nafisa Junmo’s gaining gicheul”s trust since junmo saved gicheul twice now and we find out that the fishing trip was a chance to hand drugs to the Japanese to distribute. Now gicheul trusts junmo to collect a meth cooker named professor yoon who was an ex convict, only to meet with someone else. He drops the woman off to the the hotel and sees dohyeong waiting for him, and they discuss how gicheul has been handing drugs to the Japanese and donyeong tells junmo the reason that gicheul couldnt pick up the Chinese himself like usual, was because uijeong was able to distract him by asking him to meet up on the same day, which infuriated junmo since she was risking her safety, AND THE DAY BEFORE THIS JUNMO AND UIJEONG MET AT HER HOUSE SAFELY AND HE SAID HIS SORRIES FOR BEING UNABLE TO ATTEND THE FUNERAL AND IT WAS JUST SO SAD SINCE SHE WAS SO WORRIED.

This episode really sheds light on why Pobmek struggles with being a teacher he was never trained for it and you can clearly see he’s still learning, step by step, how to become a good one. It feels like we’re only scratching the surface, and there’s definitely more to unravel in the coming episodes.I knew it …there’s a deeper story behind that guitar. I’m so curious about Pobmek’s mom and the role she plays in all of this. You can tell Pobmek carries so much unhealed baggage… it honestly just makes you want to hug him. What makes it even more beautiful is how Solar senses that something’s wrong no big words, just quiet understanding and simple comfort that means everything. I really love their relationship.The small flashbacks to Solar’s childhood add another layer too, especially when Sun notices the tension between Pang and Pobmek. It feels like another puzzle piece slowly falling into place.And that mirror scene? Pobmek hugging Sun while seeing Solar’s reflection… absolutely brilliant. Director Dome never misses. Also, can we talk about Solar in his university days? Bold and completely on fire.I also love Jee and Sodchuen both characters clearly have their own stories. Jee and Pobmek’s friendship is so endearing now, with how they’re willing to help each other and Sodchuen brings a sense of warmth and understanding in his role as principal. Every character in this series feels layered, like they all have a story to tell and a lesson to share.I know some people are asking why the story isn’t focusing solely on Solar and Sun’s situation, but I honestly think this series was never meant to revolve around just one storyline. If the age regression is truly connected to trauma, it’s not something that can be fixed easily even with professional help. Healing takes time, patience, and deep understanding, especially when the root cause runs so deep.And let’s not forget there’s clearly something going on between Pobmek and his mom, and I really feel like that’s going to unravel soon.

Continuing on from last ep, junmo does fire the gun but fails to kills manager cho, which lead to jong ryeol killing the man. After coming back from fishing, jeongbae and huiseong doubt junmo and that he could be a spy but gicheul brushes it off, saying that it was just a councidence. After, uijeong get’s involved by asking to meet up with gicheul, and they have drinks together and reminisce over their past, and uijeong tells gicheul that she got “divorced”, to keep her husband, junmo, safe. Later on, uijeong wakes up from her sleep only to find out her mother has died. Gicheul somehow finds out and tells junmo to come with him, yet junmo can't go inside or he’ll attract attention and may get recognised THIS SCENE WAS SO SAD BRO OUT OF EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY EUIJEONG’S MUM WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO ACCEPTED HIM EVEN THOUGH HE WAS A LOW EANKING OFFICER, SINCE EUI JEONG’S WHOLE FAMILY WERE TOP RANKING POLICE OFFICERS BUT EUIJEONG’S MUM ACCEPTED HIM FOR WHO HE WAS AND SAID THAT SHE’LL BE HAPPY AS LONG AS SHE SAW JUNMO SMILE. THAT SCENE BROKE MY HEART TO PIECES LIKE WHY’D YOU HAVE TO DIE. AND SHE WANTED TO SEE JUNMO AS WELL BUT HE COULDNT VISIT, SINCE HE WAS UNDERCOVER. AND JUNMO DIDNT EVEN FIND OUT ABOUT THE FUNERAL FROM EUIJEONG BUT FROM GICHEUL SUGGESTING SHE TOLD HIM INSTEAD. LIKE WHY WOULD YOU NOT TELL YOUR OWN HUSBAND. WHAT ELSE ARE YOU HIDING? AND GICHEUL PLANS TO MOVE TO EUJEONG AND TRY AND GET TOGETHER WITH HER AND GICHEUL EVEN HAS THE AUDACITY TO ASK JUNMO TO HELP THEM GET TOGETHER. After gicheul wanted to go “fishing” with jeongbae and huiseong (they do something big, but we don't know and it probably brings in money as well, but they disguise what they do to the others, and say it’s “fishing” when its not) but huiseong’s pregnant wife went into labour so he couldnt join and when they were going fishing, jeongbae, who was in another car, had gotten a flat tire, so he couldnt join. And then we see gicheul and junmo, (gicheul made junmo come with him since huiseong couldnt join) getting chased by dong hyuk’s right hand man and sun gi soo’s (the leader of the jaegeon group (a rival gang)) men who had teamed together to take down gicheul, and gicheul had a knife to his throat so junmo was forced to fire a shot at one of the thugs to save gicheul.

The jazz song Qin sang at the beginning of the episode was so beautiful. I've searched everywhere but couldn't find the original. Did you know if it was written specifically for the series or translated from Thai?

estar i enjoyed this ep, even though i hated the scene with the parents who were gaslighting Qin all over again , adding to his truma & it only worked out, cause we almost at the end & needed to wrap up the issue & get a 'happily ever after' cause all the problems r solved - b.s. given those parents r the worse, just to cover up their mistakes & neglect they even now we're ready to brow-beat Qin back into silence - anyone in Duang's place would've shown them the door & not in a nice way. but that would just make the problem bigger & u couldn't just rush to solve the problems - so we got what we got. still a rushed job IMO - but it is what it is. at least the meeting with Duang's family was smoother & as personality wise they r different versions of Duang, it felt right. very warm & welcoming. **************************************************************************************************the bit that keeps bugging me (throughout this BL & this ep) that everyone keeps/kept thanking & treating Qin as if he is doing Duang a favor by accepting him as a bf. the one who lucked out is Qin - not Duang.

Even more entertaining than the first imo (I didn't like the stalking though). I like the way everything is coming together, just wish we had more episodes weekly T.T

_stars In this episode, they had amazing chemistry, Hui Ju was adorable throughout the episode, but sensible at the right times which made me like her character more. The outfits worn by I-An were really beautiful, the blending of the hanbok and modern clothes was refreshing to see. The King was so cute with his uncle. Kneeling to talk to the King was evidence that I An is a good person.

Since junmo was hanging out with uijeong, gicheul did a background check and got the photo of uijeong’s husband, BUT LUCKILY DO HYEONG SWICTHED HIS PICTURE WITH JUNMO ON THE POLICE RECORDS SO GICHEUL WOULDN’T FIND OUT, AND THEN GICHEUL CALLS JUNMO AND ASKS IF GICHEUL WAS MORE HANDSOME THAT DONGHYEONG ( SINCE GICHEUL THOUGHT DONGHYEON WAS GICHEUL’S REAL HUSBAND) so now gicheul trusts junmo. After, Junmo is made gicheul’s personal bodyguard, and since junmo, changsik, dohyeong made a plan to test gicheul. So they got cops to attack gicheul, and made it seem as though junmo was so readily ready to help defend gicheul. This moved gicheul and he made junmo his bodyguard. At the office, junmo was assigned a bunk and was give the code. This meant junmo would stay at the office when he wasn’t doing work. The next day junmo and gicheul arrive at the hopsital as gicheul goes on about how uijeong shouldn’t have married such a low ranked officer, and married somebody rich (GICHEUL’S HINTING AT HIMSELF LMAO), and junmo is told by gicheul that gicheul is visiting uijeong’s sick mother (his first love’s mother) and junmo was worried his position would get figured out so he stays at the car, waiting for gicheul. Gicheul goes to uijeong’s mother’s ward and they meet and have a conversation and a nurse walks by and tells uijeong’s mum how handsome her son-in-law is, directed at gicheul (EVEN THOUGH HER REAL SON IN LAW IS JUNMO). Afterwards uijeong’s mother asks if gicheul’s mum is alright, and DURING THIS EPISODE WE FIND OUT GICHEUL AND UIJEONG WERE TOGTHER (WHICH WE KNEW FROM BEFORE) AND THAT’S WHEN UIJEONG GIFTED GICHEUL THAT NECKLACE BUT THEN GICHEUL’S MOTHER GOT ARRESTED SO DURING HIS JUNIOR YEAR, GICHEUL AND PRESUMABLY HIS SISTER, HAD TO MOVE OUT, WHICH WAS LIKELY WHY UIJEONG AND GICHEUL WASNT ENDGAME, AND JUNMO AND UIJEONG MARRIED INSTEAD. Afterwards, song dong Hyeok tries to get away with planning to kill gicheul, since he disrespected him, and planned to take over gangnam for himself, but then gicheul’s father FIGURE, Kanemoto, who was part of the yakuza, gets donghyeok killed, which gets the tokyo police investigating. Because donghyeok died and gicheul no longer needs to pay him, they go to fishing as a reward for donghyeok’s death, which allows junmo to search the office, since gicheul’s other men went to go for drinks, so as he searches he finds nothing of use, until he notices that gicheul’s office’s lock code was uijeong’s BIRTHDAY LIKE OKAY BRO WE GET IT YOUR STILL HEAD OVER HEELS FOR THE GIRL. Meanwhile whilst gicheul and his boys are gone fishing they notice that one of the torches they had was a police torch due to the label stuck on it, and they catch on that the police were the ones who attacked gicheul that day when junmo was with him. Afterwards, a man named manager cho, attacked one of jeongbae’s underlings who disturbed gangnam crystal (the meth gicheul sold that had 99% purity) and took jungbae hostage, and after gicheul, huiseong and one of gicheul’s people kidnap manager cho after saving jeongbae, and was torturing him until jongryeol and junmo come into the scene and gicheul asks junmo to kill him using a gun, and for a few seconds junmo couldn’t pull the trigger, since he was a detective and it just didn’t sit right with him, but eventually after gicheul shouts at him to pull the trigger, junmo fires the shot.
