Padam Padam Episode 7 Reactions

This drama has really kept up with good quality, but I think this episode had some of the best editing and video quality. There were some really beautiful scenes. There were really funny scenes as well. I cried, laughed, and gasped in this episode. It was so well done.
A lot of the concepts of this drama are a abstract. For example, in the beginning, his consciousness kept moving from in the water to in the phone booth, etc. It could've been really confusing and boring if done wrong. Honestly, just trying to explain such a concept or scene to a friend would be confusing. This scene was executed perfectly. This drama has various characters, themes, and genres simultaneously but It's not cluttered, confusing, or directionless. It all fits together perfectly. The heart to heart talk with Kang Chil and his son are is really well done. I'm also impressed at how this drama is handling the romance. It's very natural and fun to watch. The beginning scene was amazing, the sauna and karaoke scenes were amazing, and the ending swimming scenes were all superb. Everything in between was wonderful too. The script and acting have no flaws. So very impressive.
This episode was very impressive. Just, wow. My favorite episode ever.

One of my favorite parts of the episode was when the whole family went bathing. Seeing them singing together and having fun was very heartwarming, and when In Jung accepted that Kang Cheol was his father was also very moving.
The love story is also advancing. As Kang Cheol decides he wants to live for the one he loves, he decides he will love Ji Nah no matter what, and Ji Nah is starting to realize that she too likes Kang Cheol. The last scene in which both are swimming under the moonlight was very romantic.
So far I'm loving the drama, the sci-fi storyline is not very overwhelming, making it to be believable, I really like the detail of the plot and the acting so far has been nothing but great.
