7/10 - Decent woman friendships!

Soo Ah so far has been the beautiful snake in the grass working against the lead. This episode also highlights it after using someone to try and track down Mi Rae's pictures and finding none she befriends someone from her old Middle School. Of course it's the jerk who Mi Rae confessed to and in my mind started the true bullying. The one that reveled in calling her "Hulk" and "Gross". So far we know Soo Ah lives in a poor area and lied about where she lived. So I still believe that there is more to Soo Ah.

Because this episode hints at more. From the support and friendships the girls in the Chemistry Department are forming. To Hyun Jung coming to Mi Rae's defense. Coming face to face with the bully and standing up for Mi Rae. She's still even going with her gut about Soo Ah and making sure Mi Rae thinks about it. Then the girls start rallying and standing up for themselves!! Letting those jerks know what's what!

Hye Seong is also very well realized. From her response to Mi Rae about her surgery and saving her I have know doubts that this might be a flawed woman, but the stereotype that her husband projects about her might very well be the surface. Stating that her beauty seemed like a gift. Until it turned into a different kind of prison. The theme becoming more fleshed out. Her advice is so important. To date a lot and to be very thoughtful before marrying. Which is the opposite advise that women have been told. Because if you mention a seemingly "high" number of men you dated it's so judgmental.

You know what? I thought Hyun Jung was being setup to a fall for a second lead, Woo Young, that only likes Mi Rae. Hyun Jung and Woo Young have great chemistry! Not to mention I genuinely think they would be great together. I have faith that the writer will skip Hyun Jung and Mi Rae's friendship breaking up over Woo Young, but instead let Hyun Jung and Woo Young become a couple. They're clearly becoming friends!

Speaking of friends. Kyung Suk and Mi Rae are clearly becoming great friends. That whole shirt changing thing proves that Kyung Suk knows how Mi Rae thinks! I love the conversations these two have together!
