I KNEW MIN WAS THE MOST SCUMMY DIRTBAG OF ALL DIRTBAGS!! I just didn't know how much of a scummy dirtbag.

I really loved this episode! The idea of "The Unkillable" made the show even more interesting to me! I would imagine that the idea of North Korean espionage is a pretty common topic in South Korean tv and films since technically they are still at war. 

For me the introduction of Unkillable gives a somewhat believable explanation for how one defense contractor was able to pull off an operation like the crash and coverup of Flight B357. I love the show, but the idea of John & Mark having so many insanely skilled assassins and government officials was reaching an almost cartoonish level of evil. North Korean defectors trained as a shadow ops unit within the NIS creates both the motivations and the logistical grounding to who these people are.

 I am so happy Chief Gang finally gets a position of power, even if it's under the spineless Director Ahn. This episode also reframed the President and his advisors as we learn that they were corrupt long before John & Mark's blackmail.

WE FINALLY GOT A DAL-GEON HAE-RI KISS... sort of. Hae-ri was really drunk and she was acting identical to the flashback when she threw herself at Gi Ta-ung, so it didn't feel like a real kiss to me. It's crazy how invested I am in their romance because normally I wouldn't be so invested in an onscreen relationship with so much else going on. I guess their chemistry is just that good. (and like I said, it helps that I am actually in love with Suzy)
