Five Stars

I can't in good conscience let the only review of this episode be a negative one. I really loved this episode, like all the other episodes so far. This show is so special. I have noticed that kdramas tend to lean towards the melodramatic and the over-the-top. This show has all those melodramatic plotlines but it isn't melodramatic. For me, this episode was special because everyone finds out and the way that the show took time to show these people digest the news was amazing. It was so slow and perfect. I understand that slow is not to everyone's taste but if you like lingering on human interactions and really emotionally realistic and mature pacing, this show does that so well.
Also, I just love friends loving each other through hardships.

A snoring festival

A most boring episode if ever there was one. 70 minutes of mianhae uttered in every possible form, shape and length, with a background music that sounds so ominous one is compelled to believe a tragedy of cosmic proportions is going to happen - the plague, a tsunami, the attack of the giant ants.If only any of these cataclysms could finally make Jin Ah's mother be silent for a second, I'd sign for it.Now, there's only one person who still has to be informed of the scandal of all scandals: his grey eminence Joon Hee's father. I wonder if they are going to subject us to another 70 minutes of"Dad...""I...""ahhh...""ehm...""we..."etc. etc.Why am I still watching this? Mysteries of an idle mind.
