The Reunion We’ve Been Waiting For

Finally, the reunion between Kim and his daughter, Min-ji, felt satisfying. Their relationship has been the best of the series as we’ve finally seen those two look at each other after all the hurdles.

Rather than relying on melodrama, the series allows the viewers to feel their interactions without big dialogues. Every dialogue was simple, and all we saw was a loving father, his mission getting accomplished, and his friends finally feeling relieved.

Jin-cheol Steals the Show

Jin-cheol is the MVP always. His hilarious “Red Light, Green Light” reference while setting up a fake Claymore mine is such an amazing comedy scene. Even during life-threatening moments, Jin-cheol manages to make the scenario extremely hilarious.

The running jokes surrounding him continue to excel as they feel organic and nice. His vibe with Kim and Han-su is paired well, and it enhances the show’s quality. The trio honestly feels like a seasoned team that knows how to make things work well.

Action That Delivers Every Time

Episode 7 doesn’t disappoint when it comes to action. The way the heroes were trapped was surprisingly executed well. Locking them inside their vehicle, transporting their car on a truck and pumping sleeping gas into it made the scene felt chilling. However, it also shows how they underestimated the trio as they had an excellent plan.

The standout fight belongs to Jin-cheol as he confronts the Chief. Watching the usually arrogant Chief Nam get completely overpowered is immensely satisfying. He’s losing, and it feels somewhat like a personal win. The scene perfectly mixes comedy with action, making it one of the episode’s highlights.

Mr Kim’s fight against Gang-chan is brutal and massive. It’s not a fight, as Kim was the one giving the blows, and it gave me chills. Calling it Gang-chan, desperately grabs anything he can find to use as a weapon, but nothing slows Mr Kim down. The fight choreography is a chef’s kiss.

A Cliffhanger That Raises the Stakes

The final minutes completely change the tone. Just when Kim reaches his escape, the North Korean authorities capture him again. The drama leaves the viewers wondering whether he will escape or not.

At the same time, Gang-chan remains a dangerous tie. Although larger political forces continue to pursue Kim, Gang-chan’s personal vendetta makes him a villain who is mysteriously funny. With Min-ji now under the protection of the government, it makes us wonder whether she’ll be safe.

Final Verdict

Honestly, episode 7 is the strongest episode. It balances action, clever comedy and emotionally good storytelling without missing the pace. The action scenes are hilarious, and they land naturally. The emotional moments carry good weight, and it shows how Kim and Min-ji’s core story feels heavy.
