BEAUTIFUL. VERY VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL.
⚠️ SUPER LONG REVIEW AHEAD ⚠️
This drama got so much hype when it aired. There were so many spoilers, so many reviews, so many screenshots circulating around the social media. And I was planning to watch as soon as the last episode aired. However, the plot twist was spoiled to me since there were no spoiler warning on Instagram like here on MDL. My plan to watch got delayed and more delayed since I thought there was no point in watching when I knew the ending already.
But, after months and months after this drama ended, I knew I needed to watch this drama somehow. I was super happy when the news that Seo Ye Ji and Kim Soo Hyun playing in a drama together came out, so I really needed to watch this drama. So... I watched it. And GOSH... it was BEAUTIFUL. It was beyond my expectations. I forgot the fact someone spoiled me the ending, because the plot twist didn’t really matter anymore. The story of Moon Young, Gang Tae, Sang Tae and all the protagonists were all that matters. It was beyond beautiful, it was spectacular, touching, healing, and was perfect. I don’t think I could move on from this drama so easily now. It’s been quite a while since I last saw this kind of romance drama - I think my last favorite was Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo. It’s something quite rare to see dramas with leads that have awesome chemistry like this, like they were meant for each other. Seo Ye Ji and Kim Soo Hyun did that. They were perfect for each other.
The story. Whew, where do I begin? I was super intrigued after finishing Episode 1. It doesn’t normally happen to someone like me. I usually get quite bored on the first four to five episodes, but IOTNBO managed to break my stereotype upon the first half of dramas. I had to admit that I hated Ko Moon Young’s character at the beginning. She was annoying, self-centered and super loud. But I realized that it was the whole point of the title - Psycho, but it’s okay. As I watched the next episodes, I began to understand her. She grew up without love, and her doors to the outside world were shut closed by her mother. Next, onto Gang Tae. He devoted all his life to his autistic brother Sang Tae. He’s never happy, but always tell other he’s fine. But, when he met the psychotic Moon Young, his life changed. He began to feel real happiness, but he’s now stuck in a dilemma between his brother and the now called “destiny”, Moon Young. Every fairy tale book managed to wow me every time, it has the perfect portrayal of each episode. Very inspiring and entertaining.
Each and every character here is super lovable. Even the side characters are all so lovable. Despite being completely normal, I could somehow understand every patient in the psychiatric hospital. Odd, huh? The screenwriter managed to portray every characters beautifully. Their lines were so inspiring, and every scene was just very very memorable. Some dramas would just add in ‘Healing’ as a tag and would fail in healing the viewers, but this drama really healed me. Doctor Oh Ji Wang, Sang Tae, Lee Sang In, Jae Su, Kwon Gi Do, Kang Sun Deok, Nam Ju Ri, Kang Eun Ja, Gan Pil Ong. These are the underrated side characters. I honestly forgot some of their names, but they left me in such a memorable impression. Their scenes were short, but memorable. Weird, but inspiring. Perfect.
What I really love about all the scenes in this drama is the balance. After heartfelt and tear jerking scenes came up, they brought Jae Su, Lee Sang In, Lee Seung Jin into the scene, making the viewers smile and laugh after tearing up. Their comedic side didn’t seem forced, it was natural and was really funny. Eventhough the main genre of this drama isn’t pure comedy, I didn’t expect myself to laugh this hard watching this drama.
The acting. Seo Ye Ji did a really really great job portraying Moon Young. Can the viewers even guess that she’s actually an introvert? She’s deeply immersed the role of Moon Young and as a viewer, I’m impressed. Super impressed. Kim Soo Hyun did a good job as always. I loved him since My Love From The Star, and as always, I’m in love after watching his drama. He’s so dreamy. Oh Jung Se, just WOWED me with his acting. It’s not easy to portray an adult with autism. But he aced the role. He made me cry a bucket of tears and just overall feel inspired. The life lessons I get were so many, I had to replay several scenes just to get a screenshot of the lines. :-P
The music. New, but fits well with the drama. It got the horror vibe, but some also sounds dreamy when it got to Moon Young and Sang Tae’s scenes. Super duper perfect!
Overall, I could give more than 10 out of 10. I would happily give 100 out of 10 because it was that good! If you’re looking for a romcom, with a hint of mystery and loads of life lessons, THIS IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU. Kudos to all the screenwriter, directors, staffs, actors and actresses!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
