Naw

Ok so everyone loves this drama but I actually depise it... It makes me so angry. With the discussion of mental health being so stigmatized in South Korea, I understand that the drama tries to normalize conversations about Mental Health, illnesses, and other disorders. Its right in the name. " it's okay to not be okay." I understand.

All of that goes right out of the window when you realize that NONE of the main characters take the step to see a mental health professional. Treatment is reserved only for zany Side characters who are used as cardboard cutouts to move the plot along.

The FL does things that would either put regular people in jail or in a madhouse.... but the show brushes off her behavior? I've seen so many people gushing over the locker room scene but that was NOT COOL. If the sexes had been reversed I wonder what everyone would be saying.

All three of the leads have SERIOUS issues and none of them ever really do anything about it. Yeah your mental anguish makes you interesting so don't do anything about it!
