dissapointment

What I liked about this drama:

- the idea that the patient himself/herself is the best doctor and the best medicine - that you need to treat yourself well in order to live well (it seems simple, but in real life it's really not so obvious)

- the importance of finding a not so obvious passion and that passion serves other people (FL thought she is destined to be a musical star, but she finds joy of life in using her talent in psychodrama and thus helping sick people get better)

What I didn't like:

- some patient - doctor relations are at least disturbing

- the idea of romance between a psychiatrist and his patient is highly wrong and unethical, despite the fact the we - the viewers - believe in purity of ML (that also makes the script artificial - nobody in the right mind could approve such a thing... if it wasn't a tv fairy-tale... It's pretty weird to watch thou, how the rest of the doctors in the hospital are fine with such a relationship)

- the romance between two main protagonists is SOOO unbelievable that even script writers have problems to pull it off and thus we only have some talking bout love, but NO real dates, etc. - It kinda feels like the "romance" is here, cause they were too scaried to make a drama without it, even if it's completely unnecessary or even unethical due to the doctor-patient issues.

- for the whole show I felt that FL is far more annyoing/irritating than actually sick and her story is too watered down and has no good tempo

- other unnecessary romances (including a love triangle of 3 psyhiatrists in which every one of them doesn't confess his/her feelings... just beacause) - all pretty boring and giving no real depth to characters, their past, etc.

- the issue of using a patient "as a medicine" to help a ML get over his trauma for his patient suicide. Very sick and disturbing idea.

Overall, I was pretty dissapointed with the end result.
