As a person who is also austistic, I find this show nothing but inspiring to me, even though mines not as bad as Si On's i still empasised with him alot and understood his hardships to its full extent.

When I first found out that the ML is someone suffering from austism it sparked my intrest as I also have it. The story of a autistic boy who lost his older brother to then go on to become a doctor is nothing more than inspirational. The first episode was done very well as it got my intrest in the forst 5 mins and then showing off the skills of Si On at the train station put the drama in a very good place at the get go to become a great drama.

I want to talk about Si On's character first. The actor Joo Won did absolutely amazing dipicting and austistic man. I know for a fact he must of spent a lot of time being with and watching people who suffer from autism becasue for him to display it the way he did he must of cared deeply about the character and not of done a half assed job so I want to thank him on that end for being sincere with the character. When we first get introduced to Si On, we see him in a flashback getting bullied for being different which tore my heart but throughoutu the drama he matured into a fine doctor which is able to look after children to save to thier lives. One thing I loved about him was the enormous heart his had, he is literally the kindest Lead I have seen in a kdrama.

With Yoon Soo, I was very exited for her character because I just got off watching 'Innocent Man' which starred Chae Won as the FL in that drama. From the get go I loved how supportive he was of Si On and how she helped him throughout the drama. Normally in dramas, both leads might have a problem with thier lives but in this one Yoon Soo didn't, so all her time in the drama was either in the hospital or helping Si On with his life. One thing which quite annoyed me was when she rejected Si On in a very passive manner saying they are like brother and sister and then wanted to stay as friends which was a bit selfish but I understood her. She then got jelous of Si On's friend ship with Chae Gyeong which gave her the push she needed to realise her feelings.

With the romance between Si On and Yoon Soo, it was well done becasue in other dramas, they usually kiss alot and act all affectionate with eachother but in this the story had to consider Si On's disabilty and how he can't express his feelings well to other people which I fully understand. So having them only kiss once and hold hands a lot was the right choice in this. This was a very slow burner relationship which I had no problems watching becasue they needed to jumped a lot of hurdles to reach a relationship and it was displayed perfectly.

The two supporting leads in this show are probably my favourite i've seen in a drama. First off with Do Han, at first he was obnoxius due to him pushing Si On down all the time but when I founf out the reason why, it made me understand fully becasue he had a younger brother who was disabled who died after he believed he was okay to be independant and that led to his death, so Do Han was only worried about Si On. I loved how they ended having a brotherly relationship in the end which in some ways they are both taking the place of thier brothers. I really like Chae Gyeong as she was also supportive of Si On and didn't have a bias by listeing to his problems and helping him.

Another character I liked was In Hae, I like how she acted as a friend to Si On and a mediator to Si On's and Yoon Soo's relationship. She was also a very strong character who had to face a lot of problems but overcame them with the help of some characters.

The OST in this show was standard and not many really stood out but they did the job.

If your looking for a show which is very different than the normal kdrama, I really reccomend this. It has a very rewarding slow burner relationship and also has the medical aspect which is realy interesting to watch aswell.
