Realistic love story and no mental illness stigma!

Bravo. Shin Hye-sun and Lee Jin-wook are amazing and they delivered a beautiful and intimate performance, pairing wonderfully together.

The show did a great job depicting the different sides of love, good and bad- tough decisions trying to balance family and romantic love, things not working out, stubborn stances, pride and letting go of it, allowing yourself to love and be loved... As in life, no character was without faults and without making regretable choices. I liked how instead of dwelling on blame, they moved forward to where they should be in a sincere and loving way.

Some criticize the DID depiction. DID is multifaceted and very different for each person it affects. Much of it is internal and so it is hard for physicians, friends, and families to grasp, let alone portray on a show. Kudos for bringing it up and for not having the characters and audience treat a person with DID in a pathetic, assylum oriented, or pitiful way. Eun Ho/ Hyeri didn't feel like a product of an illness. As a friend of someone with DID and who was treated as a specimen rather than himself, I truly appreciate that.

Loved the cast, cinematography, story line, messages, etc. Great balance between main/side stories and present/flashbacks. I am very glad I watched it and recommend it!
