Ok don’t get me wrong, I love domestic, post-TDA Blackstairs (I adore them all in all) but you have to admit their angst in TDA is absolutely unmatched
As frustrating as it was to watch haein be manipulated by that clown once again, it's still refreshing that this drama reminds us that these communication issues don't just go away. And haein not telling hyunwoo then and there was reasonable since she was shocked and what she hates doing is hurting him and it's been reiterated that she approaches situations wrong in an effort to protect her ppl at her own expense. Obviously she still has a lot to learn in this regard (so come on drama she needs to live and grow thank you).
It's also clear that in that moment she wanted to use the clown too, to get back into the house and see her grandfather which is smart thinking on her part, I just wish she'd be a little more stern with the clown because it seems like she just lets him ramble on and honestly cuts him too much slack by giving him her time of day when she should just be like okay next, are you done? Because after all the bad things he's done, he really just doesn't deserve that meal with her but eh I'd like to think haein was just doing what he wanted to get to see her grandfather.
Also there's potential the clown was somehow involved in her brother's death or witnessed it because now we know hyunwoo saved her so the fact that the clown is pointing out that he saved her suggests something so great another mystery that I have no idea whether they will unravel.
Anyway the ep was frustrating cuz there was too much clown time but I still think it deals with hyunwoo and haein's relationship well, these issues aren't resolved over night or just because they love each other, they need to keep at and eventually they'll get there, I just hope the drama gives haein the time she deserves.
remember when some people in this fandom used sakura mentioning a rumour about sasuke liking women with long hair as proof that sasuke likes women… sasuke, who was objectified and idealised ever since he was a kid, sasuke who is sexualised by multiple people in the manga… somehow a rumour about him liking some type of women is better explained by him admitting that in canon than by the behaviour of people around him. ok.
