Honestly, nuff said. Gang Tae's smile at the end changed my whole life. I've lived a good life, it can now end whenever.(Note to self, and whoever is reading: If you ever feel trapped in life, don't forget Gang Tae's smile. That look of utter joy and freedom. This was the first time I really saw it, this was a huge development for his character. Don't give up on being happy in life. You too can look like that if you free yourself from the chains you place on yourself. Don't wait for someone else to do it. Break your own leash.)

This drama will go down as one of the best in history, it'll be considered a classic in years to come, I just know it. Just a beautiful episode. The ending of this episode...it made me realize that there is beauty in chaos, in being flawed. It hit me hard like a brick. To say vaguely, there was nothing but chaos but it was incredibly beautiful. I honestly had not been paying attention to the title of this drama, I had forgotten once I started watching. Now that I've come to leave this review, I realized how perfect it was.Our female lead is such a beautiful soul, her perspective is so beautiful and I can already tell that I will grow a lot after having watched this. I knew it would be deep but never expected the hidden beauty that these characters possess. Keep an open mind as you watch this show. Be moved by the characters and let the story change how you see your own life. Find beauty in your flaws, and learn to embrace them.

Warning - Spoilers Below!!!This was one of the best episodes I've seen in all my years of watching Asian dramas. I can't believe this episode was rated lower than others. It was a truly a beautiful and touching episode. We got to see Se Gye's heart through that child and she was able to do something beautiful for someone. It goes with the theme of how someone is more than their looks. You can see how touched Do Jae is in that park scene because Se Gye gave that mother some peace. She was in the body of a child, but her heart was the same and that was what mattered. That's exactly what this show is about and the message it wants to tell us. This episode was everything this show stood for all in one. It really showed a lot of themes and a lot about human nature without saying it out loud (for example, just showing how Kang Sa Ra keeps her feelings bottled up and how Eun Ho silently picks up on people's struggles and cares for them, even though he struggles silently himself. The show doesn't completely spell it out but shows it beautifully.) This episode was so thoughtful. But the minute an episode isn't super upbeat, romantic and isn't basic like every other kdrama, it gets lower ratings. Whoever rated it bad is simpleminded and needs to get their head out of where it's shoved. If you want something like every other drama that gives you constant fanservice and comedy then watch something else. Just because you're too closed and single-minded to see the unspoken messages doesn't mean the episode is boring or bad. It was super well-written and deserves a much better rating.On a side note, gotta give credit to Moon Woo Jin (the child actor). I recommenced anyone to watch the work he's involved in. His acting in "What's Wrong With Secretary Kim" was next level and had me in tears. Never seen a child actor of any nationality capture such depth and raw human emotion like he does. Can't wait to see more work from him.
