Something about Jipyeong's character just resounds so much. I've struggled to put my finger on it for a while but I think I finally found my answer in this episode.

I've been in his place many times where I also thought "It's okay, this is enough" "I'll just settle for this" and I've always set my exceptations so low. Even though I know that I want more but I don't feel like I am deserving of it.

Time and time over that I had to cheer myself up (because I was my only support) and try to find contentment with what I had.

Seeing it all mirrored back on screen hurts extortionately. Seeing how everything has gone for him makes me feel less hopeful.
