Your unusual Korean Drama that you should add on your watch lists!

I know that there are some K-dramas that doesn't go with the typical Korean formula (e.g. chaebol/heir - ordinary person romance; Historical and Fantasy genre; Hallyu status; etc.); but this drama is really something. A series that raises concerns about mental health is one of the best Korea had ever produced.

The story is simple - 2 past acquaintances with dark histories met again and ends up overcoming the past they have left behind. The real spice of this drama are the actors - As for KSH, what a comeback for him and yes, he still got it! SYJ also proved in this drama that she's really a top actress (also her wardrobe is absolutely stunning and gorgeous! she's like a bold Jang Man Wol). But the real show stealer is Oh Jung Se - giving a phenomenal performance as an autistic brother of KSH. There are no skippable moments in this drama! The hospital and patients scenes gave some motivation to the lives of Sang Tae, Gang Tae, and Mon Young. They also used some fairy tales and stories in the series to parallel the events that happened in the episodes. Each are summarized by the story that the trio narrates, most notably - Mon Young.

Although the drama seems perfect, 1 thing I like to emphasized is they don't use the other characters well in some points. Like isn't it strange that there is no romantic relationship between Sang-in (CEO) and Moon Young? or even Sang-in having a feelings for Mon-young? I think he can be a potential third wheel for the couple. Also her mother - I don't want to spoil but I don't like the plot twist in the last episodes.

Will all those shortcomings, it still doesn't ruin the quality of the drama. I'm looking forward for this drama to bag numerous award (OJS may also won a DAESANG!).

I know that not all will like this drama since the majority prefer a rom-com series but I swear, there are still scenes that are really hilarious (some are dark humors of Moon Young) so I really hope to give it a shot!
1 word to summarize this drama- MASTERPIECE

STRESSFUL YET ENJOYABLE

This is my gateaway korean drama and walla! Thanks to this I am now a korean drama addict LOL!

The very reason that I watched this drama is not because someone recommended it, but I found the premise a bit strange although it has still some of the cliches, the writers add some spice to it, eg. the main leads used to be siblings LOL!

I really enjoyed the first half of the show, as it is not your classic forced romance, well it is understandable because of the longevity of the drama. The romance plot on its first half now shifts with its family themed drama and I'm still okay with that. However, on the last parts of the show, there are still many plot holes on different characters, especially with the main leads. I'm totally okay with the concept of the show's ending since I'm not really fond of the typical hapilly ever after romance but I really think that it can be done better, it can add more minutes in the last episode.

The very reason why I enjoyed the show is because of the lead's phenomenal acting, This drama made me a SHS fan because of her acting prowess and his performance in this drama is top-notch! If she cries, you will cry. If she laughs, you will laugh because of her natural acting skills. PSH, on the other hand, really portray his character well as a chaebol who falls in love to her 'former sibling' (STILL LOL!) and gives up his wealthy lifestyle to cope up with SHS's turned miserable life.

The OSTs are also a great factor in the drama as it will really ignite the scenes and your emotions if you hear it playing.

With all of this. I would recommend this drama to those who loves Romance-Family genre since of its nice balancing of themes. It will also teach you different lesson in life and no doubt that you will love your family more after watching this. However, because of its lengthiness, I would not recommend it to those who loves fast-pace drama but if you like the opposite, you will enjoy this and will drive you watching because of its mixture of comedy, romance, and emotional scenes.
