The Episode Review
The show has been interesting but seems rather slow for a Ji Chang-wook K-drama. He is known for his intense roles and seeing him play a calm and vulnerable Gyeo-re is certainly unique. I wish the romantic angle between Gyeo-re and Yeon-joo starts progressing soon and this episode gave us cute moments between the two.
In this episode, Seo-jin is a badass young girl who wants to avenge her boyfriend’s accident but it was so jarring watching her break down as she traumatized the little girl. It’s great that Hyung-joon is safe and that we did not actually have any death in this episode.
I think that Tae-sik has a connection with the gang Gyeo-re took money from and now that Joon-kyung is free from prison, we may finally get the intense Chang-wook back as Gyeo-re. It is not quite possible that Gyeo-re is Tae-sik’s son but it does seem like the patient in Room 403 is somehow related to Gyeo-re.
