Shin Ha-Kyun, a seasoned actor who starred more in movies than dramas, was able to portray Lee Shi-Joon's character well. The lines of anxiety and a sense of responsibility for the recovery of his patients are very visible on actor Shin's face. Lee Shi-Joon's character will later become Han Woo-Joo's doctor.
Fix You is not just about the daily interactions between patients and doctors. Fix You features several methods of emotional control as well as unusual trauma healing methods, such as; cursed in a plastic bag to relieve anger, took a deep breath and counted up to six fingers before the emotion exploded, and the most unique and touching was Han Woo-Joo's involvement in helping heal other trauma patients with theatrical methods. Fix You also emphasized the importance of honesty towards one's mental condition, and not to be afraid to consult experts. In this case, psychologist or psychiatrist.
