It’s Okay to Not Be Okay (2020)

Is it really okay not to be okay?

From the beginning to the very end, I had the above question in my mind because there was not a story at all. There were some stories that I started but I did not finish watching I really have a regret now because I did not do that to this one. When we think about the title of the drama it really looks like it is regarding the mental disabilities and mental disabled people but even in the promotional poster, I really can't find the story and the title in it. Actually, it is an exception from the story. I really wanted to give a positive comment but according to my conscience I cannot lie. And also, I cannot find the basement of the story anywhere. Antisocial writer may be a good person to start a story with, but I can't see a success when making a story around her. The producers trying their best to give some horror and thrill sometimes, but I could not feel any of that. And also, actors and actresses have tried their best to perform the story and give the lives to the characters who were in the story. but I cannot say that is excellent because there were a lot of time that they were unable to add some color to the story and the story was too dark. There were scenes that the writer included in the story as thriller scenes but when we are watching the drama, they were useless, and they could not add any color to the whole drama, and they were out of the story line. When we take main and old incident which the whole story has based on that was really not strong enough to build a story. Actually, there was not any need for the story, but they really added something like artificial sweetener to make a story, but I really don't see the actual need or value of the story. I must say that this is only for sweet lovers who can't tolerate something other than romance and comedy. I really put a lot of effort to finish watching the story and I excepted something astonishing that whole time from beginning to the very end, but I did not see something like that. Therefore, I have a final question "Do you really think this kind of story make as a drama; is it really okay even though it is not okay?"

I tried y'all, I really did.

A running gag in my Korean class is how I am an avid reader of romance novels, but I am pretty much averse to Romantic K-Dramas. Crash Landing On You so far is the first and only one that I have loved. I would count Mystic Pop-Up but that's more of a Fantasy Family drama. I'll try to be brief, but this was a new record for me, I got 2.5 episodes in before I permanently clocked out for 3 reasons.

1. Ko Moon Young tap danced on every last nerve I had.

Pretty much every romantic K-drama I have bailed on has MLs who behaved similarly or worse. This trope of love interests being cruel until they fall in love/sleep with a virgin (looking at you After/Kissing Booth) is TIRED. No, you don't need love you to save you, you need to leave us the hell alone so we can find something healthy and won't run up our blood pressure up. Plus, I know they tried to work in the aspect of KMY having severe mental health issues as the reason, but that doesn't seem good enough an explanation considering the harm done. At no point in the episodes I watched did I think, "Hmm, she seems really seems ready and deserving of love.

2. Most interesting storyline wasn't the main one.

I was more into the Moon Brothers' story because it seemed more realistic in it's depictions of being a caretaker to an intellectually disabled sibling, autism (for Korean standards) and the fine line between support and codependency. Would have loved to watch it unfold, but Miss Author got in the way.

3. Kim Soo Hyun's sexiness couldn't save me.

Okay, it was at this point that I was SHOOK. Kim Soo Hyun could literally read me obituaries and I'd think it was the sexiest thing ever done. I sat through ALL TWO HOURS of REAL yet, couldn't make it through 2.5 episodes of this show. Seeing him in this show? It just didn't connect for me like it usually does.

WHY LITTERALY EVERY PERSON NEEDS TO WATCH THIS PIECE OF ART!

A HUMAN HEALING DRAMA INDEED!
This is my all-time favourite korean drama. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants an emotional, incredible, entertaining and fascinating drama. I Loved all of the actors, Their acting Is Amazing. You can cry and laugh at the same time while watching this. It has everything, a perfect drama needs. Love the cinematogrpahy, the acting, the symbolism/ subtle nuances in the way certain scenes are portrayed...it's just a really beautiful drama. It tackles mental health in a really jarring but unique way. It's witty but I can tell it'll be a healing type of drama. The characters are complex and well written and equally well portrayed. Chemistry is on fireeee and of course Seo Ye Ji's outfits 💯 btw, osts are amazing.
litteraly dying while waiting for next episodes. EVERYONE!!!! Definitely check thiss masterpiece out!!!!!!!

I've just watched the two episodes that were aired last week. It's a slow show with an action that doesn't exist. The only thing that I liked about it was the main male actor and the music. The main characters didn't have any chemistry at all. After I've watched the episodes, I decided to give up on this drama . I gave a star, with indulgence, for the first two episodes. I was really dissapointed by the action and plain characters and story. Over all it was a show which didn't really catch my eye, and compared to other dramas that I've seen, this one was not the best.

Not for everybody

Well, I guess I'm the odd one out of the bunch when I say I agree it's not for everybody.

The first episode didn't grab me at all. It just seemed like people just watched this drama because of how the characters looked.
I learned real quick that it might have that Disney 'love at first sight' feel and it did but the female character was just twisted because of psychological issues she had with her own father.

I learned enough from the first episode that this isn't my cup of tea.

I also have to stop falling for reviews like this. The minute I see people talk about how good a person looks I just need to steer clear of that. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for eye candy but come on, it doesn't give a good enough reason to watch.

too weird for my taste

I totally understand the ambition of the director, who tried hard to combine a soap opera with a psychological drama... But one has got to know their limits.
So, we have this good-looking FL in stilettos and a miniskirt, who is also a famous childrens' story writer - because average ppl dont make an impact, right? - but she is also a monster for loving blood and suffering. Of course, she is just a traumatic soul, after being hurt by her own family as a child. And here comes the ML in shining armour, who always believes in good and does good, while looking after a retarded brother.
I could put up with the story till now, but the director tried hard to feed us another as glorious as idiotic trope - the "i-met-the-fated-one-in-kindergarten/ primary school-and- we-will-be-together-forever" one. Like, how many of us REALLY married someone they "dated" in kindergarten? Did our life stop there and we were unable to meet someone as adults?? I totally DONT UNDERSTAND why scriptwriters favour this kind of stories... Seriously, you cant move on from age 5 or 6?
Dropping at 1st episode.
