Your article is of high quality, thank you! I like this drama, but maybe not enough to watch it every week. I prefer the binge-watch later, so I don't lose track of the story. Until episode 5, I found that the drama was quite irregular. A bit too much character-oriented and not enough plot-oriented. Or sometimes boring, with side scenes that serve to complete the episode. Scenes that are useful, but not good enough in themselves, or some badly placed comic effects (the scene of the rival Nam Joo Ri crying falsely for example). The drama would have benefited from being denser, with a faster pace, but did the scriptwriter have enough ideas for that? On the other hand, you highlighted the obvious qualities of the drama. Some key scenes are well constructed and well brought out. I hope the drama won't leave me with an aftertaste of superficiality, as was the case with Hotel Del Luna. I am finding it more and more difficult to appreciate this kind of drama, which is certainly aesthetically pleasing and quite finely written, but which either forgets to focus on the essential or lacks intensity. I fully understand that this drama is very much appreciated by many people, because in 2019 and 2020, I found it difficult to like a lot of drama. And this one is slightly better than average.
i can't move on as well. I'm currently listening to the OST :) I'm hoping for Season 2. Arthdal Chronicles, which…
Here you interest me. Please, could you give me links to what other screenwriters are saying about KES and TKEM? I'm curious if they talk about the same problems I detected. If you feel uncomfortable writing it there, please feel free to send me an PM.
Am I the only who got completely freaked out by MY's actions? I think its due to her disorder, how she acts? Especially…
Well... it's the principle from the start, right? Freak out people by MY's actions. It could also be by the actions of KT, or other characters. A little more craziness...
It takes an incredible amount of energy for me to say this: I've seen dramas in which childhood tropes were either unnecessary or misplaced. For once, not here. It's anticipated from the very first scene of the drama. And it's built up a little bit better with each episode. I can't accuse the drama of using that trope when it's done right.
With this episode 5, I feel like I've got the whole drama wrapped up. That's not a good one. But that's not a bad one, either. Medium not good, and medium not bad. It's so average I've lost all motivation to criticize in detail good and bad. ¯\_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯

Since you love the story and know it so well, you should be the first person to know that there's no possibility of making a season 2 out of it. Otherwise, I suggest you write it yourself. Either as a fan fiction or in a more elaborate way, with a real script.
I read and liked your review. However, I've avoided certain parts so as not to be spoilt, because I'm on episode 50. For the OST: I'm not very interested in the songs. On the other hand, there are two or three background musics that we hear very often in the drama, and which are superb.
I'm hoping she'll try to get rid of the FL to get the ML back.It's a dirty trick, like framing her for assault.Then…
lol, it's just a makjang structure made in 15 minutes, with amnesia trope. ;-) I already have a character that looks like the FL from "psycho is okay", in the story I finished a few months ago. I felt like I was connected to the screenwriter when I started the drama, it happens sometimes.

Wait for it...
Finally, the FL is released, but barely, and she's not completely out of the woods. The love story between FL and ML finally manages to become real. But the ML gets attacked by an enemy (such as the crooked politician, the FL mother who is still alive, or some other enemy). He is left for dead. FL goes crazy and assaults the enemy without managing to kill him/her, and is then locked up again in a psychiatric hospital. For good this time.
During this time, the ML actually managed to survive, but he became amnesic. The enemy also had him locked up in a psychiatric hospital. Out of spite, the enemy has him locked up in the same hospital. When she learn he is alive, FL regain hope, but for a short time only because she discover he is amnesic. Then she tries desperately to talk to him, but there is no time and the nurses make sure to separate them every time. The ML can't remember anything, and FL becomes even crazier. She writes an incomprehensible tale with a pencil on the walls of her cell. Meanwhile, the ML's brother dies by accident, because no one was looking after him.
The second female lead manages to find the ML. She gets him out of the hospital in front of the FL, who becomes even crazier and is transferred to a room for dangerous lunatics. She is subjected to electroshock therapy. However, when he left the hospital, the ML had time to see the words FL had written on the walls. Later, he has flashes of memory because of the words of the tale. Eventually he regains his memory. He decides to take revenge.
In the end, he gets FL out of the hospital, but she has definitely lost her mind and is in a wheelchair. He will take care of her as he took care of his brother, for the rest of their lives. In the last scene, there will be a very slight, ambiguous hint that there may be a slight improvement in the FL condition, and that perhaps one day she may recover. But it will be so fast and so blurred that no one can be sure of that. END.

There's no quote, the sentence is different, it's a conversation, and the meaning isn't completely the same. It's more of an idea, which anyone can have on their own. And even if this idea was inspired, it is too succinct and too general to talk about plagiarism.
i get so irritated and annoyed whenever i see nam-joo-ri on screen. such a boring and useless character among…

Since you don't have anything to do in life until the next episode (lol!), I put a link to a good song that illustrates the subject "better". I don't understand anything about the lyrics except the chorus, but I love the music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OO9LloDSJo

I'm sorry not to argue any further, I just feel so tired. ●﹏●
