I'm not sure why this has lower view rating but if you are not fond of HEART WARMING, SLICE OF LIFE, SLOW-PACE ROMANCE, I SUGGEST DO NOT EXPECT MUCH AND DO NOT WHINE ABOUT HOW IT DOES NOT MEET YOUR USUAL ROMCOM EXPECTATIONS.
(This is not a comedy after all)
As for me, I liked it through and through. It is an unexpected gem.

I thought of dropping it before I even finished watching the first episode..
..like many who tried watching this drama.But there were people who said really good things about it that it seemed like my type of drama.
And the cast was too good for me to drop the drama.
I decided that I was not in the mood and left it aside.
Some time later, I read a teeny tiny spoiler that sparked my interest
(It was the best spoiler ever. I even misunderstood it).
My curiosity got me through the first episode and that was it. (ok i wont lie, my curiosity got me through the first two episodes) After them I really wanted to see how the story would unfold.
The drama was very slow but the episodes flowed by very fast i didn’t feel them.
Han Seo Woo is a character that I wanna hug so tight.
And Jung Hae In, once again, wins as the best melodrama-romance actor with his honey-dripping like acting.
It was the best one-sided crush I’ve ever seen. I really dislike them usually.
The world flowed around them and it was very interesting . The classical music that flowed was a bonus.
I realise I used the word flow a lot. Because that’s how it was.
It shows us the story of characters going through some kind of pain. And uniquely portrays it.
I am so glad I read that tiny spoiler because everything made sense as I watched.
I wasn’t confused at all.
(The tiny spoiler was something like: 'she helps him find his first love'.)
The moral of the drama is beyond the confusing stuff. It is in the little details, in every interaction. That is where the 'healing' happens.

Un hermoso romanse incluso con pocas escenas de romanse
un drama lento y hermoso, que te relaja con su ost pero que te pone tenso en muchos momentos, empecemos.Ost: el ost es totalmente lo más hermoso de este drama, temas que te llegan al alma y que sin duda acabarán en tu playlist
escenarios : la cinematográfica en este drama es muy bueno, los planos que se muestran son muy hermosos un punto fuerte en este drama
actores : poco que decir de los protagonistas, no es el primer drama que veo de ellos su trabajo siempre es fenomenal
historia : una historia lenta, triste por momentos con un elenco que se desenvuelve muy bien dentro de la trama. una historia que no muestra el romance de los protagonistas en primer plano, si no como estos se enamoran debido a las circunstancias que los rodean es simplemente una fórmula muy hermosa de ver, sin nesecidad de un triángulo amoroso innecesario
Elenco y drama en general : en general todo el drama está muy buen equilibrado, tiene una comedia orgánica que te hace reír , momentos tristes y problemas entre todos los protagonistas y secundarios que hace que el drama no aburra y pese a su ritmo lento pase muy rápido
conclusión: si te gustan los dramas lentos, con hermoso ost y hermosas tomas este es el drama perfecto para ti.

Excessively sentimental & strongly emotional ❤️
If anyone ever mentions of melodrama, A Piece of Mind is it.I was in dire need of something that is excessively sentimental and strongly emotional and A Piece of Mind gave what I needed. It is beautifully written and executed. It is perfectly narrated and conveyed. The pace of the drama is enjoyable, it makes you stop and think, it does not aggravate, it just delivers the storyline, in a way that you would definitely fall in love with. At the beginning of the drama, you might feel that there is certain loopholes, but as the story unfolds, it will lure you to a dreamland. And you will feel something like ‘oouhh no wonder he said that. And no wonder she did that’
At first, I was sceptical with the plot that involves and AI tech, but this drama naturally meddle that to everyday life. It blends so well with the characters and nothing seems forced or illogical by sense.
It is sweet, slow, it takes its time and it is delicate. It serves my hopeless romantic ass real good ❤️
This has to be one of the most notable screenplay of Jung Hae In (who plays Moon Ha Won, the main role in this drama) the more I think about it, the more it appears to me that he really does a great job with his role. He makes you ponder and at the end of the drama, he makes you feel liberated, but peacefully.
If you are looking for a drama that would make you smile, cry and at some point, burst out of your happiness (cringiness hehe) then please watch this.
Melodramatic. Yeap it is :)

A Piece of Your Mind: A Gentle Symphony of Love, Loss, and AI
First things first, can we take a moment to appreciate Jung Hae-in? This guy is seriously becoming the king of soft, thoughtful male leads, and I am here for it! In this drama, he plays Moon Ha-won, a brilliant AI programmer with a heart of gold and a past full of unrequited love. Watching him navigate his emotions while trying to create an AI that understands human feelings? Pure poetry, I tell you!And then we have Chae Soo-bin as Han Seo-woo, a classical music recording engineer with her own share of emotional baggage. Her character is like a breath of fresh air – quirky, resilient, and so relatable. The way she slowly brings Ha-won out of his shell had me cheering from my couch!
Now, let's talk about the pace. If you're looking for high-octane drama and plot twists every five minutes, this might not be your cup of tea. But if you're in the mood for a slow-burn romance that feels like a warm hug on a cold day, buckle up! The show takes its time to develop the characters and their relationships, and trust me, it's worth every minute.
One thing that really stood out to me was how the drama weaves together themes of artificial intelligence, music, and human emotions. It's like a beautiful symphony where each element plays its part to create something truly magical. The way they use classical music to underscore emotional moments? Chef's kiss
But what really got me was the exploration of grief, healing, and the power of human connection. Without giving too much away, there's a storyline involving a character's lost love that had me reaching for the tissues. It's handled with such care and sensitivity that you can't help but be moved. And let me tell you, even if I watch it for the nth time, I'm gonna cry. Every. Single. Time. It's that powerful and touching!
The cinematography deserves a special shout-out too. Every frame looks like a piece of art, from the cozy interiors to the stunning Norwegian landscapes. I swear, I spent half the show googling flights to Norway!
Is it perfect? Well, no drama is. Sometimes the AI concepts can get a bit confusing, and if you're not into slow-paced, introspective shows, you might find yourself checking your watch. But for me, these are tiny blips in what is otherwise a beautiful, thoughtful exploration of love and healing.
So, if you're in the mood for a drama that'll make you think, feel, and maybe look at the world a little differently, give "A Piece of Your Mind" a shot. It's like a warm cup of tea for your soul – comforting, soothing, and leaves you feeling just a little bit better about the world.

Es la mejor historia hasta ahora. Diferente a lo que se ve siempre o de lo que he visto. No conocía a la actriz que hizo de Ji Soo pero ella también me atrapo. Es increíble como podíamos sentir sus emociones. Aunque me resulto corto es el mejor drama hasta ahora... Si tienen la oportunidad de verlo no se lo pierdan. En cuanto a Soo Bin mmm... su actuación me gusto pero no tanto como la de la actriz que hizo de Ji Soo.

This was a brilliant drama that gives its viewers a refreshing, slow paced healing session that goes through methods of grieving and caring for one another. No clichés with the love story. The lost first love is a wonderful human being who only wants to help those around her. Our two main leads, Ha Won and Seo Woo, are both struggling with loss and through the use of love and an AI box, they are allowed to work through it and all the struggles that follow. But I think the second set of leads are just as excellently done. Kang In Wook, the husband of Ji Soo, is also in terrible pain, not only after the events of the opening episodes (no spoilers) but his past that links with Ha Won. He can come off as our antagonist, at first, with his attitude and actions but he learns to open up and be free thanks to Soon Ho and his music. And if that wasn't deep enough, there is a very good side plot involving the smaller roles in a Boarding House that Seo Woo lives in. The story is very rich and well developed in all facets except maybe a few technical capabilities (but we’ll ignore those because it’s television). The use of classical music was both melancholy and soothing at the same time. Ditto the soundtrack as well.
The acting of course matches the drama story and writing; just incredible. Jung Hae In is perfect for this role and he knocks another drama out of the park with his terrific acting. An incredible smart young man who is polite but holding a tragic past and an unrequited love interest is a tough role to partake in. So many emotions need to be done in the minute ways. It’s a true nuanced performance that is complimented by a similar character played by Chae Soo Bin.
I would agree with the sentiments that this has a very dream-like feel to it. It’s hard to even say what I felt like watching this drama. I was hooked but I had this intangible feeling. It’s nice.

So much to love, but...
I'll start by saying that if you want a slow-paced drama, this is one that has a lot going for it. My overall impressions -OST - exquisite. The music is perfect, blending the beauty of classical piano with the sadness of a cello, and some beautiful songs that flow effortlessly throughout the show. The music was excellent at pulling emotion out when the script itself wasn't able to accomplish it.
Cinematography - I think this is the most beautifully filmed K-drama that I've seen. The camera filters that give so many scenes the filmy/artsy look. The play of light and shadow was brilliant. Some very good slow motion work, and I loved how most of the show was dressed up in pastels, nothing bright and jarring, save an occasional pop from a red sweater. Him walking through the woods near his childhood home was gorgeous, and the snow scenes were amazing. So, actually, I'd have to say that most of my love for this show vacillated between the OST and the cinematography. In my mind, while I was watching, I kept saying, "pretty!"
Costuming - nothing too attention-getting here, but I had to mention the trench coat that Jung Hae In wore in ep 11 with the leather collar and accents. It was just beautiful and it conveyed power and anger in the scene that he was doing at that time.
Acting - excellent. Jung Hae In as Ha Won was very understated and had wounds from his past, though I didn't really feel sorry for him because of the reasoning (to be discussed in storyline). Chae Soo Bin as Seo Woo - she is really lovely. She has those sad eyes but a perkiness about her that is so endearing. She ran a lot in this show, and it was so cute, her running down the alleyways from place to place. The rest of the cast was very good - I loved Lee Jung Eun as Min-Jung, the grieving mother.
Chemistry - the main couple was cute together, but no off the chart chemistry. This was a "comfortable" relationship (kind of like an old pair of shoes), they spent time together, supporting one another and learning more about one another, but I didn't feel any progression of their relationship. There was one kiss.
Storyline - Overall, this was a story of healing. Healing from loss, healing from loneliness, healing from aspirations unachieved, and healing from secrets coming out too late. Each person in the story dealt with their losses in a different way, and I really liked how the writers delved into ways of healing - opening up to friendships, being brave to put yourself out there to someone you like, turning loose of old hurts. I especially loved the scenes in the boarding house, where the boarders would sit on the floor in the kitchen and drink and talk and laugh. They were each getting something special from this bonding. Again, Lee Jung Eun was wonderful as a mom that feels guilt and despair and has closed herself off from emotional contacts. Watching her open up was a treat.
SPOILERS BELOW:
Writing - here's where my problem came in. First, I'm sure others have mentioned it, but the fact that this show was shortened from 16 to 12 episodes because of low ratings is telling. There was a subtle shift in the pacing of the last couple of episodes as they tried to tie up all loose ends. Ha Won and his 10-year unrequited love for someone that went and married someone else was just pathetic (and why did she, anyway?). A lot of the scenes between Ha won and Seo Woo didn't ring true, because he'd been in love with an ideal for a decade, and then after a few conversations with Seo Woo he's moved on? Plus, I felt that Seo Woo was kind of a doormat. I know she was supposed to be understanding of his dilemma, but really, anyone in real life would say "snap out of it!" And the AI aspect was not believable and just kind of creepy. The ending was very abrupt and unsatisfying.

Sobre la historia que se puede decir, es una historia muy bien llevada aunque al principio es un poco confusa en los siguiente capítulos todo es mas claro. No se si por que lo decidieron acabar antes, creo que le falto algo mas de desarrollo a cada uno los personajes. Para el lograr de todo entender el porque de sus acciones.
La fotografía como paleta de colores es sin duda lo mas destacable, no quiero decir que la actuación no o que la historia no lo sea. Pero sin duda es un placer visual los escenarios sobretodo los primero capítulos como los últimos.
Debo destacar que las actuaciones me lograron transmitir y aunque no llore por que no creo que hubiera sido la finalidad, sentí la angustia de las situaciones y llegaban momentos donde uno se conectaba emocionalmente con los personajes.

Like sunlight on closed eyes
I don't know where to start, apart form the fact that this drama is extremely underrated? Maybe it's just me, but it felt like a breath of fresh air. I got mad with the characters, frustrated, sad, happy, surprised, in love. This drama made me feel things.It's true that it's a slow series, but there are moments in life where that's exactly what you need. When you want to take a break from the 'Healer' or 'Descendants of the Sun' type dramas, and just take a rest. The palette was gorgeous, the story raw, without too many turns and frills. The feelings of falling in love, acceptance, moving on, they were all so present and God, so relatable. Not to mention the leads; Jung Haein is born for such roles, and Chae Soobin was just adorable.
Watch this drama when you're a little down and in need of softness and fluff, it'll make you smile, I'm sure.

Slow burn, more like no burn.
From my title, you might be thinking that the leads had no chemistry. And let me just quickly clarify that the leads had some of the best chemistry I've seen in a drama in a while. The gentle and sudden contact from a hand on her shoulder, or grabbing her sleeve to lead her through the dark, they showed this kind of tension throughout the show. But the thing with tension is it needs a good release to really make the tension worth while.Actually, this can be said about the whole show. So much tension for little release. The build up to what happened between KIW and KJS to make KJS so depressed was deep and kept me on my toes. I needed to know what had led them there but when I found out, I was kind of disappointed.
Also, I've said this about previous shows but I dislike when a show is trying to sell me a profound love story only to have no intimacy. Sure they had a little peck in a car finally in EP 10 but with the amount of build up that just wasn't enough. Like it doesn't have to be anything crazy but I am sure they could have replaced one of the hugs with something more.
The other thing that was disappointing to me is rude HSW was towards KIW after she found out about what happened. She kept saying how she's uncomfortable with talking about HIS WIFE because she had this high and mighty approach where she believed it was up to her to decide whether he was worthy. She had known her for a couple weeks before she passed and then talked to a device which isn't ACTUALLY her but had her personality. He was married to her for 9 years and like her for 10 years before that. And he was distraught over her death but still she just thinks she can play judge and condemn him for a childish mistake he made. This really irked me and is when the show plummeted from a 10/10 to an 8/10.
I do think the show captured emotion really well and what it is like to miss someone you love. This was done so beautifully that it makes it even more upsetting that the last few episodes went in the direction it did. I still would recommend this to someone but only if they were looking for something a little depressing and they had already watched my other recommendations.

Sin palabras
Una historia que te va a llegar al corazón, porque en el mío ya esta de por vida. Desde el primer capítulo tuve muchos sentimientos encontrados y gracias a la actuación del tremendo reparto, que con solo ver sus ojos, sus expresiones te hacen entender su historia, en mi caso no me hacía falta muchos momentos del pasado para empatizar con ellos, y eso es una fantasía total que tiene su mérito. Es tranquila la trama, pero en ningún momento se hace tediosa. Amo la manera en el que lleva ciertos temas y como no alargan mucho algunos sucesos. Enseña, entre otras cosas, las formas que hay de extrañar a alguien y de cómo poder olvidar a aquella persona que tanto habías querido y no creías que hubiera nadie más que ella. Sobrellevar la muerte de un ser querido. La dependencia que hay cuando te aferras tanto a alguien y cómo aprender que debes afrontar tus miedos por ti mismo, aunque no significa que no necesites un apoyo emocional. Muy recomendado para aquellos que aman los dramas con significado, con reflexiones, con unos ost increíbles, con un cinematografía preciosa, personajes reales, y que te van a hacer comprenderlos aunque no estés de acuerdo con sus acciones. Yo la viví al máximo, me sentí cercana a ellos y nunca creo que se me va a olvidar esta historia tan preciosa.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
