I would surely judge my friend's partner on things that ensure he/she won't cheat or make things toxic for my friend. But let's spare their, lifestyle choices (hair, dress, speaking style, etc) and their occupation out of the talking points. All that matters is your friend's happiness.

And in Hye Jin's case, she has an extremely supportive BFF by her side, these extra bunch of friends (from college, city, office etc.) don't deserve to be pleased. Why would you force your awesome partner to act in certain way in front of the people whom you are meeting once in a blue moon?!

Yumi was surely doing the same but she preparing her friends was quite smart and better way, even though it was an emergency aid, "He is really busy, doesn't love fashion much... so yeah..."

I noticed that there were a few times during this episode where it appeared that Yohan was in service to Gaon. If you came into this episode unaware of their dynamic and the foundations of their relationship, these scenes would have you thinking that Gaon was in charge or the one who was more dominant in their relationship.

And I find it very interesting that they decided to play their scenes this way and to have these scenes in the first place.

Gaon sitting in Yohan’s chair is such a power move. This is him challenging authority, something he’s been doing quite frequently as of late. Especially with Yohan. But to sit in his chair?! Now that’s some big boss energy right there! Plus Yohan serving him tea? Excuse me? What timeline is this? Yohan doesn’t do anything for anyone but himself yet here he is doing something as small as serving him tea. Yeah there’s definitely been and going to be a huge shift in their relationship!

Lastly, Yohan picking Gaon up after he finished his conversation with his mentor is insane. It’s like he was waiting in the wings, waiting for the call, waiting for the moment for when Gaon would need him. This is huge because when has anyone ever needed Yohan (other than Elijah). It’s like Yohan was his chauffeur. 

All I know is that with these small changes and minor switches in their roles, we might see this more often. Gaon might take a more dominant role in their relationship and their plans for the future. Or they’ll become equals, which is honestly what I want more than anything.
