As someone who thinks that the romance is absolutely vital to Young-woo's journey, I don't think that the primary…
You explain it perfectly. I was trying to find the right words but yes, it’s portraying a romance between an autistic & NT person but it’s more about YW navigating various emotion that’s all very new to her & serves as a growth-experience for her. Because the romance isn’t the genre, it’s more so YW’s first experience at love.
When EW tells SP making a therapy doll for his patient is bit like acupuncture (sewing with needles) he’s still helping her even if he can’t acupuncture anymore ✨
Whether you like the romance is subjective. IMO the romance is still an integral part of the story because it portrays a relationship between an autistic person & NT person. And it’s important for YW to have gone through some experience at love because hey autistic people are capable of falling in love & loving someone-being loved. Also, when will we ever get another drama that portrays this kind of relationship? Most likely never.
I'm at episode 23, and I love the FL, absolutely adore her - but I don't know why, the ML is just not compelling…
I felt the same way lol. When I first watched the first few ep. I could not warm up to LBY at all. I adore SS & ZLS as the FL.
During & after the Hua County arc, he sort of grew on me. Behind that stoic exterior he seems like a very chill & caring guy. He’s definitely not the most interesting but I think he has some charms (in a nuance way)
I don’t have an issue with him being a competent general. As long as he’s not a crown prince, I’m good lol.
Personally not a Leo Wu fan but I think I like him here more than other projects he’s in.
I am still a huge advocate for this drama, but I was a bit disappointed with the most recent episodes. And I am…
I don’t have an issue JH written as a simple ordinary guy. The juxtaposition between YW & JH and to show an ordinary (NT) person in relationship to an autistic person is intentional. Given that this drama is YW story first & foremost.
My only gripe is JH is written too idealistic to an extent that it’s unrealistic even in a fictional context because he’s not given development. It’s like he’s looking at the world & people through flowery lenses. He understands it’s hard to love YW because she’s autistic but he can’t figure out why others dislike or disapprove his relationship with YW when it’s because she’s autistic. It’s also never addressed either. JH can’t happily love his way into a relationship. You have to talk about it and we rarely see YW & JH talk about anything (outside of work & whales).
I haven’t reached Ep 20 yet. I’m trying to finish up so I can start part 2 😆
Right! I watched this as it aired back in July but I had other things to watch so I put this on hold. Now I’m trying to binge it. I want to get in the fun with part 2 😆
I remember watching this drama for the 1st & was completely flabbergasted by the ending. 😭Never moving on. It’s one of those drama that leaves an impression on you.
Superb cinematography, directing from acting & music. Even the editing. It’s well executed! Great cast too.
SS saying she wants to live a simple peaceful life with LY & not marry a general but little does she know that’s what’s going to happen?? OMG 🤣😆😆 Talk about jinxing yourself lol.
Y’all should really check out the OG Manhua if you enjoy this drama!
Ashina Sun is alright here but he’s even better in the comics. Plus he has more personality & isn’t a know-do it all. Chang Ge story arc is better in the comic too.
SS reading erotic love stories to study about love with LY 😆😆😆😆
But she’s right. Why can’t there be scrolls about women building things & walking side by side as equal with men! She’s truly a girl ahead of her time!✨😤
I’m a fan of mother & the handmaiden. Judging from the trailer it might veer off a bit makjang but it’s good that it’s only 12 ep. Y’know it’s going to be full of twist.
Plus we got a women director & writer for this joint so that’s really neat!✨
But as for now I think he’s fine. I honestly didn’t like him much when I started watching the earlier Ep lol.
During & after the Hua County arc, he sort of grew on me. Behind that stoic exterior he seems like a very chill & caring guy. He’s definitely not the most interesting but I think he has some charms (in a nuance way)
