guys please tell me if it is relevant to 1st season than i should also watch it ?
Yes, it's definitely necessary to understand the depth and complexity of the pre-existing relationships. It's certainly not a waste of time, though, as season 1 is a masterpiece!
If this is half as good as the first season, I will love it.
I enjoyed the first episode, but it didn't give me chills by the end like the opening of the first season did. It was more like, "Oh, that's interesting, wonder how it's relevant," than, "I must know what happens next!"
Still, I'm watching through the lens of nostalgia and I am extremely excited. I have a lot of faith in this writer and the cast, so, love it already. Already re-watched it twice while I wait for the second episode.
I finally realize why the case is relevant... The dude is called "Lee Yong-ho", which must mean he is related…
Not necessarily, "Lee" is a very common name. But the case certainly has relevance, else they wouldn't have spent so much time on it. I think we'll have to wait and see.
I'm a chronic dropper as well! I just... don't have the patience if I'm not enjoying something. That said, I rarely drop things until the second or third time I try to watch it - if I'm not feeling it at the start, I often just put things on hold, assuming I'm in the wrong frame of mind for the tone. Unless it's comedy, those don't last 5 minutes with me.
I don't feel guilt about dropping things, but I do have this awful habit of not watching the last few episodes of things. Maybe it's because the main conflict is usually resolved by then and the general quality deteriorates? I'm not sure, but if there's a 16 episode drama I will have seen 12-14 episodes... but rarely the last few.
Also, if it's a romcom and they throw in that selfish self-sacrifice trope of leaving the loved one behind and only meeting up again several years later in the last 10 minutes? Sure way of getting me to skim or drop altogether. It's always rushed and unsatisfactory if this occurs in the last few eps. No Exceptions.
I can answer your question about Asperger's Syndrome since I have been diagnosed. What you have said is correct.…
Agreed. Sure, I know someone with Asperger's who is (in my opinion) a mathematical genius.
But I'm not, I failed maths. I'm into the arts. Music and language.
I'm also a girl. With Asperger's. It is so, so, so much harder to get diagnosed when you are a girl. It's like people believe that only boys can have autism. I have a friend who it took her 5 years of actively trying to get a diagnosis before she received one. By then she was an adult, and really, a diagnosis is extremely important during one's early formative years.
And it is extremely difficult to find a quality work of fiction that positively portrays a girl with autism. Almost impossible.

It can be boiled down to this: You meet 50 people with autism, and just that, you have met 50 incredibly individual people with autism.

Yeah, I just mentioned the light because that was the most obvious and easy to describe.
The TV in the background, that always needs to go off. Someone playing music while trying to talk to me, one thing needs to stop. Little children mean immediate evacuation from the vicinity. And parties are atrocious.
I too live in a country where summer is no joke. It can get hot enough to melt candles upside down within a few hours. It takes just a few seconds to turn me into a puddle. I cope with heat very badly. The reason autumn is my favourite season is because it's a long way from summer again.
Also, texture is a really really big thing. I can't tolerate synthetics, absolutely everything MUST be natural fibre. And I will know if it's a blend.
As for driving, I'm considering not even trying for my license, it doesn't seem safe. But that's also because of my other health conditions, such as low blood pressure when upright.
Fortunately, most of my family has Asperger's as well, so they're all very understanding about these things. For example, it's an unspoken rule to never have a three-way conversation through a telephone.

I have been diagnosed with Asperger's as well, and what you have described is very much one of the ways I experience it as well.
Another thing worth mentioning is not just the way one relates to other people, but in the way one experiences the world. Extreme sensitivity to light, sound and other sensations is something worth noting, and something that other people are very unaware of.
One might not like showers, not because of any mundane reason, but because the falling water feels like needles on the skin. Fortunately, this is an example I do not experience.
If I do not wear sunglasses whenever I go outside, I cannot see because the brightness is just that blinding. I also need to wear them inside if there's bright fluorescent lights. I know for a fact, because I have been informed afterwards, that some people feel affronted that I do not take my sunglasses off when I speak to them.
I too loved the brief flash we saw in the preview, and although I have my reservations, it looks promising.
Almost two years on, I'm really glad this was my first Kdrama. It set me up to realise it was worth watching more. Another drama may have chased me away for good. (although I wasn't super fond of the pacing in the last few episodes)
To people commenting on how bad the age gap is: it’s really not, he’s in his thirties and she’s in her early…
I second this. They're both legal adults paid to act, what's the big deal? And from what I've seen, they're both good actors whose popularity seems backed up by ability and experience. Honestly, I'm more concerned about the writing. I hope it lives up to the hype this drama will most definitely attract.

Oh well, I'm relieved they didn't push it back further. Despite the delays and the long wait, we're slowly getting closer.
