A healing show with lots of fun and laughter touching on important topics ?

I absolutely loved this show, quite an easy watch and it's packed with interesting characters. But there are a few problems, let's start with those.

While I agree that she was broken and had issues that she was trying to deal with, she was majorly selfish and wanted everything to be as she wants. She never paid any heed to the well-being of the ML for whatever reason it may be and was always self-centred. That is not love, maybe dependence? I was sympathising with her throughout, but the second last episode just had me done with her. She did not give any chance to the ML, even when he tried to explain it to her nicely also. It just went one step ahead to show her self-centredness once again. Like I said, I understand that she is ill, but that does not justify everything you do in life. She has been horrible to the ML in countless situations and at times it just made me feel like she’s just using him again and again.

Other than that, I loved absolutely everything about this show. The way they’ve handled the sensitive topics of mental health, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, camaraderie, etc. - all the topics have been well handled and nicely conveyed. It’s a fresh breath of air from the usual ‘over-the-top’ ‘trying to fit in’ but extremely problematic mental health related shows like It’s Okay Not to be Okay and many others. Without being as loud and celebratory of mental health issues, the show aptly portrays them, and does so beautiful. There is no over the top hype created which just seems fake. Well balanced and really well executed story-telling and acting.

I quite enjoyed the subtle romance and cute moments between the leads too. While I’m not a fan of the FL, their scenes together (where she was not harassing him) were pretty enjoyable to watch. It’s a really fun watch.

On a side note, the main actress is so so pretty, cannot able. So happy to come across her work. She is a brilliant actress and just so pretty. Would definitely like to watch more of her!

All in all, it’s a good show, with a nice story line and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Not rewatching it since I found quite problems with the FL, but that’s just me personally. It can be overlooked easily and might even be funny for many people. Hope you have a great time watching this and enjoy it as much as I did. Cheers!
