Thank god there were only 10 episodes...I think I'd probably die from dehydration if there were more than 10 episodes of this drama. Every minute of every episode is a tear jerker. Good grief, I didn't know I even HAD this many tears to cry. Basically everyone is sad and the world is a sad shitty place. I mean clearly they make the show mostly about finding peace amidst the pain, but gosh is there so much pain represented here. Though, even with all the pain, I did like that we weren't forced to watch countless unrealistic happy endings; everything was bittersweet, it doesn't try to fill the sorrow holes it creates with bunches of fake flowers. My advice, if you watch this drama, make sure you drink lots of fluids.

The drama itself had a pretty basic storyline, it was well crafted but not complex. There were a crap ton of social messages, but they weren't invasive and were well integrated. Nothing about this drama was invasive at all. It didn't really ask you to think or figure things out, it basically only asked you to cry along with everyone else watching it as events unfold. The acting was decent, the main character did a pretty great performance as an autistic kid, especially with not making eye contact. There is generally a lot of criticism when actors try to play autism spectrum roles, "he didn't do this right or that right"...but the reality is that there are so so many different points on the autism spectrum and not every autistic person responds the same. This actor hit enough of the right points to make the character believable without being overacted, gimmicky, or grotesque.

Really, the main character being autistic was convenient for the story because it separated out emotional response from logical response and allowed the viewer to consider both aspects. It also gave the viewers a refuge from the constant pouring rainfall of sadness and allowed them to experience aspects of the story they might not have been able to experience without that sort of grounding logic-based reasoning. They played off this really well throughout the drama, allowing the side-characters to react emotionally and leap to conclusions while the lead character always brought everything back down to earth with a more macro view of the situation.

Overall, it was a really well executed simple drama. I see a lot of reviews wanting a season 2, since it's a Netflix drama and the ending is left sort of open for a sequel. If they end up dropping a season 2 I will watch it....but I will definitely pick the right day to watch it when my poor sensitive heart won't bust in two. SO MUCH LIQUID CAME OUT OF MY FACE HOLES....
