Honestly, I love this show for its attempt to normalize mental health struggles. The fact that the psychiatrist characters themselves also have previous trauma / their own mental journeys played a huge role in driving the message that "Everyone is a little bit sick. It requires a sick person to recognize another sick person." (an early quote in the drama). I'm happy that the kdrama scene is treating mental illness seriously and is making many shows normalizing the healing journey -- Soul Mechanic and It's Okay to Not Be Okay, for example.

The main line of mutual healing and overcoming the past is very well-done in this drama, as it is in Korean dramas in general. Everyone's recovery journey is reasonable and believable, and the writers really got us rooting for even the ones who might seem like bad guys at first.

However, there is one major flaw in the story line, and it is the main couple. I get that transference is a common treatment step in borderline personality disorder, but the chemistry is just not there??? So that really lowered the enjoyment level for me. I also couldn't see any other significance of the Gongbap little sister's role other than messing it up for everyone with the things she does -rolls eyes-

The acting is super on point though. Especially Jung So-min's role as a BPD patient. I've never seen her play a role like this before, and I think it greatly expanded her repertoire of potential characters. Despite her annoying character setting, she really made her character come alive and win the audience's hearts. All the older actors were amazing too -- no matter good or bad guy.

I don't think I would watch this again. But if I did, I would rewatch it for Dr. Noh. He cute.
