Partially true, I'd say. The female lead is indeed considered plain because of glasses and frizzy hair, and also because of her utilitarian office shoes and wardrobe. But the male lead's reasons for liking her a bit more complicated than that

Completely agree. I have been thinking the same thing. He either knew that his chances of inheriting the disease from his father are very high and that conversation with his stepmother was based on this. Or what is a lot more likely is that he got his diagnosis a while back, and not in the beginning of the drama. This would also explain his indifferent attitude towards his wife. He's purposefully pushing her away as he doesn't plan on ever telling her the truth. His symptoms got a lot worse in the 2nd episode and that's why he visited the doctor as a followup checkup then. By the way, this hasn't yet been clarified in the 3rd or 4th episode.

That getting divorced can be so tricky and difficult in Korea, if both parties are not willing. This fact never came across to me before, and it made me think about how it would be in other Asian countries, and I realized, it wouldn't be any easier in same situation where both parties are not agreeing to the divorce. I can think of plenty of countries where it would be harder in fact. So in that sense, the drama is very eye opening.

Maybe its just me who never realized this before, but the one interesting aspect of this drama for me is...

I'm revising my theory after watching the 4th episode. Both the husband and wife clearly still love each other (based on husband saying he loves his wife too much, and that's the problem. Also based on wife's reaction). The husband most likely got his diagnosis a while ago, and not in the 2nd episode. His symptoms probably got a lot worse in the 2nd episode. Ever since his diagnosis, he's been purposefully distancing himself from his wife as he doesn't want her to take care of him as the disease progresses. And he doesn't want to pass the disease on to his children, so he's completely adamant on not having any. This would explain his indifferent attitude for most of the time. Sometimes, he does forgets things as has been shown from 1st episode and that would come off as rude indifference too.

I was recommended to watch Hello Monster because it has some of the same elements as He's Psychometric (which I was crazy about and has very interesting and unique relationship dynamics, both platonic and romantic). You can try He's Psychometric (if you haven't already seen it). I'm about to start watching Hello Monster for the same reason :)

Game of Thrones, there were some articles comparing the visual backdrop and story elements of the drama to it.

Please mark this as a spoiler. P.S. that's a solid theory

She's the most solid character in this drama tbh

Yep, that's the weakest point of this drama *facepalm*

Whoa. I need to pay more attention to these tiny details, lol

That is very perceptive of you. I wonder if he's an angel on the same team/side as Kim Dan.

I'm laughing so hard at this, there's something about putting all those insanely ridiculous coincidences in one paragraph. Good Lord, do these writers even realize what they are writing. Dramas need to realize that we like dramas with no childhood connection way more, period.

Let's wait and see. 99% of the time all k-drama trailers for next episodes are intentionally misleading.

That is what is so epic about this drama. We're losing our minds, going in shipper over-driver mode over the ML and FL, with only 3 episodes. That goes to show how well written, well acted and well directed the production is.

Totally agree about Let's Eat 2 (haven't watched WFKBJ). If the childhood connection is genuinely bringing something to the story, then its worth it. Same for: Kill It. The childhood connection was a vital and organic part of the storyline. Otherwise, the way it is in majority k-dramas, that's just nuts. Who even cares about some random childhood encounter. I can't even x__x

I know right. It's the most face-palm thing about k-dramas. It seems that the cardinal rule of k-drama land is this: no truly destined love is possible without some ridiculous childhood connection. It only serves to cheapen the story and to make it unrealistic. Drives me bonkers every single time.

The OST is perfect. I want all the songs right now, its driving me crazy, I have rewound and watched some scenes a million times already to hear the OST. Gah, I need help.

There are two black and white poster which are even duller. It's setting the tone for the drama I'd guess.

Yep, just from watching the trailer and from the writer/director duo's previous work, it is a safe bet to say that this is going to be deep and contemplative, maybe even slow paced. I'm looking forward to it with the right expectations. You're spot-on about the color tones, its setting the mood for the drama.
