Mirror of the Witch Episode 9 Reacties
Not only that but the Queen Dowager pulled a fast one! Thank goodness she isn't stupid enough to blindly follow Hong Joo to get her son back. The Queen has been burned and she knows that everything she did to have her babies was wrong. Talk about a relief! Someone should give her a high five.
Normally I don't care for it when characters who are killed off come back to life, but it is working out well here. I'm just wondering if we will get information on how Hot Monk man came back to life, who was that that carried him away when he was killed? We've got answers for our other walking dead.
Overall the writing is picking up. The holes are slowly filling in. I loved the end of this episode! I was so worried that those two would never get to see each other again. Especially since this episode they had another close call in meeting!
My prayers have been answered! Our Yeon Hui finally got her chance under the spotlight, and Man does Kim Sae Ron shine when given the chance to!!! Now show, I'm very happy but this is only the first step on the road of redemption. Distinguishing your female lead from a cactus is a good start, but I want MORE.
Now that I can contain my excitement (can I?), let's move to the real review. The first episode of the second half is a strong one offering a nice mixture of comedy, intensity, and mystery!
On the OTP side we get huge steps forward. Yeon Hui finally gets to express some of the fear and the anxiety that were suffocating her all these years... Yoon Shi Yoon, the amazing actor that he is, seamlessly alternates from Mr. Heartfelt Sympathy to Mr. Foolishly comic giving us the laughs of the episode.
In the palace, My Queen, (yes I'm calling her that from now because I can't love her enough) although still struggling to follow the very advice she gave to King SeonJo before, proves that there's more into her than the Black Witch thinks. The 'little surprise' she and the show gave us wasn't bad either ;) Anything that makes our Witch think twice is good, eh?
In short, a beautiful episode with important choices, strong attitudes, and a nice blend of comedy, lightheartedness, and intensity all culminated with the tension of the final scene. Show, if you maintain this pace and quality till the end (although I have a very bad feeling you're ending with tragedy ever since ep1, actually), I'll go sing your praise from rooftops and declare my everlasting love to you (okay on MDL really, but it's the same thing :P)!
