Seeing the newest drama poster for It’s Okay to Not be Okay, a group one with all four leads Kim Soo Hyun, Seo Ye Ji, Oh Jung Se, and Park Kyu Young, the drama may not have a fantasy element but study above totally reminds me of IU‘s office in Hotel Del Luna.

Young man thoughtfully engaging in various activities.

Ever since I laid eyes on this boy ten years ago I knew he was destined to go places. He was the younger versions of male leads in Giant and Will it Snow for Christmas and his sections were in ways even more interesting that the ensuing story. He does the set up, so much angst and hope and dreams … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 12, 2020 by ockoalaJune 11, 2020
Actors at a promotional event, stylish outfits.

The press conference for tvN drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay seemed to arrive super early, seeing as the drama doesn’t premiere for another week on June 20th. Or perhaps I’m used to the last minute scramble and do appreciate how on top of things this production seems to be. The cast got the black and white dress code … Continue reading →

Kim Soo Hyun and Oh Jung Se are the Warmest of Brothers for K-drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 8, 2020 by ockoalaJune 8, 2020
Two smiling men embraced in colorful background.

I’ve discussed lead actors and actresses that had a great year but for supporting character performers it has to be Oh Jung Se on the drama side. He won Best Supporting Actor for his role in When the Camellia Blooms which took home the drama Daesang but he was also the second male lead in Stove League which won Best … Continue reading →

Couple amidst flowers and butterflies, emotional embrace.

Oooooohhhhhh, I love these posters! tvN drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay released a second batch of official posters today and it’s totally different than the earlier ones and way cool. It actually brings to mind Encounter (Boyfriend), not the posters for that drama but the opening sequence in each episode had fairytale illustrations that captured the mood and … Continue reading →

Couple embracing, serene and intimate moment.

Lordy is it hot in here. Not raging inferno fire hot but muggy tropics in the late afternoon with the stagnant beach air wafting in kind of hot. The official posters for tvN drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay are totally OKAY with me, lol, it’s better than okay it’s really lovely and the gaze of the viewer feels … Continue reading →

The promos for tvN drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay are coming fast and furious as the series will take over the Sat-Sun time slot starting June 20th from When My Love Blooms. So far it’s been different than my initial expectations but that’s lead to my initial impressions being more curiosity for what the drama will deliver. The … Continue reading →

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

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 28, 2020 by ockoalaMay 28, 2020
Dramatic scenes from a psychological thriller series.

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 … Continue reading →

Couple amidst flowers and butterflies, emotional embrace.

Hmmmm, this was not what I was expecting at all for the upcoming tvN drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay but I’m not complaining. Just curious why Seo Ye Ji‘s character looks like a fashionista even though she’s a children’s book writer or am I stereotyping lol. She gives off IU from Hotel Del Luna vibes and if that … Continue reading →

Four elegant portraits of a woman.

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?

First Character Stills of Kim Soo Hyun for tvN Healing Drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay

Person lifting a blue cart indoors.

K-actor Kim Soo Hyun has two modes for me – sincere young man and ACTIVATE mode when he acts. When he activates he just becomes another person, whatever character it’s that’s character and not Kim Soo Hyun. That’s why I remember the names – Song Sam Dong, Baek Seung Chan, Do Min Joon, he takes a well-written role and makes … Continue reading →

Young man with a serious expression indoors.

I love Kim Soo Hyun and just realized upon seeing the sneak peek at his upcoming drama that he mainly has like two looks onscreen. Super dorky (Dream High, Producers, Secretly Greatly) or super suave (You From Another Star, Miss Granny, Hotel Del Luna). For upcoming tvN drama It’s Ok to Not Be Okay (Psycho, But It’s Okay) the look … Continue reading →
