My Thoughts On While You Were Sleeping Episodes 5-6

The power to see the future now spreads. But that's not the only thing this episode focuses. It also shows quite a bit about what people would do even if they didn't have the "Seed of Agito". Some interesting personalities are shown and some people clash from within.

Hong Joo and Soo Yoon show their contrasts. Okay, a bit of comedy was good but there's the tragedy there. Everyone was trying to stop the possible frame-up of Seong-Won. We learn exactly who Soo Yoon wants to take the law into her hands. Her father gets so much immunity from an institution that claims to fight for human rights but only ends up protecting the highest bidder. This also reveals some of the crookedness of some lawyers who value money above law.

We see a little bit more of Jae Chan's past because of a conversation he had about Soo Yoon's father. He's a delinquent as evidenced by the dyed hair. Now, it's time to see where this gift or curse of foresight may come from. Jae Chan's dad somehow foresaw his death and saved Jae Chan in the process. Both Jae Chan and Hong Joo lost their fathers to the same wayward Korean soldier. I can't help but think about how acts of heroism can easily be viewed as foolhardy stupidity and vice versa. At the same time, I think about how stupid the law firm can be. Would you rather let an abusive husband get away because he provides for the family? He should be arrested because he's a danger to society!

We meet the person who could have been dead namely Woo Tak. So Woo Tak turns out to also have what I love to unofficially call an "Agito seed". Yes, certain events change but there can be drastic consequences. We see the big douche Yoo BUM enter into the store and bums everyone. Yup, it's that annoying corrupt lawyer who values money over protecting human rights. He barges in and this causes some big scene.

Yup, Yoo BUM bums everyone with his presence. He's a corrupt lawyer that's why he doesn't want to further investigate the case of Soo Yoon's father. This is really an air of tension one way or another. His fame and success is one thing. Deep within, he's actually a dirty sleazy guy who pretends to be a good man. I can't wait for the next episode because it's building up in such a good way!
