Oh my God.

This was beyond perfect. Crying right now, you guys. If I had to wait a week to find out what happened afterwards, I'd have a coronary.

He's come home after a presentation and the stress is about to make him another one of his fainting episodes (honestly, just let the guy have a stress-free life compatible with his handicap. This cannot be good for him in the long-term. Momster, don't you care your kid has fits? Well, you don't care he's deaf and are making him fake it, so I suppose not). woori come in, mad and looking for her father, and then this happens:

His barriers have been worn down by his state and this just kills me, kills me, kills me. And when he tells her he can hear her and keeps repeating it? Oh Holy God OMG.

This ep was, in a lot of ways, about his limits and his coping with them - the scene in the dark, of which he's terrified (because he can't hear so he can't substitute his ears for his eyes) is just one such example.

Honestly, I've rarely seen a drama character who needs his OTP the way Dong Joo needs Woori. She's not just his possibility of happiness, but quite likely his hold on sanity.
