First of all, I would like to say that this drama is bootifully written and I recommend those who haven't see it to go check it out. It will defenitely BLOWN YOUR MIND. (hey mr simple~)
This blog post is specially written for those who maybe haven't watch the drama and are curious about the story,or for those who still don't really understand after watching and wants a specific explanation and synopsis of the story. I may not be very good at explaining and using deep words,but I'll try my best to make it easy to understand.
Han Kangwoo,a fictional character of the story acted by Do Kyungsoo,plays quite a very important role in the main character,Jang Jae Yul's life. Jang Jae Yul is a famous author that writes brutal mystery stories rather than love stories and is also a radio DJ,but his family background is much more complicated than you can think of.Jang JaeYul who is suffering from Schizophrenia made up the character Kangwoo.He is a hallucination and doesn't really exist in reality. Schizophrenia patients cannot differentiate the reality and illusion,which make them think that their hallucination actually exists and is real. In the main character's case,it is quite worse because it has been three years since he has it and doesn't know about it until his girlfriend finds out.
Besides Schizophrenia,he also suffers from Lou Gehrig disease,which I think most of you know well because of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge,and also OCD (Obsessive Cleaning Disorder). Han Kangwoo is a picture of his past self,which he is not aware of. He used to have an abusive and aggressive step-father,and the stepfather would always abuse his mom and the two brothers' too. On the other side,Kangwoo is also the same condition,except that he doesn't have a brother (lol). The same characteristics to show that Kangwoo is just a hallucination is the blisters on their feet,and the fact that the incident happened when he was 16 years old,same age as Kangwoo is. Jae Yul used to always run away from his step-father bare footed which is the main cause of the bruises,same goes to Kangwoo too.
The first time Jae Yul started seeing Kangwoo is the time when Jae Yul's brother,Jang Jae Bum,stabbed him at the night club. Kangwoo claimed to be his number one fan.He wants to be a successful author too and always pleads the latter to read the stories he wrote although JaeYul dislikes it. But as time flies,JaeYul starts to like Kangwoo and always worry about him. To him,he thinks that Kangwoo only has him to support on and no one else,he has to protect him,he doesn't want anyone that suffered as he did to be treated like that again or did the same decision like he did. He didn't want his past to act all over again despite Kangwoo that resembles him a lot.
But what he didn't know is that his Schizophrenia is getting worse and harder to cure. The peak of this illness leads to suicide and that is very dangerous. They have their own problems and reasons why they do this,some are because of the trauma that they had before. As for JaeYul,the problem is his mother. His mother always get abused by his step-father and so he wants to protect his mom. But JaeYul is more of a quiet boy not like his elder brother,JaeBum.Sadly,he witnessed the truth that happened during his step-father's murder case,he saw his mother setting the house on fire through a mirror when his brother was carrying him. He wants his mother to live a happy life,to forget about the past and keep moving on and so he said a lie during the court case and assumed that it was his brother that killed the step-father. Although JaeBum told his mom to lie that he stabbed him,he didn't expect his brother to lie since he is the real culprit.But the real reason that the step-father died is due to suffocation but not the wound.The wound wasn't very deep at all. JaeBum didn't witness his mom setting the house on fire,which causes him to have the feeling of hatred towards JaeYul.He thinks that he betrayed him.
The sickness was dangerous to the point that JaeYul was admitted to the hospital. It happened because he saw an illusion of Kangwoo wanting to commit suicide because he had no other reason to live anymore.JaeYul was worried of it and went after Kangwoo.When they past by,Kangwoo was unfortunately hit by a lorry that passed by and JaeYul was involved in a car crash. But JaeYul still put Kangwoo before him and wanted to save him.The ambulance and paramedics came and admitted him to the hospital. The girlfriend,Ji Haesoo,who works as a psychiatrist wanted to help him. Haesoo was prohibited from seeing him but she still insists to,she ended up getting banned from patient treating for 2 months. He slowly got better and insists to get out from the hospital. He wanted to solve the problem himself although he still sees Kangwoo once in a while.
Ji Haesoo taught JaeYul how to differentiate illusion and delusion.He has to trust himself and Haesoo to sort out which is real or not.
"Focus,breath in,look at Kangwoo slowly from head to toe,can you see the delusion?"
In the end,JaeYul managed to get rid of Kangwoo (which I'm kinda sad of ;-;) and he cured his illness too.He lived a happy life and married Ji Haesoo (ship them so much).She was pregnant too~
