Why Her? Episode 6

Scriptwriting +++

The scriptwriting on this episode is phenominal. Small details like how Soo Jae asked her assistant to get a coffee so as to get her away from hearing things, while knowing something personal and unique of a “request” (For Soo Jae not to date Gong Chan) was going to be made -> this completely showed me that the scriptwriter is rather strategic where they want events to flow in a very systematic manner, and the plot is rather thought out. I also particularly enjoyed the portion where she wants to reveal her trauma to Gong Chan, showing how complicated of a character she truly is. She has this very soft and delicate part to her that makes her stand out especially with Gong Chan. She realises that she cannot hide the way she presents herself to Gong Chan, as Gong Chan can see right through her. Through this analysis, it is evident that the two have this chemistry that (presumably) will be explored in the later episodes. Fantastic episode and I can’t wait to see what happens next to Soo Jae—will she be convicted of burning down killer’s car (since she is most probably the only one at the scene)? I guess we ought to wait for the next episode.. :)

This episode gets a 9-9.5 for me.
