8.0/10

This Drama keeps bringing all the feels. The tensions from the brothers just killed me. Especially since Kang Hae Jun can't see that his desperation is clouding his eyes. I wish he could see and hear the horrible things that Kim San Ha's mom says to him. She want's him to move to Seoul, and yet she's already telling him that bad things only happen when he's around.

Which was a powerful moment. As Kim San Ha realized some of his feelings about a certain someone. I normally get ticked off when flashbacks already happen. These were will used. I'm definitely on team Kim San Ha and Yun Ju Won. Plus, I'm so releaved that Hae Jun is clearly not a second lead in the since that he also wants Ju Won. He clearly only sees her as a sister.

Which is good since I'm totally into Ju Won and Park Dal as an item. She's too cute and I think they are well suited. Though I fear she has a toxic mom. There's too many mom issues!

It was also interesting seeing both dads in this episode and their roles. Not to mention how they support each other. It broke my heart that Yun Jeong Jae is tired of everyone trying to tell him that his kids are not his. That he is honored and he is THEIR FATHER! Even Kim Dae Uk doesn't deny his fellow dad the right to claim his son as one of his kids.

Found family is one of my most beloved tropes. I love that even when blood fails us. We can find love and true family somewhere else. It's too beautiful. I love the three leads so much!!! The actors are doing a fantastic job and I love how Ju Won fights for her family with positivity and happiness.
