"It's Okay, That's Love", I knew it was a good kdrama, but I never thought it was this good! The vast majority of people loved this drama, and somehow is on their "must watch" list. I have to admit that it doesn't take too much for me to give a kdrama a solid 10/10, but this kdrama really deserves it.
At first glance, I admit that I thought this drama would be one of those cliché romances between housemates, but as episodes went by, I gradually became aware of how wrong I was. The story was very well written. They approached the subject of mental illness in such a realistic way that I was really impressed. I'll forever have on my mind one of the scenes towards the end in which Soo-Kwang explains to Jae-Yeol how mental illness works, to me it is undoubtedly the best scenes I've ever seen in a drama. Something in which this drama stands out is also that they value the supporting characters and do not forget them from one episode to another, something that is very common in kdramas.
The romance between Hae-Soo and Jae-Yeol is the most wonderful thing that ever happened in my life, though for a while I thought Jae-Yeol didn't really love Hae-Soo, maybe because of the speed with which they ended up becoming a couple. This drama is not about the path to love, but about all the bumps a couple has on their way to happiness. Our two protagnostits have a very complex past that make them the people they are now days, and throughout the drama this part of there lifes is explored in a brilliant way.
I can not forget to mention the supporting characters who also had a great role in making this story wonderful. Soo-Kwang was brilliant, I loved his romance with So-Nyeo, despite the age difference, I found it very cute. Dong-Min, a very important character because without him perhaps the drama had not taken the path it took. I also found his relationship with his co-worker Yeong-Ji very interesting. And in a way each character that appeared in the story contributed to make this drama wonderful.
Cast / Acting: The cast of this drama was brilliantly chosen. The chemistry between Gong Hyo Jin and Jo In Sung crossed the screen, they simply matched. I had never seen any work from either of the two main actors and I'm very curious to see more of their work, because they are very talented. All the supporting cast was also fantastic in their performances, and I have to make an honorable mention to Lee Kwang Soo for his brilliant performance in his character with a somehow very complicated disorder.
The OST is simply the best I've heard in a drama, though most of the songs are in English. "Cross My Mind" continues to play in my head right now as I write this review. The songs combined with the atmosphere of the drama and with the scenes themselves.
In terms of picture, it's a beautiful drama, no doubt, but in terms of technique doesn't stand out from any other drama.
Will I watch this drama again? Yes, no doubt. This drama is to watch and rewatch, to fall madly in love with each character again. It's definitely a must watch for any dramalover out there. I really regret not having watch this pearl before.
