Wayyyy too overhyped

I somewhat enjoyed this drama, especially during the first few episodes but after a while it just starts falling flat. I understand that the cases are a big part of the show but it started feeling like they were focusing way too much time on them to the point that all the other plot points and character development of the other characters (except Youngwoo's) were being left to the side. Like, the Tae sumi's and the Hanbada CEO rivalry??? like we dont even know why on earth she hates tae su mi so much???

Also the other characters, why dont we know a single thing about the main character's love interest, Junho? Like alright, he's sweet and caring but that's literally it. He doesn't have a plot he's just there being Youngwoo's boyfriend who ocassionally has to deal with other people being ableist towards her and get mad on her behalf, while she just passively stands there not knowing what to do even though she's a 27 year old woman who has had to deal with all of this and more for her entire life. And that's another problem i have which is that we never see her standing up for herself, and the only time we do is because Suyeon literally told her what to do and say to Min woo, and then he continued being an asshole to her who out of nowhere got something of a badly done redemption arc???? And he didn't even start trying to be nice beacause he reflected and realized he was being a piece of shit, it was literally because Suyeon liked him and he wanted to be the type of guy she liked, which is ridiculous.

There's a lot of other things that i have problems with in this show, specially the fact that the main premise of it its a very stereotypical portrayal of autistic people, with the whole genius and perfect memory thing and other things in general, but overall, yes, i still pretty much enjoyed the show but i feel like the people reviewing it on here are being way too nice about it and making it out to be something that it's not.

Ok, first of all the soundtrack for this was amazing i loved these songs. Now, i was really expecting more from this drama, especially beacause all the hype it had, but it was kinda dissapointing to be honest. I was expecting so much more from the story because, c'mon the plot sounds very interesting. Throughout the show the plotline just falls flat, like if you're expecting for some plot points to be explained or make sense by the end of the show then you're gonna be in for some shit. The story had so much potential but by the end it just forgets entirely about it and starts relying completely in the characters and their relationships, and that's ok in some dramas but you're not expecting that here! Like some stuff that happens makes no sense and what happened to Deokhwa?? his story was inconclusive and he was so interesting, my favorite character.

Also, yeah the relationship between the leads can be uncomfortable or a turn off to some people, specially when he treats her so much like a kid sometimes. Like i get it, she is but bro don't remind us that much if u want this to work for your audience 💀.

Overall i enjoyed the drama a lot but i gotta accept that it's very very far from perfect, and that's ok!
