Five Stars

In this episode, Oh Jung Se completely stole the show. His acting was on par with Dustin Hoffman's portrayal of Raymond Babbitt in the movie Rainman.

I'm in love with the dynamic between Sang Tae, Gang Tae, & Moon Young, and I appreciate every time Moon Young refers to Sang Tae as Oppa.

Oh Jung Se & Seo Ye Ji chemistry is equally as good as when she acts opposite Kim Soo Hyun, sometimes, I might even say, it's better! On top of that, Oh Jung Se & Kim Soo Hyun's sibling relationship is no joke either. The really did pick the best actors to portray these characters and work together!

I admit that that's quite the twist, but…

I admit that that's quite the twist, but I'm not wholly convinced. So you're telling me this woman was pushed over a railing and fell one story, cracked her head open and bled out, was dragged to the basement where she stayed overnight and bled some more, then was packed into a zippered-shut suitcase and dropped into a lake, and she still managed to survive? Furthermore, she managed to get out, get medical attention, get enough money for plastic surgery without her husband noticing, get a nurse's certification, and then act like a "normal," non-psychotic person for 20 years (or however long), despite all the staff and patients who surely got on her nerves? She's the kind of person to ruthlessly kill anyone who gets under her skin, but there haven't been any mysterious deaths at this facility?? Also, given how aloof and haughty she was, it's highly unlikely she would have been able to fit in and have a normal rapport with all the staff like she did. Plus, even if she got plastic surgery, she has a completely different facial and bone structure and body type than before. And for the father whose suicide she aided (the one Mun Yeong tried to stab except Gang Tae stopped the knife with his hand), wasn't that in a completely different facility, one back in Seoul? At the end, I hope someone was smart enough amongst all those idiots to call the cops, but probably not since this isn't that kind of show lol

The nurse was the mother?

Honestly I tried to think of different ways of how the mother survived that fall when her head was bleeding so much and even at the basement. I don’t know if any living person can survive after bleeding that much blood. Honestly, the body was left at the basement for awhile so the wife must’ve found a double body or something

Hmm...

So the nurse is really her mother? This needs a serious explaining, why her mother acted like that and even had plastic surgery and lingered in this hospital and what she wants from Moon Young. I hope they won’t just brush it as “she is psycho and that’s all. Overall the whole mystery plot around the mother was not that exciting but more annoying to me. Because, I don’t care. Let’s see how it ends, if I care at the end or still not :D

More Tears

I think I cried throughout this whole episode. The beginnings the peaked at the corner of my eyes, the the tears flowed, then there was boohooing, then happy tears, then ginally the frightening tears. I can't wait another week to find out what happens next. This is torture!!!

all the tears

The moment you think you can't possibly have any tears left to shed, the flow gates open. This episode was AMAZING. I cannot wait for the finale but at the same time I don't want this beautiful drama to ever end. This episode - empathy galore.

Episode 14 - The Hand, The Monkfish (spoilers included)

It's been 12 hours since I watched this episode, which struck me with emotions I wasn't quite prepared for. The direction / writing / acting are equally brilliant throughout but episode 14 hit a raw nerve that I can't quite calm back into normalcy. This is a fallout episode for Moon Young who grapples with the revelation that her mother killed Sang Tae and Kang Tae's mom. Sang Tae, trying to get her to feel better, becomes the older brother she never had. As he and feeds her porridge, she cries and I've never felt more sorry for a character in my life. Kang Tae is also trying to protect her from his feelings but his character growth will no longer allow him the privilege of hiding. He reluctantly tells her how he feels and the emotion poured into the scenes by these actors is beyond description. Praising words are simply not enough to do the brilliancy of this episode justice. "The Hand, The Monkfish" was penned by Moon Young and was the favorite story of her mother's. In the mother's voice, an account is given of a child, adored and pampered, that is discarded and thrown into the sea because she could not measure up to the mom's expectation. From this book, we now understand Moon Young's life as a little girl and by this point of the story, I had tears streaming down. During all the comments, a recurring theme from viewers (such as myself) is that this drama strikes a chord with most watching. Six years ago, my autistic son had begun talking with one word at a time. A time of elation in the house to hear his voice that was soon followed by his father walking out. My son's first sentence was to his father's back and the last time he ever saw him, "daddy, don't leave me". To listen to "The Hand, The Monkfish" was torture. My son is happy, well adjusted, outgoing and he has not carried the scar of rejection like Moon Young has. A healing revelation of sorts for me that I'm doing well as a parent and a reminder that it's truly okay to not be okay at times.
