Inappropriate, if there is a loveline. (I whisper dramatically and chuckle awkwardly as I think of my love for It's okay that is love and Kill me Heal Me)

He better not fall for her, that's the one thing they drilled into us over and over again in college. NO RELATIONSHIPS WITH PATIENTS.

NO !!!

He is her therapist.

Huh.

Okay okay okay okay.

I really like both the lead actors, and it sounded a bit interesting until a loveline came up. Then, it just got wrong way wrong.

Whyyyyyyyy??!!

No normalizing inappropriate patient-doctor relationships! What writer in their right mind would think this is ok? Not the first drama like this either...won't watch.

Ugh 🤦🏼‍♀️
Way to help Korea warm to the idea of therapy NOT.

No, no, no, nooo. Chaebal.

ummm

That is wrong on so many levels that age is the least of it. I have a very good friend whose partner is 20 years older than her and she questioned me after a few thougthless remarks I tossed around carelessly. I had to explain to her that what made the particular situation I was talking of inappropriate wasn't the age difference but age + the related power dynamic - which is not relevant to their relationship.

A doctor and a patient is a plain no but a doctor and a MENTAL patient? Seriously, what the hell are they thinking?

This drama was not appealing to me anyways but now it's straight to "no way" list.

I'm getting comedy vibes but not neccesarily romcom vibes. He looks uncomfortable and is trying to pull his hand away.
But I didnt watch Neighborhood Lawyer, was that a romance?

Wow! So not inappropriate (sarcasm)

Like everyone is else in these comments: NO.
An (implied) relationship with your patient? Idk about Korea, but I'm pretty sure that breaks some sort of ethics code. That is EXACTLY what you're not supposed to do.

I know this is a drama, but I'm appalled this would even be a plotline.

OK, its not an appropriate relationship, but I am going to watch it anyway because its Jung So-min.

But let us not have a double standard here. Many people are enjoying HYENA, yet what the female lead does to and with the male lead in the first episode is vastly worse - It would be difficult to find something that more seriously violated professional conduct standards (and could even have been prosecuted). Nor is it true that somehow it was necessary- based upon what her client told her she could have used the normal processes of Discovery to get what she needed.

So why do we not simply accept that sometimes writers will break the rules in order to tell the story.

...but why????

NO, NO, NO, NO.
I don't care if this is just fiction.
You, by no means, can normalize a love relation between a therapist and the patient. NO WAY.
It's hard enough that people look for therapy when needed (because everyone keep saying: cheer up, it will get better, don't be sad, you should not listen to the voices in your head, grow up, etc) for a show to just seems to idealize this kind of relation. NO.
I don't know if you've watched the TV Show "In treatment" starring Gabriel Byrne, where he portrays a therapist that (thinks he) falls for a patient and (in theory) she feels the the same. This whole relation is treated as unhealthy and wrong, and in fact we see the terrible consequences it brings. It was really difficult to watch.
So no light I'm your savior or anything of the kind.
I don't even want to be near this show!!!

No. Just, no.

Based on above article - No thank you!!!!!!!!!

Are we watching the same trailer - he is pulling himself away from her in the last scene?

And, of course, they will use juiceful scene to promote the drama. Please do not jump into conclusion unnecessarily.

I think that the teaser might be misleading on purpose. I am inclined towards thinking that the ethical issue regarding this mental patient and the psychiatrist thing is generally known in most, if not all, communities in the world, so I kinda guess that they will play with romance but somehow makes it ethical from the medical perspective.

It's intriguing to see the reception from viewers, especially in SK.

The Kdrama world is funny. When I was thinking that a relationship between a doctor and his/her patient is bad, I realized that I really liked Heart to Heart.
