Ha Neul is so relatable in this episode. I'm pretty sure that her slump is the most relatable to the viewers especially to all workers in general or are currently building their own careers. I like how slump got defined at the early part of this episode which stresses out more the definition of what's really happening to Ha Neul and Jeong Woo. Ha Neul is at that stage of building up her career through the conventional process while Jeong Woo went the other way around. But just like what Ha Neul said in the definition of a slump, whenever and whoever it may be, slump is inevitable.
I really pity Ha Neul, I really understand how she wanted to endure everything because she didn't want to disappoint her mother/family. Judging by how the mother acted in their restaurant early in that episode, I already knew the pressure that Ha Neul experienced throughout her life. Imagine being stressed out and pressured at work and that same feeling are the ones you'll also experience at home.... ain't that something exhausting? She worked like a dog the whole day, swallowing her pride, over thinking about what her family and other people might say if she ever gives up or slow down... no wonder she became depressed in that toxic situation. Her feeling of having no choice but to keep going or working to become successful really is tiring. She said it herself when she was talking with Jeong Woo that, she's the type of person that puts her own happiness to the last. She was used to enduring everything that comes her way and just settle with everything less because she's thinking that all will be well in the end considering that she'll get some reward which is 'success/happiness'. This mindset is absolutely putting yourself in a path of depression. I can really relate to this kind of mindset and situation which is why I do understand Ha Neul the most. Anyways, I'm happy that her mom was able to understand her also in the end.
Now let's talk about Jeong Woo. That guy is indeed a childish one, he is aware of it and so is Ha Neul. That scene where they were drinking and comforting each other, Ha Neul said that Jeong Woo is childish but he's not the kind of person that would do something bad (not exactly her words, but I know you get it). That scene actually made my heart skip a beat for Jeong Woo and I'm pretty sure that he felt it too. I mean, he thought throughout his life that they're enemies/rivals but despite having this kind of competition in his mind, Ha Neul actually sees through him. Ha Neul has always been that wary of time but she actually took a few moments to observe the type of person Jeong Woo is, isn't that heart warming?! Waaah! And lastly that last scene, Jeong Woo had been keeping a funny and strong facade about anything despite being at the rock bottom of his life but he finally cried along with Ha Neul. He then kept saying that he's been holding back his emotions for so long but he let it go when he saw Ha Neul crying. He probably felt safe and appropriate to express himself as well especially when Ha Neul finally shows her soft side. Oh gosh, these two are just perfect for each other! I love them already!!
