I can't believe that I have put this drama off for so long. I've been hearing about it since I first started watching them and was planning on watching it after I finished Queen of Tears but obvious recent events put me off. I won't be mentioning any of the controversies regarding the main leads because this review is purely about the show.

I had no idea that this drama was so heavily focused on mental health or that most of the drama would take place in a mental health facility but as someone who's not only a psych major but also has mental issues of my own, this drama hit very close to home.

I loved that we not only got to learn about the main characters and how they started to accept their past and work on themselves but also seeing the characters in the facility and their stories was amazing. Usually when I watch dramas, I don't care at all about most side characters but I got so attached to this drama. There wasn't one single weak episode and even the side characters were amazing actors.

I also love how this drama went against so many common tropes that typically upset me, for example: didn't make Munyeong forgive her father when he was dying because the trauma doesn't just go away just because he's dying. This is genuinely one of the best k-dramas out there and I will 100% go back to this and bring up everything it did correctly whenever other shows make me mad lol.
