I had a love-hate relationship with this show the entire time. I like JHI and CSB, so I started watching with high expectations, but dropped the show after two episodes. The start of the drama was very confusing. They introduce Jisoo, who is the catalyst for the plot. The way they brought her into the story was... creepy. She's a bit strange too. All her lines were vague and left me with a lot of questions. I guess they were trying to make viewers curious about the plot and build up hype for the later episodes, but I hated it and dropped the show.

I picked it back up again because I was bored. I had no expectations while watching the first half of the show, because I didn't think the drama was that great. I watched this alongside "When The Weather Is Fine", and enjoyed that way more. (They have different vibes but if you're debating between the two, watch that instead lol) But, I can say that this got better as the show progressed. Seeing how different people deal with love & death was interesting.

At first, I liked the combination of slice of life & technology. I've seen Jung Hae In in "similar" dramas (Something in the Rain & Spring Night), but the AI aspect was unique and somewhat refreshing. But as the drama progressed, the idea of the device became a little ridiculous to me. I couldn't look past how unrealistic it was. Slice of life & unrealistic tech? Not a good mix.

Another thing that bothered me was Moon Soonho. She's nosy for no reason, and I thought they'd give us more background on her so we'd empathize with her character but nope. I don't think she added anything to this show. Her scenes annoyed me most of the time.

I grew to love everyone at Eunjoo's Homestay, where Seowoo lives. It reminded me why I chose to stay at a similar place during college. The people living at the homestay have vastly different personalities, but eventually become a family. The homestay was one of the best parts of the show - it's where all the character development happened.

I have many complaints about A Piece Of Your Mind, but I'm a sucker for slice of life so I kept watching. I wouldn't call this a "healing" show because it wasn't healing for me personally, but it's a show about healing. Everyone faces slumps at some point of their lives. This drama shows how people accept the past and move on. I could relate to it because I recently got myself out of a huge slump and finally picked myself up again after years of shutting myself out of the world. The acting, aesthetics & OSTs are decent, but I don't think I would recommend this to others. JHI & CSB were cute but there are better dramas out there.

As much as I complain about it, I was surprised by its low ratings. I feel bad that the show was cut short, but I can't imagine how boring it would've gotten with 4 more episodes.

As a final note: JHI's good at these kinds of roles, but pls try something different next time. I'm BEGGING;;;
