Now, we have a bit more context for his behavior.
Hes also a recovering rich kid!
(Every show needs at least one, I guess?)
And were all here for our own reasons, whether its money or something else.
But youre here because you cant escape?
Thats what makes you a kid.
The concept of what makes someone an adult is a culturally specific one.
Rios dad doesnt care that his kid cannot look at blood without fainting or throwing up.
He sees his hemophobia as a weakness to be overcome rather than something to support his son through.
In Episode 4, Tokyo and the Professor give Rio a much simpler goal: stop running away.
Rio may not be destined to become a doctor, but he does learn to stop running.
If class is inherited in North Korea, in the South, wealth is inherited, Professor explains.
(Um, maybe they should have tried this sooner?)
The scenario allows some cultural specificity, as Berlin recognizes Captain Chas dialect as Munhwao, a.k.a.
the North Korean standard dialect.
But things get complicated when the Professor successfully woos an exhausted Woo-jin into bed.
The closer these two get, the more complicated the Professors plan will become.
This is easily the most romance-forward episode yet.
Im totally willing to go with it.
Rios growth feels a bit too bold and a bit too easy.
But its far from a weak episode.
I like that this show isnt interested in making any character irredeemable or without relatable human qualities.
Woo-jin is about to face someconsequencesfor making the call to shoot Young-min, which … she probably should.

Two loose cannons in an operation proven to be vulnerable to surprise.
I cant wrap my head around that crap.
Do you should probably?
Tokyo calls Denver out on his burgeoning feelings for Mi-seon.
Upon finding out Young-mins phone password is 1234, Berlin muses, Its amazing you never got caught cheating.
It really, really is.
Established cinephile Denver has seenTroy.
Berlin teases Rio (and us) that Tokyo didnt come here for the money.
The fear doesnt work if she is alive.
Berlin is really committed to keeping the hostages fearful.
I cant side with someone who wants to kill someone who managed to stay alive.
Nairobi admires Mi-seons resilience.
