[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Kind Words" Episode 13
By Lisa Espinosa | Published on
What makes "Kind Words" such a strong show is that despite a few plot tricks, the character growth is steady, on-the-mark, and endearing. These are real people, suffering real hardships, and making decisions that we, the viewers, face everyday. It's relatable even if our sins are not those committed in the show.
Let's start with the plot tricks. "Kind Words" has a way of engineering the plot to foster coincidences and then subverting that expectation. When Min-soo was looking for a place to stay, it seemed as though that place would be Eun-jin's father's building. It wasn't.
