Thank you for your feedback 🙏🏼 ~ I hope we get to see even more emphasis on mental health and the treatment of mental problems in future dramas :)
I wonder, since you have experience working with mental patients, do you think the misrepresentation of mental illness in dramas has declined / improved? Once in a while I see a drama where I have to close all eyes and ears when I hear a so-called therapist say something unfitting.

Thank you :)

Oh, I actually remember reading your review on the drama a while back :)
Doesn’t it kind of feel like it’s all gonna be okay, when you can relate to something so sensitive and unique as mental health in a drama?
I‘m impressed whenever a character has the same job as me, let alone face a similar mental health struggle.

Thank you for your feedback ~

In 2021 he stepped out shortly after PS and there are many reports&pictures on it. It looked botched but apparently he got it somewhat fixed afterwards.
In his case you can clearly see a difference in nose, chin and overall skin tightness.
You can google it to see the images :)

Interesting to know! I noticed that dramas tend to refrain from actually stating the exact form of therapy they want to portray. Maybe it's a way to avoid misrepresenting it or attaching a name to it.

True ~ they would fit this list of dramas as well.
Mad For Each Other was a lot of fun to watch. ~ enemies to lovers + healing? Yes please :D

Oh I remember that!
Love that a more taboo subject was front and center without it being portrayed as something ridiculous.

That would be another example of inpatient psychiatric care 👍🏼
I ultimately decided to go with Soul Mechanic since I found it to be less dramatizing. But IONTBO surely belongs to this genre of dramas :)

For the sake of the article's length I only focused on dramas that featured some sort of therapist but in MLN they used journaling, which is known to be therapeutic as well. I too keep many quotes of that drama near and dear to my heart.
Have you considered making your own liberation notebook? :)

Haven’t heard of that variety show as of yet but it sure sounds calming.
I decided to only include dramas that portray actual therapy in the article ~ however "Meet Yourself" feels very healing. Also the scenery is so beautiful :0

sounds like I need to add it to my watchlist asap :D
After seeing Lee Min Ki in My Liberation Notes, I have high hopes for his performances:)

Thank you for the feedback <3
Do you have a favorite healing drama? ~ I’m always on the lookout for the next drama therapy session :D

I was a bit worried to add "Dinner Mate“ given some of it‘s critical reviews but I‘m glad to know that someone else enjoyed it too :D ~ hope you‘ll like the other dramas too <3

Both Dinner Mate & Soul Mechanic have romance although I wouldn’t recommend them as "great“ love stories :) I found the therapy aspect to be the most appealing.

Thank you 🙏🏼 ~ glad you liked it

Thank you for the feedback ~ as a writer newbie I highly appreciate it ☺️

Ah the screenshots! I have lots of them too ~ but I totally feel you. I have a soft spot for DIY dramas or anything in dramas that could be useful to me in real life.
Do you ever go back and look at the screenshots? I have yet to master that skill ^^

Haha! Oh yes, retail therapy is one of my favorites too. Too bad it costs more than an actual therapist, when you practice it a lot.😭 😂

The title is certainly already intriguing. Psych ward movies tend to bei either very tragic or surprisingly heartwarming. What impression did you get from the movie? :)

Love that another, more recent drama features some variation of food therapy!
I‘ll have to check the drama out now that I know it :D
