Tudo Bem Não Ser Normal (2020)

Did not live up to my satisfaction.

This drama follows the genre of romance as well as other genres such as psychology. The plot sounds very interesting but the pace of the drama is just too slow. I don't enjoy dramas that are slow paced, resulting in me longing for the climax or just the rising action. The cast is good, the acting is pretty decent. I understand that the main male lead's character is portrayed as shy, quiet and reserved to himself however, there wasn't a depiction of outstanding acting as these types of characters composition don't contain of heavily influenced acting or dialogue. Overall at the most I would recommend this drama to someone who has just started watching kdramas.

I've been waiting for this drama since it has seo ye ji and the comeback of soo hyun, and so far it has yet to disappoint. the plot is great and they already have spectacular chemistry(I'm assuming because they have already been a couple in a commercial a few years ago). I hope this drama stays having it's plot intact cus there are plenty of dramas that stop being good half way through. But yea, i would say this is a interesting and cute drama so far. I'm really loving the new female roles they are making leads now a days, rather than the female lead role always being some hard working girl that is poor or is dating her boss and is a push over lol. New and fresh i love it. At first it reminded me a bit of IU's drama of last year. Mainly because the ending when soo hyun appeared and now hes in this ? Wow... episode 4 is BEAUTIFUL i cant

Not for me.

Hated the dynamic of the main couple, and knowing they end up together made me drop it. I liked the characters, but did not want the main couple to end up together at all. Usually I wouldn't mind all the problematic stuff that comes with characters like these, I might even love it (if they go through character development etc.) but the fact that Sang Tae was involved made me hate it. I didn't care about the main relationship, I only cared about Sang Tae and wanted him to be okay. There were way too many episodes left for me to keep on watching just for a relationship I don't care about. I googled the important plot points and dropped the series instead.

The acting was good though, very nice production. If you like the main couple's dynamic you will love this! It just wasn't for me. (Why wasn't it Moon Young x Joo Ri?)

t is a very unique drama that really needs to be appreciated. It was a big step to produce a full-length drama tackling about different mental health disorders. This drama is very psych-heavy but I guess people need to be aware of these disorders too. They need proper treatment and not judgement. The story is a bit cliche but they really added a unique touch to it. Since this Psych-themed drama shows how their thoughts run in their minds, I love how they portray these thoughts using animation and exaggeration (for differentiation from reality). People with mental health disorders might not be able to distinguish reality from their imaginations, thoughts, or fantasies, but the people around them could. We should show them that we understand them and we care for them (Just like how Gang Tae does it). It's good that they get treatment. I just wish Mun Yeong will also get treated. I know her character will still develop so let's wait for it. However, we must not romanticize her inappropriate actions. She has anti-social personality disorder which make her not being able to distinguish between right and wrong. This must not be tolerated and Gang Tae is doing a great job correcting her. This is still ongoing but it already made us feel different emotions. It's good that people are becoming more aware of different mental health issues and the triggers that can be associated with it. Thank you, It's Okay To Not Be Okay :)

Cinematic and Mesmerizing Plot

From what I’ve seen so far the FL can come off toxic but I believe the demons she’s fighting with emotionally bc of her past is the a major reason. Does it excuse her behavior, no, but it's understandable. The drama so far has touched basis in different aspects of autism, personality disorders and other mental disorders. It’s also nice to see there’s romance, but it’s not the main focus. It looks like a drama that focuses on mental illness and the healing aspects that will help bring awareness behind them. The main characters look to have different but similar pains in their childhoods and from what I see they’ll help heal each other’s wounds and grow to love each other. I have also heard some may view this drama a bit toxic or lack of plot depth. But from what I’ve seen so far I haven’t seen much to complain about. But what drama is perfect? For me, I feel this is a drama I’ll watch until the end, re-watch or even buy for my fav drama collection. This review is my opinion of course. To those watching, give it a chance at least. If it’s not for you, that’s fine. Happy drama hunting to all.

Dropped it cause of the FL character

I started this drama cause I was told it’s a beautiful drama that tackles mental health. Well the relationship between the brothers and their friend was the only good part of this drama and the story of Kwak Deong Yeon really touched my heart. It was quite heartbreaking.

The female lead character ( I appreciate the actress is good) is what put me off this drama, though her fashion was outstanding in the 5 episodes I saw. She is a toxic character, we don’t hesitate to call out male leads who are toxic , so not sure why this character gets away because she is a female. She is over bearing, treats others like crap (including her manager) and cannot take no for an answer, is imposing herself on the male lead despite him saying no to her. These are all clear red flags. She needs therapy (given her childhood trauma which I read in reviews since I couldn’t continue to watch her on my screen) but never gets any! If love could cure mental illness, we wouldn’t need psychiatrists / psychologists - so much for this messaging that love cures her trauma in a drama that focuses on mental health.

I know this drama is well loved, but I didn’t like it and this is just my opinion.

Work of brilliant art, story telling and masterful directing

The visuals and photography are crystal clear and beautiful. It is like watching a master artist paint on a canvas. The actors are so beautiful and the "lack of feeling" on their faces conflicts with the emotion the story is communicating in such a complimentary way that you can not help but think about the story frequently during the week. The impact of the way the director put everything together is very powerful. I completely believe that some people watching this movie will experience profound healing from past hurts. At times it is so funny and quirky that I laugh out loud and I dont frankly care who hears me or who thinks I am crazy. I am in good company in the movie in any event! How anyone can think this movie is boring goes beyond believe...they are probably crazy as well! This series is a collectors item which ever way you look at it.

I just wanted to say that some people are trying to give an expression that it is boring or something just to drop its view and ratings. Do watch it yourself all the episodes that have aired so far and decide for your for me this drama is the best one so far in this year is it gives a meaning to fantasies and real life emotions. It one hell of a psychological ride. Just watch and decide for yourself . This drama connects past with present amd deals with traumas and feelings while targeting audience affected by those circumstances and giving them a notion that these wounds can be healed with a little support over time. It will take time but definitively will heal

The Emotional Rollercoaster!!!

Okay so I want to start off by say this... This show gave me Emotional Trauma in literally the best way possible. It's 100% honestly one of, if not THE BEST Kdramas I have ever watched in all my life. The show held my attention so well, the emotions were on point, the acting was suburb and the story was just endless excitement for me. I've never cried so many times watching a show in my life, some part made my chest feel so tight and so many times I was just left with my mouth hanging wide open... ohhh my goddd!! 10 out of 10..like this show was just perfect to me. It's amazing that I just finished it and I want to rewatch it again... I literally never wanted it to end. I fully recommend this show to just about anyone.. it had a little bit of everything. Comedy, thrills, some spooky bits, romance and even just that good old fashion relationship drama that makes you want to just cry your eyes out. Ah I'm sad it's over... it was just an amazing show, just amazing. I will be rewatching this in the future for sure

Really really loved it

This is a completely different series compared to the ones I usually watch, but I'm so glad I finally decided to watch it. At first, I had some doubts about it, and after the first episode, I stopped halfway through, but I still felt like I wanted to continue watching it, and I'm really glad I did.

Personally, nothing similar has happened to me or to people in the story, but I believe that if someone can relate, it might resonate even more with them than it did with me. This drama was heartfelt, instructive, funny, and very beautiful. Kim Soo Hyun and Seo Yea Ji are extremely beautiful people, and they fit so well together. Oh Jung Se played his role just wonderfully, that seeing him as himself in the end was almost weird to watch. I really liked the dynamics between Moon Kang Tae, Go Mun Young, and Moon Sang Tae, especially towards the end, but also the relationship between Kang Tae and Mun Young. I also liked all the hospital patients and staff (except for the bad ones), and I liked seeing that everyone is human and doesn't need to be treated differently. I knew that before, of course, but it was nice to see it in the series. Also, the stories of each patient and the main characters, and their childhoods - they really made me think about real life and how many different people and stories everyone has, and at the same time, how strong they are.

I also really liked the series visually, how one of the patients had a memory on the bus and how it was put together, as well as all the transitions from one place to another, etc.

I really wish these books were real and available in my country, and that more of them would come out.

The story was really beautiful, and I believe there may be those who may not like such a series, but I recommend giving it a chance.
