WHAT A JOURNEY IT HAS BEEN

First of all, i just lượt thích đồ sộ say that this Series is not for everyone. I know everyone has different tastes especially in dramas. Aside from being a HUMAN HEALING DRAMA, this show is a character driven kind of drama. You have đồ sộ immerse yourself in the drama đồ sộ fully understand and go through the process of healing while watching the show.

STORY - I really love the story. It's unique and refreshing how the writer used many fairy tale and folk tales references and combined all those stories into one. It's so sánh brilliant.

ACTING - Now let's talk about the performances for the Actors.

Immediately after watching episode 1, you will be amazed already of Oh Jung Seng's performance. It really is a role of a lifetime. He is so sánh effective as Moon Sang Tae. I cry on most of his scenes with Gang Tae. He exceeded everyone's expectations and he will definitely get many awards from this show.

Seo Ye Ji's role is also very challenging. She is phenomenal as Moon Young. I cannot think of anyone who can tự this role as perfect as her.

Supporting Roles from the younger casts, CEO, Juri, SEung Jae, Jaesu, Director, the OK staff and patients. Everyone had amazing perfomances.

Now for my bias, Kim Soo Hyun.... I have đồ sộ be honest, as a người yêu thích of KSH, i really did not understand at first why he chose this project. Maybe i was used đồ sộ A list actors đồ sộ work with more known and award winning directors and writers. After his last drama The Producers in năm ngoái and military enlistment in 2017, i was really waiting for his comeback and has high expectations on the first project he'll work on. THANK GOD, he chose It's Okay đồ sộ Not Be Okay. He really took time in reading many scripts and he really wants đồ sộ challenge himself. His role is not as flashy or flamboyant as Moon Young and Sang Tae.... What makes his performance a stand out was the fact that his character wasn't a stand out. SYJ and OJS, being such amazing actors themselves could have easily stole the limelight from KSH. Moon Gang Tae's character was less explosive and more contemplative. His role is very deep and requires consistency. Many of his emotions must be conveyed using his eyes alone. and he did it perfectly. His crying scenes have different emotions and meanings especially his breakdown scene on episode 9. It felt lượt thích he poured his heart and soul on that scene and the audience felt it. The fact that KSH was able đồ sộ get rave reviews for his performance both internationally and locally, and many people became a huge người yêu thích of Moon Gang Tae's character.... and lastly, that KSH was able đồ sộ showcase such amazing and brilliant acting range for a role that's quite a challenge... that's really IMPRESSIVE and not all actors would be able đồ sộ accomplish that.. I'm just happy that KSH is a risk taker and took this risk and not doing the usual OPPA dramas.

CINEMATOGRAPHY/MUSICAL SCORING/EDITING -
We have đồ sộ commend the cinematographer of this show. WOW. just WOW! the camera shots are so sánh perfect. i love how the cinematographer used different techniques. It was so sánh effective. Same as the editing. I love the transitions from one scene đồ sộ another. Not just the cool transitions but just the regular transitions where musical scoring is used đồ sộ properly connect one scene from another.

OVERALL - this show will be one of my all time favorites. I have đồ sộ admit that i expected more from the mother's plot. maybe because i watch too many crime dramas and i wanted more explanation how the mother survived or what really happened. I guess i overthought and had watched too many theory videos that i forgot what the show was all about. Thank you đồ sộ the Finale episode"FINDING THE REAL FACE". My take on the mother's plot is very simple. The mother survived and whatever stories we saw from the father's POV and MY's are not really accurate since the father had brain injury and even had major surgery for that, and MY was too young and grew with too much trauma đồ sộ remember everything and just remembered the trauma she experienced during her childhood. Once the "Finding the Real Face" story was told, everything made sense đồ sộ bủ that this drama is not about MY's mother. It's about the journey of Moon Young, Sang Tae and Gang Tae. From episode 1 đồ sộ 16 we saw their character developments and how they were healed in the process of knowing each other. There might be an evil witch who took their real faces, but lượt thích in any fairy tale, there will always be a happy ending.

Reading this definitely gave bủ some closure on the mother mystery :

I have đồ sộ say that this drama has one of the best finales and most satisfying endings I've ever watched. I don't know how many times i cried watching all episodes but one thing is for sure , i learned so sánh much from this drama. I immersed myself in the show and this show really healed bủ đồ sộ overcome some of the trauma and regrets i have in my life. The title itself is such a meaningful and powerful phrase that "It's Okay đồ sộ Not Be Okay". Here are some of the lessons i learned from this drama.

- Family is Beyond Blood Relations
- Fight for your Happiness
- Don't Make Rash Decisions
- Don't Judge a book by its cover
- Confront your Trauma
- Remember Good Memories
- Speak Up for Yourself
- Reach Out for Help
- It's Better đồ sộ Kiss than vãn Fight

"When you're tired get some rest. When your sad, go ahead and cry. It's okay đồ sộ tự that."

Damn, there so sánh many life learning quotes in this show. Watching this while on air is the best decision i made this year. Usually i will wait for a show đồ sộ be completed before i binge watch but i made an exception for IOTNBO. I really invested too much in this drama. I'm happy đồ sộ be one of the active posters in IOTNBO page and one of the users who broke records of having 16k+++ comments on the 16th episode. Most of all, i'm very grateful for this show because i met many friends who will be my forever MDL friends!
