iariaEpisode 9
+ I loved the flashback reveal of Chan-sung counting down the seconds with his fingers of Man-wol's silence after he told her to ask him back, and that he knew for those three seconds she wanted to.
+ I really like how confident and steady Chan-sung has become with Man-wol.
Episode 10
+ I'm glad that Chan-sung got some closure over his mother but I was surprised that we didn't get more between them. They don't really talk to each other, he doesn't ask her anything not even why she abandoned him/never tried to contact him, she doesn't ask about him and his life. You'd think being confronted with her shameful (?) and sad past and the son she abandoned she would find herself with unfinished business and unwillingness to move on. Chan-sung doesn't even ask about her family - he could have siblings and grandparents and aunts/uncles and cousins! The whole thing felt pretty rushed.
+ I loved that Man-wol/Young-soo moment. A part of him seemed to recognise her and while she got closure from seeing him happily reincarnated I hope they meet and get to be friends again.
+ Seon-bi's pride and glee over his plan, the way he couldn't stop grinning and giggling, was hilarious.
+ Sanchez's past reveal was harsh but I loved that Chan-sung saved his life in his worst moment and then was there for him everyday afterwards until it was better. It adds a new layer to their friendship and to Sanchez as a person.
+ Chan-sung changing the topic to a nearby restaurant amused me. It clearly felt great to use her own trick against her.
+ The water spirit ruining Chan-sung's dramatic declaration by immediately returning the medicine made me laugh.
