Relatability
It’s been almost 2 months since this show left me and it still resides deeply in me. I haven’t been able to move on to anything else. It’s not that the latest have been bad, my heart just keeps comparing them with this Kdrama and I keep thinking about whether the actors would nail the other roles.
You go through life searching for things that you can relate to so that you can form that special bond. Little did I know back in late June, when I was searching for Kdramas that deal with mental health, that I’d find one that would leave me absolute EMPTY when it left me. Back in June, I ended up having familial problems which deteriorated my mental health hence my search for one. I was pretty sad that no kdramas really fully focused on the effects parents had on a child’s mental health. I decided to randomly start IOTNBO since it had a 9.3 rating at the time. Best. Decision. Ever. The cinematography, OSTs, chemistry, acting, KO MUN YEONG <3 and more were just.... outstanding. Never have I seen a female lead so daring and honest. Never have I seen a Kdrama start off with beautiful animations. Never have I seen a Kdrama focus both on the autistic character and the sibling. I was so excited for the first time since TWOTM ended. I wasn’t fully fully hooked, but it was exciting enough to continue from the first episode. Now, what solidified it as my absolute favorite Kdrama despite flaws? Zombie kid. That story blewwwww my mind away since it described exactly what I felt. Warmth vs only fulfilling a child’s hunger. It displayed all my feelings and it got in touch with my inner child that hadn’t grown. The tears I cried ep 4-5 would’ve been enough for me to bathe in (other episodes did too). Not only did it point out a child’s desire for warmth and love, but it did show how mothers too sacrifice everything to protect their children. I got to satisfy my sadness over feeling like I didn’t receive enough warmth and also open my eyes to the fact that parents also try their hardest to keep us protected and show love in different ways. From that point on, my mental health improved and my relationship with my parents was heading towards restoration. For that, I couldn’t thank this Kdrama enough.
On top of that, the ending episode was by far the most satisfying ending I’ve ever seen. I felt healed despite the gross sobbing. Like I said, this Kdrama has some flaws, but it still overtook any flawless Kdrama out there for now. A 10/10 Kdrama doesn’t have to only be reserved for perfect stories. It’s also reserved for those that touched our hearts the most and made a change. I’d definitely love a special episode seeing my favorite characters. I miss them so much .
