I’m a “Social Watcher.” “Apparently I get extra satisfaction when I talk about the drama with other people. It ain’t fun unless I share it. “😂
I am literally the only person in my social circle that watches these dramas. I have no one I can share them with. 😂 Honestly, if I did this would be spot on. This how I am with American movies and shows..

I just watched “A Piece of Your Mind,” and it was a good slow burn. A reviewer said, “it’s like a warm cup of tea on a rainy day.” I agree. It’s oddly comforting and relaxing. I actually started this drama because I was told it was similar.

Yes, You’re correct. I do remember his hearing aids being broken but it was vague about how it was broken. I’m wondering if something got lost in the subtitle translation. That standing in the rain would have certainly done the trick. Watching this it is clear to me the care that went into it. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I have related to the story. Now I’m totally convinced his hearing aids broke because they got wet. 😆

Thank you!

Also I really liked how they made the distinction between the totally deaf and the hearing impaired being two separate groups. In the episode where the ML is thinking he doesn’t completely fit in anywhere. Totally heartbreaking and true. My husband has experienced these feelings as well. I would give anything for my husband to hear better. Also the part where they couple up the ML and that horrible Maya just because they both struggle with hearing loss. That hits home too. My husband was encouraged by his deaf mother (it’s hereditary in his family) to marry someone hearing impaired. She didn’t think someone with “perfect ears,” (her words not mine) would be good for him. My husband loves that I can hear good. He’s like, “one of us needs to,” and laughs about it. I can be his ears when he misses something.

I’m on episode 8 and I am loving it. My husband is severely hearing impaired like the ML, so there is much I can relate too. They get so much of the struggle right that I’m sure they did their research, but I have to point out something silly that they got wrong…
THOSE HEARINGS AIDS CANNOT GET WET!!!!
Hearing aids for that severe of hearing loss do not come cheap. My husband’s last pair cost $8,500 USD. So I’m cringing hard when I see them splashing around in the water, and also the episode where ML is standing in rain. What the heck? My husband freaks out when any water gets near his hearing aids. No way he would allow water splashing near his ears. It’s a real hardship for the hearing impaired. They depend on their hearing aids to hear so they are overly protective of them. I just can’t imagine that getting past them when filming with the water.
Just had to point that out. Otherwise, so far, this has been perfect.

I loved your appreciation in the subtle details. Did you notice the line a dialogue, said by YW, at the dinner table, in almost a whisper, after the the table reading where Jae Ha grabbed his face and made him cry…

Jae Ha’s girl says, “Do you enjoy acting?” YW says (under his breath) “Do you think acting is fun? Maybe it can be. I’ll make it fun.”

I think YW is just a punk kid bored with fame and all that comes with it. He was being forced to act in a play he had zero interest in. When Jae He made his impassioned acting speech where he grabbed his face, I think it was at that moment YW decided to mess with Jae Ha, who cared too much about acting, to “have a little fun.”
