I don't like how this show handles mental illness so far. It almost seems like any condition can be fixed by some trick and a few well-placed words, but mental illnesses run a lot deeper than that and take a lot more work and effort to untangle. I thought their depiction of anorexia was especially appalling. If it were that easy, I'm sure she would have eaten on her own without having to come to you at some point. Also, it seems like Do Hee is wildly unprofessional when it comes to her job. She comes and goes in the office as she pleases, she falls asleep, she decides to do or not do projects based on her own personal situation and whims. Is this was Hae Kyung was talking about when he said she had OCPD and narcissistic PD? But he's never seen her in a work situation...Honestly, the more I watch of this drama, the less I get. I keep wondering whether I've accidentally skipped episodes or something.
