Crying screaming crying screaming crying screaming crying...

You know, every scene between Chae Yoon and So Yi bristles with so much chemistry and so many layers. It could be their (unknown to each other) common past that shaped them to be so compatible or to understand each other so well, or it could be inborn affinity. Also, the usual physical reserve of sageuks, makes the tiniest physical gesture so immense - when So Yi touched Chae Yoon's arm (though a sleeve), I thought I'd hyperventilate. Also, they are so similar in their passionate dedication to a particular cause and their take-no-prisoners smarts and animating trauma. I've rarely seen characters who are such perfect mirrors of each other. So I wonder whether So Yi telling CY that she believes in Sejong more than herself (especially once CY will find out she's Dahm) will penetrate through CY's desire for revenge against Sejong and make him open to alternate truth (but then his revenge has been his excuse for living - what will he do if it's gone - it's a good thing he will find Dahm again, then).

So Yi discovers that Ddolbok may be alive.

She's captured by the bad guys as bait for Chae Yoon and she's so effing hardcore, it's insane. Especially the way she reacts to the threat of torture - you can tell even the psycho enforcer is freaked out.
