    Can you imagine missing someone so much, and they just show up in front of you? I just love that scene.
    Did you mention the meaning ot the number 5?
    I will have to watch The Devil's Plan. My son follows a couple of cryptic puzzle sites (and makes me work on puzzles with him often). I think he might like the show.

      Laurel, thank you for your comments! No, I can't imagine seeing someone I thought I had lost forever, on my street! Amazing!

      I don't know about the significance of the number 5. I know that in Japan, you don't buy things in sets of four, it's always five. And I also know that the number 7 is important in CLOY! Tell us more!

    I know! I think you would be so happy your heart would burst! How incredible was that? Especially knowing how it’s almost impossible to cross the border.

    Tell us more about the number 5. Do mean that there are often 5 characters? In this episode we have Jung Man Bok and Captain Ri’s four men. We have noticed that a lot of these Kdramas have 5 leads. Is there a greater significance to this number?

    I like to know the symbolism of things like colors and numbers, so I looked it. up. The number five can mean freedom.
