This shouldn't be funny and yet it is??

I'll be completely honesty, I dismissed this drama on its release as the synapsis just did not appeal to me. I then proceeded to bypass it whenever it came up on my recommended list.

I only decided to give it a try after being caught up on all the other drama's I had been watching, as you can imagine my expectations were low....

Oh what a fool I am! This is such a great watch!! Yet, the most ridiculous thing is that this shouldn't really work.

Its a comedy about mental health, trauma, physical violence, online violence and prejudice - and yes it is a comedy and a good one at that.
This drama finds a way to deal with some very heavy subjects with both realism and humour.

This is a story of two people fighting desperately against their inner demons and trying to find away back to their normal lives.

Oh Yeon Seo and Jung Woo deserve enormous credit for their performances. They managed to convey the depth of their individual traumas and yet inject humour in to so many of there scenes. There chemistry is excellent and as we see the nature of their relationship change and this is also reflected in their chemistry. The one thing that remains consistent is the humour throughout.

The supporting cast provide the segues that allow for the story to develop and whilst we have the necessary villains there screentime is limited. The most valuable supporting cast member is actually Oh Yeon Seo dog! In so many of the interactions or developing storylines the dog is at the centre.

This is a story about two damaged people finding themselves and each other, and in the end I'm so glad I found this story
