COMMENTS
This episode was pretty slow and kind of putting me to sleep a bit. Nothing to do with the acting, mostly just how slow the storyline was today. It was literally just On Dal and Pyung-gang in the village for the majority of it. Though, normally I would be fine with that so I’m not sure what the hiccup is. Perhaps the music? Not sure. Hopefully it picks up a bit in the next episode.
