I’m not sure where to start on this week’s episodes. These two episodes took a decent punch and ran the story along nicely.
Joon Gook became a monster by killing all those involved in
the death of his wife, mother, and son. By the end of the drama, he wanted to
make Soo Ha kill him for him to become a monster like himself. At one time Joon
Gook was a victim, but he turned into a murder when he killed Soo Ha’s father
and Hye Sung’s Mother.
Granted, we haven’t seen Hyung actually kill the other men
from the warehouse. At this stage, he’s only kidnapped and kept back the man
who lied to police all those years ago. Much like Dal Po , we’re hoping he hasn’t
gotten too deep in his revenge. Hyung is much like Joon Gook in how he feels he
has nothing to live for as his family is already dead. At this point, it’s like
he wants Cha Ok to feel the agony and torment he had to go through.
Super glad In Ha knows Dal Po’s story. I didn’t think the
drama would’ve held back on her figuring out the connection between him and
Hyung. In Ha and Dal Po aren’t only in love, but they desire to help each other
be the best. Dal Po could’ve lied to In Ha, but he chose to trust her. Dal Po
was able to move forward from his past due to his new family and being given
the chance to see life as a reporter. His goal in life isn’t righting the wrong
from his past, but to build a new life with his experience. He still carries the
scars from his past, yet he’s accepted those hardships.
It hurt watching Dal Po keep the truth from his brother. He’s
so scared to find out his brother has gone down a road he can’t be saved from. What
Hyung’s plans are and were doesn’t matter. In Ha gave away information only Hyung
and his family would know. Dal Po had to confess his real identity to protect
her and his brother. I’m worried Hyung won’t believe him, but he has a good
memory to convince his brother with the truth.
The world is in love with Hyung, but his crimes are going to
come out. How far are his crimes and what story will be narrated? I’m trying to
figure out the main theme of the drama. Part of it is words have power. The
idea of “the pen is mightier than the sword” holds truth in one of the main themes.
Words can change opinions on a much grander scale. Where a sword can only
change one person.
In Ha also had a tough time these two episodes. The cold
mother who didn’t contact her for 13 years was slowly becoming nice. Beom Jo
did good by giving In Ha’s text to Cha Ok. It’s clear his feelings are honest
in wanting her to happy . If I wasn’t in love with the OTP, I could get behind
Beom Jo. Back to mother and daughter, I do think we saw Cha Ok’s vulnerability.
In those moments of her reading her daughter’s text, it came to her about
missing out on her daughter’s life, yet In Ha doesn’t hold a grudge against
her.
In Ha standing up to Cha Ok was a highlight. Yes, it was a brutal
question and answer towards Cha Ok, but it needed to be said. It’s in the fact
she believes she did nothing wrong 13 years ago. It wasn’t a crime to tell an impactful
story. Yes, Cha Ok was young and ambitious, but it doesn’t excuse her for telling
the same story years later. She made the story about the fireman impactful and didn’t
own up to the consequences her story made . She forgot or chose to ignore, the
power of her words can affect people. She made the choice to go down the impactful
story instead because of her eagerness to get the best story. Cha Ok must tell
herself nightly it wasn’t personal, but just business which just makes her
cold. Her manner of reporting is no more serious than a tabloid reporter.
The writing is pretty solid. The directing and editing is
awesome. The performance is fantastic. I can’t await to find out what next
week’s episodes will unfold. I hope our brothers can have a small happy reunion
before the crap hits the fan. Until next week, watch more Dramas.
