A chef's kiss

REALLY loved the dark vibe of the show. Very good acting and storyline. I felt satisfied when I completed watching it. Without a doubt is a favorite. The actors not only have very good chemistry, but individually the hit a home run in their roles. Love the maturity and complexity of the show. The production team did a phenomenal job. Also, the comedy in it was very good.

An extremely deep and interesting drama
It has its negative and positive points.

At times it is difficult to be patient with the prota's autistic brother, he makes it very difficult for some situations that are even boring, but the performance is undoubtedly impeccable

The protagonist harasses the prota a lot, which I particularly found comical, but often unnecessary, she is a person with mental problems, so she doesn't notice, but it's still unnecessary.

I missed the protagonist's amorous development, I can't see him gradually falling in love, it just seems that he started to like it and that's it

A flawless, audiovisual drama that I've never seen so perfect... Without a doubt memorable and iconic
The plot of the story is spectacular, a very well constructed drama that delivers what it promises
It's so remarkable that you can easily remember details, even after months of watching, it's worth it

95/100

Absolutely amazing from all around.

This show is so amazingly well done.
Amazing production and creativity in story telling and camera work
The main 3 actors and specially the actress is so amazing.
She's very beautiful as well
She brought so much to her role since she also had to go through a lot.
She's also very funny. Most of the funny lines came from her.
And other actors also have great chemistry as well and with her. The older brother might put some people off and sometimes might get on people nerves but he's autistic so that's fine.
I hope so see her and the other main actor in more stuff.
I wish it didn't have to end but I did enjoy the story.

it's okay to be not okay

the drama was unexpectedly having addictive personality . the story was a bit of a horror mode for me but i would recommend not to watch some episode at night especially the ones with her house it's a bit freaking and the main male lead was so good the overall acting of the characters were good the story is ok . it is a very deep story about her and it is quite funny to watch the fights between them i would definitely recommend this drama . the best part about this drama is the unexpected twist I'm not reveling much but the most unexpected person will the Gillian of this story like you would not expect that character just has a supporting role so this is a good drama i wold recommend to my friends

A bit boring in the opening but after a while it got very interesting and WILL KEEP YOU HOOKED.

“The first step is always the hardest. But once you take the first step, things will get easier from then on.”

I haven't seen enough k-dramas that talk about mental illness's like this. They focus on one illness; depression but this drama tells there's more to mental illness than depression.
In the start, I liked it but after the third episode I started to feel like it was really boring but as I moved on; I loved it. And it teaches a lot of lesson too such as the struggles children face with possessive parents and how parents can neglect a child without realizing it.
The cast and acting was so amazing ,I fell for Oh Jung Se and his acting. IT WAS AMAZING.
And Ko Moon Young + Gang Tae's chemistry was off the top awesome.

SPOILER ALERT!!
The only thing I disliked was the story of Moon Young's mum was a bit unrealistic. Even if she had so many surgeries, there's no way that she lived for 2 decades on no one knew who she was.

WOOOOOW
Definitely became one of my favourite ever
finally I found something that worth watching with a great epilogue

This drama was soooooo emotional
I enjoyed every second watching it
I even dreamt with many times ?? LOL

The plot was great
The story was solid
It had it all
Comic , drama, romance, anger, villains, psycho issues and how to deal with
But as usual
It's always Mother's fault ??

I only hated the ML acting a little bit, I think he should work more on his facial expressions
The FL was extremely amazing

Jung se was brilliant in his role
And the head Dr was amazing I loved him

I liked that the main leads were clinging to each other and decided to cross anything together

This drama had no cheap repeated cliches

The romance was brilliant and it was in its place really
I had butterflies many many times

The only thing I wished was to see the mother got a proper punishment not just being jailed

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

A perfect balance entertainment of romance, crime/mystery, family drama, comedy.

A perfect balance entertainment of romance, crime/mystery, family drama, comedy.

A well casted show, from the lead cast to the supporting characters.. The plot of the story started as if it was like any other kind of RomCom. In this one, girl meets boy and liked him on the spot. Pursued and annoyed him relentlessly until they became friends.

Both of them, bruised and battered by the past but together they've overcome every obstacles, doubts, fears and insecurities.

It was heart warming too see the relationship between the brothers, the relationship between mother and daughter, even the friendships around the ML and FL. The side stories of the supporting characters were well written, it didn't feel like a bunch of unsubstantial stories pierced together just to create a bigger picture. This one is really worth watching..

HUMAN HEALING DRAMA

Now when i look at it, this drama contains a lot in it, especially when it's a healing drama with containing mental health issues it attracts you to itself.

**STORY**
I loved the plot a lot. It's my first time seeing this kind of drama, so i wad geniunely impressed while watching it.

**ACTING/CAST**
The performance was amazing. The chemistry was overflowing, the way Seo Yeaji portrayed Ko Moon Young and made her a relatable, baddas, and a strong character was perfect. I really liked Kim soo hyun's, Park Gyu young's, Ji Hye-won's acting skills. I also liked how Oh Jung se portrayed an autistic character so perfectly, when you are an amazing actor you are capable of it.

**MUSIC**
Was okay. I don't mind OSTs oftenly lot in dramas.

**REWATCH VALUE**
Listen, i'm not someone who rewatches dramas. But, whenever i feel bored or empty maybe i can rewatch the best trio here, their scenes etc.

Overall, one of the best human healing dramas i can say??

I love it!

It was one of the very first dramas I watched, left a pretty good impression on me (I finished this show about 1 year ago but I recently found out about this app)

I tend to drop shows if they don't interest me between the first 3 episodes, but this one was different, it was interesting since the start

I really loved how the relationship between the FL And the ML (including the brother) developed through out the series, I believe Moonyoung and Sangtae's sibling-like relationship made the drama better

Although I would say Moonyoung sometimes would make me cringe (ex: when whe m0aned in the mental hospital) or when she would touch his abs without Gangtae's permission?, i think that is the only bad thing about the show (for ME)

I would've liked if they showed more about Moonyoung's mom transformation, I believe it would have been awesome if the showed how she managed to even work at the hospital!!

This drama deserves 10/10, so good and I recommed everyone who just started watching kdramas to watch this as one of their first's,it made such an impact on me and made me want to discover more about the Kdrama world.

Thank you IONTBO❤️‍?

a very sweet and relatable show

I have an older brother who is similar to sang-tae from this show. I actually identified with gang-tae this show so, so much. For this reason, I am very greatful this show was made. It brings awareness to a unique family dynamic and the struggles of not only combating mental health issues but also being a caregiver. However, it seems the show hit too close to home and that's why the ending left me dissatisfied. It felt like gang-tae was relinquishing one responsibility for another.
I come back here because I recently watched Twinkling Watermelon, which reminded me of this show. It is great to see such amazing kdramas handle disabilities and mental health so well. Oh Jung Se acted incredibly and I believe this is his best work.

little prince

I remember how much I enjoyed watching the series when it was broadcast.
Although there was some ambiguity about the mother of the main female character, but it had a beautiful and attractive story and script.
I must say about the acting, they were great. The main roles played the characters that were defined for them in the best way.
I feel that the author of the series was inspired by the story of "The Little Prince". In the sense that he mixed deep emotional issues with stories with a juvenile and almost childish tone.
All in all, a series with a special and beautiful story and script in the form of an atmosphere with a bit of a magical feeling along with awesome OSTs

Amazing story which deserves more attention

I am writing this after watching many many kdramas and I could say that there are dramas that you either enjoy watching or you don’t. And then there are dramas like this that manage to impact you and last long in your heart.

Honestly, this is my first kdrama I ever watched because my sister introduced me to it( I watched winter sonata but it was an anime and last episode was real tv, so it doesn't count) IOTNBO has made me feel many things that time and I can’t believe how it impacted me at that time .
I think i agree to KSHLOVE summary about this drama and agree to it .

This drama might be either something you love or you don’t. We all have different stories. But what I’m really sure of is that this drama will always have a special place in my heart. :’)
