Flashbacks . . .

OK, I'm a bit of a snob about flashbacks. Very few stories ever use them right. This episode didn't do too bad. However, there were multiple flashbacks of one event and that weighed it down heavily. Some were used very well to help flesh out the situation and characters. So if I think about it they actually were very well done. It's just it nocked my enjoyment down a little bit. As I've said I am a flashback snob. There were a number of them that could have been cut down on.

Now other then those slowing bits this was a great episode. The amnesia has served it's purpose in showing that both characters do genuinely love each other. Most importantly it shows that Soo Ha still loves Hye Sung no matter what. So it was a pretty good confirmation.

This episode is bring in a lot of crazy stuff though. Hints about why Soo Ha's father may have been killed. A chance meeting by a certain prisoner that is briefly cut to and then totally dropped!! WHAT! But most importantly Prosecutor Seo gets some development. And I genuinely like her now. She may be flawed but she spent her 11 years making herself into the woman she truly wanted to be. She learned from her mistakes and became a pretty darn good Prosecutor. (Yeah, I'm looking at you Hye Sung. Looking at you.)

Overall the emotional suspense of this episode was great. It hurt a little to have those bad flashbacks peppered in cutting out some intensity from my announce. But I have a feeling most viewers won't have that problem. Anywho. The plot of this series is really tight, well thought up, and I'm enjoying how far the scope of this thing is going. While I'm nervous about that too quick scene, I have faith that the writers are going to deliver.
