Aaand we're back with the signature edginess and pace. Things are looking up in the darkness I'd been left in by the show. Which is good, because even if by the 8th episode they hadn't given a slight idea of what exactly is going on, it would have been a bummer. Too much mystery destroys the interest as well. BUT, our Show is smart, it didn't make that mistake. We now have the basic idea about all the sub-plots as well as the main plot.
So after 2 weeks of thinking if Seung Hee is Jae Hee and re-thinking that no they're different people, to finally being sure that Seung Hee IS Jae Hee after all. Not that it's been made obvious but you can see the hints. And imo, Park Hoon knows its her but is playing along with her deceit until she comes clean herself. It's better to stay by her side letting her think she fooled him rather than run away from him thinking she exposed her secret. Win-win?
Apparently not for Soo Hyun who is unintentionally heading in the direction of Park Hoon. I can see that, but unfortunately Hae Joon can see that too, which is not good. And now that we know the strong reasons he has behind his obsession with Myun Woo, he's a force to be reckoned with. I don't think he'll let Park Hoon get in his way, now that even the Director has made it clear that he must take care of the 'invader' in his castle. If I were Park Hoon, I'd sleep with one eye open.
The fog obscuring the actual plot here has been lifted a bit and we can catch a glimpse or at most take a probable guess at it. Everything seems to come back to Premier Jang and his heart surgery. But is that all? Of course there must be something more to it. I hope there is. The show's handling the mystery well, its keeping me interested.
More revelations in the next episode, can't wait!

It's getting a little hard for me to digest that there are only 3 episodes left for this drama to end. I've never felt like this while watching a drama, maybe because this is the first time I'm watching one while it's airing.
Anyways, we've been pretty much riding a merry go round for the last few episodes, and it's safe to think we'll be stuck on it till the finale. We go up and we go down. But you still love riding the merry go round don't you? :P
The eternal struggle Park Hoon faces between his love/obligation with Jae Hee and his ethics as a doctor continue now as well. Hopefully this last round will put an end to that since it's pretty clear there won't be a tie any longer (I really hope not otherwise I am afraid we'll have a really disappointing finale in our midst).

Still quite different from what the show began as, but I do not oppose the track it's taken. Pretty much everything has been revealed now and we can finally see the characters' stories being taken forward.
The love quadrangle that everybody knew was going to come has settled in with a vengeance and I don't think everyone will come out unscathed.
A good episode, I just hope there isn't some major dragging on of the story coming along now, that'd be just too bad.

It feels as if we're taken a round about route to our destination. We are still heading towards the culmination of the grand scheme but we've set on a better path than before.
Now we get to see some character development and better insight to what those characters are. I'm not a 100% sure I like this route as it seems to have come in too late for a show that's only got 7 episodes left to go. In my opinion the show wasted some precious episodes on the suspense building and meaningless attempts at mysterious subplots.
But I won't deny that the show is trying to get back on its feet and sprint again. Either way, I'm in till the end. The great actors deserve that!

Yes, you saw it, I gave the episode a rating that was not 10. But don't take it in the negative sense, it wasn't really the show's fault. I just couldn't get that engrossed in this episode, well because there was not much stuff to be engrossed in. It was a mellow episode that focused more on unraveling several mini-plots rather than add fuel to the fire of the main plot. And after being used to the fast and unrelentingly challenging episodes so far, I felt myself waiting for the episode to take on a thrilling twist, which never came. My expectations are at fault here.
We got the pretext of Dr. Park Cheol's department to NK, got to know the role of Director Choi in the whole scheme, got to witness further evilness of Premier Jang, got a hint as to what's really driving Dr. Han Jae Joon to take over the hospital. Small, but hopefully useful revelations that will help build the foundation of the elaborate suspense the Show (hopefully) has in store. Also instead of Seung Hee (who I don't think is Jae Hee, my apologies for assuming in the last episode that she is), Dr. Yang took up the role of "Suspicious Doctor" in this episode, what's up with that? Does everybody in this hospital have an hidden agenda? Except Dr. Moon maybe, who is adorably clueless and needs a helmet.
This episode made me rethink almost all of the theories I had made up in my mind about the Secret Mission every other person seems to be involved in. But still, we're still left scratching our heads wondering what exactly is the mission. Is it the destruction of the hospital? Destruction of Premier Jang? What is it?
I think the next episode will be more like the typical style of the show since all they did was lay the blue print in this episode, now the things will be in motion from the next episode, again, hopefully.

The episode was as they say.. Daebak! :D Captivating turns and twists to keep you on your toes. The cat mouse chase between Park Hoon and Jae Hee doesn't tire me out, which is saying a lot since such chases usually become monotonous and annoying after a point. But as there's so much mystery behind the whole thing that you don't give a shit about the fact that he lost his lead to her yet again, you find yourself so engrossed in the suspense, nothing else matters then.
Started out with some more mysterious behavior on Jae Hee's part (who btw is calling herself Han Seung Hee now) who I could bet my non-existent savings didn't die in that camp, and the doctor who said she died was lying obviously. What evades me completely is how the hell does the Secretary know every bloody thing that is going on. How is it even possible for one person to know SO much about everyone. It's godly. Jae Hee is a part of something huge, that I'm sure of. I knew it in the last episode itself that the black leather jacket clad person who kept stalking everybody and gave brown packets to Jae Hee was that horrible NK officer (sneaky jerk btw), so HAH Show, I guessed that right *Smug*
Lee Jong Suk and Park Hae Jin are exceptionally good at their roles. Somewhere during the episode, I stopped seeing them as actors just acting out their parts (brilliantly at that) but as actual people whose stories were being told. They pull you into the whole thing to that extent. All the emotions that they portray actually hit you as reality. The same can be said for the rest of the cast, nothing is out of place, not even a nurse.
There's so much under those layers of the onion that Jae Joon is, and I think we got a glimpse of that in this episode. His ambitions and his feelings for Soo Hyun are at war now which is going to be interesting, what with the potential that Park Hoon and Soo Hyun have as a couple. Which brings us back to the initial point on which this whole thing is happening - Park Hoon's love for Jae Hee, who I think is avoiding getting involved with Hoon despite her love for him, for whatever reasons, but still wants him to keep running after her? Brilliant angle for a sub-plot in my opinion.
Agh the mystery the suspense is so frustratingly amazing! In the last few sequences the cryptic dialogues of Jae Hee and that NK brute almost had me pulling my hair. Suddenly I'm not so sure If Jae Hee is Jae Hee or if she's really Seung Hee.. God, the theories are making my head ache. I could literally go on and on about each scene and how great it was, but you should just watch it for yourself and be floored by the performances.
