Masterpiece

From the first minute I knew it’ll be a 10/10 drama. It was something new and I knew that I’ll like it. It was a journey about self-discovery, healing, loving yourself, accepting you for who you are, overcoming your past and demons, loving others and helping them.

I really liked the fairy tale thingy and how it was included in everything not just because Ko Moon Young is a writer. It was more like ‘reality’ than a fairytale. I also like how KMY approached the topic of fairytales and explained the moral of them in a different perspective. I applaud the actors for their splendid work! They did a great job in portraying their part, especially OJS. I’m not really familiar of him, but his acting was impressive, whenever I saw him acting as MST I think if it was a real person who has autism spectrum disorder is acting. I had to stop and search about him cuz he wasn’t just acting, it was so real. I’m pretty sure he’ll get a lot of awards for this.

And the music/OST just hits differently, every song played was perfect for the scene they were played for. My favorite is In Silence cuz it really hits close to home. I’m addicted to it!

I learned a lot of things from this drama and it opened my eyes about thing I’ve been avoiding, there are a lot of scenes and quotes in IONTBO I enjoyed, especially the scene where MGT said “ I love you. I love you, Ko Moon Young. Yaaahh I said I love you! “ lol it was funny how he is now in her place and she’s the one receiving it.

‘Family is not about blood. ’
‘The bystander is worse than the abuser.’
‘Just because you’re the parent doesn’t mean I belong to you nor does it mean I’m obligated to give you my organ, especially after what you’ve done.’
‘Standup for yourself’
‘Fight your demons, don’t let them hold you back.’
‘Kiss, don’t fight.’ *wink wink*

Overall, every actor‘s part was breathtaking and done professionally. It’s refreshing watching a drama that’s so different from the usual dramas, especially one that talks about our society and addresses a lot of issues beside mental health. Thanks a lot to the writer, director, producer, actors ( main, support and guest) and everyone for producing this amazing drama!
