This drama is one of the best I have ever seen. Structurally, this drama gives you so much time to fall in love with the characters and for the characters to fall in love with each other. I found that this allowed the relationships between all the characters much more real and natural.
This episode, again was full of emotion, but thankfully near the end we get to see our beloved pairing get some of their former selves back. Before this happens though, you have to wade through sadness and your building frustration at the elders involved.
