I understand the sensitive subject matter is something important and people appreciate it, and I did like that aspect. But it seems it's overrated for that reason. The story was incredibly slow and I couldn't stand the leads. Especially the FL who was your typical tropey drama queen getting mad at ML over every little thing as a way for the writer to create drama. The man couldn't do one thing right without her getting mad, from spending too much money on her for a nice hotel room to him having too much fun while water skiing. She always had to pout and get mad. Can't stand this kind of FL.
I finally dropped it at episode 9 when they gave up on the entire tension they were creating around FL's trauma with sex. I don't want to give away any spoilers but it was an extremely uneventful buildup. So by episode 9 they were already together and everything else seemed done...and apart from a few interesting side character arcs, not sure what could carry the story 7 more episodes.

-=+STORY+=-
I thought the plot was great. This drama dealt with the sensitive subject of mental illnesses, which most dramas can't pull off. The story starts out with a good introduction, and you know immediately what each character is like. The rising action is great, it shows the growing chemistry of the actors/characters while at the same time giving hints here and there about present and future events. WOW! The climax! It was such a brilliant way to turn things around. The falling action was also great, as it showed how characters endured certain events. The resolution was also the perfect way to tie up the story. The one thing that slightly ticked me off was Hae Soo's short tempered personality, but that can be overlooked.
-=+ACTING/CAST+=-
OH MY GOSH. This cast was PERFECT! I could totally feel the chemistry between the characters, and the acting was so natural that I felt like I was watching them right before my eyes. Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin didn't disappoint and Kwang Soo and Dong Il were great supporting characters. In this drama, we also have a newcomer, Do Kyungsoo (D.O of EXO). I was really surprised by his performance, especially for a rookie. The characters were well developed, and I liked how all of them had their flaws.
-=+MUSIC+=-
Wow, this may be the best OST I have ever heard in a drama! Unlike other dramas, IOTL actually had english songs in the soundtrack. Most of the music was happy and joyous, while the more mellow tracks still had a great impression. I downloaded like half the songs in this soundtrack, and I could listen to it on repeat for a long time.
-=+REWATCH VALUE+=-
10/10 I am definitely considering watching this masterpiece again. I had so many great feelings while watching this. It made me laugh, cry, squeal and so much more!
At first I had high expectations of this drama, and it surely lived up to that. If you haven't watched it already I BEG OF YOU TO PICK IT UP! IT WON'T DISAPPOINT!

I so love this drama that it now works for me as a healing pill when I need to relax and forget of everything. I re-watch any of episodes (whichever I just feel like to) whenever I want. So I did up to 4 times already.
I didn't expect that I will like this drama (even though I'm a fan of exo and especially of KyungSoo). But I'm glad that I finally got to watch it.
It's so untypical for korean dramas - how the main characters are not stupid, but smart and extraordinary persons (not exactly but quite so). And all supporting cast just complete the main characters, so but I wouldn't delete anyone of them from the story. That's how all is balanced in this drama.
But I think Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin are the reason why it's so interesting to me. Their acting skills attracted me a lot. I tried to imagine this drama without them - it would be not so interesting.
I love that this drama gives the feel of clear reality, because there is real logic, common sense in behaviors and dialogs. I felt that this drama was written by a very wise person and directed by talented one.
There are so many interesting lines and psychological dilemmas and salvations, beside of the main story, that no single episode and scene is boring, and nothing left me indifferent. They put some psychiatric cases in the drama and show how doctors solve and treat the patients. I even started to believe that psychiatry might work in real!
I also like it that this drama shows different opinions on life situations. When I watch it I don't feel that I am being forced to accept one point of view (the author's). Heroes talk openly like in real life without usual taboos (as in other dramas). They express opposite points of view, and nobody really hates them for that. (Well, actually they don't look that much open minded but I still say so because at least their boundaries don't bother me unlike in other dramas do).
I was charmed by HyeSu and JaeYeol...
Jo In Sung. This was the first time I saw this actor. And well, I was charmed and in love. Though I don't like some of his opinions on life and was shocked with his behavior. But in some dialogs I respect him alot. His acting was excellent. And he is handsome as hell.
Gong Hyo Jin. Same: This was the first time I saw this actress. And well, I was charmed and in love.
And the rest of my impression about Jo In Sung is true for HyoJin as well. And !!! she acts sooooo natural, I would never say she is pretending. She has the best natural-gifted acting skills of all cast of this drama, from my opinion.
KangWoo, my Han KangWoo... I saw the making of this drama. And d.o. was really so focused and serious on his acting, that he even rarely laugh and smile after every serious scene shoot, unlike other actors usually do. I don't know if I'm right but I think in most scenes he wasn't really acting, but he was himself, and this is awesome. But in some scenes he really acts and does it surprisingly great: the tragic scenes he played so good that it took my breath.
Lee KwangSoo. SooKwang is awwwww I enjoyed watching this weird character.
Jo Dong Min. He is so disturbingly noisy and short-tembered that I couldn't stand him is he wasn't so honest, smart and thoroughgoing as a psychiatrist to HyeSoo and other mentally sick people.
Jang Jae Bum, the brother... I can't understand him. And don't understand properly JaeYeol's caring about him.
The family bonds is so big topic in this drama. I'm irritated by that. But that's okay, that's reality of our society :) And they show the reality.
Don't like it what JyeYol did to HyeSoo in the end. They showed it as a funny and happy final. But I felt sick and pity for HyeSoo :(
After it, I tried to watch other dramas of same director, writer, actors. But I didn't like them at all. Only I loved A Frozen Flower with Jo In Sung.
So I don't know how but only this time, in It's Okay, That's Love, those people have created a masterpiece.

Gong Hyo Jin, as usual, is an exceptional actress.. At the beginning I was not very convinced of the recitation of Jo In Sung.. Always very static in expressions but towards the end I changed idea.. He has managed to convey the image of a tough man but with a sweet and sensitive personality.. The other actors were outstanding..
Music perfect.. Wonderful scenery.. Beautiful messages..
Drama to see!!!

Immersion dans l’environnement des maladies psychiatriques
Je pense que chacun aimera ou non ce drama, surtout par le fait de l’immersion dans le côté sombre et inconnu des maladies psychiatriques et particulièrement la schizophrénie.Personnellement, certains moments m’ont dérangé et j’ai eu du mal. Mais le sujet est sincèrement bien traité.
L’histoire est dense, et toutes les histoires secondaires sont bien imbriquées les unes dans les autres.
Le tout saupoudré d’un peu d’humour. Le côté émotionnel reste léger par rapport à d’autres dramas, mais cela ne m’a pas dérangé.
Les acteurs sont bons, et nous emporte sans qu’aucun ne sorte vraiment du lot non plus.
Un drama qui traite un sujet difficile mais qui reste finalement léger. On passe un bon moment, même si ce n’est pas le drama qui m’aura le plus marqué.

I felt so compelled to watch just from the first 5 minutes of the pilot episode, which is so rare.
The story is amazing. Multi-faceted, well paced, interesting, enlightening; the accolades and adjectives could go on and on. The drama never had to rely on ridiculous twists and turns to keep it interesting. By dissecting the characters, and keeping the storyline introspective, the drama successfully added depth and dimension without any crazy hat tricks that come out of nowhere. Probably because the plot didn't really need great upsets to get the story moving. It's so fluid and just a total pleasure to watch. Each episode always led to the next, and by the time you realise it you've marathon-ed the entire series.
I loved how the drama was able to move from heavy topics, to playful banter, hilarious comedy, and deeply romantic moments with ease! Each scene was thoughtful and had purpose.
The characters were diverse, beautiful, insightful -- everything you want them to be. I was not irritated by a single character. They all served their purpose in the plot. They had their own story. The actors did a great job!
Soundtrack. Download. Great for that car ride to school/work.
Most importantly, the message of the drama is so important and relevant. Being aware, open-minded, and acknowledging mental illness is something society needs to be exposed to more. Fight the stigma and find beauty in others.

Then this is the drama I believe .
This is the best K Drama I have watched .
None of those compare to this one . You rarely come across content this great and miraculous as this .
This is the first time I have witnessed the whole cast give such a performance that I have no complaints about acting .
You will be surprised and baffled by how casually it starts and how dead serious it turns out .
Many of us can connect to this drama .
I learnt something from it and I'm sure you will do too .
All the characters have different traits . They all are important for this drama to stand out . And it rarely happens when you feel that there's no supporting cast at all .
The songs and the BGM are just phenomenal . Each and every song is melodious . I can go on and on humming those songs . They are very special .
The dialogues are witty and great .
The topics tackled , the taboo's tackled . Fears crossed .
The struggles we might have gone through once in a while . The courage mustered .
This drama gives you GOOSEBUMPS . Not once or twice but many atimes throughout .
Wish there were more of these .
This drama goes beyond perfection . Too good to be ignored .
I loved it .
^^
My fav character apart from the leads in this drama is of Sung Dong II ( Dong Min) . He's a masterclass actor . He nailed it in the supporting role .
P.S : Specially that Tomatina , I won't forget it . They made a quarrel therapy session out of it . xD

The drama consistently messed with my brain and I had to go read detailed recaps after each episode because I always missed a detail here and there (because details are so important to notice in this drama). It's not an easy watch and you really have to pay attention in order to enjoy this drama. I also recommend widening your drama scope (I had to!) so you can brush aside all the preconceived notions you might have had about dramas. This drama borders on two parallel worlds within the characters so it might be a little hard to digest in the beginning. After 3 episodes, I got more into the drama.
Many of the characters weren't likable but I guess that's what this drama aimed at: to show the flaws of human nature, and to allow the audience to understand a bit more about mental illnesses, which is a taboo topic in many Asian countries. I have never watched any of the actors/actresses before but I have no complaints. They were all seasoned actors and the leads, Jo In Sung (Jae Yeol) and Gong Hyo Jin (Hae Soo) were both amazing in their portrayal of their emotions.
I don't think I would re-watch this because a lot of it was discovery and wouldn't be as surprising in second watch. I appreciated that this drama tried to tackle mental illnesses. Even though it may not always be medically accurate, it was still a drama that shined a positive light on mental illnesses that is very encouraging. Most importantly, this drama contained a lot of heart. I wholeheartedly recommend this drama but only if you're in the mood for a quirky romance that is about embracing one another no matter the flaws. 9/9.25
