The first encounter between Moon Young and Kang Tae was not good. Ko Moon Young comes to his hospital to read the children’s book. And she is his brother’s favorite author. One patient runs away from the hospital and he tries to attack Moon Young, which makes her angry, and in response she also attacks him, but Kang Tae came in the middle and his hand was cut.

Ko Moon Young’s Fashion:

Seo Ye Ji is one of my favorite actresses and I really admire her fashion in her all drama with her acting skills. Ko Moon Young’s fashion in this drama is on another level from the beginning to the end of the drama. Whatever she wears even a simple dress, she kills it with her look.

Insecurities:

For Sang Tae, his only family is Kang Tae and he doesn’t want to share his younger brother with anyone. When Kang Tae and Moon Young come closer, Sang Tae’s insecurities increase. He wants that Kang Tae should only focus on him, but after Moon Young came into the bother’s life, everything was changing and Sang Tae don’t want that.

Child Actors:

Let me admire young Moon Young and Kang Tae also. They did a fab job and justify the character. My personal favorite scene of there is when Moon Young saved Kang Tae from drowning.

Family Is Beyond Blood Relations:

Sang Tae doesn’t want any outsider in his family but when Kang Tae explains to him that now it’s time to extend their family then slowly he changes his decision. These Korean drama characters have created their own families through loving and accepting one another.

Chemistry:

Seo Ye Ji and Kim Soo Hyun’s chemistry in It’s Okay To Not Be Okay is amazing whether it is on-screen or off-screen. They have such a good connection, and you can feel it through the screen. Whether they fight, love, or make jealous of each other, you will see their chemistry in everything.

Stubborn Moon Young:

I really like Moon Young’s character because of her boldness and stubborn nature. Whenever she likes something even a small thing and she wants that, then she gets that. She does not care whether she asks or steals that thing.

Trio:

Sang Tae, Kang Tae, and Moon Young are the best trio in Korean drama history especially the bond between Sang Tae and Moon Young they both are very funny. I love the part when they both are fighting for Mang Tae (doll) and Kang Tae. They love and care for each other.

Revealing The Evil:

For sure, you will be surprised when you will see the evil or Moon Young’s mother shows her face. You are not expecting that she will be her mom and don’t worry, I’m not going to tell you this because if I tell you that then there will be no interest in watching then. If you want to know who is the villain of the drama then watch this K-drama.

2020 is not completed yet, but I must say that It’s Okay To Not Be Okay is the best K-drama of 2020. The main focus of It’s Okay To Not Be Okay is largely on the personal journey of Moon Kang Tae and Ko Moon Young. And one more thing that this Korean drama focuses on is the mental health of the person. I have seen Seo Yi Je in Save me Korean drama where her character was opposite from the It’s Okay To Not Be Okay drama character. That’s the reason why I like her acting, she is a versatile actress.

It’s Okay To Not Be Okay drama is beyond amazing I love watching this K-drama and I was desperately waiting for the weekend. This is the first time where you will see the lead female character like Moon Young in the Korean drama. Her character is refreshing and surely you will enjoy watching this K-drama. I love Sang Tae’s (Oh Jung Tae) Character, and his acting is beyond amazing. I love every word he said in the drama and his love for Kang Tae and Moon Young is incredible. When Moon Young cuts her hair short then from time to time he annoys her that is why she cut her hair because he loves her long hair.

After serving the compulsory military It’s Okay To Not Be Okay is Kim Soo Hyun’s first drama, but he made his cameo appearance in Hotel Del Luna and Crash Landing On You drama. I highly recommend It’s Okay To Not Be Okay drama to all the people who are looking for a well-scripted drama and the chemistry of the leads is amazing. All actor have played their roles perfectly.
