iaria+ I loved the juxtaposition of Se-yeon calling Ma-pi trash for putting a tracker on the car with Sang-won pleading with them to go slow over the speed bumps from the trunk.
+ In-sung getting physical with Sang-won and actually managing to hold him down was rather unbelievable to me. Sure, he's hurt right now. But also he kicked Ma-pi's ass.
+ In-sung saving the stroller was great but I was a little annoyed that the mother just lied there crying out. If In-sung could get to the stroller, she, who was closer, could also do so.
+ I loved Ma-pi's silent judging face at In-sung and Se-yeon's investigating. It's my new favourite thing.
+ I don't really get why In-sung so desperately doesn't want his parents to know he's acting CEO. It was really sweet for Se-yeon to cover for him and their flailing to cover was funny but seriously just tell them! His dad getting so emotional on the bus ride home over how well his son is doing and that he'd be okay, and the reveal that he'd taped up the lamp was super sweet.
+ Min-a scolding the housekeeper for judging Ma-pi based on how he looks because you can't judge a book by its cover, and that the beast was a prince, was kind. I loved In-sung teasingly calling Ma-pi 'the beast'.
+ I like how we got to see In-sung using skills from his previous jobs. It'd be nice to see more of that during his investigating.
+ I also don't get why Sun-joo doesn't just call Min-a. He's a cell phone* he can talk to Min-a every day if he wants! Tell her he had to leave the country suddenly for work and then talk with her every night. This is the easiest thing ever! Be a more present dad!
+ *Honestly I don't think he's dead. This show is too light-hearted and fun to have that happen. He's been kidnapped or is in a coma or is in hiding or has amnesia. The voice they've been working with is Baro 4.
