A New Leaf: Episode 12 Review

One good progress in this episode was the relationship between Seok Joo and his dad. They spend more time together and Seok Joo also doesn't hide the fact he's getting horrible headaches. I think those headaches could be a sign his memory might be returning soon. I only wish both father and son would admit what they're suffering from. How long can his dad keep dismissing his forgetfulness as something that's happening because he's getting older? And how long can Seok Joo continue to be around his dad without somehow revealing he had forgotten some important memory?

At the law firm, I'm glad we don't have to witness Cha Young Woo firing Seok Joo since Seok Joo made the decision to resign earlier than expected. I still want to believe Cha Young Woo and Seok Joo actually have a good relationship but I can't quite tell how it was before Seok Joo lost his memory. I suppose it was not a bad relationship, since no one in the office found it weird when the two interact. Apparently pre-amnesia Seok Joo was indifferent about where his office would be located in the building, so he ended up right next to Cha Young Woo. Jeon Ji Won doesn't seem to care about it either, so I'm guessing he's going to be moving into Seok Joo's old room then. Imagine that!

Ji Yoon finds it awkward to stay next to Seok Joo since the only reason Cha Young Woo put her there was to take care of Seok Joo. Cha Young Woo gives Ji Yoon the option of moving out whenever she wants to because the apartment would still be empty for the rest of the lease. Wow, how convenient! I hope the drama will make good use of this opportunity to build something there.

A good comedy moment arose when Ji Yoon's friend came over and bumped into Seok Joo. She was so afraid he would remember her but then she realised this was the lawyer Ji Yoon said had lost his memory. It's been a long while since Seok Joo lost his memory but I still can't help be amazed when he smiles and talks kindly. Plus, notice the (almost) matching tops Ji Yoon and Seok Joo are wearing? Ha!

It's looks like Lee Sun Hee and Seok Joo will join hands to fight for the small companies that lost so much money because they invested in the CPs. It also seems Sun Hee was actually promoted back to the finance department in the prosecution. I really can't wait to see what strategies the two can come up with!
