I've been waiting for more analysis from you for the episode 2. Thank you for this!

While reading this entry, I realized that one of the shots (long shot with Jeong-won facing the camera and his friends are around him) makes us feel like we're the 6th friend that he is sharing the news to. We're the 6th friend seated in front of Jeong-won in that scene.

This supports your insight that we're just like Song-hwa and Ik-Jun who have seen and observed Gyeo-ul and JW, and we're just as happy as them.

Like you, I'm also glad that Seok-Hyeong closed the door on Sinhye. I'm rooting for Min-Ha, too, as she is able to slowly peel the layers of Seok-Hyeong. It's slow like a slug but she is able to do it. Min-Ha is able to connect to Seok-Hyeong not just as a doctor/colleague but also as a human being.

Seok-Hyeong has come a long way from Season 1's early episodes when he made an excuse that he has to check an MRI result (leaving Min-Ha, Gyeo-ul and other staff) to being able to have noodles with Min-Ha. That's character development.

I still think about Ik-Jun losing his patience to the liver recipient. That gave Ik-Jun more character depth.

I love how they dont make the romance central to the drama. There isn't a need to. Life is a myriad of things. If romance happen to be a part of your life, good on you! But if it isn't it's not the end of the world. There is so much to each life, isn't it?

But, going back to the point about Ikjun being there from the start of Winter Garden, that is why he is the permanent president of the Winter Garden nation. He helped these 2 babies the whole way, from the famous 'she's not my cup of tea' to 'God will understand' :) he looked like a proud father in that scene when Jeongwon broke the dating news!
