It's Okay to Not Be Okay


Episodes: 16
Synopsis: 
Moon Gang Tae is a psychiatric ward caretaker and lives with his older brother Moon Sang-tae who has autism. While working at the hospital, he meets his brother's favorite children's book writer, Ko Moon Young who is rumored to have an antisocial personality disorder. As the two bond with one another, they discover secrets of their traumatic paths and struggle as they realize their fates are more intertwined than they originally thought.  

Review: 
I really enjoyed this drama despite Ko Moon Young's prickly personality and Moon Gang Tae's slow-to-warm attitude. I think the star of the show is definitely Moon Sang Tae (the actor portrayed his character so well, showed character development, and fun fact: he also connected with a fan who saw himself in Sang Tae's character.) 

This drama touches on mental health but definitely still fits in the mold of what makes a kdrama work. There is romance, comedy, and even dark elements to this drama. It felt like a thriller at some points and a romantic comedy at others. While it touches on elements that are relatable, mental health stigma and reconciling with past traumas, this isn't the most believable drama (I mean...makes sense, it's still a drama lol) 

I would recommend this drama to people though. 
The chemistry between characters was great and the varying storylines and plot twists were very entertaining and kept me on my toes. I flew through the episodes.
