what's amazing about this show so far is that every episode had its 'iconic' moments. i've replayed certain scenes in episodes 1-4 more times than i'd like to admit, but episode 5 takes a step back, settles in the comfort zone of tried-and-true rom-com tropes and meanders a bit. it's safe to say i won't be rewatching this episode.
the biggest problem with ep 5 is that the teasers released ahead of the airing more or less summed up the entire episode, and watching the entire length felt like an over-elaboration of things we (1) already know, (2) can infer, or (3) aren't particularly interested in. i'd go on to say that the preview of ep 5 provided to us at the end of ep 4 suggested a much more interesting storyline than the one we got. [my interpretation of the ep 5 preview: sa-eon receives a phone call to him revealing that 406 is female, and it clicks that hee-jo is likely the culprit. just as the epiphany hits, the truck of doom charges towards him; heejo cries out his name, and he turns to her in shock. truck hits/doesn't hit, episode ends.] instead, all of these moments are individualized, abruptly resolved, and not utilized to keep piling up the stakes as has been done very well in ep 1-4.
some moments i felt like were missed opportunities:
1. heejo getting caught likely talking on the phone: resolved with saving her from a fall and sa-eon deciding to let her confess in her own time. it would have been nice to show sa-eon's nagging suspicions that heejo could be 406 at this point and let that tension/fear build, then culminate in the revelation that 406 is female.
2. sa-eon's assistant confirming 406's demographic: it's shrugged off with a low-voltage drunk scene. i contend that juxtaposing this bit with the truck, as was presented in the end-of-episode preview would have been a better match for the show's prior intensity.
i understand the need for a slower-paced episode to give everyone a breather, but such episodes are usually utilized to lay down the groundwork or further develop character dynamics, none of which i felt were accomplished in this episode. other than the sign language lesson, which was adequately covered in the ahead-of-release teaser, and the truck scene, nothing much happened at all. i'm also not the biggest fan of the good old clothes-buying segment, or the extremely cheesy "fall to the ground in a kiss" trope bruh in all likelihood THAT's not gonna end in a soft demure kiss it's going to break a lip and dent your teeth.
in conclusion, definitely my least favorite episode so far.
