I love it!
It was one of the very first dramas I watched, left a pretty good impression on me (I finished this show about 1 year ago but I recently found out about this app)I tend to drop shows if they don't interest me between the first 3 episodes, but this one was different, it was interesting since the start
I really loved how the relationship between the FL And the ML (including the brother) developed through out the series, I believe Moonyoung and Sangtae's sibling-like relationship made the drama better
Although I would say Moonyoung sometimes would make me cringe (ex: when whe m0aned in the mental hospital) or when she would touch his abs without Gangtae's permission🤨, i think that is the only bad thing about the show (for ME)
I would've liked if they showed more about Moonyoung's mom transformation, I believe it would have been awesome if the showed how she managed to even work at the hospital!!
This drama deserves 10/10, so good and I recommed everyone who just started watching kdramas to watch this as one of their first's,it made such an impact on me and made me want to discover more about the Kdrama world.
Thank you IONTBO❤️🩹

a very sweet and relatable show
I have an older brother who is similar to sang-tae from this show. I actually identified with gang-tae this show so, so much. For this reason, I am very greatful this show was made. It brings awareness to a unique family dynamic and the struggles of not only combating mental health issues but also being a caregiver. However, it seems the show hit too close to home and that's why the ending left me dissatisfied. It felt like gang-tae was relinquishing one responsibility for another.I come back here because I recently watched Twinkling Watermelon, which reminded me of this show. It is great to see such amazing kdramas handle disabilities and mental health so well. Oh Jung Se acted incredibly and I believe this is his best work.

little prince
I remember how much I enjoyed watching the series when it was broadcast.Although there was some ambiguity about the mother of the main female character, but it had a beautiful and attractive story and script.
I must say about the acting, they were great. The main roles played the characters that were defined for them in the best way.
I feel that the author of the series was inspired by the story of "The Little Prince". In the sense that he mixed deep emotional issues with stories with a juvenile and almost childish tone.
All in all, a series with a special and beautiful story and script in the form of an atmosphere with a bit of a magical feeling along with awesome OSTs

Meu 1º
Foi minha primeira série, e a 1ª vez a gente nunca esquece. Doce e maravilhosa. Nos faz pensar em o que somos e nos tornamos por culpa do mundo. Trilha sonora magnífica, sem dizer os atores que dão um espetáculo de atuação. Muita emoção envolvida e não tem um personagem que não nos faça lembrar alguém que já conhecemos ou de nosso convívio, e de certa forma até compreendê-los, digo que é uma sessão de terapia para pensarmos em que humanos somos e que humanos queremos ser, e acima de tudo, o quanto o respeito é fundamental enquanto sociedade, compreender quem está do seu lado e nem sempre é percebido...Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Amazing story which deserves more attention
I am writing this after watching many many kdramas and I could say that there are dramas that you either enjoy watching or you don’t. And then there are dramas like this that manage to impact you and last long in your heart.Honestly, this is my first kdrama I ever watched because my sister introduced me to it( I watched winter sonata but it was an anime and last episode was real tv, so it doesn't count) IOTNBO has made me feel many things that time and I can’t believe how it impacted me at that time .
I think i agree to KSHLOVE summary about this drama and agree to it .
This drama might be either something you love or you don’t. We all have different stories. But what I’m really sure of is that this drama will always have a special place in my heart. :’)

Not what I was expecting, but some great acting!
I saw some clips on Youtube and thought I knew what this show was going to be like, and I was wrong, well partly wrong.Ko Moon Young is such a unique character, and if she wasn't so incredibly beautiful, it would be too, too easy to dislike her. She has such long beautiful hair, and beautiful eyes, and I think her waist actually got smaller near the end of the series, it was so tiny! She was always dressed really well. Ko Moon Young can act though, and go from no emotion, to great emotion.
Moon Gang Tae was basically the male version of Ko Moon Young. Wow, can he act! The guy could go from a face like a statue, to so emotional, that you could feel it.
Moon Sang Tae plays a character with Autism, and does such a great job of it. I thought he really had it. I really didn't care for the character in the beginning, and I think they meant for you not to really like him that much, but by the end, that changes.
I swear, I think everyone in the show can smile better than just about anyone else. Talk about changing the way someone looks with a smile. Just unreal!!!
This is a serious show. The focus is on the mind. The majority of it is with characters from a mental hospital. Every character has a interesting personality. The caregivers have the patience of Saints!
Pretty much every character has some serious mental baggage to deal with, and that's all the main characters as well.
There are many funny moments, but some very intense moments, and many moments that have you thinking. It's pretty deep, and they are really good at making characters. If you like reading between the lines, you can do it here, because they are that good with the acting.
If you're looking for a show that doesn't require tissues, then this one isn't for you.
It's quite a interesting show, but it might not be for everyone. This isn't fluff, this is a pretty serious story being told.
Would I rewatch it, maybe, a good way into the future. Just to see Ko Moon Young I might do it. :)

Multiple great messages learned from watching this masterpiece
Story- The overall story was absolutely amazing! The story explaining how Ko moon Young and Moon Gang Tae first met draws you in and creates a good pathway for the romantic plot of their story to keep progressing. Gang Tae and Sang Taeś story is something that can make a grown man come to tears. Gang Tae has to grow up fast and takeover the older brother role, which really makes the watchers relate and feel for Gang Tae as a character. While some may find it hard to feel for Sang Tae at the start, there is no possibility but to come to love his character as the story progresses. Some people may say that Ko Moon Young needed to ¨face her problems¨, I find that her living together with Sang Tae and Gang Tae was a sort of therapy for her. There cohabilitation was a cure for her loneliness and was a learning experience for her outbursts.Cast- Seo Yea Ji was a perfect fit for Ko Moon Young. Her facial structure really emphazed Ko Moon Youngs emotions and she fit the ¨I always get what I want¨ type very well, I dont think the show would have been the same without her as Ko Moon Young. Oh Jung Se deserves an award for his acting as Sang Tae. I almost believed that the actor was actually on the Autism spectrum because I thought he played his role so well (I have never personally seen someone with autism, nor will I claim to). Kim Soo hyun played the role of a big brother very well. His acting when he tried hiding his anger and when he was actually angry felt so real, and his chemistry with Seo Yea Ji was great!
Music- I have watched many dramas with absolutely terrible music. Many dramas seemed like they were using the same song as all the other popular dramas and the music fade would always be terrible. But the music in this show was refreshing and original. The music fade was great especially during the ¨I said I love you¨ scenes.
Personal opinion- Though Moon Young played her way into Sang Tae and Gang Tae´s life, Gang Tae wanted to be with her, and Sang Tae obviously felt the need to help her. Sang Tae made his choice to be with her knowning her intentions, (having him) which she made eztremely clear from the start of the show. If I did have one problem with this drama it would be how anticlimatic Ko Moon Youngs mothers story was at the end.

Life influencing !!
This is a masterpiece in itself !The title is enough to understand the theme , and it really sticks to the theme ! The lead characters all have some or the other mental traumas , which they are fighting against and they either conquer their fears or accept themselves the way they are ! Acting is specially amazing and story is heart rendering , very different from the cliched k-dramas !
Special mentions are set yeaji and oh jungse ! Their fights over KSH were hilarious as well as emotional at the same time ! One can sympathise with both characters, even when they would annoy you at sometimes !
Now this is an idea of strong FL ! The strong FL doesn't means always the kind hearted and self righteous or bubbly poor girl , like in most dramas!! Here the FL is psychotic , close to getting insane , but she still manages to get over it , with the help of ML. She understands her flaws and accepts them and doesn't expect the world to acknowledge her ! Cries her heart out but doesn't goes in self-pity and specially doesn't comes up with the stupid pride !

Great drama!
Definitely one of the best Korean dramas I watched, to date. Such impressive storytelling and originality in it, great production and the performances of the actors (mainly the three mains), as I grew to love many of the characters. The chemistry between the main couple is very, very good as well. The portrayal of autistic artist, brother, friend... was beautiful. I liked that it was a great mix of drama, romance, and some comedy. I would find small things that I did not all that much, but that doesn't affect my review. Rewatched it two times and I think I will watch it again quite soon. Reccomend.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Meu dorama favorito
Resolvi reassistir a série toda esta semana e parecia que eu tinha voltado para 2020 quando assisti pela primeira vez. Isso porque fiquei viciada, não conseguia parar de assistir e a cada cena meu coração reagia como se estivesse vendo pela primeira vez. Dito isso, precisa ser dito o quanto essa série é boa, você torce por todos os personagens, ri, chora, surta, quer tacar o celular na parede; a evolução de cada personagem individualmente e uns com os outros é linda! Eles não perdem a essência em momento algum, mas é perceptível como estão tentando ser melhores... Sigo dizendo que este é o melhor dorama já feito!Personagens profundos e cheios de traumas não resolvidos
Porém nem tudo é perfeito, a história infelizmente tem pontas soltas e coisas que apenas não fazem sentido. Por exemplo: Como dois meninos menores de idade sobreviveram perfeitamente bem sozinhos? Onde eles moraram, como compraram comida, água? Gang-tae diz nunca ter estudado, mas como RAIOS ele é cuidador em hospitais psiquiátricos? Moon Young, meu amor, minha bela, como você sobreviveu todos estes anos sozinha? Você comia, ia para a escola?
O mais importante de tudo: como ninguém reconheceu a mãe da Moon Young? Ta que ela fez diversas cirurgias plásticas, mas e a voz? Enfim...
Só estou falando tudo isso para ressaltar como uma obra, mas com pontas soltas e coisas sem sentido, pode ser MUITO boa e a preferida de muitas pessoas <3

Happy Ending!!!
I went into this drama not knowing what to expect. I usually watch C-dramas but I decided to give this drama a try, and it did not disappoint. The production was really nice. Ko Mun-young's outfits were stunning. The acting done by the whole cast was amazing, you could really feel the emotion in every scene. I love how this drama also focuses on people with Autism and mental health issues as it is not talked about a lot. Overall this is an amazing drama, obviously not for everyone but everyone should definitely give it a try, it will make you laugh and cry.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Style Over Substance
This drama was so promising at the beginning. The dark fairytale aesthetic was so beautiful and it had me under the impression that there might be some magical realism or even fantasy aspects to the story, which it really didn't have.The Good:
Mun-young's wardrobe was iconic and really added to the fairytale aesthetic. The dark fairytale vibe and the incorporation of the storybooks was very visually interesting to watch.
All three lead actors had great performances and chemistry with each other. I liked how they became a little found family and she developed her own friendship with his brother. All of them staying together in this huge, gothic mansion was also a cool dynamic.
There are funny parts of the show, especially when Mun-young just has no filter.
The Bad:
The portrayal of mental health is terrible. At certain points the show tried to display empathy for people who had committed terrible crimes because of their supposed mental illness when truly mentally ill people are rarely violent to others.
The relationship between the leads just did not work for me most of the time. They did have some good chemistry, but they did not show how he developed feelings for her or why. He seemed to go from feeling disdain for her to loving her very quickly and it was a struggle to understand why his feelings had changed, especially when she did act so over-the-top towards him.
The character's backstories were so traumatic and it seemed like that was never handled with care or dealt with. Based on the title, I thought this drama would have a lot more healing in it, but that was almost never seen. I was taken aback a couple times by how little empathy was displayed towards characters experiencing trauma. Spoiler: there is one scene where Mun-young's father tries to strangle her at the psychiatric hospital and the other characters just left her on the ground and no one seemed to comfort her or make sure she was okay? Parts of Mun-young's backstory also felt so impossible that I wondered if the show really was going to have a fantasy element to it. I really wish that mental illness and trauma had been handled better in this show, as it felt a little bit like a joke.
