A warm hug after a really long and difficult day
For real, where do i begin? This kdrama feels like a warm hug after a really long and difficult day.The development of the relationship between the main couple was organic without seeming forced, and it definitely took the necessary time to build, considering the male protagonist's past with his first love. They understand each other without using words. The story is complex, but very well constructed.
It's a journey of self-discovery and healing. Sometimes the past weighs heavily, but we never know what the future holds.
Great acting and the cast? Incredible!
Loved it so much.

A piece of magic
Oh My.....I am not sure how this sensitive and visually beautiful series ever got a low review! I feel almost privileged to have had the opportunity to watch it. And that, as I have read, 4 episodes were cut because of low rating I am beyond flabbergasted!Besides being one of the most beautifully shot dramas I have watched in a very long time, the acting was superb, the music hauntingly lovely, and the story so very touching...
This series dealt incredibly well with many complex human emotions; dealing with the pain of unrequited love, the devastation and regret of loss and the strength it takes to move past and continue on to have a fulfilling life.
Jung Hae In, a favorite of mine, has an almost etherial quality that made him perfect for the role of Moon Ha Wo. Kim Sung Kyu broke my heart in his portrayal of Kang In Wook....in fact there truly was not one actor in the series I felt could have been better cast.
This will be one I'll definitely put on my rewatch list...a truly beautiful series!

A mixture of perfectly measured ingredients which resulted into the tastiest cake!
UNDERRATED, A GEM IN THE MELODRAMA WORLD.I don't know how to describe my feelings and emotions for this kdrama. Everything was so subtle that it felt so real and natural. The right amount of comedy, romance, and drama. This series makes me feel so sentimental! If you're into melodrama and slice of life, this kdrama is definitely for you!
The perfect slow burn, and to be honest I've never watched a kdrama that made so much impact in my life. The life lessons in this kdrama, chefs kiss! The focus on healing and loving yourself before finding comfort and love with others, the best! The plot equates to one word "maturity". The focus on mental health, the portrayal of toxicity in a relationship, all of it felt so real. I felt like I was watching someone's life, right before my eyes.
But even though it wasn't fictitious, It's far from the word BORING. I noticed a lot of people downvoted this drama, and that's because - I think reality or slice of life, isn't their cup of tea- for melodrama lovers, you should definitely give this a try and you won't regret it. It was cut short, but for me, it was still perfect. The conflicts weren't too much, and it stuck with reality.
Go ahead and give it a try! :D

Great drama
I first dropped it cause I thought there was some lgbtq stuff with the fl and Kim Ji won but no. They were just friends but admired each other. You should watch this drama, very comforting, no miscommunication, green flags coded. The only thing that disturbed me was that the ml first loved another girl and their story was so cute (childhood friends). I sometimes was sad for the fl but the ml handled it very well.Was this review helpful to you?

A mesmerizing descent of nothingness
My dropped list is probably catching up to my completed at this point. I have no interests in forcing my way through any drama that loses itself, my interest, or both. A Piece Of Your Mind, for me, had it’s curtain call exactly at the end of the first half.Not much i want to touch on besides a few separate thoughts. The OST is fantastic, if you only give this series a shot for this alone, I wouldn’t blame you nor will you be disappointed. If you can get through the first two episodes of delicate mindfucking,congrats, you’re basically halfway done. Great performances all around though I admit, questionable at times. I can’t be the only one to feel the series go “All right, that about sums up what you came to see, tap next for filler” as soon as episode 6 wrapped up. I can’t wrap my head around those that were interested in seeing any further progression or closure, i mean I’ve been slapped with multiple random and uninteresting side storylines far too many times, our confusion isn’t a hoax, that’s the writer practically winging it after realizing
-Hell, this was supposed to go on for 16 episodes? I’m sure we can spare a tale or two with these dull ass tenants.May have to cut a few.
-*Later cuts 4 episodes of drag* Hell, 12 episodes? I’m sure somebody has some bright input, anything you’d like to add cameraman?
On a serious note give this series a try if you favor cinematography, the cast, or a nice melo slow burn with memorable dialogue. This series won’t disappoint as long as your eyes aren’t bigger than your stomach. Get in,enough, then out.

A piece of my mind...
I don't know how to start but, let me tell you that I am still in Ep. 5 and I want to share my thoughts while I still have it. This will be my initial rate but, it may change once I finish the drama.Acting wise - I have no complaints for the cast's acting since they are always brilliant. ML has been my fave for a while now, especially from his movie "tune in for love". He can naturally act, the way he conveys his emotions thru his eyes which is a mark of a very good actor. FL, I haven't had the chance to explore her dramas which he plays main role but, I always admire her in "Love in the moonlight". and watching her in this drama is never a disappointment.
Kang In-Wook (Kim Sung-kyu) undeniably a very good actor since I watched the Kingdom series.
Music score - I love all the songs cause it always gives you the real feeling in every scene, it helps you find the emotions.
Plot - From Ep. 5: I wish it is more realistic. The AI is somewhat questionable, well I got a lot of questions while they are using it. A device is as good as the information you feed them. It seems like they feed them feelings and inner thoughts of Ji Su and it is kinda off for me. This does not stop me from keep on watching it though, I will just ignore and play along as if it is doable. This could be doable if the creator is high and mighty.
That's a piece of my mind on this drama for now. I will sure return to complete my ratings and review. Overall it is enjoyable.
Edit: And I have returned after 24hrs. I have raised my rating to 8/10, some of the plot can be turned a blind eye on it, don't rationalize it :). The story still gives me the warmth and forgiveness. Highly admired Ha Won's character because he is a really kind and compassionate person. He loved with all his heart, know when to stop and move on, not filled with anger and very forgiving.
Seo woo may have the positivity in her but HW has the best character. Go ahead and watch it!

Les bienfaits de la résilience
Ce drama ressemble beaucoup aux dramas axés sur le bien-être que l'on peut atteindre en surmontant ses blessures personnelles, en s'appuyant sur les autres. Il me rappelle beaucoup la série de Taïwan a thousand goodnights ou bien plus récemment if the weather is fine. Toutefois le scénario aurait plutôt pu convenir à un long film de deux heures. C'est donc le réalisateur qui réussit à bonifier chaque épisode par de magnifiques prises de vue. Il traduit finement l'état émotionnel des personnages et il s'appuie beaucoup sur la bande son. Celle-ci est magnifique comme on s'y attend pour un drama où le son et la musique forment l'univers principal des personnages. On reconnaît bien là le talent des producteurs de kdrama et leur maîtrise technique fabuleuse. J'ai été touchée par ces personnages malgré la tonalité triste de l'ensemble. Je recommande pour les images et la musique.Was this review helpful to you?

Ne pas oublier, mais avancer en gardant le souvenir au cœur...
C’est un drama tout en silence, et en souvenirs… L’histoire ne progresse pratiquement que par la mémoire des personnages. Entendons-nous, ce ne sont pas les flash-backs habituels qui nous remontrent ce qu’on vient de voir 5 mn plus tôt, non. Là ce sont des ouvertures sur le passé des personnages qui nous éclairent sur leur présent, sur la raison de leur comportement, sur leurs émotions et leurs motivations. Les fils de la toile apparaissent peu à peu, se nouent, les correspondances entre les différents destins se montrent peu à peu, et il semble bien qu’il n’ya ait aucun hasard mais des chemins que chacun doit forcément suivre, au long desquels les personnages se révèlent, à la fois à eux-mêmes et aux autres. Ils apparaissent dans l'histoire de façon inexpliquée et finalement leur place est bien prévue dans la tapisserie finale.L’ Intelligence Artificielle, conçue par Ha Won permet de garder une passerelle entre ceux restés et celle partie, et tout le travail sera de décider quand il faut fermer définitivement une porte et aller de l’avant, sans pour autant rien renier, rien oublier.
J’ai énormément aimé ce drama, son atmosphère à la fois prenante et paisible, mélancolique mais positive…
Les personnages ont chacun une histoire originale et en même temps si humaine, celle qui a souffert d’une rupture et ne peut maintenant comprendre les autres qu’à travers les plantes qu’elle cultive, celle qui a vécu un drame familial affreux et tente de se reconstruire, celui qui porte au cœur un amour sans retour depuis des années et s’y est enfermé comme dans une tour de cristal, le pianiste dévoré de chagrin et de remords…
Les acteurs sont excellents, et avant tout Jung Hae In, à qui ce genre de personnage en retrait, extrêmement maître de lui et peu communiquant, mais réussissant à tout faire passer par le regard, et le langage corporel, semble particulièrement convenir. Il y met une grande sensibilité, une sincérité, une finesse et une délicatesse de jeu vraiment remarquable. Les autres aussi, Chae Soo Bin, jeune fille pleine de courage à l’âme claire, Lee Ha Na, souvent maladroite, et originale, réfugiée dans son jardin (d’ailleurs, sublime, le jardin !! moi aussi j’y resterais bien )mais prête à se risquer à nouveau dans la vie, Kim Sung Kyu (découvert dans Kingdom) en pianiste torturé par un remord impossible à apaiser… Ils sont tous excellents…
Il faut aimer se laisser porter, accepter de ne pas tout comprendre tout de suite, et se laisser charmer par de beaux personnages, soutenus par une très jolie OST, parfaitement en harmonie avec l’histoire. Si vous ces critères vous correspondent, vous allez adorer « une part de ton esprit ».
par contre j’ai des doutes sur Viki, qui a la manie de mettre les paroles des chansons, et là, déjà que ce n’est pas toujours évident de séparer la parole présente du souvenir et de la voix de l’A.I, si en plus il y a les chansons… Enfin, je l’ai regardé en anglais et je suis en train de me le traduire !

Un hermoso romanse incluso con pocas escenas de romanse
un drama lento y hermoso, que te relaja con su ost pero que te pone tenso en muchos momentos, empecemos.Ost: el ost es totalmente lo más hermoso de este drama, temas que te llegan al alma y que sin duda acabarán en tu playlist
escenarios : la cinematográfica en este drama es muy bueno, los planos que se muestran son muy hermosos un punto fuerte en este drama
actores : poco que decir de los protagonistas, no es el primer drama que veo de ellos su trabajo siempre es fenomenal
historia : una historia lenta, triste por momentos con un elenco que se desenvuelve muy bien dentro de la trama. una historia que no muestra el romance de los protagonistas en primer plano, si no como estos se enamoran debido a las circunstancias que los rodean es simplemente una fórmula muy hermosa de ver, sin nesecidad de un triángulo amoroso innecesario
Elenco y drama en general : en general todo el drama está muy buen equilibrado, tiene una comedia orgánica que te hace reír , momentos tristes y problemas entre todos los protagonistas y secundarios que hace que el drama no aburra y pese a su ritmo lento pase muy rápido
conclusión: si te gustan los dramas lentos, con hermoso ost y hermosas tomas este es el drama perfecto para ti.

Es la mejor historia hasta ahora. Diferente a lo que se ve siempre o de lo que he visto. No conocía a la actriz que hizo de Ji Soo pero ella también me atrapo. Es increíble como podíamos sentir sus emociones. Aunque me resulto corto es el mejor drama hasta ahora... Si tienen la oportunidad de verlo no se lo pierdan. En cuanto a Soo Bin mmm... su actuación me gusto pero no tanto como la de la actriz que hizo de Ji Soo.
