This review may contain spoilers
Disappointed doesn’t even cover how I feel… pissed, angry that I wasted time on this.. angry the writer wasted such potentialI thought this was a cute “family” bonding between the three characters, then I saw the kid and I thought the more the merrier, but this did not only take it through the typical “falsely accused”, it was so sloppy, so unfinished, so cheap, agh
Ml was also more fit for a 5 year old mindset than 8, 8 year olds are so communicative

A Potentially Problematic Tale
Why do I feel like Eun Ji was inspired by Mathilda from Leon?This is a drama about the intellectually handicapped man wrongly accused of s=xual assault of the little girl he was friends with, and the consequences that come with the societal shame that ruins his life and cuts the ties with the people who communicated with him before. It's definitely on the tear-jerker side as it's supposed to show how certain people are defenseless in front of the world if there is no one ready to help. But, honestly, if there was no evidence proving Seok Gu's innocence, how else would you expect the society to react?
🔸The final shot with Seok Gu looking into the camera and breaking the 4th wall should've never happened. For the ending to be more tear-jerking, it would be much more effective if the camera was far away from him showing his unprotectedness to the world. Breaking the 4th wall you are asking for action, but for which one? Legally, the issue was resolved pretty fairly. Socially, there are enough real s=xual perpetrators already that were let slide because nobody believed they could commit such crimes. I don't think you should have strong faith in each and everyone's innocence, if you're asking us for that.
