Couldn’t be any better

This was my first K-drama and it hooked me in, I fell in love. From the storyline, to the characters (and actors), to the music, to the comical sound effects. The main characters are great and portray their characters very well, especially the ML, I love his acting style in this. The directing is excellent and I just love the sound cute effects. I have struggled to find another drama that compares with this, it’s a 10 out of 10 all round, even 3 years later after the second watching and many more dramas on my list. I would love to see a season 2 made. I don’t know if I will find one that beats it, it will always hold a special place for me.

A lovely story

A lovely story about a young autistic woman finding her way in the world and overcoming the prejudice she faces through her brilliance in her field.

It lost some points for the savant bit - as savantism is actually incredibly rare, but over done. And she was a walking autistic stereotype - in a “high functioning” individual it is unlikely that they would be quite as autistic as Woo Young Woo. I think this would have been helped by having more neurodivergent input into the making. Despite that, I really enjoyed the story.

I found the depictions of how Woo Young Woo was affected by noise, and her little idiosyncrasies well done, it captures the overwhelm really well.
I love the use of wales as her special interest, I like that she uses her friends and family to learn about life and how to deal with the world around her, I like the education aspect. The greeting between Young Woo and her friend was brilliant!
The child actor that played Young Woo was really very good, she portrayed a young autistic child very well.

I will certainly watch this again.
