It's Okay to Not Be Okay is about the Moon brothers, who constantly move from one place to another to escape their own trauma. On the other hand, there's Ko Moon Young, a writer often called as a psychopath. They heal each other and eventually become like a "family."

First off, it's really, really pretty from the very start. The animation in the prologue is beautifully visualized. The castle, the Moon Young style, the fairytales book, everything is beautifull. I also love every fairytale they tell, each one carries a good and meaningful message. As an adult, I used to think fairytales were just for kids and didn't care much about them, but this series actually taught me a lot.

The directing is amazing too, every scene is shot so beautifully. The series gives off an eerie vibe at times, but it later becomes so healing and comforting. The acting is outstanding, especially Seo Yea-ji and Oh Jung-se, who are incredible. Kim Soo-hyun and the rest of the cast are great as well. The plot is solid overall, though for me, the writing could've been done better in some parts.

Still, I absolutely love the core message, "to face your trauma instead of avoiding it".
