I think some latest drama are about psychiatrist and psychology, they’re: mechanic/fix you, dinner mate/shall we eat dinner together, and now psycho but it’s ok.
Btw i love fix you and dinner mate, i wish psycho but it’s ok will be my fave too.

By looking at the poster I thought the female co-star was Park Shin-hye.
June 11th, 2020 at 8:14 pm
the poster and the vibes sounds nerve-wrecking, definitely in!!
I guess KSH drama always look promising, i put my faith on it~
June 15th, 2020 at 12:34 am
I can see korean drama pattern. FOR Example this drama about psychiatric where Fix You and Dinner mate also about psychiatric. And meanwhile, The King Eternal Monarch and Train is about parallel world. But I love Fix you and cant wait for this drama. I can tell it good drama too. Tvn the best.

This was supposed to be about real mental health stuff!!! What happened!!! Now we got gothic Tim Horton vibes!! That is extremely misleading honestly. I was invested in realistic mental health stuff to get another hotel de Luna Fantasia kind of stuff!!! So disappointed.

Love this, I’m not gonna compare this to any other drama. The drama has it’s own story to be told and I can’t wait what unfolds after😍
June 21st, 2020 at 10:34 pm
the first episode was good! 👍 looking forward to the next episodes!
June 22nd, 2020 at 7:21 am
Great drama. Terrific acting by the two leads. Looking forward to next weekend. Glad I have a Netflix subscription.

The story’s told in the first 4 episodes. It’s done.
Boy and girl in the field; boy freaks and runs away from the girl. He’s been running away ever since. Years later boy and girl meet and she tells him he’s a coward.
Boy realises he’s been using his brother’s condition to mask his own trauma instead of facing it.
That’s it; the message is excellent. The rest will be padding so the advertisers can sell their wares.

Previously i got bored watching kdramas cause i found it lousy and not interesting stories but NOW this drama really makes me EXCITED. i really love kim soo hyun. The two lead actors have chemistry. I like the harsh voice of the actress it suits her character
July 4th, 2020 at 10:03 pm
i thought i would wait the drama to finish first but failure, cause all these spoilers kept lingering around and i just give it one go.
1st episode really got me and turns out it wasn’t your typical fairy tales you could have imagine.
later on this mental issues they unveils on both leads were surfaced telling how they overcome all this post-traumatic in such a young age, and the way of story telling MY had written on children book is correlate with their condition until now, and that’s all making sense. Hooked!
KSH and SYJ is such a good pairs, and they’re the cutest even on behind the scene. My fave ever after CLOY and Dinner Mate.
July 6th, 2020 at 9:08 am
The best drama in 2020 worth every minutes to watch especially because KSH is here and so many messages we can get .. cant wait for the next episodes..
July 7th, 2020 at 1:19 am
Ksh and Syj are perfect leads for this drama. The story will totally caught all your attention and will make your heart full after every episode…
July 13th, 2020 at 10:47 pm
OMG!!!
OMO! OMO!! OMO!!!
I Am always very patient with kdramas.
I wait for the whole episodes to come out before I watch it but this is my first time that I rush to Asian Drama every Monday to watch it when is uploaded….
Wow!!!
For me this will be the best drama for 2020…
The storyline is awesome, different and matured…
Apart from KSH being one of my most handsome actors and that I have a crush on him…
He is very good in this drama…
How he suppresses his emotions…
I can’t wait for him to totally loose control which he will sooner than later cos the pretty female lead is not smiling at all and is always upping her games….
This is my first time commenting on a drama here but I couldn’t hold it in anymore I had to write something…
This drama is a must watch…
July 14th, 2020 at 1:36 pm
I don’t know what other people thinking, but this is the best drama for this year
July 29th, 2020 at 6:53 pm
When will be the 13th episode release??????
August 1st, 2020 at 3:39 pm
Different from the rest of dramas currently showing, it certainly is in a class of its own, the autistic elder brother shows how versatile his acting skills are, top marks for this and as the rating shows how well it is received by the public
August 4th, 2020 at 7:19 pm
how do i download it from my system?
August 8th, 2020 at 12:51 am
Oh Jung Se, he is a very good actor
August 10th, 2020 at 1:25 am
