Really Love it! - Mostly…

This was excellent. The acting, the music, production, the story - all great! Definitely will rewatch several times. Had it not been for one major flaw this could easily have been one of my go-to dramas.

I really loved this drama EXCEPT for the 2nd ML character. Had he not been a therapist -and even more so the ML’s, at that - his character would have been little more than the usual annoyance. HOWEVER, his malpractice and ABUSE of his patient was absolutely unpleasant to watch. He literally used his therapist role (one which requires complete doctor-patient trust) to try to keep the ML from the FL, and not because he truly believed their relationship was unhealthy, but simply because he was jealous and wanted her for himself. A patient’s weaknesses were used against him by his own therapist. How could that possibly be okay and go unpunished?!?! I’m completely appalled by this aspect of the story. The therapist was literally trying to hurt his patient due to his selfishness. He saw the ML struggling and getting worse but did nothing to step in and help (or warn others to do so) despite having previously used the excuse of not being able to walk away from a patient in need to force his way into the ML’s home, just to keep the leads apart of course. He never even tried to address the source of the problem. No, he used drugs to treat the symptoms and left it up to the FL to resolve the true source of the ML’s illness. Not only should his license have been revoked but I wish he would have even been locked up for abuse of his patient.

Otherwise the show was surprisingly great. Yes, the grandfather was an ass, but we’ve seen similar or worse in c-dramas so it wasn’t particularly shocking. And again, the music was beautiful. Jasper and FL both did an excellent job.
