+ I love the way Jung-hoo looks at Young-shin. I love the faces he makes when she's not looking at him. I love the longing that you can practically feel. He has fallen for her so hard! This episode was great in that regards - that really long staring when she took the call from Moon-ho and was all smiles and shy delight, his look in the elevator when she is terrified and he just wants to comfort her but can't as Bong-soo, and then his expression when she picks the lock (ha!)

+ I loved Jung-hoo confessing his feelings for Young-shin, even if it was just as Bong-soo. He appeared very serious in his confession but also seemed pretty satisfied when she turned him down. I wonder what response he wanted most. Perhaps he just needed to confirm that she was still hung up on Healer and not say Moon-ho? He did prod her to confess her feelings for Healer. I wonder what he would have done if she'd said 'sure'? That could have lead to all sorts of hilarious and heartbreaking places.

+ I am so torn on Young-jae. On the one hand, he was an absolute dick to Jung-hoo when they first met and then he abandoned him a decade later with no notice and on his birthday at that. Then he didn't speak to him for a couple more years adding to poor Jung-ho's abandonment issues. It was unnecessarily cruel and he's an asshole. But on the other hand, he showed up when Jung-ho had no one else and needed someone, took him in and trained him and helped him. He didn't need to do that. He gave a decade of his life to being there for Jung-hoo.

+ Aw, Young-jae describing all of them seeing Moon-ho as a younger brother.

+ Oh, Jung-hoo, why are you carrying around Young-shin's broken phone, you sentimental doofus.

+ This episode went to a really dark place. The confrontation scene between Jung-hoo and Young-jae went a little over the top in place but Jung-hoo's fraught and painful confession about why he needed to know the truth about his father's suicide was so well done. God, poor Jung-hoo. Needing to know why his father would commit suicide when he had a wife and son to give himself a reason not to commit suicide -- ouch!

+ So Moon-shik sold his soul to the Elder to save Myung-hee's life rather then to have her as I previously thought? Because if that is how it happened it does make a difference. Moon-shik was always covetous of Myung-hee and the whole, still cloudy, situation with Ji-an made it easy to believe that he went down the dark path so he could have her. It changes how I see him, and his relationship with Myung-hee, now. Plus it appears he didn't have a hand in the accident that killed his friends which adds another point to his side.

+ I enjoyed Young-shin undercover, acting all haughty and keeping her head. Then her working part her fear and taking control of the press conference. She did really well.

+ Everyone's comic over awe of Moon-ho was hilarious. I loved how Jung-hoo wasn't affected by sudden hero-worship and was all perplexed by Young-shin and Jong-soo's reactions. Him waving his glove in front of their faces amused me a lot.
