It’s time to say goodbye to It’s Okay to Not be Okay and I’m most loathe to bid farewell to male lead Moon Kang Tae. I feel like his character still has the most untold changes in the future, what career will he pick after going back to school and how will he navigate finally putting himself first and also still being the bedrock for his love and his brother. These questions are only there because Kim Soo Hyun was simply phenomenal in his performance as Kang Tae, bringing the character to life and without the crutches of being a “perfect male lead”. He’s not an alien with super powers anymore or the King of Joseon Korea, Kang Tae is most akin to Baek Seung Chan in Producer but darker, sadder, sexier, and manlier. I’m glad he played puppy dog Seung Chan prior to the military and got that performance done with before post military he’s definitely got a richer edge and exudes a more mature air. I know he’s picky and doesn’t need to do dramas or movies just for the heck of it but I’m going to start counting the days again until his next project arrives.
So this is the drama trolly producer Yu Zheng recently praised as better than Goblin…
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…
So Queen of Tears was filmed in 2023 and wrapped awhile ago so it's not…
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest…

not only he's a good actor but he has a good taste in picking dramas for sure. Almost all of his dramas are watchable and memorable.
He's versatile actor and doesn't play in his comfort zone only. I respect him because of that
meh
Honestly, his handsome face was pretty distracting, my brain didn't focus completely on the story :p
The drama was less impressive at the end but the actors were all very good until the end.
I'm very excited to see his next project!
Im in the minority who thought it was an ok drama overall. When it comes to mental health drama, i still prefer Kill Me Heal Me and It's Ok It's Love. KSH's acting was good tho, the crying scenes, i will give him that.
I I agree with you.
IOTNBO is certainly NOT the drama I would recommend for mental heath. It felt like window dressing. It’s ok that’s love way superior.
It’s also not the best role of KSH. To the words of the secretary advising the nurse “frankly apart from his good looks he has nothing to offer”.
I don’t mean his acting, it’s good. But he’s character wasn’t attractive
He had suppressed all his needs and desires for years to obediently fulfill his promise to his mother to care for his autistic brother. The only thing visible in the beginning was that handsome face.
Such a brilliant actor! Also anticipating his next project. I hope we don't have to wait that long. It would be nice to see him in a medical or legal drama.
Or a sageuk! I really am hoping for a romance-revenge sageuk. Ala The Princess Man.
I like that he pick projects for the different roles - not the hype. He’s a good actor, not the best, but not far behind and definitely not contented to just be a pretty face.
And when he’s in one role you don’t see other roles before which is a great testimony to his acting and the way he immerses into the character. Well done!
i wish some korean writer will start to think about story of a racer...i feel like Kim Soo Hyun will be awesome on some bikes...♥
a korean version of MARS basically yes i would want that too
ohhhh... MARS. Dang! that was a loooong time ago, but I remember how I was hooked on that series. And yes, Kim Soo-hyun would look really good in motorbikes.
I was never a real fan of his, despite the craze during My Love From Another Star. But in this, I found him really charismatic with acting chops. I hope there is a follow up to Hotel Del Luna and he becomes the new owner. He was awesome in his cameo. One can only dream......the man, in his suit with his hair and swag....what's not to love.
He was great in this indeed. His performance was incredible and charming, and I can't wait to see him in a new drama or movie again.
