One of the Most Beautiful Episodes in Asian Drama History; Deserves a Better Rating (Spoilers!!!!)

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.
