Good start, weak end
The show starts of great, with a fairly good plot, decent leads and by and large the best asian child actor/role I have seen so far.
It goes on for a whiel with the usual woes of arranged marriage and family building and such, and it works pretty well. HGer psychology role could have been shown better and to a larger extend, but it's mroe of a 'wonder why they don't show more about that' when watching instead of a 'it's bad that they don't show more' thing.
The prolem comes near the end, when their slow burn romance finaly blossoms and theyg et together after ltierally 3/4 of the show is already over, and then they break up again after less than an episode.
And the problem is not only that, romance tkaing a backseat worked decently wel lfor the first 3 quarters. The problem is on why they break up, with the usualy brain numbingly stupid amnesia and arrnaged marriage cliches, plus the classic 'I can't tell oyu anythign abotu it, but doing that for your own good' bullcrap.
And to make matters even worse, one of exactly 2 things the FL actually does in psychology in the whole show up to then, and was also shown to take great commitments and risks to push it through, was to face problems and get help for psychological issues instead of ignoring them.
Instead the FL doesn't communicate with the ML, and breaks up during an already very difficult time ofthe ML's life, all in the slim hope that he wouldn't need to face his past trauma. Instead of, you know, help him work through it, like she literally risked her job and physical injury before to get the mother of a random patient of hers to get help for her condition.
And it's not just a short situation either, it goes on for multiple episodes. Overall it made me really disgusted with the FL, and hoenstly wished the ML would find osmeone better who doesn't intentionaly hurt him in multipel ways whiel intentionaly working against one of the few thigns she was shown to know and care abotu for her profession as frigging DOCTOR OF PSYCHOLOGY.
