Comfort Drama? Acknowledged!

I know, I know, this is a big and famous one. But who can say differently? Everything about this just fits perfectly, from acting over story up until scenery, editing, Music, ... I should stop, right? Most of us have seen and loved this one. If you haven't - hop on!

I really really liked the portrayal of different mental health issues and how they affect life and the people around us. As someone who struggles with those kind of things myself, this was so comforting yet eye opening to watch. I could shout the title of this drama from the rooftops, because it IS ok not to be ok - and the world should know. All of these actors deserve their own cathegory in the hall of fame - they make me feel like acting isn't merely a job they do, but a passion they pursue. Jo Yong really outdid herself while coming up with this story - creating a world that is scary, painful yet filled with beauty and compassion. Each characters individual charm, or lack thereof makes them relateable - I think all of us can relate to one or the other trait in some of those characters.

While my soul hurt while watching the characters struggle and wind to find their way through all different kind of struggles, it hurt even more letting this Drama go. My wish to not see a second season of this only testifies to not disappointing from beginning to the end.

I wish for all of us to experience lighthearted moments in our lifes, I hope we all get to gain strength from this and realize that all issues can be resolved, that we can rely on others and ask for help but mos importantly l I wish for every person to realize that it's ok not to be ok sometimes.

Talking about real stuff

Well...mostly at least. Although I found this drama very lengthy, it carries a special place in my heart due to the things that are talked about. Taboo topics that aren't very well spoken of in some countries are put into the spotlight in this drama - which I'm a sucker for. I honestly love people who use their public platform to speak about gender, racism and self developement in any form.

The following might be very controversial, brace yourselves (no spolers don't worry)

To be completely honest, there is none but one character in this Drama that I actually like...and the one I do like is a support role (hurray Kim Donghee). It's hard to say why I don't like these characters without giving spoilers but what I can say is, that I'm not a big fan of selfish "step over another" people. Nevertheless (Song Kang stans hands up) I guess not really liking any of the characters makes this drama even more charming, since you don't really have anyone to root for and, in my case, can watch without really caring what happens to the individuals.

I know I have been quite hard on this drama but it is only because most people know of it or have even seen it...so maybe people know what I'm talking about.

The overall acting as well as the production are perfect, all of these Actors and Actresses reall unterstood their assignments portraying their roles.

I'm guessing I am pretty torn between liking and disliking this one, so I really think it depends on taste and preference in story and development thereof.

Wholesome and Gruesome go hand in hand for this one

Though the times I watched this drama weren't easy and I had barely any motivation to smile or engage in anything, I found myself enjoying this Drama, even laughing and crying whilst following the characters throughout the story. The concept and idea of this story, although I have not read the webtoon I find the overall implementation of it very felicitous.

The subject and main story seems to be on the heavier side, with death and tragedy not far. Nevertheless the drama itself, the lighthearted jokes and scenes as well as the mood set make it an "easy to enjoy" Drama.

generally speaking the cast seems to be in line with eachother, their characters and the storyline, making this drama, though scifi/fantasy, very believable and relateable. I was specifically impresed with Jo Byeonggyu's outstanding acting and couldn't imagine anyone else fit for the role.

It took me 30 Minutes...

...to absolutely fall in love with this show. Could it be, that I myself am in my twenties and really felt understood through the themes, hardships, and happy times in this drama? I don't know. Due to the plots and Storyline being this relatable, I was able to grow through this show, mainly because it pointed out how insecure and below our worth we present ourselves sometimes. It taught me and brought some healing in certain areas because I felt understood and less alone. If there are Dramas about situations that we feel lost and completely alone, there must be others out there feeling the exact same as I do, making the same mistakes not once but maybe twice.

This Drama showed me the beauty of friendship and how you grow not only within yourself but within your group of friends if you're ready to fight and make up. To speak your mind and have each other's back even in times where you'd rather slap the other silly.

I can only recommend watching this Drama. Not only because of the (literal) paragraph written previously but also because of chemistry amongst the cast, the production, and the many many many jokes and funny arguments.
