Shooting day has come. All interns join the battlefield which does not always go according to plan. At least, Ryan learned how to tie shoelaces and take responsibility for his own duty. (Source: IMDb)

Turning Point?

I think one of this series' strengths is its ability to build tension throughout the show. It's not just with the characters; every element of the show contributes to the tension. This episode, in particular, used its bgm effectively before the intro theme. Even though it's just Ryan's dream, you can feel the panic he feels along with him, just because of the bgm used in that scene. I'm not completely sold on the bgm yet, but I think it's not as distracting as in the previous episodes.

I might've also figured out why I like the last part (4/4) a lot. It captures the feeling of coming home after work—a breath of relief. You know Ryan is going home soon and won't make the mistakes he made initially. It also encapsulates the theme of each episode. And as I saw someone say before, each episode feels like a movie.

The show pays great attention to detail, and no previous action gets lost. For instance, when Pie hesitates to confirm with Jane if the extra should leave and ends up giving the go-ahead without confirmation, it's a callback to her feeling that her question would be dismissed by Jane just like the printer repairman question was.

I also like seeing Judy mentor Ba-Mhee. I think we're going to see more of them from now on. I also want to know what resulted in the current dynamic Ba-Mhee has with Tae. Ba-Mhee is annoying at the moment, but I know she's going to get some development along the way. I would like to see more of Pah too. I think there's more to the smiley face, and I'm liking PahPie so far.

Overall, this episode feels like a turning point, where the pacing picks up in the following episodes compared to earlier. We understand Jane's character better after this episode. We also see that Ryan is competent and has potential for growth in his job, and we recognize that he has familiarized himself with his surroundings. While the phone plot device was a little over the top, I understand that Ryan might've felt pressured at one moment, and he is not 2D like some people think he is.

This episode features budding relationships (did not realize I loved slow burn this much. looks like masking tape on shoes get me smiling) and characters with room for growth, and some are already growing. That growth doesn't happen overnight.

Three Stars

How is a college student unable to literally do anything? Ryan is so lucky he's played by Gun because no one else on earth could make this role likeable. I'm really looking forward to seeing Ryan gain some confidence and competence, but this episode hit me right in my annoyance.
