My Man is Cupid Episode 5 Review

The love triangle effect is working out very well. Of course, the second lead isn’t going to get Baek-ryun but he does deserve her given she was his soulmate in their past life. The serial killer is the same guy who murdered Jeong-ah and this makes the plot even more interesting as all three of them who were connected in their past life once again are joined in this present life (Sang-hyuk hasn’t re-incarnated, he’s 500 years old).
