Now, I still don't think that these web series are particularly amazing, still unsure between 6/10 and 7/10. However, this episode is particularly strong in a number of ways.
First, the dialogue is actually better than the average level for the series, particularly when Lady Maeda and Tae-Sang are discussing betrayal and why people do it.
Also, the scene when Chae-Ok killed Director Ichiro was very well shot (pun intended) and really dramatic, with an appropriate music and her inner thoughts.
Still, it was not without issues, particularly how Ishikawa was dying for hours, and even had to be poisoned, even though his carrotid artery was severed and he was bleeding constantly. That made it very cheap, as everyone knows a person would die in a matter of minutes, not hours.
Also, some really stupid dialogue between the rebels and Tae-Sang..
However, the powerful scene between him and Lady Maeda, and then with Mrs Nawol, who is one of my favourite characters, was quite enough to make it a very solid episode, and I was actually really afraid that they will kill off Chae-Ok.
The monster part was against contrary to any previous logic - why would they not keep it asleep, when they know that even metal bars cannot hold it for long? How did it simply break through the floor?
To be fair,this series is better for its depiction of the horrible treatment of occupied Korea and it's citizens by Japan, rather than it's dialogue or monster/horror elements, but when they are at a decent level as well, the series as a whole look pretty good.
