It can still all go tits up but this was okay

Caved and watched eventhough I wanted to wait. This episode review is full of spoilers. Just saying.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!




YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!



Still here? Okay.


This will upset some people but .....I am VERY satisfied with the death of Soo-hyun. She had no purpose whatsoever. She was really interesting at the beginning and it's a good thing when the MC has a best friend who supports him or her, but her character lacked any kind of development. She was Kim Ga-on's simp. That was about it.

Kim Ga-on confessing his love for her and kissing her etc. was disgusting and weird, and no, I was just grossed out. For one thing, it made no sense. Confessing your love to the most boring character in the whole KDrama? Really now? Makes absolutely no sense. I know it is weird but it would make more sense if Kang Y uo-han fucked Sun-ah than this. Sorry, writers. Also, it felt a bit desperate and also cliched, like the writers were thinking "Look, he confessed to her, now we can finally kill her and it'll have an emotional impact, right? Right?!" Kim Ga-on is not Willow and Soo-hyun is not Tara (sorry for bringing Buffy in) and even that sucked.

Regarding impact. Yes and no. Yes her death had an impact because I felt a bit sorry for Kim Ga-on for losing his last family member, but apart from that...no. It was just "Thank God, she's FINALLY gone". I hate love triangles :g: The way is finally clear for Kang Yo-han. Don't fuck it up, buddy! Her being indirectly killed by Sun-ah was good too... at least this is my current take. There is a worry that I have and it is a justified concern - that this show will end up like "The Merciless" and this is NOT what I want to see. I really hope that Kang Yo-han had no hand in the death of Soo-hyun. Maybe Sun-ah will try to blame Kang Yo-han, maybe he has a hand in it - either is something I do not want to see. If it is clear that it is Sun-ah then Yo-han and Ga-on will be okay...if not...yeah... don't want to think about it...

I loved that Kang Yo-han is the one who definitely fell more in love. All the concern he showed during the mob scene (the three judges really looked like three guardians of hell, I loved the outfit) - lovely. When Kim Ga-on got struck in the head and he immediately rushed over, having that totally worried look on his face.... perfect

The dinner scene with Sun-ah and Elijah was intense and interesting, even compared to the very sweet dinner scenes we had with Kim Ga-on before. Really well acted. Kang Jo-han was IMO much sweeter and softer to Elijah than before, even when he tried to reassure her that he was fine (he really wasn't).

Last but not least - K. He really was killed by Sun-ah.... fuck you. Fuck you, Sun-ah. He didn't deserve that. He didn't deserve that at all.

All in all, though, it was okay. We'll see how things will play out now, but the guns are most definitely out. It's time to destroy Sun-ah and the foundation ...and please NO "The Merciless" ending.
