I'm not even sure why I started watching this drama as there was little fanfare or hype.  I am so glad I did, although it would have been a LOT easier if I'd picked it up after it had finished airing.  Waiting every week between episodes was torture!

I agree with all the gushing comments, so I won't bore you with my personal version.  I will just say that this drama is in the running for my favorite drama of all time, neck and neck with Reply 1988.

The only disappointment for me was where Bo Mi ended up when all was said and done.

Anyway, bravo and thanks to everyone involved in this drama!

I have to leave a review mid-way through the drama - It's so good!

I don't write many reviews on MDL, but this drama is so good I had to write something down about it. I really don't know know much about autism spectrum disorder other than what I learned watching Love on the Spectrum. But it seems that Park Eun Bin has really nailed the portrayal of Woo Young Woo, with all the little quirks that apparently come with ASD: liking things lined up and organised, her little ritual for going through doors, etc. Her mannerisms really seem to be in line with how someone with ASD would act; if this is not the case then my apologies.

The writing is also amazing. I'm really not that into the legal procedural stuff so don't have much of an opinion on that. I am mostly interested in the interactions between the various characters, and those interactions are amazing. I cannot wait to learn more about how these characters ended up where they are.

Perhaps I'm an old softie, but I find myself with tears in my eyes at least a couple times an episode; sad tears, poignant tears, happy tears, touched tears! It's been a while since a drama has played my emotions like this. The crazy thing is that it's not heavy-handed at all (or at least doesn't feel that way; perhaps the writers know exactly what they are doing!)

The last thing I'll say is that I am already rewatching episodes and I started watching this show less than a week ago. This show is crazy!

I'm going to be honest: I started watching this because after seeing Jung Yu Mi in Youn's Kitchen, I wanted to see her in an actual dramatic role. I watched Live, but while she was amazing in that show, it was so dark and she smiled so infrequently, it didn't really scratch the itch.

With this is mind, I started watching Que Sera Sera which was apparently her first main role. I must say I'm not disappointed: she is cute as a button in this show. And while I came for Yu Mi, I've stayed for the ridiculous plot twists and the 2000s background music. I've only seen a few episodes, but so far it's shaping up to be pretty interesting.

I've heard this is a pretty "adult" kdrama; I don't know if its true, but I have seen more actual passion in the first 2.5 episodes than I've seen in 20 typical kdramas combined.

Anyway, this is an early review and I'll try to update it when I've seen more episodes and can say more.
