The Wonderful World Episode 2

Another layer that makes this romance unbelievable is who the female lead is. She isn’t some struggling woman who might realistically compromise or seek security—she’s a software backend maintainer, with solid earnings, career growth, and long-term potential. On top of that, she’s slim, attractive, has a pleasant personality, polite behavior, caring nature, and financial stability. In short, she is the total package: beauty, brains, money, and manners.

So the question becomes: why would a woman like her fall head-over-heels for a man with autism who is portrayed as plain, average, and not particularly romantic or expressive?

It feels so forced that it turns the drama into an over-the-top fantasy. The relationship doesn’t read as “sweet healing love,” but rather a wish-fulfillment daydream—the kind where introverted or socially awkward men imagine that a perfect woman will appear and love them unconditionally, without them needing to offer anything equal in return.

And then comes the most baffling part: our “great” male lead actually tells the man who arranged their blind date to reject her. Imagine that—a woman this beautiful, successful, polite, caring, financially independent, and genuinely serious about marriage and family, is ready to commit to him despite his autism. She’s even thinking about a future together, including children, knowing the risks his condition might bring.

Yet instead of valuing this once-in-a-lifetime chance, he rejects her because he thinks he can somehow have a casual relationship with her without commitment. Really? In what universe does a man like this turn away a woman like her?

To make things even more ridiculous, after being rejected by the male lead, the female lead goes to the man who arranged their blind date and begs him to somehow arrange another meeting with the same guy. This is after the male lead has clearly said he doesn’t like her and won’t be with her.

She actually pleads, saying that eventually he will fall for her. Why? Because some doctor vaguely suggested she should be with him? There’s no practical reason, no emotional backstory, no hidden connection that explains her persistence. The drama just expects us to accept that a woman of her level—beauty, career, money, dignity—would throw it all aside to chase a man who openly rejects her, hoping he’ll magically change his mind.

At this point, it stops being a sweet love story and turns into nonsense wish-fulfillment, where the perfect woman doesn’t just appear for an average autistic man—she humiliates herself, begs, and insists on being with him no matter what. It’s not healing; it’s insulting to both women (who are portrayed as desperate) and men (who are told to expect fantasy instead of reality).
