Loving this drama so so much.The OST, the lighting and the chemistry at the end was off the charts. Loving the dynamic of all the side characters. Loved the scene between Seo-ri and her grand ma. The way things have ended, I am eagerly waiting for next episode.

Mundo just keeps muddying the waters... oh, that man. I hate him! 😠 And that rich chick thinks Segye is her property? 😤 I want to see what he has to say about that! 👆I am so sad about the grandmother... Please, don't let her die! And I wish she would stop talking like she's about to. 😭🙏 At least her words made Seori realise she wanted to be with Segye no matter what... and now they're ready to face anything together! 😊🤗❤️I am just a little afraid that Mundo might twist the truth at one point and make Segye think that Seori actually entered their relationship under his command... 🤔 However, I'm not sure if he would succeed, knowing how Segye and Seori are. 😏

I know there are a lot of people who hate the conflict phase of a romcom, but I am not one of them. As long as it's real conflict that makes sense for the plot and the characters, which this episode finally introduces. I love that this entire episode was devoted to Seori/Danshim's conflict that they also addressed in earlier episodes, in that she's determined not to fall in love because she's afraid that her vulnerability will turn her into a victim. We have other dramas where our protagonists often say "I don't want to fall in love because I'm afraid of getting hurt", but I love that Seori/Danshim goes deeper: not only is she afraid of pain, but she's already well-aware of how it feels to have absolutely no agency in her life and from those around her. Every time she thinks she can love, she is painfully reminded that her circumstances won't allow it. And so, when Mo Tae Hui tells her that she has nothing to give to Segye, those words prick both her heart and her dignity, which we know is very important to Seori/Danshim.
This was her episode and her moment to explore. Previously, we've seen her embrace her new chance at life and all the opportunities the world can give her, but now she's realized that the drawback of having a "new chance at life" is that this new chance was given to her, and not earned. She has a loving grandma who isn't really her grandma. She has a name that's not hers, and a celebrated birthday on a day she doesn't recognize. She doesn't have anyone who she can really confide in besides Segye, and only when she's slightly tipsy enough to let her guard down. She does have feelings for Segye, but his aunt and Mo Tae Hui was a bitter reminder that even in this life, she's seen as someone as "low class".
And that's why I think her realization and the final scene works so well. Only at her lowest point, can she finally grasp at something she desires. I love how she embraced those feelings not from Segye constantly chasing after her, but because of his kind words. That even if she caused him pain, she still deserves happiness. And also, her being the only one who knows the truth of his scandal empowered her to make a choice no one else could (or would!!!) make. Because the fact of the matter is that Segye really has all the resources to make a story like that go away, but no one in his family would ever make that move in order to save him. Which makes it especially poignant that Seori/Danshim is the one who tries, despite having nothing to ensure their victory together. Because in her words, she'll be happy even if they fall to ruin, as long as they're together.

I know the episode is good when it makes me shed tears. This episode made me feel Seo-ri's helplessness. I can't help but fall in love with this drama. Shin Seo-ri deserves the world. Lim Ji-yeon is a brilliant actor, she can make you hate her or fall in love with her. PD nim is spoiling us with all of Se-gye's shirtless scenes. I wish they were stranded on that island longer.
