This one became of my fav kdramas of all time. I can't explain it properly in words. I was in a really bad emotional…
I hated that it got cut down to 12 episodes, the finale felt very rushed; the temporary break up felt very contrived and silly. Ah well, the rest of the drama was such a masterpiece, the last 30 mins wasn't able to ruin it. Plus, at least we got a happy ending and the couple was reunited.
This one became of my fav kdramas of all time. I can't explain it properly in words. I was in a really bad emotional and mental state but this was truly a healing drama lol... If I could attempt describing what watching it felt like, I would say it's the emotional equivalent of watching snow fall on a lazy afternoon, curled up with a warm blanket with a cup of tea beside you... it just hit different. It had this warm, cozy vibe; the plot was slow-paced even though there was so much going on. It dealt with issues such as loss, grief, depression, pure love, friendship, moving on and so much more, in such an understated but wholesome way that you ended up healed along with the characters.
Speaking of the characters, I particularly liked all of them and the slow-burn romance. Literally all the people in this story are so loving and caring (except for Ji-soo's husband and maybe Changsup, but even they are somewhat redeemed by the end), it made my heart feel light. The romance is so damn cute and wholesome. Honestly, I want someone to look at me the way Seo-woo and Ha-won looked at each other. I want a relationship like theirs, where both partners always take care of each other, and love purely and unselfishly.
I liked the acting of the leads so much... like Jung Hae-in fully embodied his sadboi/softboi character. Ha-won is a calm, polite, ever so caring person and you could tell just by the small smiles, the soft expressions and the understated, considered body language in Jung Hae-in's portrayal. I also loved Chae Soo-bin's acting as Seo-woo - the character's warmth and cheerfulness, loyalty and consideration really shone through her performance. It's going to be hard to see them in other dramas and movies and not think of their characters in this XD... Anyways, all the supporting characters were so sweet and I was rooting for them all! I love the found family at Eun-joo Homestay and the friendship between Ji-soo and Seo-woo.
Finally, just the overall vibes of A Piece of Your Mind. Every scene looked like a painting, or a really well-shot music video. The colours, the cinematography, the aesthetics... just beautiful. Just like Ji-soo was instantly at peace by looking at leaves reflected on the roof, I found peace just by looking at this drama's visuals. The OST was also so soothing and pretty, with an acoustic, classical sound.
All in all, I would 100% percent recommend APOY if you want healing dramas. If anything, there's lot more I can say but I'm not a good enough writer. Maybe you won't feel the same way as I did, perhaps it hits differently for people in different moods or places, but give it a try. 9.0/10 from me.
The FL's father is the greatest villain in drama history. Every time he comes onscreen I want to slap the selfishness and evil out of the awful old man.
there is a plot twist tag and a psychopath tag so i was wondering if you can spoil me please XD
There's not really a pyscho in this drama (2nd ML is a rival assassin who lowkey seems pretty nice) and the twist is basically that a person the ML trusted was deceiving him all along
