Tudo Bem Não Ser Normal (2020)

something was missing for me?

This drama was pretty good. It touched on a lot of different perspectives you don't normally see. It was definitely interesting and I liked the unique personalities going on. The actors also did an amazing job. The actor for Sang-Tae was so great. He made me believe that he was the character and that he wasn't acting. The child actors for Sang-Tae and Gang-Tae were also great.

I would like to mention that a lot of times dramas are ended in a weird and unsatisfying way. I won't spoil anything, but just saying the ending was satisfying and it is one of the best last episodes I've ever seen.

Even though this drama was really good and made me cry the most, for some reason it didn't make me want to finish it. When I watch one of the episodes, I'm always super immersed, but when it's time to watch another one, I almost don't want to. All of the episodes were good, but some part of me didn't want to continue, even though there were only a couple episodes left. Of course, in the end I pulled through. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there's a chance you might lose interest and that the show isn't that bingeable (unless you want to go through an emotional wreck). I'm not sure.... I can't pinpoint what it was.

Yes, I didn't really want to finish it, but I still really liked the drama. There was good character development, the music was good and a lot of the supporting roles' stories were included, all of which I liked very much. I would definitely recommend watching it, since the show was well thought out and had a good story.

Something about the show just wasn't for me.

Psycho but it's okay

My favorite drama with my favorite actors...what's more to ask. Thank you the director-nim. I hope for more drama of Kim Soo Hyun and Seo Yea Ji together. This Drama was not devoid of plot twists, comedy, heart wrenching moments, romantic tit-bits and character developments.

My most favorite character is Sang tae oppa. And the most satisfying character developments I have seen is in this series. I love it.
At first, I was not into K dramas but I HAD TO WATCH THIS. After watching this I watched all dramas of Kim Soo Hyun and Seo Yea ji and the chain goes on haha...

Uno dei più bei drammi coreani di sempre.

Sono stata gradevolmente colpita da questa magnifica storia, mi è piaciuto tutto, gli attori principali, quelli secondari, la musica, la grafica, la profondità del messaggio che ci vogliono trasmettere infatti It's ok not be ok, possiamo permetterci di stare male e va bene così. Lei è strabiliante nel suo personaggio, Oh Jeong-se nei panni del fratello autistico è di una bravura assoluta, la signora che fa da mamma della antagonista è anche lei fantastica così come lo è il direttore del centro psichiatrico. Tutti fantastici perfino gli attori invitati, Kwak Dong-yeon ballando in mutande al meeting politico di suo padre padrone mi ha fatto emozionare fino alle lacrime, quante volte sentiamo il bisogno di essere apprezzati dai nostri genitori anche se non siamo poi così eccezionali e ci serve solo essere compresi e accettati. Essere compresi per quello che siamo un bisogno insopprimibile di ogni essere umano! È un dramma di dolore e guarigione, d'amore per gli amici, la famiglia e la propria coppia dove le persone non sono perfette ma provano ad andare avanti superando i propri traumi, limando le proprie asperità per infine crescere nel percorso travagliato della vita. Guardatelo, ve lo consiglio davvero tanto non ve ne pentirete. 10/10.

Heartwarming and Best Korean Drama

Since 2019...I have following Korean Drama deeply and I have watched many Korean Drama but It's okay to be okay is one best best korean Dramas I have ever seen till date. This drama is on another level because of beautiful story line, best dialogues, narrating the story, director and cast give full efforts to this drama.

Interesting FACT: The screen writer Jo Yong said the plot and storyline inspired by her real life love someone.
(No spoilers for reviews)

Right from the first episode, I was pulled in and I really didn't want it to end. This drama for those who love dark romantic, motivate, psychological dramas. I don't right any character name Or anything related to drama. This series gives you roller coaster ride to your emotions, curiosity from the beginning where you could not to stop in between instead you will keep waiting for the next episode to watch. When I have completed this drama, it effects that healed my soul somewhere... I am really really... Thank You to all members, cast, director and specially screen writer Jo Yong for healing my soul and many souls around the world.

I know the Trailer is not so convincing but definitely is a must watch!

Would definitely have to say my favourite drama of all time. I do not think there are many many dramas like this especially addressing mental health. I'm the type of person to only watch Romantic Comedies because isn't life already sad enough? haha. For some reason I had a good feeling that this drama is going to be a very nice drama. Just like most people I also judge a drama by its trailer however when I watched the trailer I thought it was going to be just a very sad drama that's the main reason why I put back on watching it. However scrolling through Instagram I saw a few clippings of the show and I realise that the atmosphere of this drama throughout the whole show is not sad and there are different emotions actually involved, like humour and I think that is why this show is so amazing as to how they address different problems that the characters face and the weakness of the characters but at the same time there is humour in world which doesn't make you feel so sad. I think when making a movie or a show having a good set of characters with a strong background is very hard to do however this show nailed it with having three main roles with very different personalities tackling their own issues and just growing not physically but mentally as they progress. I think this show has given great importance to every small detail like cinematography, choice of OST, the clothes used to set the character etc which really adds great value. From not only prioritising perfecting and casting the main characters but the side characters too. Adding minute details like Sharing the illustrations written by Ko Moon-young which can often be connected to one of the three main roles and sometimes to life itself, helps understand the character further in depth.

Coming to the characters further. Ko Moon-young a children's book author who is seen to be a very cool hearted person when at the beginning when you see flashbacks of her childhood it would be common to find it hard to understand her character because she didn't have emotions of an ordinary child and so at first I did find it strange but but then I realise that's just how she was brought up by her mother. She was taught not to feel emotions and when later on she meets Moon Gang-tae she slowly understands different emotions and feels the warmth and love that she had never received when she was a child.

Moon Gang-tae the younger brother who is an employee at a psychiatric hospital. Now Moon Gang-tae is a person who has suppressed all his emotions because I am very young age she has been taking care of his brother and he feels like he needs to be the adult to be able to take good care of him. In this process he's never been Will to live a carefree childhood as his mom made him responsible for his brother and to take good care of him and along the way he was a child he did feel that his mom never love them enough and only loved his elder brother were the case was that she just gave him the extra love for his condition. This really hampers Moon Gang-tae's character as all his life he's only been protecting and taking care care of his elder brother and no one was really protecting and taking care of him because he lost his parents at a very early age. Moon Gang-tae's character progresses as later on he opens up more abhor emotions and allows Ko Moon-young to take care of him.

Saving the best character for the last, Moon Sang-tae (Moon Gang-tae's autistic elder brother). At the beginning of the show Moon Sang-tae is a very dependent character who finds it hard to read others emotions and understand non family relationships due to his condition. However, as the show progresses, this character grows and learns to accept Ko Moon-young as family and determined to protect his family and follow his dream of becoming an illustrator. Seeing this massive change in character and how he later takes care not only on Moon Gang-tae but of Ko Moon-young too is enough to make a grown man cry. I also have to mention Lee Kyu-sung who plays as Moon Gang-tae in the show did a fabulous job.

Not everyone will like this series because it isnt a typical korean drama, it worked us through different kinds of mental disorder and ways to overcome them.
It is not fictional, or supernatural it is more of a healing drama, and for people who have suffered or are still suffering from someone kind of mental disorder will be able to relate on many levels to this drama, it shows that everyone can change, everyone can heal if you just have the right person or persons by your side.....
My sister isn't a kdrama fan like me, but this particular one she was heads over hills for. It a drama worth all time if you just open you mind to something new

Got me hooked!

I'm glad I decided to watch this series because the story line is superb, the acting is great, the on-screen chemistry between all actors are awesome, and even though the story is a bit dark but they mixed it with enough humor, romance, and "healing" in it which make this drama such a treat to watch.

The lead actress plays her character incredibly well and all those dresses she got to wear are to go psycho for ?

There are few surprises in this drama that you didnt really see coming but some how it worked well.

All in all, this "helping each other to heal" drama is definitely my favorite Korean by far of 2020.

This is probably the first time I'm actually going to review a drama but that's because it is just THAT GOOD! Or perhaps as someone already wrote in the reviews boooy what a journey it has been!!! The story starts off with not so usual plot line but with each episode you get to see even more unusual (for the kdrama world) yet very real life struggles and good yet also troubled people trying to help in these matters. In each episode we get to laugh a little bit, dream a little bit and cry a little bit. If you watch this drama you cannot simply remain neutral or fantasize about a favorite actor/actress and be done the drama the moment it end. There are too many different stories and morals, presented by the very best acting by every single one of the cast. In addition the music and the sets are so good.. This kdrama is simply like nothing I've seen so far and I hope the cast and the production team get as much awards as they can for it.

Perfectly Imperfect

An amazing and well-written story of three individuals traumatized in childhood. The storyline weaves a tale of discovery in the connection of these traumas to each other, yet examines their individuality as each character breaks through the trauma and begins to experience life on the other side. At times it felt scary, almost too much of a thriller. There are scenes I held my hands up in front of the screen to protect myself from the "gotcha" moment. At other times I laughed out loud as the secondary characters provided the comic relief, and cried alongside those who felt pain and hurt. I thought all the main leads, Kim Too Hyun, Seo Yea Ji, and Oh Jung Se were perfect for their roles and the acting was extraordinaire. However, the secondary parts were amazing as well. I knew Kim Chang Wan from his despicable character in Hwarang, and loved seeing him play the director/counselor/father-figure to those at the OK Psychiatric Center. He is an amazingly versatile actor. So were the other characters played by some of my favorite actors from other dramas, Kim Joo Heon, Kim Mi Kyung, Park Jin Woo, and Park Gym Young. The casting director for this drama should take a bow for getting the right actors into the right roles.

The storyline keeps you caught up in the story by weaving the connections between past and present. I don't really recall a time while watching that I felt the story lagged. There is also a twist that I did not see coming, and I have to say it was a blow to my ego. I'm fairly good at figuring out plot lines in books, tv, and movies. This twist I did not see coming at all. That's how good the writing was. I'm adding this to my top 3 best dramas I've watched this year.

One of the most relatable story

It's okay to not to be okay is one of deepest and thriller drama series I ever watched. Story have lots of mysteries and well connected the past and present scenarios by the director. Character building is also good and as I complete each episode it involves me more into it. About the cast, yes, So yea Ji is as gorgeous as ever in this series and Soo Hyun perfectly played the role of his character as he always do. I like most about the series is how they showed the deepest thoughts of mentally challenged patients and every patient should be treated by proper care and some love. They also introduce us to the darkest desires of a person and how that desires will lead us to become a different person than we used to be.
