Wow, okay - First of all: This episode settled it. They changed their mind and turned Shi Woo into the main character. Chi Ang isn't much more than an irrelevant side character anymore. I couldn't remember the last time he had any sort of interaction with Shi Woo except for silently glaring at him before they finally had a conversation in this episode. Even Yeop Jung had more relevant screen time!

What I liked: I'm starting to feel the whole romance between Soon Deok and Shi Woo. I like that they're not oblivious, they both 100 % know that they like eachother. It's good, the romance really doesn't have to be dragged out if the drama has as much plot as this one.

The pace is picking up, we're getting more and more intense scenes. They're building up to the final fights already. This episode was just really, really good. This drama went a bit downhill between episode 5 and 9, I absolutely won't deny that, but the beginning was great and if they keep it up and the next few episodes are even nearly as good as this one, it will be a great show overall. I'm very happy with its development right now.

(Speaking of development: Chi Ang's screen time didn't just get cut, his character development also got reversed. He's acting like a stereotypical second lead/villain without any depth. This is definitely a negative point and the reason this episode doesn't get its otherwise well-deserved 10.)
