Romance was good, mental health stuff not so much

I love the leads and was really liking their kindling romance....but I didn't like the split personality aspect at all. Obviously, this isn't real life nor is it based on real life, but IF someone you knew started showing signs of multiple personalities, you'd probably contact or advise they see a mental health professional (which, granted this topic was touched on, but only like three times). This could've been a great way to shed light on/normalize/highlight DID in the k-film industry in a super healthy way! OR in a realistic and not-so-healthy way....instead, we had something in between, where we didn't exactly recognize an actual mental health issue and sort of made light of it using romance...does that make sense? I'm not entirely sure how to put my feelings into writing, but the whole alter aspect felt icky.

Also, there were way too many surprise plots in the very last episode...and we never even got to see the reunion between Mu-hee and her mother!

BUT I really do like the translator and actress dynamic, that's a super cute and intriguing trope!
