A delightfully different drama. Queen Cho Yeo Jung is perfect in this type of drama. If you like this, watch Cheat On Me If You Can. It's absolutely hilarious.

I read that they will have this sequence. My expectation whilst watching Chao's unravelling was: great, Chao will go to a hospital, they will get to the root of his problems and he will get better. But the portrayal of the private psychiatric hospital was directly from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest or worse. If you're sensitive or lack knowledge about real mental health care, maybe it's better to avoid this drama. None of the methods used (binding, isolation, electric shocks, noise torture) in those episodes are legal or in actual use today's healthcare. I was very irritated by the ridiculousness of the portrayal of those instutions which in reality are of course closely supervised by relevant authorities even if they're private like the one here.

I liked this until ep 10. Then it got too unrealistic. Too much screentime for bullies/bullying for my taste. The antagonists were cartoonishly bad, which is something that I'm tired of. I gave 7.0 for the effort. About the psychiatric hospital episodes, below.

Yes, she said they were more than friends, they were family. Aka a couple. It is shown pretty clearly e.g. in the last episode flashbacks.

thanks!

agreed

Very high quality drama

if reading comments ruins your mood, don't read comments. Love ahead. After 500 k-dramas you'll be expecting or even demanding something innovative.

The Douban score will be around 3.0-3.8. Never trust MDL ratings, it's mainly 15 yr olds

ZLH has so much lipstick, it's obviously uncomfortable, lip-drying and that's why. I like ZLH a lot btw

they say money laundering operation. joke of course but where did the money go.

not ever wearing a hat XD. 3.0 is where Douban scores will get set.

yes, what's the fuss about AI. Dialogues and immersive storytelling are everything.

that is true. He seems to be thinking "why am I here". He was good also in The Story of Kunning Palace. I know people disagree about what is good acting, but his acting here is not good and how could it be as the script and lines are ridiculous.

20 minutes is enough to see the ingredients of a drama. The quality of dialogues, cinematography, pacing. Sticking around and waiting means there's never enough time to watch the really great dramas (ones that are award worthy). Strongly agree about Silent Tides. Republican era in the context of Overdo means nothing but clothing style. I'd recommend The Guardians, War of Faith, Lost Identity, and Fearless Blood for absolutely great Republican era dramas.

The discussion is typical bloody MDL fan warfare. If you really like to know what people think of Overdo, you can check out cdrama reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/CDrama/comments/1v0gwiq/overdo_%E8%BF%99%E4%B8%80%E7%A7%92%E8%BF%87%E7%81%AB_2026_what_are_your_first_impressions/

I've watched PoJ twice and loved also The Story of Kunning Palace. ZL can act, but Overdo is just so bad and I blame the director and script. Overdo is unintentionally comic over the top makjang. With torturous overdone background music on top.

after 10 mins of ep 2, I couldn't continue with this. What you say is most likely accurate. The writer wrote Jang Ok Jung, that was old skool and slow (from today's perspective, but unfortunately creativity doesn't grow in trees). I sat through it bc of Yoo Ah In.

chaebols, politicians & corruption - seems that k-dramaworld can't do without these, regardless of genre. It's so old to me. However, I like Yang Se Jong, always. I wish Park Eun Bin's face didn't have so much filters (or whatever it is that makes her look almost faceless).

GaroSatan's paw, pls block me
