very pleasantly surprised at how well this show dealt with youngjoons family trauma and dynamic!!

i was so surprised at how good this episode was, i really wasnt expecting something like this from what's wrong with secretary kimthis series has been entertaining so far, and for me, the thing thats kept me the most interested is the mystery of why the brothers memories of what happened That Day, way back in their childhood, are the way that they arethis episode fully reveals that, and it also reveals the families feelings and dynamics in SUCH a good way in my opinioni think i get underwhelmed a lot of the time when series try to do something like this, but this time, i think that what's wrong with secretary kim did it perfectly in this episode, its exactly what i didnt know i wanted out of an episode like this!they're all getting to deal with their own emotions while also communicating them to each other, and listening to each others points of views!! i think everyone is understandable in their perspective and feelings, and im not left frustrated at how things turned out at the end of this ep at all (: it was delivered so well even doe its a hard topic to deliver withi loved that they all got to cry and release their emotions, especially youngjoon, park seojoon did SOOOO well with his crying scene that i wanted to start full-on bawling with him toowhat's wrong with secretary kim isnt a series that makes the heavy topics too heavy for the viewer to understand or relate to, i actually think they present them quite lightly, but in a good way because that matches the show and its entire aura, it doesnt try to be more than the show really is, if that makes sense -- obviously the topic theyre talking about is extremely heavy, but the series is a romcom at the end of the day, and it clearly knows thati love watching the family dynamic and feelings going on between youngjoons family, they all had their reasons to do what they did, this episode makes the people in their family seem so so so human, and its extremely satisfying to watch these characters be nothing more and nothing less than thatthis feels like a real family dynamic; where an entire family was traumatized and did what they thought was best in the moment, then not talking about it out of fear of reopening old wounds, only to have it all come to light later in life and then they clearly communicate why they did what they did, and i like that they kept up with this plot without only one person being blamed at the end of the episodeso basically, i was super pleasantly surprised by this episode, definitely the most memorable episode of this series for me so far
