Short: We're all broken, even the ones who take responsibility for fixing us are broken too, and once we accept that then there should no longer be any stigma around that. That's the message here. Brilliantly written and well acted drama, Jung So Min's performance resonated particularly to me. Really enjoyed this, nicely paced and good ending.

Detail:
So i'll start by saying that my view on this might be different to others, not sure what the wider cloud-think is on this one because I haven't looked. For me personally, this drama, and in particular Jung So Min's performance as Han Woo Joo resonated very deeply. Someone close to me has similar symptoms to Woo Joo, she isn't BPD but it's amazing how similar some of the symptoms are and while Woo Joo's were perhaps more severe I've seen and recognise so much of it, seen how much it wrecks her inside also been with her as she got treatment and medication and is now no different to you and I. So... I might be a bit biased on this one, and i'm fine with that!

Jung So Min - someone i've always enjoyed watching, but this was definitely my favourite of her work, by far.

Shin Ha Kyun takes on the role of the Doctor who befriends Woo Joo, starting by treating her and then it develops into something more. If you're squeamish about older man, younger woman (in reality they're about 15 years apart) that might be a struggle for you. Similarly, if you get hung up on the inappropriateness of doctor-patient relationships (which let's face it, are wrong for a reason) then, again, that might be a problem. BUT I did feel that this was handled better then I was expecting and it wasn't glossed over. If you can get over all that, it's all good from there.

There's a lovely heart warming message throughout all of this about how we're not alone, we're all a bit broken, and we should embrace it.

There are numerous other cases throughout, along with the ongoing storyline you have various new things happening in each episode and some of them progress through to others episodes. Kim Dong Youg (Cha Dong Il) is only credited with one episode on MDL but actually is in several and another example of how characters go from being troubled to finding their feet and becoming everything they wanted to be.

Lots of plotlines to keep you interested as the main stories develop. All the characters feel real and have flaws as well as their strengths.

I watched this one as it aired and it was one of my most looked forward to shows each week.

Definitely recommended!
