Witty And Engaging First Half

As expected, Park Eunbin's 25+ years of experience did not disappoint. The expressions, body language, way of speaking, every little detail suits the character.

Youngwoo is adorable and its all credit to Eunbin's performance. But most importantly, the drama showcases its main character in a respectful and non-dehumanizing way. It got the audience to feel exactly how she feels. It felt like cinematic sensory experience.

The symbol of whales breaking out of the water's surface as Youngwoo's version of lightbulb moment is brilliant. And the accompanying cgi is great. The emotional scenes are also executed well.

But the one major con was the extraordinary first half became quite ordinary on the second half because the production realized halfway through that they can make more money with WYW syndrome so the writing changed to make way for season 2, hence the underwhelming ending.

Overall, this drama is still worth checking out for Eunbin's acting alone. Her daesang from Baeksang Arts Awards proved that. Despite the many actresses, I truly understand why the production waited a year for her. There's a reason why the drama was a hit while the webtoon was not, Her.
Woo Young Woo is a special character, and it can be difficult and uncomfortable for a non-disabled person, but Park Eunbin portrayed her so lovingly.
