It's okay not to be okay is about Moon Gang-tae, a caregiver who’s spent his whole life looking after his autistic brother, Moon Sang-tae, who’s been through a lot of trauma because of their mom's death. Things take a turn when they meet Ko Mun-young, a famous children’s book author with a tough personality and a troubled past.
As the three of them get closer, they start to face their fears and work through their pain together. Along the way, they become like a family, showing that it’s okay to not have everything figured out.
My opinion:
Okay so I already gave this K-drama a try once, but I couldn't get trough the part where Mun-young was at a restaurant and scaring the little kid. I thought it was very slow so I stopped after a few minutes of watching. But I gave it another try and WOW. This K-Drama is so good. I'm very skeptical about romance dramas, because they aren't realistic most of the time. But in this drama it was different. Gang-tae fell in love with her over time and not just after 2 episodes or after 1 specific moment they had together. It went so smoothly.
This K-drama fr played with my feelings though. I loved the acting and especially the acting of Sang-tae. They chose the perfect person to play him. He made me cry so bad, but he was still my favorite in the drama. I'm not gonna lie tho, I really didn't like Mun-young at the beginning. Like at all. She really got on my nerves, until they moved in with her. She went from a black cat to a golden retriever. They all had a character development in this drama and I love it.
Now let's talk about the ''second leads''. They really added a good vibe to the drama, especially Jae-soo, Gang-tae's best friend. I do think that Gang-tae should've appreciated Jae-soo more, since he left everything behind and followed them everywhere. The scenes with Sang-in and Seung-jae added a funny vibe to the drama.
Do I recommend this drama?
Yes. It's a good mix of comedy, romance and trauma. The episodes are a bit longer than usual K-Dramas, but it's worth it!
Available on: Netflix, 16 episodes
