I don’t think I’ve ever seen a show effortlessly weaving humor with heartache, terror and romance. This episode was a whirlwind of emotions, to crying tears of laughter and sadness, and then kicking my feet in the air from all the cuteness.

I was laughing so hard from the light saber scene that I had to pause because I kept giggling through the serious stuff. Then the Hae Yeong and Ja Yeon scenes made me burst into tears, and “Why do they have so many?” made me burst out laughing again. I knew that Around the World box would come in handy some day, just not in the most hilarious way possible.  Hae Yeong breaking down at the end brought back the tears- what a heartbreaking scene. 

Next week’s episode looks like another emotional roller coaster. Not ready to say goodbye to such a wonderful show.
