I understood the genre just fine. My criticism is about execution, not confusion. If pointing out weak narrative…
You literally said: "I could not figure out what genre they were aiming for—was it horror, psychological, or romance? "
They used all of these, except maybe horror because that was just her movie. This isn't a typical cutesy romcom. This is a Drama, Psychological, Romance and Comedy. The exaction was just fine. Maybe you just wanted Romance and Comedy but that's not their fault.
I don't care if you like it or not, that's your opinion and taste, but so many people act as if the writers didn't know what they wanted. Most of you thought this is another copy and paste full romcom, even tho the trailer already spoiled the darker elements of the drama. Not to mention, 99% of the Kdramas always use multiple genres. Even romcoms.
For example: "Lovely Runner" was a Romcom, Thriller and Sci-fi but I didn't see anyone blaming the writer for that even though it was a really weak script.
"Can they listen, absolutely. However, their suggestions could harm you as again, they are likely not qualified…
True, but that's why I said, at the end of the day, the heavy lifting is done by the family or someone else close to the patient. Doctors are there to diagnose, that's basically all they do.
Sure, I can't diagnose anyone, I'm not a doctor, but in many cases you can help a mentally ill person without a doctor. Unless it's a really serious problem and they need medication or something else.
People with DID, like FL, usually have to live in hospice care. Unless it's not as serious or the doctor just doesn't care. Like I said, my friend has DID for 20+ years and he has to take shots every month.
He didn't have any childhood trauma or anything like that, so no one knows why or how his DID developed.
As I said, every case is different, and that's why I think Muhui's case is not unrealistic.
they need him to say exactly what he feels or else they don't understand. children in need of spoon-feeding
Yes, sadly. I get if people don't like it, but blaming the writers and characters is insane. Also, it's not like in typical romcoms the romance isn't dragged out for "decades". Even if they get together in the last couple of episodes the writer usually breaks them apart before the finale.😂 At least that didn't happen in this one.
People do dumb things, especially in a relationship, so this was pretty realistic. Especially if we understand that both have personal problems, and one is a huge star too. I was actually surprised they didn't make a big fuss in the media about their dating. I was waiting for that plot but not in a good way.
He was cautious because she is an actress and that might case a stir in his personal life. Also because he was…
Most people can only see the surface, that's why romcoms are the most watched Kdramas. They don't have to think about the story that much. Sad, really.
I'm sorry, but I'm so done with people blaming Muhui and calling her irritating, because keep chasing Hojin. Why are Kdrama fans such hypocrites?
Hojin literally asked her out in Japan, when she had the accident, she visited her 3 TIMES, and asked about her from her manager. That's not something a random guy does to someone who he doesn't like. Let's not act as if he didn't send her mixed signals. He had nothing to do with the other woman, he just loved her, it was more like an obsession than love. That's all. It was clear since the 1st EP that he already liked Muhui, he was just in the denial phase. That's why he kept rejecting her.
He kept saying he doesn't want anything from Muhui, yet he always kept looking after her, helped her etc.
We should make a betting site for Kdrama fans. I could win so much money because of the protective fangirls.😂
"Can they listen, absolutely. However, their suggestions could harm you as again, they are likely not qualified…
I know it's different, and neither can help more than a family member or a friend. Doctors don't care about you, and don't know you at all. The mentioned examples above are the proof.
I'm not saying every doctor is crap, but saying family members can't help someone with mental illness is ridiculous. At the end of the day, it's family who keep protecting and helping the person, not doctors. They only see the doctor once in a while.
That's why I don't like or even hate when people praise doctors in cases like this, because the heavy lifting is done by the family, and that's a fact.
I mean, if you have a good family or friends who care about you. If you don't have anyone, well, you're pretty much fcked. Just like our FL was till she met our guy.
That's why I said it's not unrealistic, it's just not usual.
"Can they listen, absolutely. However, their suggestions could harm you as again, they are likely not qualified…
It doesn't matter if you call me out or not, it won't change my opinion. I've had multiple encounters with the so called EXPERTS and all they do is ask for money, sit in a room for an hour and that's all.
You can be ignorant and think doctors can solve everything by listening to you, but family and friends can do that for free. There's literally no difference between the two other than doctors aren't free. I have a friend who has DID, and after 20+ years they still haven't helped him at all, he just has to take his medicine and that's all. And no, he still has big problems with his DID. My 8 year old nephew had metal health issues as well, my sister paid for a doctor, he struggled to be with other kids. The doctors said it's nothing serious, he's just too young, he will grow out of it. After he left that school, he's totally fine.
I can mention 100s of cases when doctors didn't help their patients, they made their health issues worse. Including my own grandmother's. So let's not act as if talking to a doctor can solve everything.
You said "Close relatives are likely not qualified to understand what it takes to treat you."
But the funny thing is, they're more qualified than any other doctor, because they know you.
For new viewers: Turn on the ENGLISH sub on Netflix, not the ENGLISH CC.
Also, ignore the comments, because most people are only trashing the show because they thought this is a typical cute romcom, even tho the trailer already spoiled its dark side as well. It's a romance and a comedy, but also a realistic drama about real life struggles and mental health issues and childhood trauma.
So, no, this is not just a fun, fluffy romcom. I don't get why people act as if Kdramas always had 1 genre.
If you can handle slow-burn romance, a dark past, and real life struggles with a story that is a bit more complex than a usual romcom, this is for you. If you can't, just skip it now. You can find 100s of copy and paste romcoms anyway.
I'm honestly finding it hard to take your advice cos these comments are really negative. its as if the show is…
99% of the negative comments are about the fact that it's not a typical cutesy romcom. Most romcom lovers don't like real-life dramas about real people and complex stories. Not sure why they thought it was another typical romcom when the trailer already spoiled the dark turn.
There’s someone in this comment section suggesting people who suffer from mental health issues should just skip…
"Can they listen, absolutely. However, their suggestions could harm you as again, they are likely not qualified to understand what it takes to treat you."
Just because someone has a PhD and is listening to your problems for money, doesn't mean they can do a better job than people around you. They might be more qualified on paper, but their "suggestions" can harm you as well. Not to mention, they don't know you at all. So, how can a doctor help you if they don't know you and care about you? If they care about their patients they should work for free, not just prescribe medicine. That's the opposite of help, actually.
You completely misunderstood the story, so I'm not surprised by your review.
If you can't figure out what genre they were aiming for, you should stop watching shows and movies in general I think. That's the most basic thing. I don't even want to talk about the rest.
I don't care if PSH has to play a girl in her 20s, because she eats this role up like nothing. It's funny, intriguing, and if you lived in the 90s like me, and love complex stories, this drama is for you.
Sometimes it's cringe, but in a funny way, and it's cringe on purpose unlike many dramas.

It was like the worst table tennis match ever.😂
Jokes aside, you know why she didn't have the courage. That's the whole Dorami exists.
