Tudo Bem, Isso é Amor (2014)

Ask yourselves "Am I really doing alright?" and tell yourselves "Goodnight".

I finally decided to rewatch this drama after 9 years, now that ZIG is back with a new drama "moving"
I thought I may not like it as much as I did the first time after watching so many kdramas, because I first watched it in 2015, I was just starting in Kdrama's world. But I was wrong, this drama is still a Masterpiece for me.
The cast, acting, story, OST and everything else was perfect.

Story 10/10:
I have a weak point towards dramas that deal with psychological desorders: It's okay to not be okay, Kill me heal me, beautiful mind, they all are in my top list, and it's okay, that's love was the first that I watched of that type.
They portrayed many disorders in a romcom type of drama but it still didn't feel forced . The way the story was moving was so touching, it's a romcom but you still shed tears from time to time, the director made many wonderful touching scenes.

Acting/Cast: 10/10:
I don't even know where to start, the cast is perfect ZIG acting was top notch, GHJ is spontanious as act effortlessly as always, and their chemistry was blowing everytime they are in the same screen. LKS and the one of my favorite ajusshi SDI were the magical elements of the comedy, and don't even get me started with DO's acting, he can compete with many veteran actors even though he is an Idol.

Music: 10/10
Chen, Davishi, CrushxPunch... perfect OST that I listen to over and over again, and the ENGLISH songs that been used were so on point they felt like they were an original soudtrack for the drama.

Rewatch value 10/10
After 9 years, I felt all the emotions and maybe more since I know now more about mental illness. This such a meaningful Romantic comedy, even though it may give the opposite impression at first, which is not a very common thing nowdays

"It's Okay, That's Love" is a beautiful and heartwarming Korean Drama. When I first watched a few episodes of this drama, I was kind of getting bored because i feel like there is no progress happening in the story but still I persevered because I always made a promise to myself that whenever I watch a drama I will watch it till the last episode and as for this drama, it was worth it. I love the story, and the casts along with their acting skills were excellent and the chemistry between the lead actor and actress were beautiful and almost perfect. As the story goes you'll soon unconsciously put yourself in their shoes as they suffer from the hardships they encounter and as they face their problems, especially when this drama centers more on mental illnesses, we will learn that it is important that we must always be understanding and showing our genuine love and care towards that person who is going through hard times. The music and the OSTs of this drama are also beautiful as it goes well with the scenes and it would be worth watching it once again.

Understanding Mental Illness on Many Levels

This drama really gets to the heart of mental illness, from the basic everyday adversities to the more challenging cases. No matter the example, it shows that we've all got challenges we have to overcome, and loving is the best way. The show does have a few too many examples, and so many within the circle, to illustrate, but each case makes you think and helps in showing that it can be overcome and that those affected should not be judged in society.

The cast is dynamic and the relationship between the ML and FL is on point! The character of Jo Dong-Min is so endearing and funny. His humor really lightens the mood at times. Jo Dong-Min's interaction with FL is powerful - teaching honesty in communication and feelings.

This is one of those dramas that sticks and has many life lessons. Watch with an intent to learn and grow and you'll love it!!

I just finish it, and I can't stop crying. I can't believe i'll not see the characters anymore, this thought is so hurting you have no idea if you have not seen yet... When I began this drama, I had absolutly no idea of what would happen, I thought it was a comedy, not so good but still funny. I was so wrong.. This is one of the deepest dramas i've ever seen, truly. The beginning is rather on a light tone with Hae Soo's story, which was maybe useless in my opinion or at least not very well used. But throughout the drama, we discover a complex plot made of pretenses, trauma, terrible pain but also of tolerance, love, friendship and compromises. Moreover, the acting is awesome and the chemistry between all the characters/couples (I said ALL!!) is awesome !
I don't want leave them. Definitively, this drama is too short. But still wonderful.
PS : the soundtrack is amazing too.

Story:
The basic idea of this drama is great! Two people, who have a lot of own problems, fall in love with each other and (of yourse) conquer all these problems). Also, you can find a lot of topics here that I haven't seen before in another drama. But that's also somehow the problem: so many topics!
So you have the female lead who is a doctor and has problems with letting herself fall into a relationship. She is then betrayed by her boyfriend and in addition to that, she has a trauma from her past she has to deal with.
Then meet the writer, who himself has a tragic family story with his brother in jail and he himself having problems to sleep anywhere else but the bathtub. Apart from that he's a player. Oh, and did I mention that his ex girlfriend plagiarized his recent book? But only with the help of one of his close friends.
But wait, wait, there's more! SO MUCH MORE.....
And that's also why I really had a hard time getting through this drama in the beginning. I get it, not everyone has a smooth relationship or is mentally and physically healthy. BUT there seems to be no one in this drama without very complex and complicated problems - either with him/herself or with one of the other protagonists. After some time it just got utterly confusing for me to the point where I really asked myself what the hell was going on in this drama. Also, the fact, that some storylines are intorduced, but then somehow just disappear without an explanation (at least a somewhat clear explanation for me), bothered me! Up until episode 10 or 11 I was bound to drop this drama any minute and give it a really bad review.
But then there is the ending. The last 4/5 episodes are wonderful! They are really really intense and beautiful, and make up for the rest. The ending is also the reason why I still give the story an 8.

Acting/Cast:
Very well done from all the actors. Their characters were just a little annoying sometimes.

Music:
Oh I love the music in this one! Especially as there are not only Korean songs but many English ones as well. Great music!

Overall:
Watch it and try to not get annoyed by alls these different problems. The ending is worth it! Still, I will probably not rewatch this anytime soon.

Drama about Multiple Disorder, OCD and schizophrenia

Great story about people who suffered Mental disorder. Cast are amazing. It has the best OST and most of the songs are in English. The OST is the one I will save and will listen to when I'm having a long drive. Drama made us learn how to deal people with disorder. Jo In Sung acting is perfect and I'm surprised about D.O he is really good too. The romance is a bonus. I Will say this drama is the best No Hee Kyung's drama. Well-written script and she did a lot of research to make this drama believable and worth watching. Recommended Jo In Sung drama. The chemistry of the whole cast os great.

I AM NOT LYING ABOUT 10/10

there's a lot i want to say for this drama. first of all, i've watched this when i was on junior high school and it didn't mean so much to me bcs i didn't really understand the context of it and it's talking about mental illness and all (ofc since the FML is a psychiatrist). but since i got on netflix, i browsed and i found this drama and remember nothing about this drama so i decide to give this drama a try once more. and damn, this was the best decision i've made in my life this year. even tho i'm not really fond and agree with some to most of them, it's still give me a LOT life's lesson to me and it makes me more pay attention about love especially, since the love story on this drama is more an adult one, and how they see love, how they manage love, and more more more. i am just realllyyyyy grateful to rewatch this drama because it means so much to me now. their personality is just so unique. even tho they often argue with each other, they still forgive and get back together (they just fought for a second and then forgiving each other isn't that cutee). yeah, no words can describe how i feel rn really. it's just been a really long time since i've found such an amazing drama. kudos for the actors, directors, writers, staffs, and all.

this is definitely a feel-good drama with a heavy topic, but even tho it's packed with comedy and all, it's still makes me cry on every single episode, especially whenever the brother's scene show up. i really feel bad for him, like he deserve the whole world too:( every single one of them deserve the whole world. i just fell in love with every character on this drama.

PS : big respect for jo insung for playing a mental illness role that well. not many can do it like that. he really go all out. much love from me!

PS(2) : THE OST OMG. there's no bad ost on this drama really. from the very first ive watched this drama till now, my opinion on this drama's ost doesn't change. amazing.

watched 7/24 through 7/31

took me longer than usual to finish (usually finish 16 eps within 3 days) but, i will say that when i started this i had no idea it was about mental health all i knew going into it was that it was two people coliving together, etc. but i was actually very glad that it (mental health) was one of the main topics throughout the show because very few kdramas (that ive seen) portray mental illness as good as i saw it here. i found jang jae yeol’s childhood backstory to be heartbroken and throughout the show i was hoping he could find his peace in the end. i related to him and hae-soo at times because i also struggle with ocd and i RARELY see it getting portrayed. many reviewed with how slow it was and i think the pace wasnt the problem, just how boring some of the other plotlines were. i think this show did a very good job with jae yeol’s relationship and connection to kang-woo, and it was very heartbreaking too😭as well as many other relationships dealing with mental health. on the other hand, it was very and awkward and weird how one of the side characters had romantic feelings for a MINOR when this was a grown man (they even said he shouldnt like her)

the OST was incredibly nice and fit well with each scene and many of the songs can be used as serotonin boosts. in the end, it was a very nice drama (and the main couple was cute) that really makes you think and see people outside of your own common prospective. — “most people aren’t comfortable accepting people who are different from us. we believe them to be wrong since they are different from us. scary thought isnt it?”

Let me just start by saying that I have tremendous respect for the writer of this show for crafting a story that tackles so many difficult issues in such a beautiful, touching way. No other Korean show did as much in terms of humanizing mental health and everyday struggles the way this show did.

The characters are adults that act like adults, talk like adults and struggle like adults. It's not another story of 30 year olds acting like 10 year olds. The writing touches on such issues as stigma, struggles surrounding intimacy, emotions, trauma, the necessity to choose between happy marriage and career and more.

I'd also like to say that Jang Jae Yeol is one the sexiest, most irresistibly crafted male characters I've seen. He has this aura of intellectual cockiness around him that is very alluring. I'm also happy to see Gong Hyo Jin in this production as she often plays characters that are not as sophisticated as this one is. I did find her character to be a bit weird at times, though.

Now I didn't give this show a 10 because even though I love the concept behind the story and I love how multidimensional the characters are, I felt that the middle of the show dragged despite the fact that the story unfolded in a kind of unpredictable way. The pacing just seems to be off.

It's Okay , That's Love ????
- The Review -

ok . teka . hinga muna ako , hano ?

*sigh* soooo . kalagitnaan pa lang ng storya , nakutuban ko na yung twist at lalo ako naintriga . at oo , ANG SICK NUNG TWIST . sobrang sick lang .

sobrang under rated neto kasi hindi ko talaga sya nakikita sa kahit anong list ng 'BEST' KDrama pero isa ito sa pinaka solid ang storya .

sick yung twist pero hindi malayong mangyari sa totoong buhay .

Alam ko ng magaling umarte si Do Kyung Soo . Kaya ko nga 'to pinanood dahil sa kanya . Alam ko na ring magaling umarte ang pambansang ajusshi na si Sung Dong Il - sa dami ng napanood kong KDrama na cast sya , alam ko na kalibre nya . Kahit si Gong Hyo Jin , alam ko na rin na award winning . ANG KINAGULAT KO , si LEE KWNAG SOO . first time ko kasi sya mapanood sa Drama . oo , si Lee Kwang Soo - yung real life bestfriend ni Song Joong Ki na sobrang sira ulo sa Running man . sya nga . hanep pala umarte si Gago . ibang level lang .

A MUST WATCH . kung naghahanap ka ng KDramang worth it pagpuyatan , isama mo 'to sa listahan . babala lang , hindi sya light . MABIGAT YUNG STORYA . at marami kang ipa-process na info along the way - marami kang matututunan .

again , di ako maka get over sa twist . may isa dito na hindi naka-credit as MAIN CAST . SUPPORTING lang . pero sya nagdala ng storya . sya yung turning point . pakshet lang . eto yung tipo ng storya na iisipin mo ng mga ilang araw pagtapos panoorin . iba .
