Estranho mas da melhor forma possível ❤️
Esse não é um drama que agrade todos, mas na minha opinião ele é um dos melhores dramas de todos os tempos. Este drama fala sobre cura e sobre descobrir quem você é, que são tópicos muito importantes. Os personagens principais são incríveis e muito bem construídos, as dinâmicas e relacionamentos são muito bem construídos e nos fazem pensar sobre nossa vida e como estamos estamos a vivendo.Cada personagem tem sua própria jornada especial com muitas reflexões que te fazem refletir. O enredo de Gang Tae era o meu favorito, ele teve que aprender que embora devesse cuidar de seu irmão, ele não poderia apenas viver para ele e teria que encontrar sua própria felicidade.
Claro que esse drama não foi absolutamente perfeito sem nenhum problema, MAS essa é a beleza dele, como o drama, as coisas não são perfeitas e tudo bem.
Ps: O romance também é incrível!

It's Okay to Not Be Okay (2020)
The show delivers a multi-angled story and executes it quite well. It does well in invoking many different emotions from its viewers; backed by very polished production and a strong cast of characters to support the story. Even though the show is focused on the character-driven development it still provides an adequate well-rounded story to keep you hooked episode after episode. The plot's turning points aren't a complete blindside but when complemented by the very alluring presentation, it gives just enough leeway to catch you off guard at times.The thematic styling works well although the Romeo & Juliet-esque, ill-fated lovers, will they or won't they back and forth shimmy between the main leads got a bit weary at times. Nevertheless, the show still manages to strongly deliver on both the bright and fun moments as well as the more emotionally heavy ones without compromising either or.
Those that make it to the finish line are rewarded with a developed journey of selflessness, healing, and acceptedness. And while the show does seem to romanticize mental health to some extent, the message is still loud and clear--- it's okay to not be okay.

Fairy tale about healing journey
"Psycho but it's okay" tackles issues such as mental health disorders. And it does it pretty well. In a world where mental disorders may look as "weird" "crazy" etc this drama does a great job at showing that it's okay! It's just an illness and that with the help of others and your own courage to heal you will be okay!To be honest except the stunning visuals i didn't like it that much at the start. Maybe because thee female lead was acting like the type of male leads i don't like. And i kept forgetting that she is ill too. The "forced" romance didn't come at me at first too. Later though I started to like them and see that they were meant for each other because both needed help, and both received it though each other.
It was a very healing story and i liked the small sub-character's stories too. The darkness that surrounded the characters and how they were fighting with that darkness. However I was expecting much more from the "big reveal" and the last episode. Maybe because it was building up really intensefully throughout the drama and after all that build up the revelation, the big secret wasn't as big and special as it may have seemed. Maybe it was just because my expectations soared too high in the sky. Same with the ending. But it was a quite satisfying and healing one. Plus i think it is not my place to judge the pain that all these characters had. Because each and every person's pain is big and it is not to be ever compared.
As i said, i think this is a character driven story. The interesting characters were really charming and enchanting. Starting with Moon Young and Kang Tae ending with the patients in the OK hospital.
A character that really had an impact on me was Sang Tae and his growth. Autism is an illness too and a really hard one to be portrayed in a drama, but the actor did an amazing job. Sang Tae's growth was really something I enjoyed a lot. He also said a lot of wise words! Even naive and innocent with a mind of 8 year old, sang tae could see through a lot and say things that grown-ups may have not noticed because of overthinking :) . I was also surprised at the actor Kim Joon Hwon who played the president of publishing company Lee Sang In. He was really different here so at first i didn't even notice that it's the same actor who played doctor Park Min Gook in Romantic Doctor 2. I also really like Kim Chang Wan who played director of the OK hospital Oh Jee Wang. He is a great singer and i love how they used his songs in here too. Also his character was very wise and i loved each word he said :) Of course there is also Kim Min Young who is as always the best mom :)
Music was very enchanting especially the opening theme and the opening scenes :) though i couldn't make much sense of the English lyrics xD
Of course Go Moon Young's wardrobe is something to look forward too.
The cinematography is stunning.
For me the highlight of this drama were the fairy tales, the drawings and animations. :) That is what i liked the most in this drama. :)
...."So don't forget it and overcome it. Only the ones who overcome have the right to be happy. If you don't, then you will become a child who can never grow up"....
What i liked:
Fairy tales, Cinematography, healing, side characters with their illnesses, Hospital director, the castle aesthetics, Sang tae.
What i didn't like:
mostly the problems were because i expected too much from this story :) It had such a strong start that my expectations flew into space lol :)
If you are hesitating to watch it or not i suggest to try it a little then decide :) It has a nice share of comedy and suspense so you might not be bored :) Plus the nice messages :) so it will definitely go to my list of dramas with good messages :)

I won't recover from this probably
I watched this because Netflix would not stop recommending it to me. And let me tell you, weeks later I am still thinking about this drama (and listening to the OST from it). The acting is superb, the story is entertaining, and the theme of the show really hits home. Also can we talk about the FL's outfits...iconic. I think what I really appreciated about this drama though was it's uniqueness. Yes, it's a romance. But beyond that it brings into discussion so many other topics surrounding mental health and the importance of family and it's done in a way that feels both interesting and almost a little edgy but also comforting. I realize that doesn't exactly make sense since it implies a contrast, but I think this show manages to do just that. As a viewer I was invested in all the characters (not just there for the main couple like I sometimes am). Also it's a surprisingly pretty show visually to watch, weaving animation into the storyline. However, this show is not like other dramas. It is deep and it does feel a little dark sometimes. It's one of those shows you watch and end up thinking about beyond "wow that was cute". It's kind of a masterpiece, but I think you need to be in the right mood to watch it and appreciate it.Would I rewatch? Probably
Would I recommend? Definitely

I do not know what I was expecting when I started this K-Drama, but it certainly wasn't the story and characters that I fell in love with. The characters and plot all continue and form together towards the end of the season, and I feel like it does a really nice job of jumping back and forth between past and present enough that it doesn't confuse you as to what's happening. -- Spoilers Under --
Gang-Tae and Sang-Tae were such a duo that I fell in love with and couldn't get enough of their story. I loved how much Gang-Tae took care of his brother and took the time to understand him and his trauma. The way Gang-tae also started slowly showing emotion and having fun around Ko was so refreshing and something he deserved. He was so patient and kind and made for a really great main character that added to the story. Reliable and always there, I loved how much he loved Ko and was willing to do anything for her. His story coming together and character development of actually loving his brother and wanting to be a caretaker tugged so much at my heart. He deserved every happy thing and to be happy so much.
Their relationship is nice and slow, but I love the way it is drawn out. It makes it so much more nice when they actually do kiss and get together. I loved the family dynamic and how they adopted Ko immediately. The family portrait made me tear up with how happy they looked. It didn't matter that she was cold and stand-offish they accepted her and brought her in. Her and Sang-Tae's friendship was so refreshing and added such a nice comedic relief to the show. Together they were so funny and always had me laughing with how similar they would act. They bickered just like brother and sister, perfectly meant to be. I loved the way that she believed in his art and work so much and eventually published and used his work. She even helped him overcome how to draw facial expressions.
Them knowing each other as kids was such a cliché, but so cute when paired with the story. Their mom being murdered, her mom disappearing after being attacked by her dad, them liking each other as kids, her saving Gang-Tae as a child. It all adds up so much and adds such a layer to everything that happens during the season. The impact of finding out that it was HER mom that murdered their mom was jaw-dropping. Even learning that she was the one who saved Gang-Tae out in the frozen lake. It was such great writing.
Her character is so insane and crazy and I fell in love with her in an instant. Her backstory with her mom and dad was so interesting and the way the mystery played out, I was not even expecting. I would've never guessed the turns that the mystery took. The way she was raised and the way her parents were was so interesting and creepy. It helped show how isolated and actually lonely Ko was and how much she wanted relationships and love. When she wants them to move out at the end and they refuse had me crying. She asks, "Why is everyone so nice to me?" and it really showed how much her mom made her feel completely unloved. The family she has now and how warm and happy she becomes throughout is beautiful.
I did wish she took more time with her dad when he was in the hospital, but I totally understood where she came from with his dementia and him choking her almost to death. He saw too much of her mom in her, and didn't take the time to learn that she wasn't anything like that. She had a warm and loving side that her mom could never have. Her mom still being alive and being the character that she was, was such a shock to me. I was not expecting it and would never have guessed. When they started talking about the reason Sang-Tae was so scared of butterflies I was on the edge of my seat.
The background characters all were so great and added so much to the story, especially in the ways that they were helped and actually got discharged and better. I loved that when they published the book, the characters they helped were in it as well. They each were brought in and each were an integral part of the storyline. It was such a nice story of friendship, love and shined such a great spotlight on mental illness without being dramatic and fake.
I could re-watch this drama many times. It was so amazing and had me crying not wanting it to end. Forever needing more of the trio. I loved every minute of it.

Very worth drama to watch, I wouldn't only recommend for people who's starting with k-dramas, but this is absolutely amazing, is it because of Seo Ye-ji? Probably yes, but both male and female leads are interesting. Old drama veterans shouls set It's Ok to not be Ok to their top drama lists. If you think, this is traditional romcom, or only romance - you're wrong. As male, I wouldn't want to meet woman like her, but female lead's character is really unique. I think 9/10 is definitely worth to watch, or rewatch. Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

I'm a vegetarian and I'm fully against animal violence, but,...SOMEBODY PLEASE GET RID OF THAT DEER
(just take him to a national reservation or sth)
otherwise the drama was great, loved it
it seems this has to have at least 500 characters, so let's do it...
I really liked the story, it was original and the creators were not afraid to deal with some topics, that are quite controversial. It was fun but also realistic, the drama really showed that 'it's okay to not be okay', and that's what I really appreciated. Both Seo Yea-ji and Kim Soo-hyun were PERFECT, no complaints at all. The others were great too, but these two, especially Yea-ji were just born for their roles. Oh Jung-se was irreplaceable too. Jang Young-nam was a big surprise, didn't expect it at all.
I don't have much more to say, only because it was so good that I don't know how to describe it. Maybe just one tiny complaint: I've seen Moon Gang-tae cry way too many times, they made him suffer too much, it breaks my heart. Apart from those parts, I could watch it over and over again.
I had only one problem with this drama: THAT DAMN DEER (and Moon Gang-tae crying)

Absolutely loved this series, however, with one issue
First off, I have never written a review on this website before, however, I felt the need to with this one. I will not do a traditional break down of what I thought about the individual parts of the show including cast, music, story, etc... Although I did love the music especially in this drama, and my being a fan of KSY did make this story more enjoyable. However, I will say that it takes more than just the actors to make me watch to the end, and I finished this drama in a solid 2-3 days. Back to the point, if you clicked on this review to see my one issue this would be it:I was kind of disappointed with the way they dispatched the main antagonist. There was an incredible build up to the revelation of who the main villain of the story actually was. You were always told about her, but you didn't get a face until a ways into the show itself. That being said, the payoff was underwhelming. Moon Young's mother was made out to be this cruel and manipulative villain that would stop at nothing to get what she wants. She always gets her way and has even escaped death to do so, but in her first main physical altercation with the protagonists, she gets arrested. This person who could barely be described as human due to her lack of emotion or understanding of love and warmth was dealt with an episode or two after she was revealed. I simply can't forget how quickly I got over the impact of her character. It felt like she was always a presence throughout the show, this creepy shadow over your shoulder, but then she just disappeared. I don't mean that her creepiness vanished when her real face was revealed, but it vanished when I realized that she simply wasn't as strong and manipulative as I thought she was because she made a mistake the first time she tried to do something after she revealed herself.
I know this is a drawn on review, but I felt the need to share my opinion. In all honesty, it was just a disappointing moment in an otherwise incredible series. I quickly got over it once the story started focusing on a difference aspect, but that also sort of saddens me. The last few scenes with her character had little impact on me because of how rushed it felt. I do still, however, recommend this show if it is the type of stuff you're comfortable with. It isn't for everyone, but I definitely enjoyed and many other people did as well.

The side couple was not really good, loved the main couple more and would've liked if they spent more wholesome and light hearted moments.
OST is good and compliments the story well.
Amazing use of Visual FX, really brought life to the fairy-tales.
All in all, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The only reason I kept watching was purely to see Seo Ye-ji in all her beauty
The show makes no sense. Plus really cannot stand shows where the brother sacrifices love and family for a disabled brother. That kind of story always bugs me to no end because it's so unrealistic.Plus what kind of human being could resist Seo Ye-ji? But alas, after living life and seeing the world, the monster is indeed crazy mental women. No matter how beautiful they are, if they have mental issues, they will always cause your downfall. Gorgeous women with mental issues are like the Titanic. It's not worth the ride. Avoid!
But back to the show. Seo Ye-ji is absolutely gorgeous in every single scene she's in. I thought the cast was okay but the story was horrible. So bad... I stopped at episode 7 and skipped to the last 2 episodes. And I am sure glad I did because the ending was just ridiculous as I expected.
Love Seo Ye-ji and the male lead. But the story just sucks. Sorry.
