K-drama has just had the most dramatic shift in history

Okay, that might be too much but for me it is.

Now, what to say...I have A LOT to say about this drama.

The storyline is one of the best I’ve seen in Korean Drama history. Though, mental/psychological/psychiatrical stories have been made before but this drama truly dug deep into its theme. I applaud the writers for creating such a masterpiece and laying out the plot very well. To be honest, a mix of the usual cliche stories we often see are still in the drama but tweaked so—I’m sorry—damn well that it wasn’t boring to watch. I like how exactly connected the title of the episodes are not only with Gang Tae and Moon Yeong but even with the extended stories of the supporting roles at the hospital. It’s very much clear how well the whole plot has been thought out, wonderful job!

The characters were beyond amazing. Their stories were all complete. All characters (at least those that matters) have their background stories and I like how well they were written. Starting from their mental/psychological needs to how they got it and how they were able to overcome it. I’d say that the characters were completely and perfectly sculpted. Each character has a reason why they are in the drama. And I also like how the friends surrounding the three of them never pulled them down but waited and kept on encouraging and supporting them no matter what. Kdrama writers...please take notes.

The whole series is full of symbolisms and contrasting ideas and I LOVE IT! The butterfly, the red shoes, the long hair, the scars, the bandages, the drawings—literally oozing with symbolisms that I made it a game to find them while watching. And then the contrasting ideas: the butterfly could be both a symbol for being psycho or a cure; the fact that Sang Tae was considered the liability but most of the time his words give the greatest realization to Gang Tae; the fact that Gang Tae was so good with his job—controlling/appeasing people with mental/psychological/emotional needs—but he’s in complete turmoil; the fact that Moon Yeong helped a lot of people overcome and pick themselves up when she’s the most broken one; and a lot more.

Cinematography! Wow just wow. I don’t know much but just the way it’s different from other dramas already deserve an acknowledgement from me. The transitions of the scenes are almost peculiar but it’s so fun. I also like how they actually show what each person is feeling or thinking in actual representations. At first I thought it has horror but then realized that they just wanted to let us see inside, and that’s really cool.

Need I say more about the cast? Sublime! Kim Soo Hyun has always been good, so that 인정! Oh Jung Se truly truly did such a good job portraying a person with autism. But the most I’m impressed with is Seo Ye Ji, I’ve always liked her, but I get to like her even more; I cannot imagine her not acting as Moon Yeong, she’s PERFECT for the role!

My last thoughts would be regarding Sang Tae and Gang Tae. As a person with a sister with special needs too, I’ve been continuously affected and touched by most of the scenes between brothers, especially about “Moon Gang Tae is for Moon Gang Tae”...this feeling is inevitable and yes it’s not easy to overcome and I like how that’s the final scene; that everyone is their own and that it takes time to understand and accept. I also like how in the whole series, no unnecessary scenes where Sang Tae gets bullied by extras just for the sake of making a point that he’s different or just to say that he’s being discriminated and looked down upon. We don’t need that and I’m thankful for that writers.

Truly amazing drama. Will definitely be watching it again soon just so I could see what I missed before.
