Aside from that kiss, and that’s a big aside, ep 11-12 were chock full of such good character beats. I’m so glad that Heo Im has finally seen that his greed is leading his down a dangerous path and actively decides to turn his back on all that. As worried as I am about what this means for the future I’m content for how thing stand now.

Things I loved about these 2 episodes:
> Heo Im and Yeon Kyung dressing up as a married couple with those kids in Joseon. That meadow scene was so beautifully done that I can easily see them getting married and living their lives out there in Joseon. Of course but the peace never lasts.
>That editing of that ending cliffhanger in Ep11 is done so beautifully that for a few beats it looks like the time travelling needles didn’t work and Heo Im might actually die. was genuinly scared that the needles had stopped working and this brings to forefront the question of how long the needles can actually keep working for each time travellor
>Heo Im wanting to die to get to Yeon Kyung when he realizes she was left behind. The frantic way he searches for a way to get back to her and the way he desperatly looks for her when he does get back.
>That whole exchange between them once they find each other again was so intimate and honestly calls to mind a married couple.
>The way this whole dire situation gets turned on its head and becomes hilarious once they reach the hospital and Heo Im just loses his cool and the way Yeon Kyung just keeps trying to shush him! LOL!!
