It’s Okay To Not Be Okay mesmerizes with its brilliant sketching of human nature in its various shades. It’s a beautiful show that centers around the sensitive subject of mental health.

The story has now moved to the small town where the Ok Hospital (the center place where everyone works) is located. The town is also where all the leads grew up. Episodes 3 and 4 shed the light on Kang Tae’s life. First we thought he is this caring person Continue reading →
