You Are My Missing Piece (2022)

Meh!

I had high hopes for this when I first read about its synopsis. But I am DISAPPOINTED! The main thing that attracted me was the story and the mental illness of both characters. I was interested as there is not many drama that adopt such issues.

However, all the expectations was crushed once I started watching it. The first ep was okay..showing their struggle and their willingness to face it but it kept getting worst as it goes. This drama should have been titled on petty revenge games rather than OCD and depression cause the 6 episodes portrays just that. All the time people are trying to beat the ML and people harassing the FL. This is it. Like the illnesses they have are just highlights of the drama not the main plot.

It is only 6 episodes and they had to write the plot like this?

It could've been better if the story addressed the real issue and show how they genuinely combat it. The connection between the ML and FL could be the key for the recovery. For example, the girl helps to fight his OCD and the boy helps the girl for her depression. They seek therapy and all those things and become a motivation for eo. That would have been better. The half part of ep 4 was great showing the struggles of the FL but then the other half is back to the stupid revenges.

So in summary, only ep 4 ek ep 6 were worth watching.

Too many antagonists are this story's downfall.

This sounded like a 10/10 drama from the synopsis alone. I was even more hopeful after watching the trailer. Episode 1 was as wholesome and heartfelt as I expected it to be, if not more.

But from then on as the antagonists are introduced, it went downhill. The amount of antagonists are this story’s downfall. There’s just too much for a 6 episode story. Even if the MCs didn’t have any mental conditions, the amount of antagonists in this story would make almost anyone snap and be on the edge. Even as a viewer, it was just too much for me to sit through. It would have been better if the writer narrowed it down to at most two types of antagonists for both MCs and dialed down their intensity. Instead, they shoved in as many kinds that they could possibly fit into the story and dialed them up to 10.

I dropped this around ep 4 where the MCs’ support systems started to be more vocal, but I can’t bring myself to see how it all ends at the moment. I’m somewhat sure the MCs will get a happy ending, and I might come back to watch ep6 at some later time.
