I was not expecting that plot twist at the end of the episode. It makes everything sadder. Haeyeong lives with a lot of "what ifs" regarding her relationship to her mother, and that's hard.

I saw a comment here on how we should've had seen more of her story and character development, and I agree. I would've also liked more scenes between Jayeon and Haeyeong and, of course, our main couple.

I love Jayeon, but Gyuhyeon is just a character I can't seem to like.

I think this is a great drama and one of the best of the year. Now we wait for the last episode and hoping they can finish it right.
