Soul Mate Episode 5

here i was trepidatious going into this ep…

here i was trepidatious going into this ep cause i didn't want to see the "fall out" of Jo Han's situation - ironically he was let go - cause thankfully the bar owner wasn't bought by the shady Shim f*ck. but that f*ck did get the public involved with fake-new spread online & as we know the public doesn't care if it's true or not - they just need someone to take out all that's wrong in their own lives on. poor Jo Han got kicked around, rejected & bullied that he just decided to run away. thankfully his sister & Ryu cared enough to come in-search of him. & Ryu offered that he come live with him in Japan. so something bitter sweet & heartwarming pretty quite. was hoping that finally "they" would let us breath - nope. *********************************************
the sec the focus shifted to Sumiko & Seiichi i knew something bad was gonna happen, as their life was going too well - they were happy & the writer of this doesn't like happiness - he gotta show us how brutal life can be, so every character in his drama gotta suffer - ugh. ********************************************************************************************************************
side note: i have seen a lot of comments saying that there aint a kiss to make it definitive that they r a couple, personally i think this is progressing realistically. not every couple hops into bed the sec they meet - some need time like getting into a cold bath - some might jump in, other will dip a toe & progress slowly. Ryu & Jo Han might not be intense in their attraction, but it's something more - that's why this is called soul mate - cause they connected on a deeper level & u see how much they care for each other in the little things & that makes this that much more "moving" IMO. i love them living together, but as there 3 more ep's to go i doubt this will last which makes me sad but that is life...
