One Stars

was sure Baek Sa Eon would notice at the start, what he did by the end. this whole ep felt like filler & the more i see of the past, the less i like Baek Sa Eon. idk why he fell for the older sister or what their deal was... but he didn't have to drag Hong Hui Ju into this mess (but then no drama lol).********************************************************************************************************************************************now i kinda get that Hong Hui Ju is an only child (her sister isn't biological) but cause the children of the Chairman were the ones that died & got disabled, Hong Hui Ju's mother forced her to act like she too was injured in the accident. so he wouldn't take out his anger for his loss, on the new wife & her child. personally i don't get this way of thinking, but i guess the mother knew what type of man she married & didn't torture her child for the heck of it... still doesn't justify traumatizing & abusing her daughter - let alone continuing said abuse.********************************************************************************************************************************************Sim Gyu Jin (Baek Sa Eon's mother) is another one i don't get, from what little we get about her & her past she knows what it's like to marrying into that family. shouldn't she as someone who went through that hell not try & be a better mother-in-law towards Hong Hui Ju???********************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i really love a lot of the side character's they add some much needed levity. also love how Ji Sang U doesn't bow-down or back off when Baek Sa Eon tries his usual tactics of trying to bully him into submission showing he's top dog. like how Ji Sang U stands his ground & even push's back - about time someone puts him in his place

Sa Eon is so possessive of Hee Joo, I love…

Sa Eon is so possessive of Hee Joo, I love their chemistry. And the characters fit so well in everything such a perfect choice, had to say that. And the scenes where he's blushing because of that emoji it's so fucking cute. And His Jealousy Omo that's perfect. Her sister is back. Feel bad for Hee Joo for her past and all. But feeling bad even more for Sa Eon, this guy's tense about everything protecting his wife so that nothing bad will happen to his wife, taking the stairs all the way, running to her to make sure she's protected and safe. He's got so much to do and he's got to make sure that college friend stays away from his precious Wifey. Man's so jealous that he came with her, so to make sure SML doesn't do anything. Omo she called his name, that will be his highlight moment of the day. Him learning sign language for his wife, such a moment.

slow and relatively unfulfilling episode

this is the first episode of the show that mostly sets aside the 'thriller' aspect, and it's a little lackluster for me. maybe it's the long wait, but i can't help but feel that it was a tad underwhelming, considering the pure brilliance of previous episodes.

what's amazing about this show so far is that every episode had its 'iconic' moments. i've replayed certain scenes in episodes 1-4 more times than i'd like to admit, but episode 5 takes a step back, settles in the comfort zone of tried-and-true rom-com tropes and meanders a bit. it's safe to say i won't be rewatching this episode.

the biggest problem with ep 5 is that the teasers released ahead of the airing more or less summed up the entire episode, and watching the entire length felt like an over-elaboration of things we (1) already know, (2) can infer, or (3) aren't particularly interested in. i'd go on to say that the preview of ep 5 provided to us at the end of ep 4 suggested a much more interesting storyline than the one we got. [my interpretation of the ep 5 preview: sa-eon receives a phone call to him revealing that 406 is female, and it clicks that hee-jo is likely the culprit. just as the epiphany hits, the truck of doom charges towards him; heejo cries out his name, and he turns to her in shock. truck hits/doesn't hit, episode ends.] instead, all of these moments are individualized, abruptly resolved, and not utilized to keep piling up the stakes as has been done very well in ep 1-4.

some moments i felt like were missed opportunities:
1. heejo getting caught likely talking on the phone: resolved with saving her from a fall and sa-eon deciding to let her confess in her own time. it would have been nice to show sa-eon's nagging suspicions that heejo could be 406 at this point and let that tension/fear build, then culminate in the revelation that 406 is female.
2. sa-eon's assistant confirming 406's demographic: it's shrugged off with a low-voltage drunk scene. i contend that juxtaposing this bit with the truck, as was presented in the end-of-episode preview would have been a better match for the show's prior intensity.

i understand the need for a slower-paced episode to give everyone a breather, but such episodes are usually utilized to lay down the groundwork or further develop character dynamics, none of which i felt were accomplished in this episode. other than the sign language lesson, which was adequately covered in the ahead-of-release teaser, and the truck scene, nothing much happened at all. i'm also not the biggest fan of the good old clothes-buying segment, or the extremely cheesy "fall to the ground in a kiss" trope bruh in all likelihood THAT's not gonna end in a soft demure kiss it's going to break a lip and dent your teeth.

in conclusion, definitely my least favorite episode so far.

DEVE PER FORZA ESSERE TUTTO PERFETTO PER EMOZIONARE?

Me lo chiedevo leggendo le recensioni negative. Io ho lasciato tutte le puntate precedenti col desiderio di vedere quelle successive.In questa si comincia (finalmente!) a sorridere, quando FL per errore manda un messaggio con un cuoricino a ML, e poi di nuovo alla fine dalla puntata ecco riemergere il dubbio....ormai ML sa che è FL al telefono, ma allora chi è davvero FL? La donna che pare cominciare davvero a tenere a lui, tanto da rischiare di essere investita per salvarlo, oppure è solo una facciata?E pazienza se tanti "dettagli" non tornano (lui super popolare, lei non deve essere scoperta, però girano per strada come se niente fosse): io corro subito a vedere la prossima puntata.
