    Always curious to read a contrary opinion to what seems to be popular.

      Hiya. Sorry for the late reply. I don’t quite know how to explain it without seeming like I am rambling, but I don’t quite understand this show.

      The hyung is a man with some level of developmental/learning disabilities, and his brother works as a psychiatric nursing assistant. Part of getting the hyung to live as independent a life as he can is giving him the tools to navigate the world – like figuring out his triggers and teaching him to avoid them/ devising ways to avoid them. We *know* hyung does not always act in a manner that’s socially appropriate, especially when he’s excited/has sensory overload. So a standard strategy for that would be having someone *with* him in those scenario (not standing somewhere afar off) – either to defuse/deescalare a situation that comes up/ to remind him to keep excitement in check. What’s his name works in psychiatry so by now, I expect him to KNOW this. So WHYYYYYYY would you take your brother out into a triggering scenario and then sit afar off? If the friend had done that fine, but I don’t expect a psychiatry nurse assistant to do this. It’s things like that which throw me off. It doesn’t make any sense. (It moves the plot along sure, but it’s not organic that way. 🤷🏾‍♀️)

        Sorry for the late reply.
        You know, this a fair critique.
        It didn’t bother me so much at the time I think because she just escalated the situation even farther thus drawing my attention away from it lol, and I guess I saw it showing that it was mistake anyway, that GT left him? but *shrugs*
        I don’t know enough about the subject matter to try and argue it though haha.
