9.0/10 - Yong Shik! Wow!!! Just wow!!!!!!!!!

I am one of those cold hearted people who hates long crying scenes. This one. This one was gold. It was everything and I will forever love Yong Shik. * Standing Ovation *

Huh, why doesn’t Yong Shik want Dong Baek to find out who his mom is. Or his mom to find out that he knows Dong Baek. Or both? And more? * wiggles eye brows * He-he. See Yong Shik is so smart though. Dong Baek wanted him to stay away from her at the market, but he proudly says that’s a way to start the rumors. If I just boldly and proudly say that I like you and I’m interested, that’s manners. That’s respect. He just earned major points with Dong Baek. As we see in the flashback with Dong Baek and Jong Ryul, that Jong Ryul kept her a secret.

Okay, last episode I figured out that Dong Baek’s employee is the one that’s going to get killed. She’ll steal Dong Baek’s bracelet and now her budding relationship with Mr. No is going to make her a target. Because the killer already broke in and he knows both women. (From comments I’m not the only one thinking this!!)

With Yong Shik boldly saying he likes everyone. Even telling Dong Baek that she’s acting like a fool letting those women bully her and then that he likes her. I love it when Dong Baek asks why he always ends with a a love confession. It’s only a matter of time before Yong Shik’s mom finds out the truth. I love that his mom finding out is also another epic love confession. But way would she not want to be friends with Dong Baek. That seems like something Duk Soon would be happy about!!

So the viewers don’t know the hole truth about what happened between Dong Baek and Jong Ryul. It maybe sounds like she left Jong Ryul, and that’s why he spaced out and ruined the big game. What is clear to me is that Jong Ryul didn’t treat her how she deserved. How I want her to be treated. He was ashamed of her, and even now can’t understand her. He judges her for how she earns money. Yong Shik is more than willing to tell her how great she is. That she owns her own business and makes sure her son is fed. Raising a wonderful kid. Strongest person he knows.

My final thoughts on this episode is that it’s a scandal if she is with a married man, but it’s also a scandal if she “seduces a baechler.” I thought Yong Shik’s mom said “She can get a single man too, she doesn’t need your husbands.” But basically she’s not supposed to date anyone. WTF.
