I wonder if Seo Ye Ji’s character has Schizophrenia. Or are those her dreams? Hallucinations? I’m getting more and more curious about this drama.

    It’s called a fantasy romcom but the teasers are dark. And she’s a childrens storybook author but her books are scary and dark ala the source material for the Disney fairytale movies. Hmmm

      Ohhh. Grimm’s fairy tales.

      Anyways, exactly my point. I am intrigued with SYJ’s character in which she purposely acts as a witch to little children while supposedly reading a story book. Lol. I hope they handle the psychological aspect of the show well.

        The concept reminds me so much of It’s Ok, That’s Love.. Hopefully we’d get to see more differences than the gender swap when the actual show starts. 😅

    I think she’s supposed to have a personality disorder, which would explain anti-social/rude/uncaring tendencies.

    I am intrigued by the dark fairy tale concept of this drama.

      Yes but Antisocial Personality Disorder won’t explain the attempted strangulation or the dark figure behind her caressing her hair or something. Maybe if she has the schizotypal personality disorder…
      It remains to be seen whether those are hallucinations or just fragments of her memories of past traumatic experience.

        I kind of assumed she had a borderline personality disorder from the previews, because that is more about emotional instability and can include delusions and feelings of emotional emptiness, which could explain her love of dark fairy tales. Schizotypal seemed too extreme for what we’ve seen so far (which, admittedly isn’t much).

        I assumed those scenes we saw were more an imagining of her dark fairy tales with herself inserted into the story/possibly a heightened imaging of whatever triggered her disorder. Many old fairy tales are dark and include creepy deaths etc. and I thought they were drawing from that old tradition or possibly even a Gothic reading of those tales. Granted, we know nothing yet, so I look forward to whatever the story comes up with, so long as they treat the mental health aspect with respect.

    It been interesting if her stories somehow play into the events. For instance, we could have some fantasy sequences blending with reality. Also, I’m wondering if her stories are informed by her own past.

      I think so too. There’s subtle hints here and there that she too has skeletons in her closet
