E Nebună, Dar E-a Mea (2020)

Beautiful

Since this show had such an unique atmosphere, extraordinary actors, superb OST and fairy tale feeling, im giving it absolute 10/10. I loved it, really i watched it alone once and then again with my girlfriend and she loved it too.

There is one flaw though.
Since there us plenty of people talking about how good it is (and it was) im gonna talk about the flaw which bothers me a little in this show and thats the disorder FL has. I dont know what its called but its some kind of sociopathy and i dont really think that its curable. Even though its a healing drama, i dont think this is healable. This spoils a little bit the message in the end because if it was reality i believe this realationship would end very very bad... I think many people overlook this cause FL is such a beautiful person but it kind of send wrong message. She behaves really mean like REALLY MEAN sometimes but because she is beautiful and cute is it ok to overlook that? The show us so good but this was bothering me a little. It sends a wrong message really.

Good Representation of Mental Health.

I’ve been watching kdramas for a very long time and I’ve watched every genre and tone that kdrama has to offer, kdrama has quite a lot of cliches but still some of them are really good. It’s okay to not be okay is one of those few dramas that keeps you hooked and has a completely different setting rather than the ordinary romantic dramas. The show captures each point beautifully and keeps you wanting more. This show is not your regular kdrama. It has something different about it (in a good way) that makes it one of my favourites. The chemistry between the leads is one of the most captivating part of the show. I like how the emotions are potrayed in this drama. Every character has a different story to tell and the writers, directors have done a beautiful job in bringing out those emotions. Even the actors have acted beautifully. Kim soo hyun’s acting is so perfect here, he brings out the reality ij every scene to the point where you actually start feeling his emotions. Oh Jung-se is another highlight of the show, playing an autistic character such beautifully and he never fails to astound us. Seo Ye-ji playing a cold hearted woman but yearning for love is beautiful. I highly recommend y’all to watch this show. Trust me it will not be a waste of your time. ?

Em busca da afeição real

It's okay to not be okay é certamente um dos doramas mais marcantes e mais bem executados em tudo que se propõe. Uma história sobre a superação de traumas por meio da união de pessoas que compartilham dores negligenciadas em nome do conforto das pessoas próximas e como isso só piora a situação da própria pessoa e de quem a entorna, o trio principal entrega atuações incríveis, em especial a Seo Ye Ji e o Oh Jung Se, a Sra Ko e o sang tae respectivamente, a primeira entregando uma personagem excêntrica que a primeira vista parece ser uma psicopata, e chaga a ser um pouco, mas que com o passar do tempo mostra que é só uma pessoa carente ao extremo, efeito de uma criação afastada de tudo e todos, mas que não sabe demonstrar afeto de uma maneira não possessiva, tratando as pessoas como objetos. já o segundo entrega uma das melhores atuações que já vi se tratando de personagens com transtornos/deficiências, visto que é muito fácil cair no caricato ao interpretar tais personagens, o que não é o caso aqui, toda a jornada de afirmação dele perante os outros é muito bem executada, e com momentos muito emocionantes.
Por fim temos o Gang Tae, personagem do Kim Soo Hyun, o na minha opinião personagem menos marcante mas mais bem desenvolvido, todo o desenvolvimento dele aceitar que o irmão é um ser separado dele e que pode se cuidar sozinho enquanto ele também se aceita como um ser independente e que não foi feito só para cuidar do irmão é muito bom.

O plot twist principal também é bem feito, o elenco secundário funciona bem como alívio cômico, a trilha sonora é boa mas nada muito incrível. outro ponto a se destacar são as histórias da Sra Ko, todas muito marcantes visualmente e com mensagens que realmente me levaram a refletir sobre diferentes aspectos.

Concluindo, it's okay to not be okay é certamente um dos doramas que eu mais recomendo se você quer uma emocionante jornada de aceitação e de não cura, mas aceitação de traumas e como conviver com eles através do compartilhamento dessa dor com quem você ama.

ME ENCANTÓ

Al igual que muchos dramas con historias innovadoras, este tiene sus fallas y principalmente ocurre cuando se presenta a la villana tan grande en quien ya está girando en torno la trama, personalmente no me pareció del todo convincente, nunca se explican sus intenciones y cómo es que logró mantenerse oculta durante tanto tiempo y porqué decidió regresar de la nada. Me mantuvo muy intrigada y realmente estaba convencida de que era una verdadera villana, simplemente la revelación hizo que lo sintiera algo forzado.

Fuera de eso todo lo demás en este drama es INCREÍBLE. Un drama enfocado en la salud mental y que tiene a un adulto autista como protagonista es hermoso. Amé como nos presentan distintos casos y personajes que se sienten tan humanos por tener deseos egoístas y cometer errores.
Lo que mas me gustó del drama: La trama contada a través de libros infantiles, cada una de estas historias y como el ambiente se transformaba y combinaba con animación para contarnos una historia dentro del drama.

Las actuaciones son buenísimas de absolutamente todo el elenco, Kim Soo Hyun es ideal para Moon Gang Tae quien es aparetenemente tranquilo pero sufre emocionalmente, Seo Ye Ji me sorprendió como Ko Mun Yeong por lo que no imagino a alguien mas interprentándola, desde cada uno de sus gestos, acciones, porte y voz lo hizo increíble y el mejor sin duda Oh Jung Se como Sang Tae, no esperaba que su personaje fuera trascendental en la trama y no hubiera causado el impacto en mi sin este actor. Incluidos los personajes secundarios e invitados especiales, todos lo hicieron excelente.

En cuanto a la pareja protagonista, sí esperaba un desarrollo diferente, el sentimiento con el que te deja al final es similar al del inicio en donde no parecían tener una relación muy estable debido a sus personalidades, lo cual supongo que es para entender que aprendieron a amarse por quienes son, aunque sí hubiera preferido ver un poco de tranquilidad para ambos a futuro. Gracias a la química de ellos es que los pude considerar como una verdadera pareja pero fue aún más hermoso ver a los tres protagonistas convertidos en una familia.

AMAZING.

This was my second-ever kdrama, right after CLOY so this masterpiece holds a special place in my heart. It's still one of my favorite dramas of all time. This drama is different and unique and that's part of the appeal, it's kinda dark and yet not, it's realistic with a touch of fantasy ambiance at the same time. The highlight of the show is without a doubt ML's brother Moon Sang Tae, who portrayed his autistic character astonishingly well. I've found in most dramas featuring autistic characters the show can be overrated simply because people appreciate an autistic lead, while the show itself may not offer much else - that's not at all the case here, the high rating is without a doubt deserved. I've never been so moved by a character, and that character's relationship with his brother, than I have in this drama. Watch it for that reason alone.

The one fault I did have with this show was for me as a psychology major, the whole "redeemable psychopath" thing got on my nerves a bit. In reality someone with FL's psychopathy traits would not possess any remorse or desire to change, period. Psychopathy cannot be treated, and I wish they'd been a little more careful with this. I did think it was a creative touch how they tried to relate her lack of ability to read people to Moon Sang Tae's autism (although also very inaccurate).

Even with those faults my rating wasn't affected because the show is otherwise so moving and well done. It's without a doubt a must-watch, just go into it with an open mind and try to see past the FL.

10 stars because trauma

Like all the others I fall in love with, I ask again, why did I put off watching this. All the ones I love sit in my watchlist for quite some time before I actually watch them. But then I have way too many on my watch list but man. LOVED the mental health representation. This one was so relatable in many aspects. The villain of the story still couldn't get past my ADHD character analysis brain, so I called it pretty early on. There was a couple times I said "oh didn't see that coming." so I give them props for that.
Cried and if you have read my one other review then you will know that's a favorite of mine so if you too enjoy crying, and you too have trauma, definitely worth the watch.

Female characters ruin a good show >_>

I had to stop watching this show because the female lead(s) were too insufferable and desperate. The way how they kept thirsting over the male lead was too cringeworthy. >_< At some points it even comes across as sexual harassment, the guy clearly felt uncomfortable. I was hoping for the girls to drop this act, but it just continued.

It is really a shame, because the drama is funny, creative, and gives a unique insight into trauma, psychological issues and mental health hospitals. For those reasons, I kept watching until episode 5. But around the end of ep 5, I got too embarrassed for the secondary female character and had to drop it haha...

It is hard for me to rate this drama, because I think I am biased towards a certain portrayal of female and male characters, and besides the main characters, this drama is rather good. Especially if the two main female characters were written slightly differently, I probably would have loved it. If you like watching women throwing themselves at a guy and even having a b*tch fight and pulling each other's hair over him, then this drama is probably fine for you... I simply lost my patience with it ^^'

A special shoutout to Oh Jung Se, his portrayal of an autistic person was superb and very convincing, really the highlight of the show.

I always have high hopes of the acting choices by ksh. I knew he is that kind of actor who chooses roles that suits him best though i know he is very versatile. The female lead is also very talented i have watched her previous dramas but this is by far the best role for her. Having them both makes it simply perfect. Their eyes, the body language and the way they deliver their lines is just magnificent.

The story itself is very fresh. Mental health could be one of the most difficult And challenging topics i guess to be shown in full length drama, but i can tell this drama will make a huge success. I can tell the cliche and the trauma of the leads already but they will certainly give justice to this in the end.

I have never wished for a drama to just reveal the whole 16 episodes already in one day but i certainly did on this one.

Toxic AF

Wanted to drop it after 1st ep but thought maybe I could stay on because of Kim Chang Wan but could. Not. Do. It. Dropped it 5 mins into ep3.

The male actor, Kim Soo Hyun, seems to be typecast into leads that are paired with toxic, prima donna women. First intro'd to him in My Love from the Star, which is on my treadmill playlist (films with moving images to keep my mind off the exercise time but with shallow plots that won't require any emotional commitment or interest on my part), then the short cameo at the end of Hotel del Luna, then now. His work in Hotel del Luna was good because it was short. His work in It's Ok Not To Be Okay... it's just not okay.

Female protagonist exhibits psychopathic tendencies since young age and is socially maladjusted yet everyone pampers to her every need because she's dressed up like a porcelain geisha doll replete with ridiculous high heels, f#ckable hyper short-skirted dresses, an emo attitude and a goth lean in look and makeup. Talking about the male protag's brother having erogenous zones in his hair triggered when the brother, who is clearly autistic, had a physical altercation during her book signing was inappropriate AF. The male protag just accepts her behaviour because why? He's scripted to? Because she's hitting onto him and she's flawlessly beautiful? Right.

Flip the genders around and see if her behaviours are ok. The way she tracks his info and then tracks him down. Stalking. The way she talks about wanting him like cars and pretty things. Objectification. The way she keeps talking about erogenous zones and bringing up the topic of sex work with him. Inappropriate talk. If it were a guy who did all this to a female protagonist the story would not be romantic at all. Why should we believe it's ok for a woman to do any of those to a man? Is it romantic? Not to this viewer. I prefer my romances healthy, functional and without red flags.

Was looking for a quirky romance. Since this was neither quirky or romantic and was just plain WTF, dropped it like the radioactive sludge that it was. UGH. Does not even make my treadmill playlist. Would not recommend.
