PLOT :
Jang Jae-yeol is a writer of bestselling mystery novels and a radio DJ. Playful and a bit arrogant, he also suffers from obsessive–compulsive disorder. Ji Hae-soo is a psychiatrist on her first year of fellowship. Driven and ambitious with her career yet compassionate towards her patients, Hae-soo has a negative attitude towards love and relationships in her personal life. Once Jae-yeol and Hae-soo meet, there is much contention between them caused by their strong personalities and refusal to give in to each other. But slowly their bickering turns into love and they begin to learn how compatible they are. Jae-yeol and Hae-soo attempt to heal each other's deep-seated wounds, but their fledgling relationship takes a blow when they learn that Jae-yeol's mental health issues are more serious than they initially suspected

MAIN CHARACTER :
Jo In-sung as Jang Jae-yeol
A bestselling mystery fiction novelist and radio DJ. Because of his troubled past and obsessive–compulsive disorder, Jae-yeol can only sleep in his own bathtub. From his first meeting with psychiatrist Ji Hae-soo on a talk show, they have had a combative relationship. When noise from ongoing construction beside his house interrupts his writing, and he learns that Hae-soo is currently a tenant living in a building he owns in Hongdae, Jae-yeol temporarily moves in with her and her housemates because of his fascination with her. As the two fall in love, they must later come to grips with Jae-yeol's undiagnosed schizophrenia
Gong Hyo-jin as Ji Hae-soo
A first-year fellow in the psychiatry department at a university hospital. A smart and compassionate doctor but not very affectionate, Hae-soo self-diagnoses herself as having insecurity/anxiety issues, a fear of commitment and sex phobia.
Sung Dong-il as Jo Dong-min
Hae-soo's senior colleague at the hospital, who also happens to be her first love. His wife and children are based in the United States, and he has an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and colleague, Young-jin. After he becomes the court-appointed psychiatrist to a convict, Jang Jae-beom, whom he later finds out is Jae-yeol's brother, Dong-min sets out to find the truth behind the crime.
Lee Kwang-soo as Park Soo-kwang
A cafe waiter with Tourette syndrome. Soo-kwang and Dong-min are Hae-soo's housemates, and Dong-min in particular is a good friend to Soo-kwang, often calming him down during his panic attacks. Soo-kwang is unlucky in love and keeps getting dumped by girls, but the one he can't quite get over is So-nyeo, who is not only a minor but who openly has several boyfriends at the same time.
Do Kyung-soo (D.O.) as Han Kang-woo
A high school student who's a big fan of Jae-yeol's and keeps bugging his idol to read the manuscripts he's writing, since Kang-woo aspires to become a famous author like him someday. He and his mother are frequently beaten by his alcoholic father. Kang-woo is later revealed to be Jae-yeol's younger self, a manifestation of his schizophrenic break due to trauma and guilt. Jae-yeol has been seeing Kang-woo for the past three years, ever since Jae-beom stabbed him
