This was a good episode. I'm finally feeling the connection between Han Bom and Seo Ki Joo, which up til now, I haven't been convinced of. The story is okay, but the actors haven't convinced me until now. This episode, it's begun to be believable. Things which have helped: they've begun to be honest with each other, just openly showing that they need each other; Han Bom is no longer (at least here) being pushy and overbearing; Ki Joo isn't acting like a scared dog, but taking some charge of his situation, and realising it's not just him anymore, but the two of them together. A really nice development shown this episode is Seo Ki Joo realising that he wants to live. He never really had a reason before; just believed he would die at this age, and that was his fate. He had no reason to hope otherwise. But now, he has someone who makes him want to live; someone he wants and needs to live for. She doesn't want him to leave her, too, like her grandmother. She needs him to stay. So he has a will to do his best to live, now. A reason beyond himself. We all need this reason; living for ourselves isn't enough.
