Hmm...interesting. Not quite what I expected is my initial reaction. I’m a sucker for eerie ghost stories so I’m intrigued to see how the mystery develops. This could be excellent or truly terrible but it’s too soon to say for now!
Applaud the insane acting elevating an absolutely ludicrous & simple plot. It worked so well & I love how it touches upon loneliness & what it means for humans to connect.
I did not expect to bawl like a baby at the end. Personally think this has been one of the most effective & refreshing takes on the overused childhood connection trope. I think they used it to full advantage & made huge sense narrative wise instead of being thrown in.
The acting, the creative use of children books & illustration AND beautifully human look into stigmatised subjects are reasons enough to give this a go. The stories resonated so much with my heart & explores deeply not only people with autism but those who are close to support. A sensational amount of hard work & time put in creating those children books. There’s some powerful moments and life wisdom.
I watched 2 episodes. A really want to like it because I am in a slimp. But IDK I really feel bored. I don't feel…
Keep at it. I struggled at first but the stories become something beautiful. The stories for the patients and character development become fleshed out. It manages to refresh age old tropes & tackles tough stigmatised topics that’s rarely explored in media let alone kdramas. The creative style is arguably not everyone’s cup of teas but you might be pleasantly surprised
Is anyone finding the Na Hee & Gyu Jin reasons for their younger siblings not to date a bit selfish & frustrating? Or do people think it’s reasonable? Curious to hear what people think!
I loved this one so much I didn’t want it to end. I wanted to watch so many more stories- so much of it was beautifully filmed and had such a relatable touch to it.
Does anyone know of any other KDramas that is as outrightly polarising as this one?
I’m fascinated by how this comments section/ general chatter & critical analysis is still thriving! Just curious to know if there’s other drama examples out there with a similar reaction.
What a strong start. I’m mesmerised by the BEAUTIFULLY animated children stories, and they connect so well to the main narrative. I hope this carries on throughout the series, it’s so unique. Have such high hopes for this series!
This is an underrated gem. The casting is brilliant and I’m loving seeing his these characters get fleshed out. Proves it not always about creating something new- you can always give a fresh perspective to old ground and still do it so well. That’s my impression so far.
The sprawling fan theories and reception reminds me of peak Tumblr discussions surrounding Moffat’s era on Doctor Who lol. It’s a Western show but it’s interesting seeing the parallel themes of conversation on time travel, characters and screenwriter analysis.
worth to watch? the plot and the cast are good? i still waiting.. if good i plan to watch it soon
Yes! For when you’re looking for something less intense than the usual crime drama- expect a lighter tone with great crime stories! So far so good with its action scenes and characters too.
I still think It's Kang bae though. Don't know why just feel like it.
I think ep4’s ending might be a red herring, where KB’s reaction made WJ reminisce back to when she helped the prince at his bedside. Simultaneously we got shots of GC wielding a sword similar to the prince’s sword when he knelt down at the sacred tree.
The crux of the issue is how they executed the memories flooding back. It became a tricky juggle of remembering who they were AND then letting it somewhat overtake their current personalities. In a flash of an odd time skip, it’s harder to connect with the characters having seen how they’ve fleshed out previously.
Having said that I still hope for a satisfying ending which ties it together, but I’m willing to accept it’ll be a messy journey. It’ll hinge on how they deal with JSB. Are they willing to commit to her remembering fully, or not. And I hope the show chooses.

After all it’s okay to not be okay.
Having said that, I’m at the edge of my seat each episode. Don’t let the melodramatic setup fool you, it’s a wild ride.

Let’s see how it unfolds!
