E Nebună, Dar E-a Mea (2020)

it makes you feel things

my boyfriend doesn't like kdramas but he absolutely loved this one and I think it says a lot about the kind of drama this is. It's sensible, beautiful and poetic, it speaks to every kind of person. even if you don't like kdramas, even if you don't like romance or the characters in this, you'll understand the meaning behind and it will speak to your heart.

many times you'll get yourself thinking about you, about your childhood or your traumas. It teaches a beautiful lesson about how to deal with those things. It is a masterpiece!

Its okay for the show to be okay

So I believe everything is perfect about the show. From the production to the music, acting, cinematography, characters, art design, story (well almost). As other reviewers have already mentioned how this is a character-driven drama and mostly focuses on the healing of the 3 main characters among other patients in the hospital.

There are a lot of things I loved about this drama. I loved the focus on mental health awareness. There were a lot of side characters whose story was really beautiful and it made me tear up a bit. The show respects all its patients and takes great care of them. Some of them were healed and some of them obviously were in progress.

I loved the writing aspect of the show. The storybook concept was beautifully crafted with the inner lives of our leads and other patients, so it gives a second layer of storytelling to help us understand their struggles. The art again was very well done.
I loved the acting in the show. the actor who played Sang Tae was amazing. Our main romantic leads also had amazing chemistry and the female lead was a revelation to me. I usually don't like KSH, but I really liked him here.

Now let's talk about characters and their development. The best development was obviously among the 2 brothers. their relationship really evolved during the show to not only make them less co-dependent but to value each other more as people and as family. I loved Ju-Ri's mom and other side characters specially Jae-Su Gang Tae's friend and MY's colleagues. Even Ju-Ri and the manager's brief romance was cute. I was a little disappointed was with our female lead whom I found kind of irritating. Because of her personality disorder, every time she would do something chaotic, the viewers will have to rationalize that behavior (its clever writing to excuse her behavior though). Also, I wanted to understand how her APD works but that plot was soon forgotten in the later episodes. I predicted her mom plot in EP-10 itself, but that itself was extremely undercooked.

I totally understand the writer's perspective that MY's craziness was required for Gang Tae to help him release his pent-up frustration and she might be good for him overall. but as a viewer watching MY harass Gang-Tae was uncomfortable to watch. It is why I've left many dramas like Oh My Ghostess.

So while everything was amazing on paper, I seriously could get myself to care about any of the main characters. The plot in itself was extremely draggy, and I myself wanted to drop the show many times. Even the romance could not get me hooked as I was not invested in the romance. Also, like another reviewer mentioned I have a low tolerance for self-loathing and pity so while it can a great drama for others, for me it was meh. But yes I completely appreciate the team behind the show.

~One of my comfort dramas~

I watched this drama when it was airing and I was absolutely in love with this drama, the plot, soundtrack, the trio and Ko Moon Young fashion sense OMG I want her closet
<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------>
●I love how there were different ships going on all through the drama from Moon Young and Gang Tae, the nurse and the manager, Moon Tae best friend and the assistant and the 2 patients etc.
●The animation was sooo beautiful and haunting.
●The scene where Moon Young has sleep paralysis is still soo haunting even after 3 years later amazing acting you can hear the pain and fear in that scream.
●I love how sassy that assistant is I'm sooo happy for herself and Jae So I also love how close both actors are with each other
●I love the animations though some of them were really creepy and made me have goosebumps.
● The storyline with the 2 patients were just soo cute they loved each other soo much
●I love how at the end of each episode there were bts (behind the scenes not the band) or the post-credits scenes.
<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------>
NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT I'VE LEARNED 3 YEARS LATER (it hasn't changed my love for this drama)
<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------>
●At the time it was airing I loved Ko Moon Young "badass attitude" but I've realised that her attitude wasn't cool or powerful it was pretty sure much like a child having a tantrum also he almost killed Moon Gang Tae.
●The plot twist of the nurse being Ko Moon Young mother didn't make any sense AT ALL, we literally saw her father dumping her in the sea and she just resurrected from the dead like HOW DOES THAT WORK????
●Now that I know what the scandal I don't really think much of it I hate how the scandal covers Seo Yea Ji amazing acting skills also I feel this scandal is very one sided it was all "she is soo toxic" "she is soo controlling" "she ruined his life" but remember it takes 2 to tango both parties were toxic to each other but whatever not here to create drama.

An extremely deep and interesting drama
It has its negative and positive points.

At times it is difficult to be patient with the prota's autistic brother, he makes it very difficult for some situations that are even boring, but the performance is undoubtedly impeccable

The protagonist harasses the prota a lot, which I particularly found comical, but often unnecessary, she is a person with mental problems, so she doesn't notice, but it's still unnecessary.

I missed the protagonist's amorous development, I can't see him gradually falling in love, it just seems that he started to like it and that's it

A flawless, audiovisual drama that I've never seen so perfect... Without a doubt memorable and iconic
The plot of the story is spectacular, a very well constructed drama that delivers what it promises
It's so remarkable that you can easily remember details, even after months of watching, it's worth it

95/100

Absolutely amazing from all around.

This show is so amazingly well done.
Amazing production and creativity in story telling and camera work
The main 3 actors and specially the actress is so amazing.
She's very beautiful as well
She brought so much to her role since she also had to go through a lot.
She's also very funny. Most of the funny lines came from her.
And other actors also have great chemistry as well and with her. The older brother might put some people off and sometimes might get on people nerves but he's autistic so that's fine.
I hope so see her and the other main actor in more stuff.
I wish it didn't have to end but I did enjoy the story.

it's okay to be not okay

the drama was unexpectedly having addictive personality . the story was a bit of a horror mode for me but i would recommend not to watch some episode at night especially the ones with her house it's a bit freaking and the main male lead was so good the overall acting of the characters were good the story is ok . it is a very deep story about her and it is quite funny to watch the fights between them i would definitely recommend this drama . the best part about this drama is the unexpected twist I'm not reveling much but the most unexpected person will the Gillian of this story like you would not expect that character just has a supporting role so this is a good drama i wold recommend to my friends

A bit boring in the opening but after a while it got very interesting and WILL KEEP YOU HOOKED.

“The first step is always the hardest. But once you take the first step, things will get easier from then on.”

I haven't seen enough k-dramas that talk about mental illness's like this. They focus on one illness; depression but this drama tells there's more to mental illness than depression.
In the start, I liked it but after the third episode I started to feel like it was really boring but as I moved on; I loved it. And it teaches a lot of lesson too such as the struggles children face with possessive parents and how parents can neglect a child without realizing it.
The cast and acting was so amazing ,I fell for Oh Jung Se and his acting. IT WAS AMAZING.
And Ko Moon Young + Gang Tae's chemistry was off the top awesome.

SPOILER ALERT!!
The only thing I disliked was the story of Moon Young's mum was a bit unrealistic. Even if she had so many surgeries, there's no way that she lived for 2 decades on no one knew who she was.

WOOOOOW
Definitely became one of my favourite ever
finally I found something that worth watching with a great epilogue

This drama was soooooo emotional
I enjoyed every second watching it
I even dreamt with many times ?? LOL

The plot was great
The story was solid
It had it all
Comic , drama, romance, anger, villains, psycho issues and how to deal with
But as usual
It's always Mother's fault ??

I only hated the ML acting a little bit, I think he should work more on his facial expressions
The FL was extremely amazing

Jung se was brilliant in his role
And the head Dr was amazing I loved him

I liked that the main leads were clinging to each other and decided to cross anything together

This drama had no cheap repeated cliches

The romance was brilliant and it was in its place really
I had butterflies many many times

The only thing I wished was to see the mother got a proper punishment not just being jailed

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

A perfect balance entertainment of romance, crime/mystery, family drama, comedy.

A perfect balance entertainment of romance, crime/mystery, family drama, comedy.

A well casted show, from the lead cast to the supporting characters.. The plot of the story started as if it was like any other kind of RomCom. In this one, girl meets boy and liked him on the spot. Pursued and annoyed him relentlessly until they became friends.

Both of them, bruised and battered by the past but together they've overcome every obstacles, doubts, fears and insecurities.

It was heart warming too see the relationship between the brothers, the relationship between mother and daughter, even the friendships around the ML and FL. The side stories of the supporting characters were well written, it didn't feel like a bunch of unsubstantial stories pierced together just to create a bigger picture. This one is really worth watching..

**STORY**
I loved the plot a lot. It's my first time seeing this kind of drama, so i wad geniunely impressed while watching it.

**ACTING/CAST**
The performance was amazing. The chemistry was overflowing, the way Seo Yeaji portrayed Ko Moon Young and made her a relatable, baddas, and a strong character was perfect.

I also liked how Oh Jung se portrayed an autistic character so perfectly, when you are an amazing actor you are capable of it.

**MUSIC**
