Amazingly acted and a series high point so far

Hand the Baeksang Best Actor nomination to Yeo Jin-Goo in this very second!This was such an amazing episode of so many emotions culminating together in our male lead. Fighting and facing the overwhelming sense of guilt he has pent up inside himself since he was a little boy to finally mustering up and having the courage to just .. let go, if only for a bit.Moon Ga-Young continues to show just how much of a good actress she is. I guess magic does really happen when you have two people on similar acting caliber and get them together to create such a strong duo.With this episode, I can say that the mixture of melodrama, slow and nicely built up romance, fantasy elements, comedic moments & mystery ties up really well. It allows us chances to breathe and lighten up but also keeps us on our toes, while the core of the show explores topics of grief, blame, guilt, abuse through the lens of family and community relations.

Five Stars

I was not expecting this episode to be that good. It was just great. Ji Woo's crying made me cry too and the kissing scenes were just amazing. Korean BLs are now getting better and better. I mean this series was totally worth watching, it had a deep story and the characters were so realistic and I just love the relationship between them. The only problem with this series was that I waited for this season for quite some time and I was expecting to see more of their relationship that is why I was a little disappointed but that doesn't make it any less good . It was great, definetely worth watching. And now I'll start to wait for them to announce a third season because this series is giving me goosebumps in a good way.

A work of art!

HJW = Han Ji WooKSJ = Kang Seo JoonFirst of all, this episode is 43mins long?!!! UM WOW?!!There were so many impactful lines in this episode alone. Here are just some of them:HJW says: “Then, you too. Don’t have frequent calls with others. And don’t laugh. I’m the jealous type. I won’t let you do it.” and KSJ responds “All this time, you acted like it was nothing.” and HJW responds saying “I’ve been holding it in all this time. Had I say it, I was afraid it’ll affect your job”. These lines, alone, explain things so thoroughly it is incredible. The scriptwriting on this drama is incredible. I love how transparent, comfortable and sincere the two are. They begin to realise that they are extremely dependent on each other, which is absolutely adorable. It also brings out explanations for HJW’s cold behaviour in Episodes 1-6, showing how HJW truly cares for KSJ, enough to put himself on the line to ensure KSJ’s career does not go haywire. An act of love!HJW’s caring & empathetic nature is brought about so well in this episode, and I was grinning from ear to ear in so many parts of this episode. Another line said by KSJ to HJW says “Are you a baby? What a blabbering crybaby” DAMN in the midst of their transparency KSJ is also able to inject humby teasing HJW.. wow!My absolute favourite scene of the entire drama is also in this episode. From 6:30 to 8:30, the portion where they’re on the staircase and HJW asks for a hug, this has to be one of the most touching and heartwarming scenes of all time. At the 11th minute, the chemistry was already GOING OFF THE ROOF. Their chemistry in this episode has to be one of the best chemistries I’ve seen in dramas of all time. The way they fall back on each other when they face adversities, the way they take turns to hug each other on the bed, they way they actively tease each other, the love that is so overwhelming even as a viewer, romance and chemistry was so successfully executed in this episode and I will most definitely be rewatching this episode again, and again. It is so good. One can see how KSJ changes when he’s with HJW too. KSJ appears to be much more bubbly, lively and overall active compared to his previous self without HJW. He even answers calls now!Another portion of this episode I would like to touch on is Yoo Ha’s involvement. She absolutely girlbossed when confronting the little kid who spread rumours about KSJ.And of course, needless to say, HJW (or shall I say KSJ’s hubby) is the first to know about any news related to him?!There were extremely good links to Season 1 too, and another star line appears. “You (HJW) once asked me (KSJ) why I loved you despite our differences… I guess I like you for who you are”. UM!??? THIS IS SO CUTE LOL OMGAlso lord have mercy on me because the two of them are both wearing rings on their ring finger. It’s so cute I absolutely cannot. I told myself I wouldn’t write another review because I’m so caught up with schoolwork, but this episode was so so so so so so stunning. Incredible work of art and in totality, made me absolutely prefer this season compared to the very first season. Finally some representation for Korea BL! Last of all, their chemistry is also strengthened when HJW says this line, “I mean.. I just fear the whole world may find out how handsome KSJ is”. The use of irony here! KSJ is a celebrity so the fact that HJW says this line makes their love life even more impactful, one where HJW realises he’s got the man of his dreams in his possession and no one else, not even his fans, can compare to HJW. So lucky eh, HJW?~Interestingly, the extended metaphor of the star and the universe is brought out through the last episode as well. Good move by the scriptwriting to convey the show’s message again! Wonderful and splendid episode, I hope a season 3 comes out!This episode gets a solid 10/10 from me :) If i could give it 11, I would.
