A nearly perfect drama for me

Ko Mun-young is a children's book author with a personality disorder. Moon Gang-tae cares for his autistic brother selflessly but also with guilt. Moon Sang-tae is not only autistic but also witnessed his mother's murder. All three suffered emotional wounds in childhood that left scars. But their (re)encounter starts a process of mutual healing.

That sounds pathetic, but the story is anything but; it's a perfect blend of drama, romance, suspense, and humor. It's told in images that are at times disturbing and at times poetic. The included stories from the children's books, in particular, make the series something special, one I won't soon forget.

The unique story about mental health, the development of the characters, the visuals and of course the emotional acting of the three main leads makes it a nearly perfect drama for me.
