My emotions feel wrecked!

Admittedly this is a slower episode. However, it's one heck of an emotional ride. I was right to feel nervous at the end of the last episode. Hee Ja and Nan Hee's lives are going to be taking unexpected turns. It's moving to see Sung Jae take charge to help Hee Ja. He could have just ignored it or shrugged the responsibility off onto someone else. It's heartbreaking to know the depth of his feelings for her, even if they can never truly be more than deep friends. Who knows.

Nan Hee is leaning on Yeong Won, and I would really like for Nan Hee to officially apologize. Because no matter how Nan Hee treated Yeong Won she's been there for her. Yeong Won couldn't even go to Nan Hee about her cancer, and they've only just reconciled. I feel like Nan Hee has never treated her right. That aside I have no doubt that Yeong Won will help Nan Hee through this.

In the end that's the power of this episode. All of these people are there for each other. I have a feeling the last 3 episodes are going to shred my emotions and then . . . well it involves a box of tissues and dark chocolate. Dear My Friends has painted an excellent story of growing old, embracing life, death, friends, and so on. I have no fear that these next 3 episodes will be bringing it as well. As this episode sets up everyone's stories now it's time to see if they'll be happy endings, tragic ones, or both.
