Eps 1 & 2

Gang Tae works for a psychiatric hospital. His older brother, Sang Tae, is autistic. Gang Tae, Sang Tae and Gang Tae's friend Jae Su move from place to place every year. Mun Yeong is a children's book author with antisocial personality disorder. Gang Tae and Mun Yeong meet when she goes to do a book reading at his hospital. They're instantly drawn to each other. Mun Yeong reminds Gang Tae of a girl he used to know when he was a little boy and has bad memories of. Gang Tae doesn't know Mun Yeong is that same girl. Gang Tae moves back to his hometown and Mun Yeong follows him there.

-----------------------------------

This series deals with mental health. It's somewhat dark with a fairy tale spin on it. Due to the subject, the short summaries I usually do aren't likely do it justice. For that reason, this will probably be my only post while the series airs. I'll post my final thoughts when it ends.

It's OK to Not Be OK deals a lot with mental health. More than the love story, I liked the relationship between the brothers. Good performances by Kim Soo Hyun, Seo Ye Ji and Oh Jung Se. I really liked the OST.

I am almost finished with this drama and I really loved it. The level of acting and writing was amazing. The actor who played Sang Tae was beautiful. I really would recommend this.
