Aside from the high quality production/editing/sound mixing/visuals at all times, excellent delivery (by the entire cast) of well-written and memorable lines, interesting cases/developments/topics, and personalities that you probably won't forget after watching.. This show does something very well : Visibility. Not only do you learn a vulgar amount of Whale and Dolphin facts! But it presents a topic that is covered appropriately with the intent to even educate the viewers (autism, amongst other) with a lot of thought and care put into it.. while maintaining the viewer entranced. Still, the way everyone has a role to play and actually matters (as well as some being very likeable, and in the case of the lead, mesmerizing) is what made the show for me.. setting the bar high for any other production of this type. I specially like that even the "romance" is well founded/introduced/formed.
Although, I have to say that I enjoyed the first 5 episodes the most. After that, there are some slower moments with expected cliches/tropes that (frankly) the series could have done without. Knowing now that there will be a season 2 also helps, because the ending isn't particularly satisfactory and made the story feel a tad incomplete.. or more appropriately, capable of giving more.
Can't give it enough praises.. but it would be a shame not to tell others to give this a chance.
Easy recommendation! And now, one of my favorite Korean Dramas to date.
