Everything I like in a k-drama but unfortunately one big flaw that drags it down

This drama has just about everything that I love in a K-drama combining important issues with humor and fluff. Not only does it have a very fluffy dog but also allot of fluffy moments and a sweet, sweet ost. the drama has great side characters who show typical K-drama development making you annoyed in the beginning but leading you to fall in love with them by the end. The drama also shows a person who likes to cross dress as a competent and complex human being who is more than just a stereotype, yet manage to show the reality this person faces in a day to day life. The drama also touches issues such as poverty, mental illness but mostly violence against woman in various forms. All things making this drama worth a watch. Add a great OST and one might wonder why I did not give this drama 10 stars.

There is one reason, and one reason only for the lack of stars, though the female lead does show some character development, the way she is written is a bit off and rather adds to mental illness stereotypes than breaking them. Also conveying people who have dealt with trauma as completely broken, and yes that bothers me. I am not saying that there is a right or wrong way to deal with trauma. And can not say that I fully understand her state of mind. Some people may be able to identify with her and if that is the case all the power to you. what bothers me is that this is this feels to stereotypical and that I have seen this before adding on this notion of broken , crazy and paranoid woman also used as well as showing us it as an excuse to treat others badly. The state they show her in is one where she is so paranoid she needs allot of protection and though she is getting help her state is so extreme that it is letterly dangerous for both her and people around her to let her walk the streets = A person who should get more help and stay in an institution until she stabilises = not the typical victim. And yes I am team there should be no shame in going to a mental institution when needed. to add to this her character development is to extreme for the lack of help offered to her. And yes that bothers me.

She does however have allot of great lines. the male lead is a complex antihero but a sweetheart for most parts (but he does contradict himself) and the show overall is mostly entertaining with mostly good humor, but unfortunately also some humor that just makes me go oh come on, and how the h*** is this funny.

So overall definitely worth a watch, just dont judge it by the first episode.

p.s. Lee Su Hyuns character and singing rocks in this! gave me a new crush, not bad for a supporting role.
