Child actors Kim Soo-In and Moon Woo Jin gave life to the younger versions of Moon Kang Tae (Kim Soo Hyun) and Ko Moon Young (Seo Ye Ji) in "It's Okay To Not Be Okay." They made a strong impression on their performance.
The latest episode of the K-drama series showed the life of Kim Soo Hyun and Seo Ye Ji with their respective families. It wasn't a happy and well-lived life as what they experienced pain from their parents. Kang Tae cannot forget how Moon Young saved his life when he was drowning. Since that day, they marked a place in their heart the face that gives light to their lonely childhood.
The young Kang Tae (Moon Woo Jin) felt a huge responsibility that his late mother conditioned him: to take care of his brother. There was less affection that he got from his mother, which gave him a feeling of self-pity and low self-esteem.
His brother Sang Tae, who has ASD or Autism Spectrum Disorder, is a huge fan of Moon Young's work. Growing up, all that matters is the safety and care that they give to Sang Tae. He is left with no choice to support and give unconditional love to him.
Moon Woo Jin played the younger Kang Tae
He is managed by T1 Entertainment, together with other child actors Jeon Jin Seo of "The World of the Married," and Jung Hyeon Jun, who played the younger version of Lee Min Ho in "The King: Eternal Monarch."
Moon Woo Jin is known as a famous child actor in South Korea. He played the younger versions of popular actors like Park Seo Joon ("What's Wrong with Secretary Kim"), Cha Eun Woo ("Gangnam Beauty"), and Seo Kang Joon ("Watcher").
His acting performance as the young Kim Soo Hyun in "It's Okay To Not Be Okay" is heart-wrenching. In his simple way and small moments, he gives a connection of the past to the present.
He is also a ballerino, and in five years from his debut in 2016 up to the present, he has appeared in more than 20 characters in dramas and films. He will appear in the upcoming "Train To Busan" movie sequel, "Peninsula".
Kim Soo-In played a younger Ko Moon Young
At a young age, she was already featured 12 K-dramas and one film. Soo-In's big break is in her role as a younger version of Shin Ye Eun in "He Is Psychometric." She also joined the cast of "A Piece Of Your Mind."
Her performance and expressive eyes in "It's Okay To Not Be Okay" gave the persona of an aloof and cold-hearted child - the behavior of a low-spirited and having a sad childhood made a strong impression. She connected the emotions from the past to present.
Growing up, she was conditioned by her mother that her life revolves only inside the castle, that meeting anyone outside is forbidden and no one deserves to be a part of her world.
