Huh?

Thanks to this episode I managed to learn a few words in Korean. Like Kamsamnida or Oma which is a big plus. But considering the fact that HER MANAGER SENT HER PARAGLIDING NEAR NORTH KOREAN BORDER doesn't really make sense to me. Although the main character does have a sort of promising future with her character development now situated in North Korea her key characteristics are pretty straightforward. Coming from a typical rich family with an issue revolving around who gets the money is too simplistic in my opinion and it's a big shame considering the immensely interesting theme choice of a South Korean citizen accidentally coming to its Northern neighbors. What really frustrated me and left a pretty sour impression on me in the end was the final scene where the main female character was held against a wall by another North Korean male protagonist. I don't know if I was simply expecting too much but it really bothered me that the series chose these repetitive aspects even more so when as I mentioned the theme truly does sound engaging.

My two cents on the argument between CSS & LBY

I think the argument between Cheng Shaoshang and Ling Buyi was necessary in this episode. I couldn't find myself to support one more than the other in that scene.LBY has his own internal issues, hence doesn't trust people that easily and hasn't let CSS in yet. He was right in worrying about CSS as matters in the Imperial Court is very tricky and dangerous. You never know who's on your side and who's not.Now looking at the scene from CSS perspective, she has her own trust issues too. LBY just dropped her in the palace saying she shouldn't be reckless there. He doesn't share much about why and she isn't used to being in Imperial Court. She is kind to those who treat her with good intentions, she wants to look after the people she cares about and doesn't think much beyond that. That's who she is and always has been.Understanding one another, opening up, sharing their thoughts and learning to trust each other is important for these two characters, and I hope this leads to further growth in their relationship.
