The best episode in the series, no! But the best episode of this year, in Korea?, no! In all over the world.

The best episode in the series, no! But the best episode of this year, in Korea?, no! In all over the world. Quentin Tarantino will be happy with this episode in particular. The scene of walking in the rain, which I think is the most dramatic scene this year. As usual in all my reviews of episodes of the series, I praised Seo Ye Ji and Kim Soo Hyun a lot in this review, not because the rest are bad. On the contrary, they are the best side characters, but both Seo Ye Ji and Kim Soo Hyun steal the lights from anyone else on the screen, especially when Together, you can almost believe that what is happening on the screen is true.

Finding Comfort In Each Other

Warning: Spoilers
We see that the mentally ill man has caused people to go against his father continuing his campaign after hearing his dad beat him and neglected him.

At the scene of the campaign the mentally ill man gets slapped by his mother and this triggers Gang-tae's memory. He remembers being less attended to by his mother - she hits him for not protecting his autistic brother. She tells Gang-tae she had him so he could look after his older brother.

Gang-tae and the author go together in the same car. The author has white nails. Gang-tae gets angry when the author brings up useless kids are ignored by their parents.

They eat at a convenience store and the author measures his broad shoulders with her fingers.

At the hospital the father in politics has stormed in declaring the author, Gang-tae and director should apologize. Gang-tae asks if children have to be useful to their parents. The father gets angry and says of course. Gang-tae says then they shouldn't have had that child. He slaps Gang-tae and leaves.

The director smiles at the camera that films the scene. The director is thinking of blackmailing using the video.

The author comes back to the hospital wearing a long white lace dress with a slit and side braid. The autistic brother is excited when he realizes it is her. He draws a caricature of her.

The author's father chokes her and after this she walks sadly alone on the streets. Gang-tae sees her as he is on the bus.

Camera is in Gang-tae's locker and we see his rack of clothes. He is ready to leave the locker room.

Gang-tae goes home and hand washes his brother's stuffed dino.

He reads the Zombie Kid book. It tells of a boy who is hidden away by his mother. His mother steals various animals everyday for him to eat. There is an epidemic that kills all the animals and some people. The people have moved. His mother cuts off each of her limbs each day for him to eat. Her torso is the only thing left and they hug for the last time. At last the boy speaks for the first time. Gang-tae cries and this scene is very emotional. He cries as he had a painful feeling of neglect throughout his childhood and even as an adult he is alone.

Gang-tae is surprised to learn that her father choked her and connects this back to her walking alone sadly. He realizes his previous words are hurtful. His friend comes home and Gang-tae asks to use his motorcycle.

Last scene is BEAUTIFUL!!! Perfect! She is walking bare foot and holding her beige heels. The pouring rain has soaked through her white clothes and she is wearing a black bra and black shorts underneath. Gang-tae stops his motorcycle and they hug as a red lighthouse shines in the dark.
