"It's Okay To Not Be Okay" is based on Moon Kang Tae, who works at a psychiatric ward and Go Moon Young, an introvert with an antisocial personality disorder. She is also a famous writer of children's books.
Moon Kang Tae (Kim Soo Hyun), in a psychiatric ward, jots down the patients' conditions to be able to face and deal with some unexpected events. For example, if the patients fight or if they run away from the ward. He only earns about KRW 1.8 million (USD 1,600) a month.
On the other hand, Go Moon Young (Seo Ye Ji) well-known children's book writer with an extremely selfish, arrogant, and rude personality. Eventually, they meet and change each other's lives.
All the fans are looking forward to the sizzling chemistry between these two leads of the drama. All those released trailers and teasers are all so promising to give us a rebellious, spooky love story that instantly intrigued viewers.
During the press conference, Kim Soo Hyun was asked about his experience working with Seo Ye Ji. He responded, saying that normally, they feel very comfortable working with each other. But when she's acting in front of the camera, it's like the character of Go Moon Young comes out instantly, and he gets goosebumps because of it. He was greatly motivated by her acting since she receives energy from her in that way.
Seo Ye Ji agreed to Kim Soo Hyun's statement, adding that they are very comfortable working together, but when Kim Soo Hyun starts acting in front of the camera, he incredibly gets focused on his character.
