Premiere Watch: Dear Hyeri

Time slot: Monday-Tuesday
Broadcaster: ENA
Genre: Romance, melodrama, office
Episode count: 12
Global streamer: Viki

Reasons to watch: Shin Hye-sun is always a reason to watch, and her performance here playing a woman with two different identities is sure to be one for the books. Add in Lee Jin-wook and Kang Hoon and Jeon Bae-soo. Then add in PD Jung Ji-hyun of Lies Hidden in My Garden and Twenty Five Twenty One, and I’m thinking this has a lot of potential. Now, dramaland doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to portraying mental health, but that doesn’t mean that can’t change, right? Plus, the screenwriter of I’ll Find You on a Beautiful Day penned our scripts, so I’m hoping for something introspective and well-told.

TL;DR: Get ready for Shin Hye-sun to knock your socks off twice

I like Shin Hye-sun and Kang Hoon, and I'm even interested in the story. But honestly, I don't think I can do this.

Shin Hye-sun, always delivers in terms of performance, regardless of the quality of the drama itself.

Lee Jin-wook can't pick a decent script to save his life, which is a shame because he is talented.

Ill give this a probation period of 4 episodes

Judging by the trailer, the cliché-laden portrayal of mental health issues will continue.

I will watch the first two episodes, bc I like the leads, but honestly, this feels like a drop already.

I am looking forward to this as we are gradually seeing more high profile actors starring in films and dramas that have mental health portrayed front and centre; Kim Jiyoung born 1982, Dr Slump and Daily Dose of sunshine got some elements right. The more the subject matter is out there and people are talking about it hopefully that will raise the profile and we will see mental health mainstreamed without the love cures all or Dr/patient inappropriate relationships being portrayed as the best ways to approach to symptom management.
