This is such a beautifully shot, written and acted drama that I'm beyond shocked at the Korean ratings. I also saw where "Backstreet Rookie" was dropping fast in the ratings also (I like it because it's a light comedy), but this drama is the rare unicorn seen that deserves a perfect 10.

Spot on. My son is on the spectrum and it's super hard for him to read micro facial expressions. If a person is tired, he tries to reason why they are mad, etc. I think what is really super interesting is Moon Kang Tae's feelings towards a cemented attachment as his brother's caretaker. Kim Soo Hyun's expressions to convey the emotions has to be the purest performance of an acting craft. I truly can't tell where the actor and character separate.

Bate's Motel. Hilarious!!!

Viki has licensed and usually if one platform has it, the other has to wait.

I agree and am enjoying this drama a lot.

I am absolutely in awe of the writer(s) of this drama. They are quite literally spinning reality and fairy tales together for a multi-dimensional script and it makes me think and process each episode for hours after airing..

I'm wondering if Go Moon Young wrote the Zombie Boy story knowing it was a mirror of Moon Kang Tae's life.

As a viewer of episode 1 -4, I'm trying to figure out who is the most broken (the why's are slowly being revealed at this point of the story). Through her actions, Go Moon Young is labeled as "psychopath" or a "crazy b$#@!", but the more I watch Moon Kang Tae and his interactions with others, I would say he goes through the motions of life without the emotions to live it.

I'm watching both dramas and Ji Chang Wook of "Backstreet Rookie" (which I also like) seems to choose more lighthearted genres to star in. So far, each episode of "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" leaves me utterly stunned in its complexity of characters and story line. In its first four episodes, I've yet to watch its equal.

Episode 4 summation - "As a society, we love the exceptional, the compliant, the pretender and dislike everything outside the norm. Unfortunately, humanity has yet to define what normal is". God, I love this show.

I loved her in that drama!

That's awful! I try really, really hard not to have solid objects close by when I'm watching the last episode. To have invested in characters and a story line for at least 16 episodes and have it fall apart in the last few minutes brings out some type of throwing fury that's hard to control.

The dramas that absolutely have me throwing things tend to end with the male or female lead taking a 5 year vacation overseas and then reuniting in the last five minutes of the drama. My inner 2 year old comes out in spades because this is just ugly, lazy writing. With this one, I'm not sure I care how it ends and am more interested in how the story and characters unfold. I agree wholeheartedly with you in hoping the quality of storytelling continues to the end.

In the Asian genre of storytelling, there exists the rare unicorn of actors whose chemistry can completely overcome the BS script handed to them (shout out to "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon"), ones that the script and acting carries the viewer into another place (hello "Incomplete Life" aka "Misaeng") and then there is "It's Okay to Not Be Okay". This drama exemplifies perfection in acting, script writing and production. Every nuance, every word and definitely every visual brings something brilliant to the table and I feel transported to a first person account of a narrative. If there ever was a "master class" for dramas, this deserves a permanent first spot.

Oh my gosh! I literally was busting out laughing on every [Insert Product Placement]! Thank you so much for this review!

If I find out she's in a drama, it goes on my watch list immediately. No synopsis needed.

I wasn't a fan of the J version either. The second part of this drama is the best.

I loved the main lead actor and actress but detested the story line. Love your review!

It definitely looks that way
