First Preview for It’s Okay to Not be Okay with Kim Soo Hyun and Seo Ye Ji is Surprisingly Dark and Intense

Okay, this is NOT what I was expecting especially since the first poster for tvN drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay had butterflies all over it. The first substantive preview is out and things are looking mighty sad and intense in It’s Okay land, complete with Kim Soo Hyun running away, more running away, talking about running away, and then Seo Ye Ji getting choked and living in a massive out of a gothic movie type baroque mansion complete with trailing long dress. I don’t quite get what I’m supposed to take away from this but it’s not the impression of a “healing” drama that I see in K-drama land (cue the perfect amazing It’s Okay, It’s Love as exemplar). I don’t think it’s bad that the tonal bent of this drama is more serious than I thought, mindset adjusted and still waiting happily for its arrival next month.

  • I am worried over the title "healing drama". But then, I was skeptical over My Ajusshi back then but it turned out to be the best k-drama I ever watched, which I love to the moon and back. So, I keep myself open to all possibilities.

  • Having a big brother with autism and being responsible for him can be very hard.

    It can't be worse than Fix You anyway...

      • Both leading actors are amazing. The way they treat the patients can be misleading but overally its pretty enjoyable. Never saw a leading character with this kind of disorder anyway so it 's interesting

  • The teaser looks good. Looking forward to this drama. i hope that this will be on Netflix!

  • KSH is a great talent. He can draw varied types of emotions with his eyes, with his body from head to toe, even the vein on his neck is on point when he is acting. He is an intelligent actor. He is brave, courageous by taking into roles that are beyond the formula romcoms. We’re praying for “It’s Ok Not To be Ok (Psycho But It’s Ok) coming to Netfix and tvN on June 20, 2020! Fighting?

    • Totally agree with you. He is good in all the small details. Look forward to see his superb acting in June❤️??

  • Yea this is a 180 from what I’d consider “healing” LOL. But honestly, I’m quite glad about it. The trend of healing-but-in-reality-boring was not what I was hoping for in KSH’s return.

    This is more like it. A gothic melodrama ish type. Not sure what to exactly compare it with, but I hope for Goblin’s vibe personally. The whimsical, funny and emotional type. Let’s see but very excited now!!

  • looks serious.. still looking forward to it, will check out the first 2 eps and see if it's my cup of tea

  • I love the trailer but it is so damn depressing I wanted to cry just seeing both leads look like they're being dragged through the wringer and are emotionally wrecked. I want their journey to be believable and to sustain the 16 episodes. One can't love due to a health defect and the other denies love because of his circumstances well my money is on the scriptwriter to make this work because the talent is there so now we're reliant on the story. If not then I'll definitely be needing some healing to recover afterwards.
