On the way to the airport - Episode 7 and 8 Review

Hi and welcome back! :) Did you know that this is actually a show about affairs packaged in a romantic slant? 😱

Haha alright, no judgement! Let's get on to this drama~
Let me start off with my thoughts on the actors. Seeing Shin Sung Rok in this show is really interesting, usually he acts as a very stern and robotic guy, which definitely came through especially in scenes at the airport. However, seeing his relaxed state in scenes outside the airport which were plenty in these two episodes was a nice change and great to watch. After all his symmetrical face does make him look too perfect and stern, hence the evil guy roles. Here though, it was wonderful to see more expressions every now and then, yeah! :)
I really like the drastic contrast between Soo Ah and Hye Won. Innocent v.s. Complicated... The characters in this show generally have a specific role/personality which I feel are awesome. It is very easy to identify them haha.
Also, Min Ji starts to have more lines these few episodes, which is fabulous. Love her character, so real and fun. Wouldn't mind having a friend like her hahaha wait... except that she didn't stop Soo Ah from marrying a playboy hmm.

Moving on, to do a little analysis between Soo Ah and Doh Woo's affair. There is no denying it, they had a bond from Annie's incident. With the recent Ms Go's incident, there is an even stronger bond now. I can't help but wonder whether their relationship is built upon wanting to escape from reality. It feels as if they have created a safe ground when they are together. After all, they are both bombarded by many other issues that are stressing them out. Though, sigh, why do I feel like Soo Ah is the only party losing out from this relationship? ): It is so sad. Like an alternate life that is so perfect, yet intertwined in real life and not that picture perfect.

But then again, Hye Won is the definition of obviously not living a perfect life. Behaving in such a screwed up manner, this interesting character brings lots of different perspective into the show, adding on a different kind of tension.

Looking forward to the next episode when apparently Hye Won will tell us everything?! Haha I doubt so... though let's just hold it out and see what happens.
