This episode made me feel all the feels. It was so cute. So heart breaking. What a beautiful job at putting all the pieces of this beautiful found family together.
I was so heart broken for San Ha. That type of grief can be horrible. And to blame a child. Sometimes there is no blame, just wrong choices. I cried so hard.
I was curious how San Ha's bio dad was gonna fit in. That breakfast thing was so cute. Find the people you belong with.
Totally amazing first episode.
