Stranger's Kiss (2021) Episode 4: Only Hope

Technically, this series is weak, but it has a heart that's why I often find myself disregarding the form and focusing on the substance. Plot/storyline progressed on Episode 4: Only Hope. Niko is now working for Julius. And Prince saves him again from a thug. The dynamics among the main characters are clearer and I'm definitely Team Niko-Prince, lol. Even the side stories felt purposive. This episode also discussed serious social issues like child prostitution and queer stereotypes. Script was conversational. Again, acting was uneven. Good intent was there but execution wasn't always fine. Distracting background noises were louder on this episode than previous episodes. Cinematography needs improvement as well. All in all, it was still a good episode.
