It's Okay to Not Be Okay

2020 16 episodes tvN Romance Drama Psychological Netflix Viki

Moon Gang-tae has spent his entire adult life as a caretaker — literally, at a psychiatric hospital where he keeps his autistic brother safe and cared for, and figuratively, burying his own needs so completely he's forgotten they exist. Ko Moon-young is a bestselling children's book author with antisocial personality disorder, a castle full of secrets, and the most inconvenient interest in Gang-tae imaginable. Together with his brother Sang-tae, who loves her fairytale illustrations with uncomplicated joy, three broken people begin building something that looks suspicious like healing. A drama that takes mental health seriously while being genuinely funny, visually stunning, and emotionally brave.
