About

"Romance that treats mental illness with real care"

A Korean drama about a bestselling novelist and radio host with a fear of commitment who ends up sharing a house with a psychiatry resident, along with the resident's brother, who lives with a mental health condition. As they cohabit, prickly banter gives way to something gentler, while the show quietly digs into trauma, family wounds, and mental illness without turning maudlin. It moves at a relaxed, conversational pace, leaning on warm chemistry between leads and a script that treats therapy and healing as ongoing work rather than a tidy fix.

Watch it for

the way it folds mental health and trauma into a romance without flattening either.

Maybe skip if

you want a breezy rom-com, since this one sits with grief and illness at length.

Jang Jae Yeol is a writer of bestselling mystery novels and a radio DJ. Playful and a bit arrogant, he also suffers from obsessive–compulsive disorder. Ji Hae Soo is a psychiatrist on her first year of fellowship. Driven and ambitious with her career yet compassionate towards her patients, Hae Soo has a negative attitude towards love and relationships in her personal life. Once Jae Yeol and Hae Soo meet, there is much contention between them caused by their strong personalities and refusal to give in to each other. But slowly their bickering turns into love, and they begin to learn how compatible they are. Jae Yeol and Hae Soo attempt to heal each other's deep-seated wounds, but their fledgling relationship takes a blow when they learn that Jae Yeol's mental health issues are more serious than they initially suspected.
