Since it is the 4th episode, I will say that the characters and story of the drama were pretty much established by now. I love the way each of the character's story (and backstory) unfold. For instance, we were properly introduced to Ik Jun's yeodongsaeng, Ik Sun. We saw how close they are as siblings, how similar their personalities are, and how they complement each other (Ik Jun's attempt to ride on his sister's hilarity, and you gotta love that voice!, the 'rap' battle scene, and the 'I approve of him' scene are so sweet, you will want them to be your siblings too). Ik Jun seems to be divorced by now, but instead of dwelling on it, he focused more on his son (the Dad and son eating sandwiches scene is so heartwarming, you can feel real emotions especially on Jung Suk's part. I love the dialogues; they are so authentic as if they are not acting.) You will crave some of Ik Jun's positivity and optimism to rub onto you. I know I do.😉
We are also oriented with Seok Hyung's back story, and now we better understand why he is more antisocial than ever. His traumatic experience that triggered his depression and his change of view of his mother make us want to comfort him instead of ignore him. His one-sided love for Song Hwa is so relatable for most of us, and his Mom nagging about it is so annoyingly sweet. But despite all these, as a doctor, he is at his best (you will personally disagree with him sometimes, but a deeper knowledge of his personality will help you understand why he does what he does).😌
We also see how Song Hwa is considered as the emotional pillar of the squad. She does everything she could for the sake of everyone. She's adamant in a good way and most of the times it benefits everyone who gets involved with her.🥰
As for Jeong Won, it is already established that he wants to be a priest and is thrown out by his mother upon him telling her so. We, of course, want to see how this part of the story will turn out in the upcoming episodes. Because, admit it or not, we want to know if Gyeo Eul's feelings and efforts for him will be fruitful.🥰
And lastly, as for Jun Wan, who is an 'aging bachelor' according to Ik Jun, for the first time, we have a glimpse of his soft side. He is known to be rude, but in the last scene, we saw how he drove for three hours to 'eat jajangmyeon' near Major Ik Sun's military base. Well, I know you don't buy that. I don't think Ik Sun does, too. Let's see how this potential loveteam will do in the future episodes. I am already shipping them.😍
And finally—the playlist...Canon in D. I have heard this many times in different renditions, and I will say, this is my new favorite. I laughed so hard during the scene when Song Hwa is assigned as the band vocalist (because she is such a good liar), and Seuk Hyung is smacked by Ik Jun for refusing to finish his last piece, because he just doesn't finish anything (this scene is not shown, but you will know it happened). And the performance itself is pure awesomeness. You will not believe how well they played, since they just all had to train playing their respective instruments (even Jo Jung Suk who is a classical guitarist! But of course, he still had to practice a lot!)👍
