It's Okay to Not Be Okay
사이코지만 괜찮아Checked and re-read
Gorgeous, deliberately theatrical, and noticeably longer than its story. The fairytale framing and the production design are the point, and the two leads plus the brother make one of the best written trios in the genre. Then it loses its nerve and swaps the psychiatric ward material for a thriller strand that adds nothing. Heavy going in the middle and genuinely restorative by the end. Worth it if you want a drama about caretaking rather than a romance.
Desperate to escape from his emotional baggage and the heavy responsibility he’s had all his life, a psychiatric ward worker begins to heal with help from the unexpected – a woman who writes fairy tales but doesn’t believe in them.
Slow start Episode 3, when the brothers' history starts opening up.
