It also helps that the drama has been establishing from the beginning that Jung In is the original trouble maker and rule breaker in her family. She was in a steady relationship for so long that she mellowed out. Now, her rebellious side is making a comeback. It gets spurned on even more by how much of a martyr Ji Ho is willing to be, he has more or less given up on his life and doesn't want to create any problems for anyone. It's the perfect combination of contrasting personalities and circumstances. I love the winter to spring theme as well. It ties in very neatly with the atmosphere and the mood of the drama.

Her blindness could have been the reason for it. Her other senses were more heightened and she was able to detect Kim Dan as an angel. That would have made way more sense than this ridiculous childhood connection. They met for all of 2 min. I don't even understand why a random short encounter has to be so important, even though it was touching. But still, hinging the whole plot on it is very far fetched. Especially considering this theme is continuously over-used in one k-drama after another. Writers could have chosen something more original, they do deserve this much criticism over the plot choices.

It was so random, gah, writer/director really need to figure out pacing and providing information at the right time. Like some hints on who the Elena lady is in the first place.

Totally agree. An accident or incident would have made so much more sense and would have been a lot more chilling than this cartoonish showdown. It would have been like the universe was against it, so some natural disaster/accident/incident happened, the fates intervened in a natural way. I dunno why k-drama writers are so lame majority of the time *face palm* I have already been struggling as it is with Yeon Seo and Kim Dan's childhood connection. Why do all k-drama leads need some ridiculous childhood connection. Supremely lazy and cliched writing.

I'm more perplexed by why Kang Woo's dead GF looked like Yeon Seo. She died 15 years ago so Yeon Seo definitely isn't her reincarnation. There are so many random supernatural things in this drama that make little sense. I hope future episodes start clarifying things. Agreed, I'd really like Nina's story to have a point. She did have that instant connection with Kang Woo. I hate the pointless second female lead trope. It's great when the side characters have a purpose and plot of their own.

This week's episodes were more of the same. We got Kang Woo's backstory and the tiniest bit of plot development. That's about it.

since the male lead has face blindness and can't see her when she's dolled up with straight hair. She's pretending to be someone else and tricking him. Up to now, it does seem like he likes her for her kindness and her personality. On the side, he's realizing he has feelings for her secretary in her original state.

Partially true, I'd say. The female lead is indeed considered plain because of glasses and frizzy hair, and also because of her utilitarian office shoes and wardrobe. But the male lead's reasons for liking her a bit more complicated than that

Completely agree. I have been thinking the same thing. He either knew that his chances of inheriting the disease from his father are very high and that conversation with his stepmother was based on this. Or what is a lot more likely is that he got his diagnosis a while back, and not in the beginning of the drama. This would also explain his indifferent attitude towards his wife. He's purposefully pushing her away as he doesn't plan on ever telling her the truth. His symptoms got a lot worse in the 2nd episode and that's why he visited the doctor as a followup checkup then. By the way, this hasn't yet been clarified in the 3rd or 4th episode.

That getting divorced can be so tricky and difficult in Korea, if both parties are not willing. This fact never came across to me before, and it made me think about how it would be in other Asian countries, and I realized, it wouldn't be any easier in same situation where both parties are not agreeing to the divorce. I can think of plenty of countries where it would be harder in fact. So in that sense, the drama is very eye opening.

Maybe its just me who never realized this before, but the one interesting aspect of this drama for me is...

I'm revising my theory after watching the 4th episode. Both the husband and wife clearly still love each other (based on husband saying he loves his wife too much, and that's the problem. Also based on wife's reaction). The husband most likely got his diagnosis a while ago, and not in the 2nd episode. His symptoms probably got a lot worse in the 2nd episode. Ever since his diagnosis, he's been purposefully distancing himself from his wife as he doesn't want her to take care of him as the disease progresses. And he doesn't want to pass the disease on to his children, so he's completely adamant on not having any. This would explain his indifferent attitude for most of the time. Sometimes, he does forgets things as has been shown from 1st episode and that would come off as rude indifference too.

I was recommended to watch Hello Monster because it has some of the same elements as He's Psychometric (which I was crazy about and has very interesting and unique relationship dynamics, both platonic and romantic). You can try He's Psychometric (if you haven't already seen it). I'm about to start watching Hello Monster for the same reason :)

Game of Thrones, there were some articles comparing the visual backdrop and story elements of the drama to it.

Please mark this as a spoiler. P.S. that's a solid theory

She's the most solid character in this drama tbh

Yep, that's the weakest point of this drama *facepalm*

Whoa. I need to pay more attention to these tiny details, lol

That is very perceptive of you. I wonder if he's an angel on the same team/side as Kim Dan.

I'm laughing so hard at this, there's something about putting all those insanely ridiculous coincidences in one paragraph. Good Lord, do these writers even realize what they are writing. Dramas need to realize that we like dramas with no childhood connection way more, period.
