BAEKSANG 2021, YOU HAVE THE WINNER HERE!!!

Gosh! I'm literally speechless. I finished this drama last night (August 09, 2020) and in this very morning, I still can't compose myself. I get that weird feeling like there's a hole in my heart and I don't know how to fill the void. Two months journey with It's Okay To Not Be Okay every weekend is one of the best moments I've ever had with a K-drama. I was crazy about this one and got too invested. While waiting for the next episodes, I kept rewatching the previous episodes like million times! I even memorized all the scripts! Damn! When they say this is a healing drama, yes, here I am, healed by It's Okay To Not Be Okay!

1. The production
PDnim and all the crews, you have my greatest appreciation! Hats off for the hard work because I can 100% sure that your almost 6 months of hard work, sleepless nights and sacrifices, it all pays off! PERIOD! This drama is an absolute gems and I believe it had already changed and touched so many souls. The editing is a top notch! Like, look at that cinematic 360-degree shot and the very smooth transition on the early episodes, 대박!!!

2. Story
Jo Yong writernim, you're indeed a genius! When I saw those parallelism on the drama, I was like: "Wow! So the dots are connected now!" and it was 진짜 진짜 brilliant! Every episodes have a beautiful titles, beautiful morals and the titles perfectly encapsulate their whole stories. The character development is the main point. You can clearly see how they transform so beautifully.

3. Acting
There they are! The mighty Kim Soo Hyun, the versatile Oh Jung Se, the wonderful Seo Ye Ji: the trio is badass! Moon Gang Tae is for Kim Soo Hyun only. Moon Sang Tae is for Oh Jung Se only. Ko Mun Yeong is for Seo Ye Ji only. No one can do better than them. The quality of their acting are top tier. What makes me happy is that you can also see that all the casts were doing their best and 100% all out! Even the minor roles are doing their best! The old saying is true: when you work with a best partners in a perfect environment, that magic force will come to you and boost you. PS: If them three don't receive any awards in the near future, I riot!

4. Visual FX
I watched all the behind the scene-videos of It's Okay To Not Be Okay and I can tell the visual FX works like magic! The CGI is so perfect and looks very real! Look at the Cursed Castle. You almost can't tell that the whole building is all CGIed. I guess, all the upcoming drama have to learn from this one. It's Okay To Not Be Okay set the bar very high!

5. OST
OH MY GOD! The OST is very very very good! Like, all the songs are specially made for this drama, to support the story. I'm in love with all of the songs and even once made a cover of You're Cold by Heize. I need the album to be released on digital music platform soon!

NB: Have you felt so invested into the drama? That makes you watch it over and over again using 3 different languages? Have you felt the urge to learn Hangeul (or Korean language in general) just so you can watch the drama without the subtitles? Have you faced the fact that the OST keep ringing in your mind? Yes, I have.

Watch this drama and you will get what I get. Fingercrossed!
