This drama was different. Everyone who watched this drama will admit it. At first I didn't want to watch this drama because the plot didn't seem interesting to me. However, then because of my love for Kwang Soo, I started to watch this drama.

This drama was kind of magical. When I watched this I never had the desire to watch the next episode as soon as possible. But then when I started to watch the episode and I was totally hooked. It was witty, entertaining, gripping and fast paced. Then the episode ended and I didn't have the desire to watch the next episode again. But when I watched it, it was so great again.

I know, that it sounds weird, but it's just how I feel about this drama.

STORY
The story was original and unique. We could say that nothing actually happened in this drama, but if you look closely, you'll see how great the storyline was. My favourite part was the beginning (I mean the first 5 episodes or so) and then the ending. I think that the ending of this drama was probably the best I've ever seen. It wasn't rushed, and it was just perfect!

Watch this drama just because of the ending! It's worth it!

ACTING
Every actor in this drama did an amazing job! The actors were outstanding! When the story seem a bit boring, you are still hooked because of the great acting.

It was 2nd drama I watched with Jo In Sung (1st - That Winter, The Wind Blows, I liked his hairstyle there more :D) and I have to say that I liked him in both dramas. Here, his acting was so natural, he did a great job. There were few scenes in the hospital which weren't that good but overall, his acting was great!

As for Gong Hyo Jin. It was my 2nd drama with her as well (1st - Thank You). I have to say this: "She is an actress with capital A." I think that her acting skills are amazing! In my opinion, she isn't really pretty, but she is attractive.

As for my lovely Kwang Soo. He didn't disappoint me, as usual. He did a great job, playing a person with Tourette. He's an actor with capital A, as well, in my opinion.

And at last, I would like to mention Sung Dong Il. I loved him in Reply 1997 and here I loved him even more. What and actor! I loved the scenes with him and Kwang Soo!!!

MUSIC
Music was perfect! Some of the songs in the OST are already on my list of most played songs. The whole soundtrack is a masterpiece. Love it! Love it! Love it! One of the best soundtracks I've ever heard!


There are a few reasons why not watching this drama. However, there are more reasons why to watch this drama. Great drama! One of the best dramas of 2014!

I watched this because of Gong Hyo Jin which I found her in Master's Sun and my interest in psychiatry, and decided to watch this drama. This is one of the most unique, interesting, heartwarming and yet realistic dramas I ever watched. I enjoyed every moment of it.

Story:
The story plot talks about reality and sensitive topics that most dramas usually avoid. This story is based on psychiatry and gives you a reality of how mental disorders can affect a person's life and people around them. It also is a slice of life drama which focuses on love life, forming relationships and even about sex life.

To make things short, this drama focuses on people who try to overcome their mental disorders while trying to understand love and building relationships.

Acting/Cast:
The characterization was amazing. They made you laugh or cry.Each character had different personalities that formed a love-hate relationship with each other, you could say that they're an interesting group of people who treat each other like family.

The main pairing's (Gong Hyo Jin x Jo In Sung) relationship started naturally and wasn't overly exaggerated or expressed. Jo In Sung's character was the most interesting to watch, I really recommend keeping an eye on him throughout this drama. Although I'm not a big fan of idol actors, D.O has chosen a really interesting role for his debut as acting and has done a really good job

Music:
From soft ballads to songs that have a happy vibe, their OSTs are amazing to the point where I downloaded all of them onto my phone. My personal favorites are The Best Luck - Chen, It's Okay That's Love - Davichi, I Love You - Yoon Mirae, And I Need You the Most - Hey, and Sleepless Night - Crush. It also contained some old classic songs

I was satisfied with the ending too, so I really do recommend this drama, I hope this reviewed helped~

It's Okay, That's Love was such a great drama! I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it! Hooked from the very first episode, I found myself loving every moment. The story was interesting, music was catchy as hell, cast was superb, and it was genuinely 'laugh out loud' funny, so why didn't I rate this drama higher??

I'm still questioning myself on that front tbh. I think it's because I found Ji Hae Soo annoying half the time. It's definitely because of her, because I have no other complaints about this drama. This is my second drama with Gong Hyo Jin, and I've come to the conclusion tht I just don't like her characters all tht much. I'm not saying Ji Hae Soo was horrible or anything, but her behavior was just unnecessary half the time, and I really didn't like her attitude tht much. Of course there were moments when she didn't annoy me, but for the most part, I didn't really care for her. Jang Jae Yeol on the other hand is my love. This is also my second drama with Jo In Sung, and is it possible for me to be more in love. He's amazing, I loved his character, and he portrayed him very well. The side characters were great too! Loved everyone!

This story is genuinely intriguing. First of all, I don't know if I'm a dummy for not realizing it, but there is a plot twist about halfway through the drama and it took me for a loop! Don't read spoilers for this drama, because it's soooo much better when ur watching and something ttly unexpected happens. So I can't really say much about the story without spoiling it. It's Okay That's Love's genre is obviously romance, but I can honestly tell u that I was more concerned with everything else tht was going on. Of course the romance was super sweet and cute tho, I really did like it, but not as much as everything else.

Also, this drama is sooooooo funny. Omg I found myself laughing more times than I could count, I constantly had to watch the parts tht made me laugh. The music is also something else. Everytime I hear it I'll definitely think of It's Okay That's Love.

This drama was such a fantastic watch, I'd def watch it again! I definitely recommend it! One of the better kdramas I've seen for sure!

Sidenote: I just remembered one of the main reasons Ji Hae Soo annoyed me so much. The reasoning/explanation behind her issue is so incredibly lame I just cannot. Anyways, don't let my minor complaints fool u, because this is a really good drama.

This drama handled an interesting and difficult subject matter with great results. I laughed and cried along with these lovable characters, and still listen to the music daily!

My Rating: 9.0

In Short: Gong Hyo Jin never disappoints me, and neither did anyone else involved in this drama. I really liked the unconventional way it handled mental disorders.

Pros: The cast was great, the music was fantastic and the drama was well written and did not have the classic "second leads". I did not miss them!

Cons: Hae Soo's anxiety disorder was a bit too "easily cured" in relation to how big a deal she made of it. It would have made no difference if she had just been a little prickly.

I didn't expect to like this drama so much but now, days after finishing it, I still feel that tug at my heart because of this drama. I've even distracted myself with an entire drama! It didn't work!

This drama is unbelievable, the acting is so so great. The actors were such great choices as they really performed what needed to be done to deliver the important messages and intensity that the drama has and need. The drama is so great for bringing light to these issues about mental illnesses and the stigma around it that sadly is reality. They show that it can happen to the best of us, and there's nothing wrong asking for help if you need it.

The drama is also great in the aspect that this couple actually talks to each other and work to solve the problems they stumble upon in their relationship. They show that talking to each other and solving the problem together really isn't that hard and it saves you from so many fights. They're happy for it.
It's very realistic in the sense of skinship as well, if they want to kiss, they do.

I absolutely adore this drama. Much love <3

It's okay, it's love, it's more than just a love story. Sure, it's not the tale of the greatest love ever, but the focus on mental health, and how to treat people that suffer from mental problems, are the main focus of this drama, that doesn't fail to capture the interest from the very first episode and keep it up till the end. The stories tangle up into this thrilling drama, that explores the issues of the mental illnesses. And the message that leaves us is loud and clear : people with mental illness have to be treated as equals. The background of each character is interesting and it's being explored throughout the series, till the last episode, which was more about the closure of the love story, than anything. But, still, the background stories are the ones that support this drama, along with the good performances. I may add that to the list of the issues that It's okay, it's love, handles the domestic violence, that is presented constantly. Now, for the love story, it's not that good, though the chemistry between the two characters isn't that bad. I think that it's just that they are not that comparable, the cold doctor and the play boy, though they do find common ground through their mental issues. Finally, the supporting stories are okay, but not that good. But the soundtrack was great, and it was just what the scene needed some times.

I doubted this drama at first. It wasn't my usual brooding revenge or sad love story. I put it in hold twice even though both leads are some of my favorite actors. Boy am I glad I have it a shot and saw it to the end! It was so worth it. They made the story short and sweet with 16 episodes. They did everything right.

Furthermore, it has a lot of sexual overtones and may not be ideal for younger viewers, however it's all tied in perfectly with the lives of 30 something's sharing their lives. The romance that develops is perfect, sweet, pure and true. You watch and feel like you're falling in love. The comedic tones of the characters are just right and always when it needs to be, which was great for someone like me who hasn't seen a drama who could master that yet. The seriousness in this drama is toned down with the power of LOVE. I suggest everyone give this a serious try.

As for the OST, I was a skeptic as you can see from my comments below, but even if you prefer traditional Korean music in your dramas like myself, they did this so all that at the end you end up singing half of the songs.

Over all, this drama gets a 10 from me all around!

Rewatch value is low for me only because I don't want to ruin my emotions and see it again, but I'm sure others might!

Its been a while since I wrote a review. I had to as I really loved this drama.
What a deep and beautiful Drama. It is deeply emotional, and hits right at your heart.
Gives you an understanding about the insecurities and stress people face, and how you overcome them.
The romance is very sweet and chemistry between the leads sharp and heartwarming.
Acting of all the cast is really good. Also the side stories are very cute.
More of a mature drama, with heartwarming moments, sad and happy, although you cant call it a romantic comedy.
It needs to be seen to be appreciated.
Dont miss it. Thumbs up.

First of all this drama is not what i expected. The romance is not a typical Kdrama love story. No lies, no strings... just real. At first i wasn't blown away from the romance but that changed drastically! This drama will make you smile, laugh and cry and that is what i am looking for in a good drama.

The acting was beautiful ! Kyungsoo acting is very promising.. he has a great facial expression. I was just blown away from Jo In Sung, Kong Hyo Jin and Sung Dong Il.....words cannot describe their perfection. Especially Jo In Sung. I just love his acting *___*

Let's all agree that the OST is just amazing! 10/10

Overall is this drama beautifully, touching n close to reality. The story shows us a picture about mental disorder and teaches us to see it in a different perspective. It's also good how everyone choose to understand someones weakness and faults, rather than to judge.

It is a memorable drama and i will miss it. <3
Thanks for the ride No Hee Kyung (screenwriter)! :)
