Major Realizations Along With Transformation Awaits in Episode 7 of It’s Okay to Not Be Okay Ending with Ratings of 5.054% and 5.555%

Each episode of It’s Okay to Not be Okay surprises me, catches me off guard much like Moon Young’s striking utterances and the unfolding truths about what the past was for these main characters. Normally I stan the romance above all else but here I want these characters to heal first because they can’t really sustain a healthy relationship otherwise. In the excellent It’s Okay, It’s Love, the drama hid the male lead’s schizophrenia until we found out alongside the female lead long after their romance was cemented. Here both Moon Young and Kang Tae are so broken, as are those around them, that their romance feels both beautiful but ancillary to the more meaningful development that these human interactions help people break through and confront trauma. It may not always be a easy balm or a magic healing bullet, but it brings forth a willingness to work through the pain. Episode 7 was lovely, I cried and laughed and as always cannot wait for the next episode to drop.

    • Believe me, endings every episodes are not so much of a cliffhanger. So its okay to watch it during its run.

  • The character is so problematic, I am afraid with how they'll end this drama

    I don't want to have "love cure it all" moments. They need to have someone with sanity around them.

  • I love this show so much. Every scene has its value. The dog's story broke my heart. It touched the sensitive part of our life. Somehow we forget how to untie the unpleasant thing.

    This one is not the usual kinda drama. This is a deep drama. Love it.

  • Seems like kim soo hyun cant defeat kim yoo jung’s star power in korea now. Tbh tmets is a hit because of kim yoo jung and yeo jin goo.

    • What are you talking about? 5.5% on tvn is 2 times on national tv. It's like 11%. And popularity wise, its okay is moooreeeee famous. Sigh.

      • Cable channel ratings has change when twotm cloy and itaewon class came out lol so dont excuse your so called cable channel lmao

      • What change??? R88, mr sunshine, sky castle, goblin and of course, the world of the married got moreeee higher rating than itaewon and cloy. It hasnt changed just bcuz there were some hit dramas. Hospital playlist got 14% also. That means these dramas are crazily popular. Like dots when they got more than 30%. 5.5% was not bad. Especially with this theme. Duh. Check your fact first.

    • KYJ’s star power? Get the fuck out. This is the same person who’s last drama in a cable network couldn’t even touch 3.5% consistently. And BSR getting a mere 8% in a main network channel gets you the gall to gloat over it?! Your standards are very low I must say.

      Lastly, MoonSun’s highest rated episodes did not feature a single second of KYJ. So either you get your facts right, and save yourself from looking like a complete fool, or you do your research. The result will be the same anyway. There’s an ocean KYJ needs to swim by hand before she can get to KSH’s level. I used to like her, but god I’m really tired of her fans bullshit. When your fans are shit, even the actors feel despicable.

    • Yes thats true, the power of Kim Yoo Jung. if it's not for her or if Ji Chang wook had a different leading lady, BSR would have not gotten 8.7% viewrership rating on its latest episode. I expect this to increase in the succeeding episodes like hitting double digits when saet byul and Choi Da Hyun become a couple. Knetz live these two soooo much. Haters can hate -Ive mentioned this before, its rating will be like the fiery priest.

    • 5,5% and 8,7% on a public channel is a hit now? This is the real world, not the one in your delusions. You're obviously a troll, but at least try a bit harder.

      • It probably because bthe same people argue that the king's finale (5 and 8%) is a hit.

        Honestly this just boi down to
        BR performed better than what people predicted and It's okay perfor lower that the prediction

        Accept it and move on

    • lmfao who’s KJY? The one who’s last cable drama could’nt even hit 4%? Or the one who’s current drama - despite being on public network - can’t make it to double digits? Also, is she the one who can’t even touch It’s Okay actors in most searched actors despite her current drama being “oh-so-high-rated”?

      Delusional to another level. It’s entertaining tho. Keep going peeps.

    • Vivi - are you really so insecure to need to drag KYJ into this article? So irrelevant. Delulu!!

    • If anyone should get the credit for BR, it's probably the PD. The PD has directed Punch (Baeksang winner), Whisper and The Fiery Priest (both finale surpass 20%). So 8% from his drama is expected. Korean loves him.

  • Awesome, awesome healing drama. The pace (yes, might be a bit slow for others) is just right for what it aims to impart to the audience, I think. I too cried and laughed at the same time. All the cast is great, but special mention to KSY, him crying is just too much for me, such a great actor! I think this is one project that the cast and crew can be very proud of.

  • Loving this drama so far. It's in a class of its own with brilliant writing, acting, directing. KSH did well in choosing this for his comeback.

  • Each episode gets better and it’s full of deep and meaningful messages, amazing acting by the cast, strong direction and overall production. I alternate between laughing and crying every single episode. It may be one of the best Kdrama I have seen and I’ve watched soooo many since 2003.

  • As a rule, when KSH cries, I cry. I literally don’t remember a single scene in any of his dramas where he cried and failed to make me follow suit. He’s just fantastic and yesterday when he remembered that actually his mother did love him - that broke me. That was honestly gut wrenching. The fact that he hasn’t done a drama in 5 years and can be this good - it’s mind boggling.

    He’s always been a favourite obviously, and this might be a recency bias, but right now, I can’t think of a better actor in his generation. I hope he acts forever, irrelevant how successful he gets. I need him on screen for a long long time.

    • Everything you said, i firmly,strongly agree! KIM SOO HYUN is a great if not greatest actor of his generation.??????❤❤❤

  • I love this drama. Each episode brings in not only healing but self-realizations as well. I am always excited to see the growth of each character.
