Japanese media: Kim Soo-hyun's anticipated comeback! "It's Okay To Not Be Okay" is a work that understands the esoteric aspects of Korean TV dramas

 

July 26, a brief translation of a drama review reported by a Japanese overseas TV drama scene analysis 

Recently, the Korean TV series that entered the Netflix TOP10 is "It's Okay To Not Be Okay" 
Now, it is not only South Korea and Japan that are actually broadcast to enjoy popularity. Countries and regions in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Southeast Asia, and Northeast Asia. Of course, there are South American continents such as Brazil and Peru, Nigeria in the African continent, and Australia and other areas, which are loved by audiences from all over the world. The IMDb content evaluation is 9.2 points (out of 10 points), which is highly rated. 

 

"It's Okay To Not Be Okay" why can catch people's hearts? 

Kim Soo-hyun's expressive eyes, 

Kim Soo-hyun is very popular for appearing in TV series such as "The Moon Embracing the Sun" and "You From the Stars". Explosive actors who shook the Korean show business in one fell swoop." After he retired from the army, he only starred in "Hotel Deluna" and "Crash Landing of You" became a topic. "It's Okay To Not Be Okay" is his first comeback after his retirement, and it was highly anticipated locally before it was broadcast. 

Kim Soo-hyun became famous in 2011's "Dream high", which gathered young K-POP idols such as MissA's Suzy, 2PM's Taekyeon, and IU. In the play, he played a good young man who dreamed of becoming a singer, and demonstrated his outstanding singing skills as much as KPOP idols. 

 

Then, in the popular Korean costume drama "The Moon Embracing the Sun", which has an audience rating of more than 40%, the tragic young king was enthusiastically performed. Later, in the fantasy romance film "You from the Star", he won the acting award for his unique role as "the calm and composed alien". 

He exudes an atmosphere of nostalgia and sadness unlike that of young actors now. Moreover, while being surrounded by nostalgia and maternal instinct, it exudes the charm of a sexy mature man. In the sad eyes that melted a woman's heart, he also won the "first place in the eyes of an actor", shining brightly.

"It's Okay To Not Be Okay" is the protagonist Moon Kang Tae (played by Kim Soo Hyun), who completely left his own thoughts behind for his brother with autism spectrum. Because of the weight of life, he became unable to believe in love. A romantic comedy in which the fairy tale writer Gao Wenying (Seo Ye Ji), who knows love, meets, comforts each other and heals wounds. In this work, Kim Soo Hyun's acting skills of "telling everything with eyes" are also very prominent. 

 

Now, in South Korea, the ratings of TV series have stagnated, and the "the-love story" is in progress. "Can a man be a miracle of man?" This consistent message, "When the Camellia Blooms", which is portrayed with warm sensibility, and "Hospital Playlist," which describes the daily life of doctors from a perspective completely different from previous medical dramas. "The Doctor’s Life", etc., are not gorgeous performances and earth-shaking stories, but very warm stories that move people to humanity TV dramas that have a popular trend. What TV dramas now pursue is not unrealistic stories, but a sense of reality that the audience "resonates" somewhere. 

The work that wonderfully controls the current trend is "It's Okay To Not Be Okay". From the first episode, there is a unique fairy tale world view and the beauty of the essence of the image. Is it an unrealistic fantasy at first glance? Although it is easy to think of it this way, its root is the three-dimensional universality and deep-realistic healing stories. At the beginning, it was completely impossible to predict where it would go. The novelty and freshness of the stories of atypical romantic dramas also attracted the attention of local audiences. And entering the mid-term, the message that the TV series itself called for was displayed in full color, stinging the audience. 

 

Episode 3 has an impressive scene. Except for the father, mother, elder brothers and sisters, and cousins of congressmen, everyone else is an outstanding talent from the Law School of Seoul National University. The patients with bipolar disorder shine in the speech venue elected by their father. "Since I was a child, I was the only fool. But it wasn't my fault. It was just a bad head. But it was beaten, fooled, and imprisoned. I was obviously also a son. Because I was too ignored-me too I really want you to see it, so I kept making noises, but I really got sick!" He said with tears, "Look at me! Look at me!" He shouted loudly. 

 

On the contrary, on the surface, they are “normal” people like Kangtae, and because of their mother’s preference for the autistic brother’s love, his heart is hurt and he wears the armor of a “normal person” alone, saying to himself, “This is my own life". What exactly is "normal" and what is "abnormal"? Is it too dangerous for "majority" to become "normal"? In today's society, people who cannot understand and speak are called "different from themselves" and " weirdo". Everyone is complicated. There is no one in this world who can explain "such a person" in one sentence. 

This work raises a question for the modern age that can't survive without wearing heavy armor in order to hide everyone's weak hearts and wounds. Moreover, even if you have an innate character and personality, everyone should be loved. It doesn't matter if you are just like you. This is a powerful message. 

Fans of Korean TV dramas in the past have already commented on this work as "premonition that it can only become the highest masterpiece". To understand the esoteric aspects of Korean TV dramas that portray the problems of modern society, this is a work that is very worth seeing, and I recommend it to everyone.

‘It’s Okay to Not Be Okay’ Takes Viewers on a Journey of Healing

 

The groundbreaking Korean drama reimagines media representation of mental health to build a show about struggle and growth

 

 

By Reem Farhat, Fordham University

 

 

Trigger Warning: This article discusses mental health with mentions of suicide.

 

The macabre undertones of Tim Burton’s classics meet Rapunzel in tvN’s latest Korean drama, “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay.” The series centers around three main characters: caregiver Moon Gang-tae, his autistic older brother, Moon Sang-tae, and a famous writer with antisocial personality disorder, Ko Moon-young. The three of them navigate their own traumas in distinct but connected ways, offering a visceral look at growth and healing. It is currently airing in South Korea and being released on Netflix every Saturday and Sunday.

 

The show has received praise from audiences for discussing mental health issues, a topic not often talked about in the media, especially in South Korea where there is a large stigma surrounding the subject. A study conducted in 2018 by Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives revealed that South Korea has the second highest suicide rate of the countries that make up the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Although many factors contribute to the high suicide rate, one factor is a lack of education about mental health. According to an article published by the Korea Biomedical Review, “The ridicule that follows a mental health diagnosis often stems from the fact that people are mostly unfamiliar with, afraid of or downright repulsed by the idea of mental illness.”

 

“It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” shatters these stigmas in a powerful way.

 

Gang-tae, the show’s protagonist, is a caregiver at OK Psychiatric Hospital and has been taking care of his autistic older brother his entire life. Gang-tae is an expert at hiding his own feelings and ignoring his emotions, so much so that other characters find his smile off-putting since it never reaches his eyes.

Gang-tae’s character arc revolves around him dealing with the resentment he holds for his mother for constantly relying on him to take care of Sang-tae from a young age. As the show progresses, viewers see Gang-tae get more and more in touch with emotions he’s buried within himself. Occupying himself with Sang-tae has caused Gang-tae to neglect himself and his own growth, and audiences experience his growing pains with him.

 

Sang-tae, Gang-tae’s older brother, is kind, honest and a brilliant artist. His love for his younger brother is incredibly endearing and clear. Their relationship is a heartwarming and enjoyable aspect of the show. Unlike other depictions of characters with autism, which display harmful stereotypes, Sang-tae is multifaceted. He has passions, forms relationships with the people in his life and wants to take care of his younger brother.

Sang-tae is able to develop as an individual through his love for art. The director of OK Psychiatric Hospital calls upon Sang-tae to create a mural for the psychiatric ward, giving him authority and free will over his own project. He is hired at a pizzeria to draw caricatures for customers. Moon-young hires him as an illustrator for her children’s books. Through these roles, Sang-tae is able to develop separately from his younger brother. Despite the show only being 12 episodes in, Sang-tae shows clear growth, leaving viewers anticipating how he continues to develop, especially taking into account his relationship with his younger brother.

 

Moon-young is a popular children’s book writer who does not believe in fairy tales. She is diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, a mental condition that is characterized by patterns of manipulating or exploiting others with no remorse, recklessness and more. She is often cold and uncaring and engages in dangerous behavior.

Moon-young’s storybooks, which delve into trauma with painful and blunt prose aimed at young children, allow viewers to relate to her characters and thus her reality too. Such depictions make Moon-young, who struggles with empathizing with others and being kind, more relatable and likable to audiences. The line between her pain and her characters’ pain is nonexistent, leaving readers deeply connected to her and her struggles. And as episodes continue to premiere, viewers are able to see how she learns to relate and empathize with those around her.

 

Most of “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” takes place in the OK Psychiatric Hospital, where Gang-tae works. Unlike most depictions of psychiatric wards, which show them as scary, dark and dreary places, the OK ward is cheerful and bright. Each hallway is lined with windows that offer a view of the ward’s yard filled with colorful flowers. The staff genuinely care about their patients, forming bonds with each of them. In a show with many heavy themes, the ward serves as a beacon of hope. It reminds viewers of the show’s title in a clear way, telling them “It’s okay to not be okay.”

 

Another setting of the show is Moon-young’s childhood home, a large estate with cobwebs in every corner and a dark shadow looming over it. The home serves as a metaphor for the trauma that Moon-young experienced within its walls. As she grows and is able to heal from her trauma, often through forming bonds with other characters, the house transforms. The dark and dreary halls soon become filled with light. Moon-young opens the doors to her heart and lets light in, both metaphorically and literally. What once represented hurt and heartache is a symbol of growth.

 

The charm of “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” lies in the intimate relationship viewers are able to have with the characters due to the way their traumas are reconstructed. Not only do viewers know who each character is as a person, but they come to understand why they are that way. The sharp focus on the theme of mental health, especially in a society where mental health is highly stigmatized, makes the show groundbreaking.

 

“It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” preaches its title impeccably. Each character, even the ones who appear to be completely indifferent and happy on the outside, is struggling in one way or another. And that’s okay.
