iariaThis was a great episode and I enjoyed it so much more.
+ Mi Young was amazing. It was wonderful not only see her completely happy again but to see her so confident. I loved her not backing down at the press conference. I love that she took the first step. My favourite thing though was how Mi Young kept messing with Gun throughout the episode. It was delightful. Her making him think she wanted a kiss and then her 'punishment' was fun and I love how so straightforward she was about how he hurt her but at the same time she didn't seem bitter or angry over it. I loved that while he was being his usual ridiculous self at the dinning table, and all excited about them sharing a bed, she just ignored him and ate. She was doing a lot of that sort of thing, and a lot of smiling fondly at him. I loved it. The whole scene was very cute. I also loved her taking him to stay in her old apartment.
+ Mi Young/Gun were making me happy. They were just cute and flirty and fun again. I loved her calling him on pretending to read for an hour but watching her work instead.
+ I loved the Mi Young/Daniel scene and how Daniel handled Mi Young 'breaking up' with him. He tried to keep the air light and to make it easier on her and I loved him telling her that he needed a little time to come to terms with his feelings but it wouldn't be forever.
+ I loved Grandma's lament about kids these days and how they have no romance and in her day they'd just leave home if there was someone they liked and that Gun's generation was too pampered and didn't know how to have fun. Heh.
+ I loved Gun's reveal that Grandma Wang was going to take over as CEO during his 3 month 'vacation'. That scene was great and I loved the way all the board members immediately jumped up and Yong's clapping in the background.
+ I loved Tak's little giggle after calling Mi Young madam again. His glee is palpable and adorable.
+ Hah, it seems that self-sacrificing idiocy is genetic too. I did like his dad's line about being there for Yong as a father.
+ I'm not a fan of mom being against the relationship now that she knows about Gun's health issues. I can understand her desire to protect Mi Young but her 'can you image how it would feel to lose him' made me go 'uh, yeah, I think she has an idea'. She spent the last three years depressed and angry over losing him.
+ The weakest part of the episode for me was the Yong reveal. It could have been really great and would have had a lot more meaning and weight to it if we'd gotten more on his relationships with Gun and Grandma Wang. Especially Grandma. After the time skip would have been the perfect time to show how he'd been integrated into the family, shown more of Gun taking a mentorship relationship with him, and especially showed him and Grandma now having a loving relationship. Instead I can't even think of any scene where they interacted! In turn it makes his grief over losing them have very little impact. That said the Gun/Yong scene was lovely.
