I'm sorry maybe you missed some things but this isn't bipolar disorder and the show doesn't treat it like that,…
there is a reason why pobmek didn't rush to the doctor on ep.1~2.
first, he himself was overwhelmed by the situation and still couldn't grip what happened. and second, pobmek has his own trauma that caused him to have low-self esteem and as it explain on ep 2, he has a hard time to ask for help to other people and afraid to be seen as weak by others bcs the constant compare his mom did to him since young.
it's all explained clearly on each episode, maybe you need to rewatch so you can understand deeply with the characters 😅
and it's kinda slow burn series, you'll find out the answer slowly but sure.. just continue watching
