It's been a while since a series has pumped me up like this one does. It's a wonderful combination of romance and business drama. It's refreshing to have intensity without wanting to climb the walls in frustration and rip out some characters hair...
The episodes keep getting better. This episode shows the most clear mutual feelings between the hero and heroine so far. Even their physical closeness is stepped up a notch.
The dialogue in this episode was some of the most intense in any romantic drama I've seen. The characters started exposing their true colors, there was a lot of shouting--both angry and loving. I have so much love for this episode and this series.
Show Slightly More Detailed/Spoiler-y Summary
I love that Sawaki has grown a backbone--we saw evidence of it developing earlier series, but she really comes into her own in this episode. She manages to talk back, stand up for herself, and come out with some biting remarks without losing her extremely well-educated politeness. That said, I almost wanted her to make a scene when Hyuga was having his fit in front of the office.
The betrayal scenario was a bit over-done, I feel. In the real world, I like to think that such an obvious usurper would face at least some backlash. I also think it's unlikely that the hero would fall into such extreme and sudden poverty. It would have been more believable if he were either entirely bankrupted or if he remained with at least a few thousand dollars to his name. Leaving him with $50 to his name is just a bit too conveniently close to broke.
