I was waiting for the show to air on Netflix in my region for a couple of months now. It just got added this week so I binge-watched it in a couple of days (which I now absolutely regret, so I started rewatching it at a slower pace).

I have been personally dealing with depression half of my life, and I've come a long way, however, this show managed to open old wounds that I've ignored and in a way, make me realize that I need to heal as opposed to just living in a numb state of mind.

The main characters have all done an outstanding job at their roles. Kim Soo Hyun as the loving, caring brother, who bottles everything up, Ye Ji as the writer that can't connect to or seem to process her feelings and lastly, Oh Jung Se with his beautiful portrayal of someone with Autism. The stories and the messages they entail are where the beauty lies. I also absolutely loved the Tim Burton type of animation incorporated into most of the episodes. The cinematography was marvelous.

I finished watching the show yesterday morning and I've had a lump in my throat ever since. It gave me all the feels, from sadness to being frustrated/ angry to weeping like a babe to pure happiness. And although there was one revelation at the beginning of episode 15 that felt anticlimactic, it was so trivial to me because the story and the focus on the emotional healing was what made the show, so it really didn't bother me as I considered it a side thing.

I don't think I'll be getting over this show anytime soon, and I recommend watching it at a slower pace and not binging in order to appreciate the shows beauty in the smallest details.
