You don't always have to be bleeding for it to be an emergency.
A story about healing each other made kind of messy, but still works. I liked this drama since the 1st ep. aired and I will continue to do so forever. I, as a BPD patient myself, have felt this drama in a really personal way, so let me tell you what I think about it (honestly).
''Soul Mechanic'' is true to its name. It is such a heartwarming drama and it shows people the reality of mental illnesses.: they're no joke, they're real and no less than any other illness. In reality, people suffer and stuggle lot and they make sure to portray it perfectly through every different patient. Different illnesses, different obstacles, different healing. That's what I loved the most about this drama, it not only focuses on the leads but on every other supporting characters too.
The romance plays a little part of the story; I wouldn't say it's the main theme. Still, it's worth mentioning. I didn't see that many chemistry between leads, but it's enough to make it work. Their relationship is heartwarming and, at first, toxic, but they managed to make it work and I'm so happy it did. It's always nice to see that kind of development in a drama couple after seeing so many toxic ones.
The acting on this drama is amazing. The main male lead, Shin Ha Kyun, has such a friendly face and is perfect for the role he's playing, and the main female lead, Jung So Min, portrays a BPD patient really well and truthfully. It's not an easy one, keep that in mind, and what you'll see on this drama aren't ''exaggerations'' as many people may say. I'm telling you as a bpd patient myself, as I said before; bpd isn't an easy disorder. I've lost more than I've won. The anger issues are true and the attention seeking is too. So keep in mind, if you're gonna watch this, it's not too much. Is a struggle and this drama shows it rawly.
To end this review, as I don't want it to be endless, I'd like to say this drama isn't perfect. I've only stated the good parts of it because they make this drama pretty worthy of watching and I wouldn't want anyone to miss it, but it's true that some aspects of it (ex. Si Joon's way of treating his patients) may be controversial.
I also would like to encourage anyone with a mental illnes, whatever it is, to watch this drama. The message it gives it really encouraging and it made me feel a lot less alone in this world.
