I am already a Korean drama addict so I love all the cheesiness and the puppy love often displayed in Korean dramas. I went into this drama thinking the same way especially because of the cheesy title but boy was I wrong. The plot, actors, acting and the scene of this drama is absolutely beautiful. Zo In Sung and Hyo Jin portray their characters so well that people think they are an item in real life. The plot also gives a refreshing storyline for kdramas as it focuses on such a rare yet very important topic in society. This drama will take you on a roller-coaster ride of emotions and at the end will leave you stunned. Another thing I loved was that the end wasn't just random and abrupt but was well put together and beautiful. The writer did such an amazing job. This is my beast kdrama now along with 'I can hear your voice'. This is my 2nd time watching it now because I want to notice all the little inner acting and messages I might have missed the first time. lol. I would definitely recommend this drama to everyone regardless of your gender or age. Watch this not just to kill time but to actually enjoy a drama.

I generally dislike older k-dramas, but I heard good things about this show and decided to give it a shot. What a pleasant surprise!

This show has more mature themes and plot lines than almost any k drama I have ever seen, but for the most part these were handled maturely. I was particularly taken aback by how good the acting was in this - both the ML and FL were outstanding. I found the FL to be quite irritating for about the first half of the show - spoiled, temperamental, and unfair to the ML most of the time. What was really refreshing was how the ML handled the FL, I absolutely loved his "give as good as he got" attitude. He was mature but also fair in their interactions.

I also thought all the mental illnesses were handled very well! There was a lot of professionalism and realistic portrayals, so I was very impressed with that. A lot of shows (including Hollywood shows in particular) tend to portray mental illness, especially schizophrenia, as an illness that manifests as aggressive and dangerous. I really liked how they showed how most of the time these illnesses are not dangerous to other people, if anyone its to the patients themselves.

Overall this was a really enjoyable watch, I am so glad I gave it a shot!

The story of a love affair between a Psychiatrist and a successful writer. Both parties have mental health issues due to events in their past. Can their love overcome these issues as well as the serious family problems both have. The Psychiatrist is played by Hyo-Jin Kong who is superb in her role and the male lead In-Sung Jo is also convincing. The story mainly centres around the hospital and tries to highlight how ostracised a person can be because of their illness. A physical injury is visible and easily understood unlike mental illness which people tend to shun as it is not so easy to interpret. An enjoyable series with interesting side characters.

This kdrama was pretty interesting. It had a more adult content especially with the topic involved. Mental health are the main part of the story. Most of the characters had issues they had to deal with. It was interesting to see them deal with what they have. The bond that the four main character developed was enjoyable to watch. Jae-yeol and Hae-soo's relationship was adorable and had a more adult perspective. They had to face many challenges and it was entertaining to see how things would unfold. I had issues with some scenes because it seemed like to lack coherency.
