Great acting, great premise, bad execution, no real drama
While It's Okay to Not Be Okay started out with an intriguing premise and captivating first few episodes, the series stagnates around episode 5 and completely loses its luster by the end of episode 7, never to recover until the very end.My biggest complaint is that it was hard to sympathize with the ML, Moon Gang-tae (Kim Soo-hyun), who I found to be very whiny, mopey, and immature throughout, treating everyone around him with little to no respect. It was hard not to roll my eyes every time he grabbed the wrist of the FL, Ko Moon-young, which was A LOT.
Overall, I felt that there were many storylines that could have brought some much needed drama to the story, but the writer chose to center the drama around a very fickle romance that really didn't feel earned at all.

What an unexpected treat to the emotions! I laughed, I cried, and swooned a plenty. It was so hard to say goodbye to these wonderful characters and hop off this great rollercoaster ride. The story is filled with much more than just romance, but also murder, mystery, heartache, and healing. It will surely sweep you off your feet and never let you go until the very end. I highly recommend this series to everyone, but be warned! After watching this drama, it'll be hard to find anything quite as enjoyable. The bar has been raised.Was this review helpful to you?
