Let’s weigh It’s Okay It’s Love on a beam balance and see if it is worth watching or is better missed.
Good Weights
Good Story – IOIL is a medical drama with an interesting storyline for every character on the show. The show deals with several medical cases and each case has been dealt with maturely without compromising on the entertainment value. You may not belong to the medical field but the psychiatrists in the show explain each case in a simple manner for a layman to understand. Despite dealing with a serious topic, the show still makes space for comedy and romance without straying away from the central theme.
Amazing Soundtrack – Apart from the beautifully woven storylines, the original soundtrack of the show is what stands out. All the songs in the show are just incredible. It sets the mood for a scene especially for the non-Korean audience who may initially struggle slightly to understand the nature of a scene.
Sleepless Night by Crush (feat. Punch) is my favourite and I listen to it in a loop. Its lyrics are extremely romantic and totally suits the protagonist’s love story.
Good Acting – What’s beautiful about this show is that every character has a part to play and has a story of its own. It shows how each character deals with its own personal issues and how they manage to tackle them and go on in life. Supporting actors of the show have done an amazing job. Each of them has acted their part to perfection.
Main Lead’s Chemistry – Jang Jae Yeol and Ji Hae Soo’s chemistry is intense and enchanting. Their love-hate relationship is so engaging that you wait for them to come together on screen. Jo In Sung (Jang Jae Yeol) is not only handsome but also a good actor. He looks so vulnerable in certain scenes that you almost feel like protecting him. After a few episodes he just doesn’t look like the Casanova he was thought of being initially. He manages to shed the playboy image and comfortably fit in the role of a romantic hero.
Gong Hyo Jin (Ji Hae Soo) is exceptionally good as the independent and highly opinionated psychiatrist. At times, you might feel annoyed with the way Hae Soo deliberately pushes Jang Jae Yeol away from herself but that is what is required for the character. Hae Soo is a difficult woman because she deals with some insecurities and guilt which is why she uses her arrogance to shield herself.
Bad Weights(I found it extremely difficult to spot any flaws in the show. So the bad weights for this show are not exactly its shortcomings but a few things that bothered me slightly.)
Easy Treatments – Some of the ailments have been shown to be treated easily. An illness like schizophrenia is difficult to treat and may take years to control. But in the show, a patient is shown to contain it very easily and in a rather short period of time. I am not from a medical background but from what I have read I know that it definitely requires more time and efforts to treat it. However, since the show is only 16 hours long I cannot blame the makers for speeding up the treatment process as the audience is not really interested in seeing the detailed procedure of the treatment.
Cheesy Title – I must say that the show’s title is totally misleading. With such a strong content it should have been named differently to avoid the audience taking it to be a just a regular romantic series.
The show beam balance has way too many good weights than bad weights which clearly indicate that the show is a MUST MUST WATCH. I cannot elaborate enough why the show deserves the accolades it has been receiving online by several K-drama fans. All I can say is that had it not been for this show I wouldn’t have tried Korean dramas at all. It’s Okay It’s Love is totally worth the 16 hours of your life.

Embracing the darkness to appreciate the light (TW before watching)
First and foremost, I would advise those who watch this series to make sure you know it does cover some VERY violent topics and mental health concerns. Even with knowing this myself, I had to take a few breaks due to feeling overwhelmed since it really shows some raw emotions and encapsulates the journey many must take when facing their pasts.I normally go into series that portray characters with labeled mental health issues with an expectation that they may not represent them correctly or even create new ones that have no real science to back it up. Watching this series I was taken back by how seamlessly they constructed the storyline, it did a good job of balancing the romance with real life scenarios and mental health issues. They didn't make the issues into a gimmicks to progress the story forward but truly delved into what it means to have these diagnosis but also showed how they are not death sentences. That they could not be easily solved with the power of love but showed that with some you must choose to place your mental health first on a daily basis and learn to love yourself, flaws and all, before taking the step to love others.
I don't want to spoil this series all too much since I loved how they slowly peeled away the layers of the characters, leading the viewer to really fall in love with each character before learning about the scars and painful pasts they each have. I will say if you are anything like me, you will be crying on and off watching it.
One thing I really want to highlight is that this series is one of the most complex love stories I have ever watched. So if you aren't afraid to have your heart break a few times before having it cobbled back together stronger in the end, then definitely give this series a chance.

I'm glad I decided to give this a chance anyway, because it is really amazing.
This is the third drama I've seen where Gong Hyo Jin was the female lead, and I was really surprised. The other two dramas I've seen her in were Pasta and The Greatest Love. Her characters in those were so different than in this one and it was nice to see. She is really a great actress, and I feel she really brought her A game here as well.
The male lead was played by Jo In Sung, this is the first time for me to see him act and at first I wasn't a huge fan, but slowly came around as the drama progressed. He did a pretty great job.
The story and characters are really well done, and this might be one of the only dramas I've seen where everyone kind of felt like real people. People with faults and strengths that seems more real than usual. I really like how this drama's pacing had the viewer realize what was going on first, then the other characters, and then finally the main person. It really kept you in anticipation since you found out what was going on first through clues. Then the focus of the drama isn't just a love story anymore, it's watching these characters slowly realize what you found out. Then it's watching these characters deal with it in their own personal ways.
This one right here is definitely going to be a classic down the road. Where people with look back fondly at this and say how great it was.
This drama was amazing and I highly recommend this drama.

Story is not as simple as you think. Though few early episodes already gave hints of what to expect next, it would still surprise you.
Acting was good. I fell in love with Jo In Sung because of this drama. Leads have good chemistry. Support cast did a great job as well. Music was okay. But nothing memorable for me.
I’ve already rewatched this drama. It still made me cry. I enjoyed this drama a lot. I was surprised of how good it was.

Not bad but not good either
It's okay that's lovel 2014 drama is based on mental health issues which depicts mental health illness very realistically but it fails to show the recovery/treatment properly obviously except for the ml's Compare to that everything else seems pretty lackluster.Things i didn't like:
1... The first few episodes were pretty hard to watch and the banter btwn ml\fl appeared forced to me.
2....fl overcome her trauma of 30 years overnight.She didn't sleep with her ex even though they for almost a year but within a week she was able to do that with the ml OUTSIDE?
3.....fl is a psychiatrist but she is taking "insight" from the ml to treat her patients as if she is a quake doctor and ml knows everything frickin sh!t better than the actual psychiatrists.this drama displays most of the female partners always less than\lacking\ not perfect than their male partners.
4.....didnt like the camera work that much as they would zoomed on the face too much. I personally don't like that.
5..... the older brother never asked for forgiveness. Like ml his brother and their mother all need to have an emotional scene, you can't just shove it under the rug and think that there's no conflict left btwn the bros.older brother literally assaulted him in every scenes he needs to apologize and also deserves a apology.
6.... Fl's mother is just shameless and full of audacity. But even though she is unapologetic to her husband and her daughters. I wouldn't complain about it if it was shown that she at least felt bad while cheating on her paralyzed husband.Makes one wonder where the fl got her annoying personality.
7..... The dialogues and bad most for the soo kwang&so nyeo(teenage-adult) couple. Why they show this couple in the first place.it was uncomfortable to watch them together.
8... This cursed drama has 16th episode break up, scene. And it was a rushed ending.
Things liked:
1.. the hospital patients scenes and their realistic presentation.
2. Ml's story line is very solid and well written Even though he was kinda annoying, forceful and toxic but so was the fl but she deserved better storyline. That's why everyone says they didn't like the fl. I honestly couldn't connect to any of the characters and it's really sad i had high expectations from the drama because everyone praises it so much but it's such a shame that i couldn't like it whole heartedly.
3.is there anything else to like?i can't remember.ah. the acting is pretty good liked most of their acting and casting was good.
4.this drama tried to very different and controversial but watching it in 2024 didn't make much of an impact on me as it would if i had watched it in 2014. So i think this drama couldn't transcend Time and obviously a product of it's time.
Nevertheless it was a good watch and learned many things.

In crescendo
Le ultime puntate sono decisamente quelle che hanno risollevato il mio giudizio positivo su questo dramma. Il tema principiale sono le malattie mentali e l'origine del loro scatenarsi e la possibile guarigione.Il tutto è intrallazzato con storie d'amore , d'amicizie e di famiglie.
Mi piace il lieto fine giocoso e pieno di promesse per il futuro dopo alcune fasi tragiche che lasciavano credere al peggio.
Il protagonista principale è alquanto affascinante e con spiccato sex appeal e dà il tono attraente a tutta la vicenda. La protagonista principale non mi è stata propriamente gradita: se ha un bel corpo , ha un viso come proteso in avanti che non mi piace . Mi dava fastidio il suo continuo chiedere se fosse amata e il suo umore da bastian contrario; pero recupera in simpatia nelle ultime puntate. Gli altri attori sono simpatici e recitano bene la propria parte . Un certo carisma lo dimostra anche il medico principale.
Le colonne sonore sono piacevoli da ascoltare e appropriate alle scene.

This was such a rollercoaster of a drama, with many ups and downs, offering an awesome thrill all the way. This series was in my "must-watch" list after much praising and positive feedback on it everywhere. I loved it, even though it had its flaws here and there. Now let's focus on the positive aspects. First, I loved the strong female lead. Not only her as a character, but how beautiful she is as well. Second, the story was very unique and nothing like I've ever seen before. Third, I enjoyed how quickly the chemistry and romance blossomed between the main leads. As lastly, and something that I look for in every drama, the OST was magically beautiful. No wonder it scored so high with the fans around the world! Now, the only thing that ruined this drama for me was how draggy everything became after the schizophrenia diagnosis. It went downhill after that for me. The female lead became weak, the male lead followed in her footsteps. Even though the illness was quite unexpected and a plot-twist for me, in addition, the brother committing a crime was a big plot hole too. If I took anything from this drama, is to look at mental illness from a different perspective. But I don't get why the drama is so hyped up, there are definitely drama that are more fascinating and gripping than this one. Esta resenha foi útil para você?

El comienzo es brutal: un tipo que a todas luces no está mentalmente estable es liberado después de pasar más de una década en prisión como condena por el supuesto asesinato de su padrastro. Lo primero que hace después de conseguir su libertad es presentarse, con lo que parece ser un brote psicótico, en la fiesta de cumpleaños de un joven DJ para clavarle un tenedor en repetidas ocasiones por la espalda ante la mirada estupefactas de decenas de personas que no asimilan lo bizarro de la escena. El herido incluso le sonríe al reconocerlo mientras se lamenta por la imprudencia del criminal. El agresor se llama Jang Jae Bum y el agredido Jang Jae Yul, son hermanos y ninguno de los dos está bien. Es importante saber esto porque más adelante nos servirá para entender de una manera mucho más amplia lo que las primeras impresiones nos muestran.En un principio podríamos creer que Jang Jae Yul es el típico escritor popular con fama de mujeriego que deja tirada a un novia en cada cama y un millón de won en cada esquina. Tampoco es que estemos muy errados: su arrogancia se le resbala de la cara y su narcisismo le rebota del espejo. Pero detrás de esta fachada (porque eso es, una fachada bastante obvia), se esconde una trágica infancia que lo define ampliamente en su adultez —aunque él intente ocultarlo— afectando su vida diaria a niveles que muy pocas personas que le rodean comprenden. De hecho, el TOC que padece resulta ser lo más normal dentro de sus peculiaridades; porque, la verdad, éste sólo se limita a tener perfectamente ordenadas las toallas del sanitario, accionar el humidificador cuando entra a la habitación o la precisión de sus libros en las estanterías, y no es algo que influya de manera negativa en su rutina. Pero luego nos damos cuenta de aquello que termina por exponer una grieta en su cordura: Jae Yul es incapaz de dormir en ningun otro lado que no sea en un baño, o más concretamente, en la tina. Esto no tiene absolutamente nada que ver con ser obsesivo compulsivo sino de un problema mucho más complejo del que él quizá apenas tiene conciencia: el trastorno de estrés post-traumático (TEPT).
Como al principio parece que es algo que no se le va de las manos, nos convence a nosotros, como espectadores, de que tiene todo bajo control. Si a eso le agregamos su soberbia y altanería, nos pinta su personalidad con una egolatría descarada y pícara pero tremendamente carismática. Es imposible no empatizar con él desde un principio; quizá nos pique un poco la espina del recelo cuando en un principio le vemos con su novia o fruncimos el ceño al verlo regodearse de su popularidad en el talk-show donde fue invitado pero una vez que le vemos convivir con el jóven Han Kang Woo (un niño víctima de violencia doméstica que aspira a convertirse en escritor) nos convencemos que no puede ser tan caradura si aun tiene un poquito de bondad ahí dentro. Además, está el hecho de haber intercedido por su hermano criminal cuando estaba por dictarse la sentencia por la agresión sufrida durante su cumpleaños, aunque en un principio no intuimos el por qué. Sin embargo, el cenit de la serie en realidad llega con el diagnóstico de su esquizofrenia y su progresivo episodio psicótico-suicida, que resulta sumamente devastador tanto para nosotros como para los personajes que atestiguan su caída, empezando por Ji Hae Soo, nuestra otra protagonista, la misma que juró odiarlo desde la primera vez que lo tuvo enfrente y lo acompañó como fiera indomable durante sus días más bajos.
Si hay algo que Ji Hae Soo nos enseña apenas aparece en pantalla es que la ansiedad no necesariamente va de la mano de la timidez (como tampoco la asocialidad), porque, de hecho, Hae Soo es extrovertida, una mujer inteligente que tiene una personalidad testaruda y terca, pero que a pesar de eso siente una profunda comprensión hacia sus pacientes, quizá porque de manera subconsciente se reconoce como uno. Y es que la chica se siente incapaz de entablar una relación abierta con alguien. El problema de Hae Soo se remonta a una escena concreta que atestiguó en su infancia, cuando ella y su hermana mayor vieron cómo su madre se besuqueaba en el parque con el señor Kim, un hombre casado al que también le apetecía una aventura duradera cansado del agobio familiar.
El defecto de Hae Soo en el ámbito profesional se materializa con la poca tolerancia que siente hacia los familiares de sus pacientes; ahí es donde se le ponen los pelos como escarpia y la bilirrubina se le sale hasta por los poros. Le vemos ponerse al tú por tú con el homófobo hermano de un transexual y casi abofetear a la condescendiente madre de una jóven suicida. Y es que, si hay algo para lo que Hae Soo no tiene tiempo, es para lidiar con la ineptitud de la otra cara de la moneda: los parientes de los afectados (especialmente la figura materna). Pero lo que también le molesta es saberse incomprendida en su propio círculo familiar; tiene una hermana que piensa que el matrimonio está en los genes y una madre adúltera que ansía el día que su hija siente cabeza y se comprometa de una vez por todas para aliviar un poco la enorme deuda económica que carga en sus espaldas desde hace varios años. También está el cuñado alcahuete y un padre con un daño cerebral que le hace tener el raciocinio de un bebé. Hae Soo entró al arco de los treinta siendo una soltera renuente a contraer matrimonio, con un trastorno de ansiedad autodiagnosticado viviendo en una sociedad que no ve con un buenos ojos —ni dos milímetros de comprensión— ninguno de los dos casos.
El hogar compartido de Hae Soo es una combinación entre un Big Brother privado y Los locos Adams pero sin parentesco alguno. Además de ella, el lugar está habitado por el psiquiatra Jo Dong Min y por Park Soo Kwnag, un chico con el síndrome de Tourette que trabaja en el café instalado en el área inferior de la vivienda. El lugar pretende ser una especie de tierra neutra donde todos pueden vivir cómo se les dé la gana. Una isla utópica donde sus habitantes logran dejar atrás de la puerta toda las exigencias de la sociedad contemporánea y relajarse al ras de su pequeño paraíso personal. Podríamos creer que Jae Yeol viene a romper este frágil equilibrio donde interactúan armoniosamente sus habitantes, pero no podríamos estar más errados: la casa en realidad es una especie de anarquía sin sentido donde a veces el menos cuerdo de sus habitantes (el psiquiatra) berrea a la primera oportunidad que se le presente, el desgraciado de Soo Kwang llora a lágrima viva cuando tiene un ataque de tics al besar a un chica y Hae Soo amenaza con mudarse un día sí y el otro también cansada del agobio de su propio infierno. Jae Yeol sólo vino a remover el polvo; a ordenar las cosas, a cambiar las veladoras, a tomar agua mineral, a dormir en su baño privado y a cuestionar la salud mental de todos y cada uno de los groseros habitantes que se le paran enfrente sin pedirle permiso. El pretexto de él para instalarse allí ni siquiera tiene importancia (le están arreglando el penthouse), porque sin saber cuándo ni en qué momento queda integrado de manera perfecta a la fotografía, convirtiéndose en uno más de la manada que —aunque tardó lo suyo en adaptarse y le aplicaron la ley del hielo en una ocasión— termina por formar parte de la disfuncional familia sin que el proceso nos parezca demasiado bizarro como para no terminar de asimilarlo.
Han Kang Woo es un fantasma del pasado. Curiosamente capté su inexistencia desde el primer episodio, cuando se topa con Jael Yeol en el sanitario y su falta de interacción con el entorno me llevó a pensar casi por instinto que éste era un reflejo de él mismo en su juventud. Esa especie de hipnosis que parecía caerle encima cuando estaba frente a la persona que más admiraba era otra prueba de ello. La mente de Jael Yeol utiliza a este niño para reflejar esos fallos del pasado que se acumulan sin piedad y le roban la cordura. Las apariciones del chico se convierten más peligrosas conforme los síntomas de él empeora y terminan por tornarse tenebrosas cuando su conciencia se difumina hasta alcanzar un grado de peligro latente (ahora es él quien toma un auto y pone entre la vida y la muerte a otras personas) y ya no puede liberarse de él; incluso le vemos en su habitación, sentado en el escritorio, mientras Hae Soo también está con él. El día de la liberación, el día que él lo deja ir y se despide dándole unos zapatos nuevos (de hecho, cuando me di cuenta del asunto de los zapatos se me partió el alma, el corazón y las ganas de vivir) es cuando por fin Jael Yeol ve la luz al final de camino, no sólo acepta su problema mental sino también sus limitación, y Hae Soo está ahí para apoyarlo, para darle una comprensión desmedida y un soporte firme al que aferrarse ante su propia debilidad. Es una escena preciosa y cargada de tantas emociones que termina por derretirse el alma.
Las parejas secundarias tampoco se quedan atrás: Por un lado tenemos a Lee Young Jin y Jo Dong Min, que fungen como los veteranos por excelencia y, por otro lado, Park Soo Kwang y Ahn So Nyuh equilibran la balanza con su juventud e inexperiencia. Tanto Young Jin como Dong Min nos muestran con sabiduría el saberse mayores en una sociedad que les dejó atrás sin reparar en sus sentimientos. El mayor defecto de ellos fue haber callado justo cuando más tenían de qué hablar. El tiempo pasó, ambos crecieron profesionalmente, siguieron con sus vidas y después de tantos años los sentimientos del pasado se conglomeran frente a ellos como un arrebato de rebeldía ante todo eso que tanto se esforzaban por ocultar tras sus propias inseguridades. Algo que me ha gustado muchísimo es que su relación se quede ahí, en mera y franca amistad, porque mirándolo con detenimiento era algo, no sólo lógico, sino ético. Dong Min tenía una familia formada y tampoco es que le apeteciera desequilibrar la armonía de ella a base de deslices amoroso con su ex-esposa. Incluso el rechazo de darse un abrazo cobra sentido cuando analizamos ese vínculo tan peculiar que desarrollaron entre ellos, con una confianza y un respeto inigualables. Soo Kwang y So Nyuh son muy distintos, incluso podríamos asegurar que no mantienen ni siquiera una pizca de gustos en común, pero a lo largo de todo el drama les vemos luchando por vencer sus debilidades anteponiendo su relación a sus temores y defectos personales. Soo Kwang carga con la culpa de ser un hijo que no ha podido llenar las expectativas de su padre, un hombre exigente, que no duda en catalogarlo de retrasado mental cuando le ve con síntomas del síndrome de Tourette. Insensible, distante y ufano, le echa en cara cuanta cosa le pase por la cabeza y lo humilla desde la intolerancia que le propicia su propia ignorancia. El papá de Ahn So Nyuh es todo lo contrario a éste, de actitud sumisa y recolector de basura encontró la manera de sacar a su hija adelante, no sin que su pasividad le otorgara a la chica una hipocresía rancia y malagradecida. Ciega por completo al sacrificio de su progenitor y huérfana de madre, abandonó la escuela sólo para cargar con el uniforme colegial a todas horas y a todos lados, liándose primero con un chico que muy poco le importaba su bienestar mientras ésta estuviera contenta. Soo Kwang aprende a aceptar sus limitaciones y también le da una buena zarandeada mental para que aprenda que la gratitud no es una prenda de vestir o un calzado bonito. Ella, por su parte, con su actitud aniñada y la hiperactividad a toda marcha, comienza a entender sobre la paciencia y la comprensión; a saber cómo calmar los tics de él y detener una crisis poco antes de que ocurra. Tienen un crecimiento personal tan marcado desde el principio que conmigo resultó primero en una indiferencia total hasta que finalmente caí rendida a sus imperfecciones.
Más que un drama recomendado es un drama necesario. Me gustaría toparme con éste subgénero más a menudo por lo que mencioné al principio: vivimos en un mundo donde las enfermedades mentales están repletas de mitos e ideas erróneas de parte del público en general, y quienes los viven en carne propia acarrean con el estigma de la ignorancia, lo que a la larga traer repercusiones negativas para su vida y terminan por agravar el problema. No creo que sea la manera definitiva para combatir en sí ese tabú existente (porque al final la ficción seguirá siendo ficción) pero sí para despertar la curiosidad de los televidentes, para impulsarlos de manera desinteresada a saber más sobre el tema o ha sentir un poco de empatía hacia quienes padecen estos problemas. ¡Más series como éstas, por favor!

Love is Imperfect When Mental Health Issues are at Play
8.5/10 is what I would rate this one.A 2014 South Korean Television series that spanned 16 episodes (~60 minutes/episode). Jang Jae-yeol (Jo In-sung) is a disc jockey and popular author. He has obsessive-compulsive disorder but, despite that, he is very fun loving although a bit arrogant. Ji Hae-soo (Gong Hyo-jin) is an newby psychiatrist that takes her responsibility to her patients very seriously. Her mother and father's relationship has left Hae-soo with anxiety around all things related to relationships and intimacy. Jae-yeol and Hae-soo are not love at first site, at least not for Hae-soo who actually dislikes almost every thing about Jae-yeol and is surprisingly cruel to him given her profession. Proximity leads to a discovery that the differences that originally drove them apart are only surface and they are much more alike than first impressions would indicate. Jae-yeol and Hae-soo begin the process of healing each other through their growing relationship.
Spoiler 🚨 This was an absolute emotional ride. I never cease to be amazed at the onion like nature of these dramas. I read the title and look at pictures and even read some reviews and still feel like I have only seen the outside of the onion. I start with an impression in my mind of what the drama might be like and I am so surprised so frequently with what they are actually about. On this one I expected the typical guy meets girl, some conflict in the middle, maybe a 2nd guy then a happy ending. This did not follow that at all and had me delving into my thoughts on mental illnesses, what constitutes a family and just what is normal. This is deep and complex and sad at times but very good and compelling.

I came into this drama wanting to watch a drama which tackles mental issues and from reading the synopsis, I had high expecteations and they for sure got met. They way they depict to struggles and issues that both the leads go through and how they tackle them is truly amazing. As a person who suffers from a disorder I could relate to some of the characters and especially Soo Kwang, I don't have tourettes but I could emphasise with him the most and how he finds it hard to socialise with people and his internal struggles.This drama was more about the struggles and edurance in a relationship rather than the journey to get to the relationship like other kdramas. It tackled things like sex and other sensitive issues that a couple might have to tackle to be able to have a good relationship.
I want to first talk about Ji Hae Soo's character, the actor Gong Hyo Jin did an amazing job expressings Hae Soo's character. This is my second drama for her after watching "When the Camellia Blooms" in which i liked her character but i wasn't completly sold on her. This drama gave me a 180 and made me appreciate her acting and made me realise how good she is expressing more mature femal roles. Hae Soo had an emotional scar as a child becasue she saw her mom cheat oh her disabled husband and that gave her a scar to where she was no longer able to anything sexual with a male becasue she saw that as a bad thing. After meeting Jang Jae Yeol did she start to change and began to appreciate love that she was given.
With Jang Jae Yeol character, it really deeply affected me becasue on the outside he looks like a strong willed person but on the inside he was hurting. He hid hish real thoughts by playing with a bunch of girls and acting happy all the time. It was only after moving into the house with Hae Soo was when he started to change bit by bit. When we find out that Kang Woo was his imagination, it realy did shock me because just before it was revealed I said that Jae Yeol acts childish around him and seems happy. Once that was revealed we start to actually see Jae Yeol in a new light and as teh story progressed we could see that Jae Yeol was changing due to his illness getting worse. Every scene Kang Woo was in a scene, I just felt so sorry for Jae Yeol. I loved how it was Hae Soo that helped him realise that Kang Woo is not real and allowed him to move on and start to change.
Park Soo Kwang character was really intresting becasue he was very mature throughout the whole show and I believe if he wasn't there to comfort people, something might've gone wrong. His romance with So Nyeo was quite refreshing as I know both actors from previous dramas I've wacthed and loved.
The OST was aight, it fit the scenes that they were in but they didn't affect me as some other drama OST's have.
If your looking for a drama which tackles Mental Issues and want to see a adult romance between two people deeply scarred in which they heal each other then I whole heartedly reccomend this show to you.

Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin SUPERB ACTING!
Yes both of the two leads did give justice from ther roles and it got me in EXTREME ROLLER COASTER rides, with many psychological terms or illnesses that mind blown me more than i expected. I never expected this drama to be great. But i really hate Haesoo's mom and her sister ther both btchess tskkk… but the rest all of them have perfect execution of ther roles i love it. Im about to laugh becoz almost all of people inside the ML house are all PSYCHOPATHS its so fcking hilarious i cant with this. And also ive learn many lessons from this drama it so relatable in our daily lives. I cried more than any more drama that i have watched so far so ready for your tissues if you wanna watched already. Im really of Gong Hyo Jin i love her even more in this drama.SHES LIT AS FCK !!!! Highly recommeneded!!!Esta resenha foi útil para você?
