75% of the time I spent watching this episode, I couldn't help but think of it as one of those sculptures that are made from all different kinds of recycled materials. It felt as if the writer randomly chose different plots from different drama genres and decided to glue them together into one script, resulting in one entire mess. A good mess though. The show went from funny, to heartbreaking, to soap-y, and then to downright goofy —I sometimes asked myself what the heck I was watching— but I couldn't help but enjoy it. It really has that sticky factor that keeps your eyes glued to the screen for the entire hour. Plus, the two main characters are likeable and easy to root for. I find the male lead quite refreshing in his category, too. To summarise my whole review in shorter words... I cannot wait for the next episode's mess to air!

This episode started out slow, but picked up its pace as it progressed —A LOT of things happened, actually. And yet, I didn't feel as captivated as in the first episode. I think that the reason for this is the mistake that many k-dramas make —they concentrate too much in the romance rather than in developing their two main leads into three-dimensional characters. Last time, Sa Ra showed a promising possibility for character growth, and the male lead showed potential to be a refreshing, 4-D character. But in this episode I saw none, therefore, it felt quite monotonous. We still have eighteen episodes left before judging whether there was any character growth, though. The actors portray their roles very well, and the plot seems to promise a fast-paced drama, so I'm still looking forward for the next episode.
P.S. I'm enjoying the OST, so props for that.
