What I really loved about this drama was the titles of each episode and how they managed to link them to Mun Yeong's books, and the themes they covered❤it really just gets better and better

At the moment I'm only on the third episode, so I don't have a complete vision of the product and therefore any things I can say at the moment I could change them during the viewing of subsequent episodes. Having said that, however, taking into account that we are still seeing a fictional product and not a news story and that therefore the whole scene is constructed to be done in that way, I would like to make some observations: Kang-tae was an idiot to leave Sang-tae alone in all that confusion, because he knows very well that what happened could have happened; and the reason why he didn't want to join the queue is just stupid pride, so as not to give Moon-young satisfaction after she told her that they would never see each other again, so I partly blame Kang-tae for what he is success. That said, I'm speaking in a general way, in Asia there is a little less awareness of mental disorders or conditions like autism, things that have also been well covered in other recent dramas like Extraordinary Attorney Woo and Daily Dose of Sunshine, so aggressive or fearful reactions towards these people are common. I said Asia, yes, but obviously it's like this in general, even in my country, although there are some situations that are a little more virtuous than others in this aspect, although people remain as such and you can find assholes as well as good people everywhere , but I didn't want to convey a discriminatory message to an entire continent, for goodness sake, that wasn't my aim. As usual Moon-young, who by now we can say we understand how she is made, in trying to help in her own way, I think she has done more damage than good, mainly towards herself and her career, although if her gesture is adorable, even if I wonder how it is possible that only now it turns out that she is a caustic bitch all this time, I mean, no matter how many bundles of money her producer Lee Sang-in releases to cover everything up, in the age of smartphones and social media , I'm surprised things about his shitty character didn't come out sooner. Having said that, there is one thing to say: while in the West bad publicity is in some cases still publicity that can help you (in my country it is full of characters with shitty personalities who are always popular and in the spotlight) to build your success, in Korea, but always in general in the Asian area, is completely the opposite: it constantly happens that people from the world of entertainment have to apologize for things that in the West would not interest anyone, so imagine when a celebrity does a scene like the one seen in this episode. There is indeed a completely different mindset, absolute rigor is expected, which I find fascinating on the one hand, because it is what characterizes their culture, but on the other it is also what characterizes the various mental health problems that have there and which have led some artists to reckless gestures. However, I am mixing up various cultural aspects a bit too generically, I realize, but the gist of what I wanted to say is that the scenes in which there seems to be a mass revolt against Ko Moon-young, even if he had killed someone , is quite believable in Korean reality. That's all. However, now we know why in the first episode Sang-tae had a crisis: the work helmet was tightening on the back of his head, pulling his hair, like that guy in line.
I assume that the story of Kang-tae and Sang-tae's mother's death will be one of the key plot points of the drama, as well as the story of Moon-young's parents, but I have no comments to make about it at the moment.
I was definitely drawn to this drama, I like this constant reference to fairy tales with things that happen in the episodes, then the characters are well written and interpreted, I like the dynamics between the two protagonists, extremely different and Seo Yea-ji is divine, a unique stage experience and excellent actress.
Thanks for the reaction.

I'm glad you're enjoying the storyline so far, it's really intriguing how many issues are actually being discussed so far. I know it's gonna be a rollercoaster of a journey with this show. 😂🥰

@@Mimithestan Yes, there is no shortage of emotions, he knows how to strike at the heart. But what attracts me the most are the human relationships between the characters, it makes you want to see more together because they are interesting and it's pleasant to see what they bring out of each other.

Gang-tae and Sang-tae have lived on their own for many years, ever since they both were kids. Gang-tae works in the medical field, where hours can be grueling and long. I would absolutely assume that in the roughly decade and a half period since their mother died, Sang-tae has been left on his own In a multitude of situations. We just happen to enter their lives in this particular situation, and we know with the benefit of hindsight what actually ends up happening. Gang-tae had no such benefit, and has probably seen his brother blow up many times, as well as seen him be perfectly fine many times. The possibility of it happening is just par for the course in their lives. He may be his brother’s keeper, but he cannot, and should not watch him 24-7.
