A Good Insight On Mental Health
This is a good story with some great, simple messages regarding mental health. It's okay to admit you need health, there is nothing wrong with having issues, acknowledgement is the first step to recovery. And we learn that thanks to our great leads. Han Woo Joo is our POV of someone with severe mental health problems that need fixing but she is still basically a normal person, just like any other. Lee Shi Joon is our voice on how to recover and overcome these problems. He is an extremely friendly Dr who is a bit eccentric but a genius in terms of medicine. And the hook is that he, too, is suffering from Mental Health problems (PTSD). So we have perfectly normal, well adjusted human beings that aren't exactly well themselves. That's a great message to present. Hell, even our main antagonist is just a normal human being that just needs someone to talk to. The rest of the story is really great with the side characters, cases that Shi Joon has to deal with. The romance between the two leads is less love-lovey and more theraputic and helpful, adding to the story rather than it being more for lip service to the industry tropes. The story touches on some sentivie subjects such as suicide in many different ways, family abandoning each other because of mental health, etc. It's all played out with respect and conluded in interesting ways. Sometimes good, sometimes sad.
The acting was strong, Shin Ha Kyun in particular. There is a bit of an age difference, but similar to the themes of the drama, it's done in a respectful way, showing age is just a number if you're good for each other. Jung So Min was good in her role. Whether it was her relationship with Ha Kyun's character or her friend, she was very relatable in any role that was asked of her. Her "episodes" for a lack of a better word captured the vibe of the series as well as you could. It was upsetting at times, fustrating in others but it was always exactly what was required.
Would watch again.
