Introduction
The previous episode finally shows the materialization of the upcoming revenge and this episode has its first blood but not the first blood that you might expect. As the episode passes by, the emotional part of the revenge is getting where they are supposed to be, to the minds of the perpetrators.
The Episode's Narrative
Episode 4's story is about "First Blood", the beginning of an emotional revenge and the manipulation of another perpetrator which he has no choice but to play along.
Thoughts
"Episode 4" was able to instill in the minds of the viewers the magnitude of the pain felt by the protagonists by flashing back to some scenes where Dong-eun's arm was burnt by the perpetrators using hair iron. In the scene, her feet and thighs were also burnt by flat iron. That scene makes you very pity the protagonist as she is dragged by the hair of one of the perpetrators.

As far as I remember the previous episodes were not able to make me laugh or smile. But this episode has quite a few funny scenes in its bag. The firs one is the hospital scene where another doctor inquires about some personal information on his colleague to which he ends up asking one of the relatives (which he didn't know), the scene is kind of funny to me and makes me smile a little bit.

"Episode 4" may lack the funny scenes that I am looking for it is still a great episode since her revenge finally claimed its first blood in the person of her former teacher but it is not the kind of first blood that you might think. I am not going to spoil it here. If you want to know watch episodes one to four.
"Episode 4" is brilliant because it has some funny elements and of course, it gives us the fruition of the protagonist which is becoming very intense in each every passing episode. I am not expecting that this episode will show someone killing another individual in a very clever manner, allergy. Then the colorblind issue is used very intelligently. The issue of colorblind also made me think that a child's true father is the one she calls father.
By the way episode 4 made me quite smile with one of the funny scenes. The scene has to do with the henchman of the protagonist. She was caught looking at one of the bullies but when the bully looked at her she saw her snoring with her mouth wide open.

Conclusion
When I watch a movie or series about revenge I am always looking forward to the scene where the protagonist's revenge is finally starting and that is what this episode gave us. The first blood, the revelation of paternity, the funny scene, and the developing obsession of one of the bullies for the protagonist.
