Five Kdrama Characters Who Have Social Agility Deficits

Choi In Ha's Pinocchio Syndrome makes her unable to lie. Most people with this syndrome become shy and withdrawn, but she is outspoken, earning a high school nickname which one subtitler translated as "Blunt Talking Witch." Despite her brave choices, her inability to lie does hamper her both professionally and personally. But her disability is also a kind of strength: just by being who she is, she changes the behavior of the people around her. 

Seo Jeong Hu distrusts other people, lives a reclusive existence, and works alone in the shadows. One of his father's friends, who at one time served as both teacher and parent for him, says of Seo Jeong Hu that he might be autistic, because he dislikes people so much. But another adult in Jeong Hu's life answers that it's the abandonment Jeong Hu has repeatedly suffered that has formed him.

Male protagonist Kim Min Kyu has an allergy to human beings, which results in him living an isolated life. His life-threatening symptoms create a barrier between him and others, and influence him to dislike them, as well. 

Female lead Han So Yeon is lonely and marginalized in her workplace because she has face blindness. Then she meets Holo, the AI holograph, and comes to the attention of his antisocial creator, Go Nan Do. 

Female protagonist Ko Moon Young is written as having Antisocial Personality Disorder. Her personal history of trauma also influences her behavior. She writes dark picture books for children. She dresses and lives theatrically. While her actions can be violent, she's loyal, has a drive to protect, and loves deeply.
