This episode took the main couple's relationship a step backwards. Just as we were about to celebrate Dal Po and In Ha's reunion, In Ha pulls out because she feels too apologetic towards Dal Po for her mother's actions. What? I thought we just established in episode 15 that In Ha doesn't need to feel sorry because her mother's actions are not her fault. I don't expect In Ha to realize this by herself, but I thought that Dal Po would at least say something, even repeat Beom Jo's lecture word for word. What if Cha Ok never apologizes to Dal Po? Will In Ha continue to feel eternally sorry towards Dal Po then and never feel comfortable enough to be in a relationship with him? That would be ridiculous.
As for the news world, although it was interesting to see MSC and YGN struggle between covering the Winter Olympics and the fire accident, I was somewhat disappointed by the ending we were given. Viewers figured that Cha Ok and Ro Sa were directly involved in vilifying Ho Sang a long time ago. As heartbreaking as it was to see Beom Jo and In Ha react to their mothers' cruel schemes, I wish we could've seen a little more in the texts. I expected a whole batch of politicians and big businesses to be involved in this. Ro Sa is evidently working with multiple connections; I just want more of a peek into just how big and widespread her manipulative scheme is. Leaving us with the evidence that simply shows Ro Sa and Cha Ok working together 13 years ago came as a "Well no DUH" moment for me.
Moments of frustration aside, I felt that the supporting characters really brought this episode to life. Reporter Jang especially shined in this episode when he was robbed of his line by In Ha, fooled by Dal Po, and when he heroically rose to the occasion, complete with a hilariously dramatic high-five-turned-hand-lock with camerawoman Im Jae Hwan (Choo Soo Hyun). Captain Pil Mo and Yoo Rae even shared a moment that was cute, possibly even… shippable? Hey, who knows!
Highlights:
We start off with an invitation a la casa del Dal Po. Bow chicka wow wow.
Ohayyyy skinship? Bow chicka wow wow.
Aaaand the romance is ruined. Awkwardness ensues. 
Looks like Grampa Gong Pil does not appreciate the EXO music. 
Ouuuuuch that burn doe. 
"Yaaaay we're finally happy!"
"Jk, let's stop." Wait WHAT. 
Shut DOWN. 
Whoa, is that In Ha confiding in her mom?
Whoa, and is that Cha Ok actually CARING?! #icequeenismelting #hallelujah
Interesting points we're seeing about what news should be. I agree with In Ha that news should reflect what we should see, but Cha Ok makes a good point by reminding us that news stations operate more like businesses than teaching tools.
And then we have Yoo Rae making points like this.
Pil Mo be like, "I like the way you think girl." 
"Tenks Cap."
Meanwhile Dal Po owns everyone by telling Reporter Jang he has pancreatic cancer. Lol, poor Jang.
Omo.
Omo omo. 
Epic face of heartbreak, on the brink of crying:
STOP FEELING SORRY FOR THINGS THAT AREN'T YOUR FAULT GIRL. 
You and me both, Dal Po. 
And we end with Beom Jo's tears. Poor baby :(.
