Good start but fails the psychiatric test...

This drama has some sweet moments and lovely friendships it starts off really interesting with love to hate with a twist math/secret pen pal twist.

Our male lead is a cold guy who really never ever lets anybody finish their sentences a tendansy that only gets wors towards the later episodes. Our poor female lead is a supernatural super hero or has like 5 clones. I love her but there is no way on earth a human can do all that and still survive.

The evil second female lead is as portrayed as the most conniving woman ever to walk the earth, For a drama that seems to want to talk about mental illness they seem to completely lack any basic understanding of human psychiatry and psychology. I may not be an expert, really I am not but the way they try to portray PTSD and depression just feel off and there is no way the evil female second female lead has the right chemical balance in her mind.

Other than that there is a cool aunt, a highly predictable best friend or two and some other lovable characters and is a pretty easy binge. However all this good is just not really enough for me to recommend it even if it started off as an 8,5 the later episodes just fall flat and are meeh. The kisses feel generic (though they try), and there is just one to many questionable approaches to mental health to make me wanna recommend it.
