Thematic lines: Hera, The Goddess of Revenge (Episode 9)

Nearing the half of the narrative, we know by now that the series is putting more highlight on Su-ho and Ju kyung. Seo-jun’s interactions with Ju kyung are still brief and full of bickering. However, in this episode we are sold by Seo-jun, all because of his exposed underwear scene. Sorry but that scene did it all…
This episode showed us the tensions we have predicted in the previous episodes between Su-ho and Seo-jun. Two boys fighting over one girl is a cliché in romantic dramas, but for some reason innate in us, it is always fun to watch…

No secret remains hidden forever. Ju kyung’s secret is finally out, at least between her and Su-ho and Su-ho for his part exploited this leverage. We have witnessed how Ju kyung begged Su-ho in the football field, kneeling down, for her secret to be kept hidden…
Choices. The lines mouthed by Kang Hera during her visit with Jeong Woo exemplifies this idea. In the previous episode Kang Hera declined to take the case of Jeong Woo. But in this episode she took it after seeing the gravity of what the loan sharks can do to Jeong Woo and to other victims of Mr. Choi…
The struggle of Kang Hera and Song Seung Woo in episode 4 continued in this episode of which the latter’s hold to power is finally put to rest. The livestream that Kang Hera made during the assault became the tool in unmasking Song Seung Woo…
Control – That is what this episode is about. We have seen some of the strings that are pulled to instigate control. Kim Tae On, as shown in the pictures with the statements that she made in that scene perfectly reflects how she can control Hoon Seok…
