Dynamite Kiss Episode 10

What happened, writers? Are you okay? (spoiler warning)

The only reason I'm still watching after this absolute character assassination is because the leads are so charming. But what was that? - after all that time describing Gong Ji-Hyeok's prowess at Tae Kwon Do and watching him at Kumdo practice he can't take on the random masked not-at-all-suspicious black-clothing-wear arsonist who went into a white-walled gallery in broad daylight to set the place on fire? - wouldn't devoted parent and friend Seon-u - race off to make sure his kid was okay before shielding his grown-up boss - make sure he knew where Da-Rim was and perhaps stop her or go with her into a burning building to save Ji-Hyeok? He could have realistically carried Ji-Hyeok outside of the building and given them space to make their confession when Ji-Hyeok woke up with no signs of smoke inhalation - I like Da-Rim's consistent wamth and determination. I'd like to see other skills besides dropping things and helping people pick up things they've dropped. Writers could have given Da-Rim English speaking skills and sent her to get caught in the fire if a fire was really necessary, and have Ji-Hyeok carry her down a flight of stairs on his back. I've accepted everything else - the cartoony bitter half-sister, the skeevy ex-brother-in-law, etc... but this episode was just unnecessary expedience. P.S. The hyped-up appearance of Namkoong Min - this was not the "My Dearest" reunion I was hoping for.
