Healing drama that's done right

Ahh this is my first review, but I felt like I had to write one to tell others about how incredible of a drama It's Okay To Not Be Okay is ;)
---STORY---
The plot itself is a breakthrough for kdramas and Korea. I feel like Korea being the country that it is has this huge stigma against mental health. It's at the point where treatment for mental health is frowned upon and discouraged. IOTNBO tackles this issue as its priority. Ko Moon Young and Moon Gang Tae both suffer from trauma that they experienced as kids. As they brace onto each other, they grow together, healing each other out of their wounds. I won't say more about the plot except for the fact that it's touching and relatable.

I also want to touch on the picture books. I thought that it was very interesting how they incorporated these picture books into the lives of the characters. I don't think that I've seen another kdrama with an element like this. I also really enjoyed to art within the picture books. They were so beautiful that they actually got published :)

---ACTING/CAST---
This was Kim Soo Hyun's first project after being discharged from the military. All I'm gonna say is that he both picked a great project and delivered it with perfection. The way he acts, you can feel every emotion. I've seen Seo Yeji in Lawless Lawyer and I thought that she did a great job with that badass character. In IOTNBO, she once again portrays a character that is far from your typical cute, helpless female lead. The charisma she exudes-- she was literally made to play KMY. Lastly, we have Oh Jung Se for his portrayal of Moon Sang Tae. His acting was very realistic and touching to watch. Prior to IOTNBO, I had not heard of Oh Jung Se. Luckily, I now know of his abilities as an actor and I will definitely be checking out his other projects! The supporting actors also did great with their roles.

---MUSIC---
The music fit so well with the vibe of the drama. Not only does it fit with the drama, the songs themselves are high quality songs that are easily playlist worthy. I also wanted to add that I got so excited when Wake Up played as it was a sign that KMY was about to pull something crazy XD

---REWATCH---
This is definitely a drama that I would rewatch when I'm bored or in need for something healing.

---FINAL THOUGHTS---
This drama had a lot of hype surrounding it. I won't lie, I was a bit hesitant to starting it as we all know that there have been several dramas that are very overhyped. However, with that said, I was blown away by IOTNBO. The way the drama handles the heavy topics so well really amazed me. This is hands-down one of the best kdramas that I've watched.

If you're debating whether or not you're going to pick this up, just start it! I'm well aware that IOTNBO is not everyone's taste, but if you're in need for any drama to watch-- especially a healing drama-- try IOTNBO. You most likely won't regret it!
