Seo Ye Ji is a Classy Children’s Book Writer in First Drama Stills for It’s Okay to Not be Okay

Sure, all eyes are on tvN drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay due it being Hallyu superstar Kim Soo Hyun‘s first post military discharge acting project. No pressure, right? His female lead is Seo Ye Ji and I think he must’ve have a say in her casting because she’s now part of his new agency and he commands the highest paycheck for any drama actor so I can’t imagine he doesn’t get the final yay/nay. Seo Ye Ji already costarred with my favorite Lee Jun Ki in Lawless Lawyer and she was wonderful with surprising dominant screen presence I have no complaints with her casting here.

One cannot be intimated by Kim Soo Hyun and all his previous hits have been with strong confident female leads like Gong Hyo Jin, Jeon Ji Hyun (twice), IU (twice), and Nam Ji Hyun (twice). I don’t count Han Ga In and Suzy because both are so blissfully clueness and not at all self-conscious of their own limitations but they are flat surfaces for Kim Soo Hyun to project on. Back to Seo Ye Ji, she plays a children’s book writer but her first stills make her look like a Gangnam classy housewife. No complaints, the look is classy if that is what they are going for.

  • I don't think iu was that good in producers . In dream high , she was supporting role. My mister was her turning point.
    Though opposite KSH, she was nothing special in her roles. She was not on par with jun ji hyun, opppsite KSH.

      • A strong cast , plus a good director.

        She is good at cold roles. She plays her strength and take scripts with cold roles.

    • Iu left a deep impression on me in Producers as that cold on the surface but deep down vulnerable idol singer - not that easy for any incapable actress. It was certainly a big improvement from Li Shi Shin (when I watched her for the first time).

      I’d say Producers confirmed her acting potential which was then realised in My Ajusshi.

      • Producers wasn't her turning point. She played her TYPICAL cold woman role. Then after that, she had scarlett moon, a tragedy.

        So we have to disagree. She is decent actress now. But she was nothing special opposite KSH.

    • Ok, Ady. Just use your real ID instead of pretending to stan Kim Soo Hyun who can actually act unlike your fave the mediocre eternal chaebol Lee Min Ho lol.

      • Maria ask koalas to not limit my posts. The post where u n candy were bashing me she deleted my cmmnts n has restricted me. My new id avyually jelped me to post. Dont give jrself too much credit and my gave is still better than ur showpiece ?? and jeez u r obsessed. From nb to here.. u wait for my posting. And i have botbing to pretend lmaoo. I dont stan just one actor u like u who lives to worship wooden piece?

      • My oppa is still going to get main roles and will bounce back but ur showpiece. She will always be used as prop. A showpiece used for nothing. A glorified flowerpot. Wait for 30s to hit she wont even get that. ???my oppa actually brought profit but ur showpiece made sure there is no sequel. A useless flowerpot. And my oppa track record is still better than ur showpiece . Remember her movie which sold less than half million tickets. ??

      • U r a coward who needs people to come at me. And need whole gang. That is not going to stop me???

      • Ok, ady. Keep being delusional because my "Woozie" got higher ratings than your eternal chaebol. 5% range on a KES blockbuster/most anticipated drama of the year? What a disaster lmao. It's funny to see you talking about wooden acting when your eternal chaebol invented modeling/posing on-screen instead of actually acting lol.

      • @Maria

        Her oppa might cry that his show in Korea did not make it to the number 1 list, according to a poll.

      • Py i dont need to cry lmao. U guys r obsessed with me . What i do or not. Seriously develip a hobby or something. Its amusing that my comments hurt ur sentiments too mucb. My oppa will do fine dont worry about him. Some haters like u can enjoy till it last. Lmao

  • Seo Ye Ji, such a pretty girl. I remember in one of her earlier interviews she had said "As an actor she wants to be like reed in a pond, so deeply rooted and natural in its habitat that you can't pluck the reed out of it"...It makes me happy how she slowly, steadily made a mark in her career. Also I forgot that Kim So Hyun had worked with Nam Ji Hyun twice in his early career. It would be so incredibly nice if he is cast with her again. That almost kiss in Will It snow for Christmas, some good old kdrama memories right there, they had good chemistry even when they were so young.

    • Oh I forgot that show also had baby Song Joong ki in it, goodness now I really want Nam Ji Hyun and Kim Soo Hyun in a show together.

    • The children part of Will It Snow for Christmas was the best part of the drama. They had so much chemistry. I would have liked all the story was about them as kids and not adults.

  • I wouldn't count IU twice since the lead in Dream High was Suzy. I liked IU with KSH in Producers but the lead was Gong Hyo Jin. And with Nam Ji Hyun they were the child counterparts of the main leads in Giant and Will it snow for Christmas.

    I'm not sure about SYJ's look. Too sophisticated for a children's book writer. More like a very rich fashionista. Too high maintenance look.

  • I don't know Seo Ye Ji yet but she's really beautiful and chic looking. She reminds me of my faves Kim Ji Won and Krystal.

      • And why do u even have a prpblem with whom i support or not? Do u need a candy? U guys r obsessed. U think u can bully me? Lol. Same people write essays about bullying but darling i m too head strong. Now cry in cornwr

      • "KshFangirl" is also ady lmao. Her writing style is very obvious and she's the only one who calls Scarlet Heart Ryeo as "scarlett moon." lol

      • And when did i deny it lmao? Ask koalas to not to restrict my posts fron this id. She deleted my replies to u people ob many posts. And limited my posting in many topica. Dont assumr that i am scared of posting. Who r u even ?

    • Yes ladakh i am here. But funny this blog's people r funny and then got nerve to call me out just bcoz i had arguments with u in other post. R u marie's friend? Then darling i m going no where. No matter how much u guys wish. Develop a hobby. U guys targeting me is not going to stop me. And funny i mever knew u guys held grudges over comments.funny. bring it on then?

  • She looks incredible but It’s kind of weird to me for a children’s book writer to look like an incredibly rich socialite. I hope her character actually has an interesting personality and is written well...I know the actress will deliver if she has something to work with.

    • that's what i thought at first too but well jk rowling is a children's book writer and she is rich. so she could be a famous writer? or maybe she's into the high fashion look

      • Good point! I just want her character to be interesting and dynamic, I feel a bit wary of these character shots that basically look like a photoshoot like her appearance is the most notable thing about her character. Please don’t let me down writer!

  • Praying that Nam ji hyun will be given the chance to work Kim Soo Hyun. they are my faves.
    As for Seo Ye Ji, she's pretty. I love her outfit. looking forward to her chemistry with the ML.

    • They had awesome chemistry in Will It Snow for Christmas. I’d like to see them together again, this time as adults. Preferably in a romcom, though a thriller is good as well.
