iariaEpisode 3
+ I loved how Man-wol dealt with the Yoo-na/Soo-jung situation. Giving the parents the rope to hang themselves/their daughter by giving them two choices - to force their spoiled daughter to finally face consequences and take responsibility for her actions or to continue to enable her and cover up the murder - without telling them the former would return their daughter to them while the latter would lead to them inadvertently killing her soul was diabolic. I approve. But like that she did give them a chance! If they did the right thing.
Episode 4
+ Okay I'm easy, they absolutely got me with the old man and his dog. Just the old man refusing to move on because he had to stay to try and save his dog, and then the reveal that even with the door open the dog chose to stay and die with him, and then their reunion at the end before leaving together - I cried. It was sad but a lovely bittersweet version of it.
+ I enjoyed the show's version of a 'distraction kiss' as Man-wol using it to save Chan-sung's life from an insanity causing ghost.
+ I liked Chan-sung starting to come into his own. Both in his job - his investment in helping the blind ghost - and in how to deal with Man-wol is great. I liked that he had a second pen ready when she threw out the first and then him just taking her hand and signing the paperwork himself. I liked how unflappable he was when she tried to get him to leave afterwards.
+ I loved Man-wol shifting them into her bed and pinning Chan-sung to it.
+ Chan-sung turning blind ghost's killer into the police wasn't very satisfying because it made no sense. Unless the baker confesses for some crazy reason Chan-sung has no proof he killed her. I can't see him being arrested for it.
