Four Stars

Woah,I didn't expect the slapping thing! How much did they pay for that cameo actress?That really hurts but I think she deserved it(in the story) The cliffhanger was also unexpected. P:S (My cousin was really distracted by the heroine's hair,she said it looks like a pocky keke)

Tolerance

My heart … seriously my heart cannot take such indifference for a living being let alone one own’s flesh and blood. Geun-soo– my heart broke for him and it pains me to see him born to such incompetent parents – one uses him as a tool to gain riches and the other as a threat to dangle in front of his coward, good for nothing legitimate son (again of his own doing as an incompetent parent). Ugggggggggggghhhh I was seeing red with that ass of a father blaming his son for being born out of wedlock as if he made himself... when he as a father (its true not everybody can be a parent) is the incompetent one for prying on the weak to feel powerful, including his own flesh. With all that, I commend Geun Soo for standing strong and making his own decisions – now that is a making of a man.Sae ro-yi in just one encounter managed to impact two (Geun and Yi) lives, I find that to be his strongest suit, his ability to lead but what's even more important is how they will be able to impact him as well. Now, these are relationships worth protecting.

Yi-Seo steals the show again, inching her way into Sae-ro-yi’s head and bar. Not only is she smart but she truly cares. I love her more with each passing episode. I loved Yi-Seo explaining the art of grinding and scoring, it was fun and who does he pick out of all the women in the club Hyun-yi, I just died, laughed so hard. I must say I was a bit surprised at Yi-Seo’s reaction to Hyun-yi, she seemed like she was open-minded more accepting, but I guess everyone has their limit. So, Soo Ah didn’t call the cops, why did she say she did; was she trying to see how accepting Sae would be; she did stand idly as someone else called the cops, though. What does that make her, a friend or foe? What would Yi Seo have done... When Soo Ah says she's annoyed with Sae, is it really him she's annoyed with or herself; and is it because she knows she will have to make a choice sooner or later or is it because Seo ro-yi only sees the good in her. I guess time will tell. No matter what she is or how she appears, Yi-Seo is my girl, that last scene, with the hand blocking, defending/protecting her love interest, now that was money. Love it. Today’s episode is about tolerance, I applaud the writer for taking such a controversial issue in transgender and spreading the message of tolerance. A reminder that we as human beings should make a positive and cordial effort to understand another's beliefs, practices, and habits without necessarily sharing or accepting them. Tolerance!

Misrepresentation of Trans People

Why should a trans person have to submit and gain the approval of an egotistical transphobe... Anyway Park Sae Ro Yi said trans rights bitch! This is still kind of a step in the right direction in terms of representation but obviously hope it will be executed better in the future. Also like,,, crossdressing doesnt = trans. Maybe they're just not out yet so that's why they go by he/him at work... but still rather confusing.
