It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will make you want more episodes. This drama is almost nearly perfect but when I say nearly perfect, it’s just the last episode to me, was written like super quickly, especially the last 15 minutes of the drama. Other than that, the drama is witty. It’s funny. It’s unique and it’s own way. The whole cast acts brilliantly, and the storylines are really well written. There were some things that I probably changed, but that’s just me being nitpicky. The chemistry between the main leads are phenomenal. It’s definitely a must watch.

It’s has an excellent storyline from start to finish with a phenomenal cast who all acted their butts off in this one. Each episode's story/arch portrayed the patient's perspective on mental illness through both eyes which was done beautifully and respectfully except for one where I thought it turned out a bit sour. I understood they wanted the drama to take a mid dark spin but they used him so carelessly for the main lead at one point to further main lead’s arch. (Trying to not spoil anything) Other than that love the drama to pieces. Park Bo Young was amazing in this. Fair warning, it does have many triggers if you’re sensitive to this type of subjects.

Another one of those unfortunate dramas that suffered from uneven episodes. First half of the drama was amazing, probably one of my favorites I’ve seen in awhile, while the middle part completely fell apart, and last part was just meh. Male lead has a definite wompy storyline here, so if you like that sort of thing this will be right up your style (he’s amazing in historical storylines too, I think this is my first time seeing him in a modern role and he delivers on point here too, one of my favs). With this drama the storyline isn’t too complicated so you can skip around parts if needed especially when it gets dull. It’s the typical melodrama rich family with mother and siblings wanting to take over one another while main leads get in the way of everyone story but done in a unique way. Chemistry is excellent between both leads too. Overall I did enjoy it, it just could have been so much more.

Please Don’t Date Him. 7

Comparable to: ?

This is a weird cookie cutter nutter romcom drama that’s absolutely not to be taken seriously at all. Although beneath its craziness, the last couple episodes, there’s a nice message to not judge or bully anyone especially from hearing it from rumors or gossip. Both main leads have wonderful chemistry as well as the rest of the cast. There’s quite some uneven episodes. Sometimes it drag, then rushed very fast. It could have used better editing. Is it a perfect drama, far from it. On the other hand it’s a cute fun quick drama too.
