It's Okay to not be Okay (사이코지만 괜찮아) is a story I won't forget. It feels like in some ways it will stay with me forever. I can't really say why as I don't want to spoil anything for it would be a shame to ruin the experience for others. Suffice to say there were many parts of the story I could relate to and I felt like I was able to change and grow with the characters, even if only a little.

I was a big fan of the cast and it was the reason I started this. Kim Soo-Hyun and Oh Jung-Se have both been great in other shows, and that's just the start. Park Gyu-Young, Kim Chang-Wan, Kim Mi-Kyung, Jang Young-Nam, and Kwak Dong-Yeon are all excellent too. I haven't seen Seo Yea-Ji before but now I know why she's so popular and she became of of my favourite actresses right away.

Every character has a purpose and a story to tell which in some way affects the main trio. Those little stories are woven together with different family tales and well known stories to create a unique and captivating tale. Of what? You'll have to see.

Production is top notch too, from set design to costumes right down to the fairy tale booms written and illustrated specifically for this show. Music and songs fit the scenes so well that later they could evoke an emotional response and set the tone for upcoming scenes all on their own.

Are there any less-than-stellar moments or tropes in here? Sure. If you've seen enough drama you'll see the patterns and know how things will play out and when. But that is nowhere near enough to take away from the whole experience.

A big part of magic lies of this drama in the discovery of it. So it might not be a perfect show to watch again and again for that reason. But I know I will watch it again when I need to feel the way this drama made me feel.
