Best One So Far.

I don't usually give the maximum rating when I watch something, but this episode deserved it. This drama is getting better every week, and I am very glad.

As usual, my review contains SPOILERS.

This episode started with the continuation of the first kiss of Jae Wan and Mo Ne. It's so tender yet so angsty because of the truth he has just found. He looks like a scared child when MN asks him if something happened, and he just hugs her. This man is unable to express his feelings and it must be very hard to find out that he is the son of the man he loathes.

About that, it is highly possible he isn't the VP's son either. I thought Manager Baek could have found the recording and USB key in the boat before JW and edited the message Chairman Ah left to have him tamed and focused on the hotel again. The landlord of the place where MN and JW spend those two days of happiness may know who JW real mother is. My idea is that she surely worked at CIEL, probably entangled in a sort of triangle/supposed triangle with Chairman Ah and the VP. And the VP has the proestetic leg because of an accident where JW's mother was probably involved. He might not know that JW is his son... if he is his son. It could be another plot twist like the one on ep 1 about Jae Wan and Mo Ne being brother and sister.

Getting back to the main couple of this drama, this episode was full of Mo Ne/Jae Wan moments. Poor general manager needed a break. He was overworked and the new revelations tired him even more. But he still won't let Mo Ne take care of him... he has a long way to go in this regard. He doesn't think he is worthy of her love. He subtly says so in one of the later scenes where he takes his shirt off to show the woman he loves the scars of his abused past. This was a step ahead, but not enough. He has to understand Mo Ne loves him for the person he is, and this includes his past.

Speaking of this, I wonder how she will behave when Jae Wan's past including what he tried to do to the dead chairman, will resurface. On her part, Mo Ne also has to grow up. She is still pure, innocent, and lives life without any worries. It made me laugh when she talked to JW about what they could do if they lived together. That there's nothing he can't do while her only quality is being funny. This is partially true because MN is enjoyable as a person, but she also is very concerned and maternal. Probably the reason why Jae Wan fell in love with her, is because she gives him that sense of protection a mother has never given him. Mo Ne makes him feel safe, in a dream world with no worries, but he is a fatalist/realist so his girl's affection is still not enough to change his heart and destroy the guilt he feels. In a way I feel Mo Ne also feel in love with him because he is a man who can offer people more than meets the eye. He looks cold, but he is kind and cute and is able to shower his woman with simple but enormous gestures of affection. The way he pats her head or kissed her forehead during this ep, for eg. It was the cutest thing. Thankfully when you have a couple with great chemistry on a drama like LDW/LDH, you don't need kisses to demonstrate your love.

Man, I need more moments like this in the future. Jae Wan and Mo Ne playing house indirectly and her various proposals to live together and the proposal to get married - which she genuinely meant - had me gushing the whole time. I hope with my whole heart, that these and JW/MN playing with that kid few episodes back, were hints of what we will get in the end. A marriage and a child. I would LOVE to see MN getting pregnant before the end because I'd love to see how JW will act if the question about his paternity still hurts him so much. Men with father complex tend to be afraid to become father themselves, thinking that their child may turn out like them. It would be a nice road to explore to close the drama with a bang.

I talk about Mo Ne and Jae Wan too much... I'm sorry. XD But I love them! And it saddens me that he acts coldly towards her at the end of the episode, but I totally get it. He wants to protect her, but he can't do it personally so he asked WH and SA to do it. This being said, since Mo Ne doesn't know this, I hope there will be a scene where JW gets uberjealous. Would he be able to mantain his cold attitude? XD Also, gimme more angst. I beg you. lol.

Last thing I wanted to say was about Woo Hyun. Could he be adopted too? I've read theories of people who believe he is Jae Wan's hyung when he was in NYC... after all, the man he calls father doesn't look like it's his relative, or perhaps because of the death of his noona, WH refused to refer to him as father. IDK, but it seems that man has great power. I wouldn't count out that he could be Jae Wan's real father.
