7.0/10 - Books are romance, books are love.

As a diehard bookworm, that little romantic sweetness that Se Ri does to Jung Hyuk's bookshelves was the most romantic and best thing ever. Yes, yes. There was that great romantic good by. "A single step should be okay." That just proves how much of a bookworm I am. But let me get real. This episode was intensely romantic. I LOVED IT.

So first of all we didn't need the kidnapping from Se Ri's POV, it really didn't add anything. Plus, they flashed to the Wiretapper's son picking up the present later anyway. That's what really dragged down this episode for me. Too much flashbacks. Not enough in the present now build up! The Switzerland revelation was perfect, but the other stuff not so much. It's always been one of my biggest drama pet peeves. It's one of the reasons I really debated giving this episode a 6 instead of a 7. It really held it back. Even with 10 star lines like this:

"I can't believe this. That day, I was really lonely. That day I wished to die then. I wanted to go to a beautiful place and quietly disappear so I didn't trouble anybody. That's why I went there. But you were. . . there. Even when you didn't know it, you saved my life." - Se Ri

Jung Hyuk: "You can date men and hang out with other people as if nothing happened. But don't be lonely again. Don't ever think about disappearing at a scenic place. You have me. "
Se Ri: "You won't be by my side."
Jung Hyuk: "I won't be by your side, but I will always hope that you won't be lonely. bey happy until the end of your life. I would be grateful if you do that."

So I called it! Jung Hyuk's dad did the nabbing! Jung Hyuk's mother is smart. She zeroed in fast to what was going on. That Se Ri was what her son needed and that they were in love. Watching Jung Hyuk's father realize it WAS EVERYTHING!!!!!! Ha-ha! What a great actor. Let me tell you these to are in love and while there's no face to face full on confession. Their looks, actions, and words say it. Even if it isn't a straight up "I love you." These moments are more impactful than many other dramas in which the leads come out and say "I like you" or "love you." True.

This is a strong episode. Firstly Seo Dan and Seung Jun flirt. Seung Jun even carries Seo Dan back to her house. Her mom having to bribe the elevator person to not gossip. Ha-ha! The evil Lieutenant is in big trouble as Jung Hyuk is multiple steps ahead!! Woot! Woot! The Wiretapper might get bold and try and do the right thing now. Se Ri's mother is seeing the truth about her daughter. So there might be reconciliation there. That would be lovely.

Well I'm off to the next episode. You can't leave off on a cliffhanger kiss scene like that!!
