The visual storytelling is absolutely top notch! Because at face value you can read the scene as him falling for Ga Gyeong, but on the other hand he is also being confronted by his identity crisis /loyalties.
Not to mention later on, while he pleads with Ga Gyeong not to tell Phillip what happened. He is seemingly unable to even look at her. It shows the shame, or perhaps more the cowardice, of someone who is genuinely good wanting to suppress the brutality of the regime he serves, whether he believes he is attempting to protect Ga Gyeong from getting pulled into the crossfire, or acting at his father's wishes of not letting the crimes reach the US.
This build-up with how he and Ga Gyeong are being set up to carry the torch of the movement is genuinely so compelling.
I'm having to remind myself it's only the 5th episode. It's been forever since I watched a K-drama where I wanted to dissect every episode lol
