sometimes in dramaland u just have to shut-off…

sometimes in dramaland u just have to shut-off ur brain n enjoy. but i can't 😩 can an autistic person change so much from childhood to adulthood?!? have no first hand experience with autistic people, and yet Go Se Won's "transformation" seems like a reach too me. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also how much time passed from when Go Se Won succeeded with the experiment with the (poor) mice, to have human size head-gear thingies, ready to experiment on himself?!? and him going to experiment on himself alone, after almost dying the 1st time around. doesn't seem smart in the least, this not logical or calculated, he supposed to be a genius. like WTF?!? not to mention after the severe side effects after the 2nd time, he then goes on to do the same with his comatose wife - like (ノへ ̄、) **********************************************************************************************************************************btw didn't she need to be dead(?), that's the main reason the 37th experiment finally succeeded, no?!???? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯also if the brain is damaged, how can u get any logical info out of it?!? let alone a clear vision of sec's before the death?? let alone just wearing head-gear with electrodes can convey info into ur brain?? much of this (medical side) plot, is a reach IMHO****************************************************************************************************************************************there r some solid actors in this and cause of that, i was sure it would be phenomenal, maybe this assumption is what leave me indifferent. ***************************************************************************************************************************the ep started off pretty good, great acting even from the kid (playing child Se Won). seeing the desperation n despair in his mother (as a single parent) was going through, was easy to read n very heart breaking. in the sec's before her accident, i wonder if she was wishing in her heart that her son would get run over, considering his autism it would be a merciful death as she didn't have the means to afford the treatment that would help him. maybe the next best choice would be her ending her own life, in the hopes that whoever took him in, would then help him - *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************what makes me uneasy is that the hospital took him in, and considering his abnormal brain, he grew up in a lab. so how come he could lead a normal life?!? idk have a weird feeling Jae Yi was (like many other's) put close to him, to monitor him. maybe seen too many movies, but that's the feeling i get, cause of how this ep unfolded. as a 1st ep this was interesting (as in, am intrigued where this gonna go) but not blown away, like i thought, i would be...
