best korean drama of 2020, period.

"To make the people around me happy, I have to be happy first.’ So being selfish isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If it’s too hard, just think about your own happiness.”

Finally after so long I found another kdrama that stole my breath the second I started watching it. This hasn't happened since my fave kdrama came out (It's Okay That's Love) but the long wait was completely worth it.

The story in this drama is really well-thought, I can't complain about anything. I might be a bit biased but I don't care, I tend to rate things out of enjoyment and how it makes me feel and this gets a 10/10. For me it's 100% worth it from beginning to end, you can see the development of the characters throughout the series and even if I expected some of the plot twists, I still loved how the story developed. The concept of 'healing' kinda made me think about myself and could relate to most of what some characters where going through so in a way it was a healing show to me that gave me happiness whenever I watched it. As Sang-tae tries to remind his young brother; you belong to yourself and only yourself. I belong to myself. You can carry traumas for the longest and it's okay to be sad and to get hurt but you need to let go, being stuck on the past will never give you happiness. Everything depends on you. Such a beautiful lesson I got from watching this. Also, the relationship between the main trio felt so wholesome, they made me cry, laugh and get angry with them. An amount of feelings that gave me a rollercoaster ride every time. I'll always remember them.

Such a good comeback to the drama world from Kim Soo Hyun. I missed him in dramas more than I thought. Amazing acting from him and the rest of the cast. All of them deserve an award, especially, Oh Jung Se... his talent is beyond this world! Being able to interpret an autistic person in such a respectful way, kudos to him. I felt the brother's story and relationship close to home since I've grown up with an autistic family member and I know how hard it can be. Brilliant acting, just mesmerising.
And can't end this without mentioning the amazing OST. I already made a playlist that I keep on replaying and replaying all the time *chef's kiss*.

Congrats to the cast, director and screenwriter for such an amazing work, thank you for such a heartwarming experience.
