I may be biased with this review but how can I not be? Everything was perfect.
I always have been a fan of Kim Soo Hyun ever since I saw how a good actor he is in "Moon Embracing the Sun". This was his first drama after he got out of enlistment and I can dare say that he picked the right one. Well, he first had a cameo at "Hotel Del Luna" but that is another story. He is a great actor, I knew that all along and this drama highlighted it more. Seo Ye Ji has always been good so imagine my excitement when I found out they were in a project together. Add Oh Jung Se to the mix and we have one of the greatest trios we will love in KDramaland.

On to the story: "It's okay not to be okay" depicts the ways of how people cope with their inner selves. The title even suggests that it's okay to not be strong all the time. That everyone is broken, the only difference would be how we show it to the world. Gang Tae and Moon Young had the perfect chemistry but for me Sang Tae stole the show. Sang Tae gave the show its heart. He was the trio's glue. Gang Tae always thought unconsciously that his brother was a burden but the thing is his brother can sense what he's feeling. It's ironic that a person who seems like the broken one in front of the world is actually the one who understands what the "normal people" are going through.

Don't let me start with the OST. The songs are all perfect and it had retention. That's one of the criteria when I watch a drama, the songs should always hold meaning and that it should stick with me. Stick meaning that whenever I would hear the particular song, I would immediately think of the drama fondly.

The fairy tales for children made for the drama, which was "penned" by Moon Young's character also was perfect. I really enjoyed watching this drama and this is easily one of my fave 2020 KDramas.
