I’m so glad I did a rewatch before starting this season. The show jumps decades at times and I’m afraid I would have been lost had I not.

Ugh. I was afraid I’d need to do a rewatch.

So happy this show is back!

Sunja was rightfully creeped out that Hansu basically paid Mr. Kim to spy on her and the family all these years. And he has the audacity to be upset that she loves her husband and doesn’t want to leave him to rot in jail to accept Hatsu’s “protection” (i.e. be his side piece)?!

I’m still 90 percent sure he sold out Isak to cops. 

The scene with Solomon and Sunja at the store was painful. The baker was an asshole.

It's interesting that Sunja believes Isak is still in the city somewhere and that she will see him again, which seems doubtful.  I hope we will see him again though, Isak is so gorgeous, blows Hansu out of the water one thousand times over, which no doubt reinforces his jealousy.  Did Mr. Kim actually do anything to help the family other than being a friendly kimchi customer?

He did report back when Sunja was arrested. 
I don’t think he was supposed to get any more involved than to just keep an eye on her. 
I intended to watch the last episode from last season before watching this but mistakenly turned this one on. I didn’t have any trouble remembering what was going on. Love it!
