On his birthday
bestselling author Jang Jae Yeols (Jo In Sung) older brother is released from
prison for the murder of their father. While celebrating, Jae Yeol doesn’t
notice his brother’s arrival; his brother walks up and stabs him in the
shoulder several times. At the trial Jae Yeol begs for a reduced charge as he
has forgiven his brother, though his brother swears when he gets out he’ll kill
him.
Few years later Jae
Yeol started writing crime novels instead of the usual romance novels, which
has made one of his loyal fans Ji Hae Soo (Gong Hyo Jin) dislike him. Hae Soo
is a physicist at the psychic ward at a hospital, and works with patients from
all kinds of mental illnesses. She herself has anxiety: she is afraid of any
form of romantic skin ship. The two meet for the first time in a show which
discusses the psychological situation in Jae Yeols new crime book. And this
makes Jae Yeol interested in Hae Soo, though the interest isn’t requited.
They meet again when
Jae Yeol moves into the house where Hae Soo lives, which surprisingly is the
house he owns, and the hospital as well. Soon the two start to fall for
another, but things are weird with Jae Yeol as he seems to have some issues
that go beyond the physical…
Sorry for the crappy
summary, it is better than what I make it to be L
This is by far one of
the best, if not the best drama, of the year! It has everything a drama from
2014 has to have and much more. The clichés are almost not there and it’s
really innovative: from the characters and the storyline all the way to the
screenplay. I love it; I think I still can’t get over it.
From the beginning to
the end, every single minute is entertaining, and so is every side story. I
even liked the OST! Not a single thing is bad, except for the fact that my
standards for a good drama has risen by a lot.
All in all not only
recommendable, but also a must watch!

Kamji's Verdict
Kamji's Verdict
Ah, I still
can’t get over this drama. It was perfect in every possible way. It may sound
as an exaggeration, but while watching it, you don’t have one negative thought
about it, you just silently wish this drama would never end. It had its
moments, sometimes you would smile, laugh, cry and even curse, (I curse when I suddenly
realize something, I didn’t before, and that happened a lot in this drama, it
took me by surprise over and over). So I agree with Bunji, when she called it
the best drama of 2014 so far. I'm going to start looking for a man like Jang Jae
Yeol.
