a thread of meaningful scenes from #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay

#PsychoButItsOkay

This foreshadowing from the very first episode. After watching this, I knew there was no backing out from this drama.

How MY went back to the hospital to personally give the Go-eun a book with her signature and the message, "Never forget today."

Why? Because only those who remember their painful memories can be emotionally flexible and attain happiness.

"He's just not well."

The struggle in the society, clearly stated by a child. Where do you draw the line?

KT's awareness of MY's condition. I don't think he knows the exact diagnosis, but it shows that there are no reversal of tropes or power struggle because he is trying to be as understanding and patient as he can be.

Zombie kids and the warmth they are longing for. It took them a long time, but they are getting there.

when moon kang-tae becomes more than an obsession

#ItsOkayToNotBeOkay

Kang-tae is often out of the house. It is Sang-tae whom Moon-young spends most of her days with.

She really misses her best friend :((

Given the development of their relationship, if she shouted "I love you”, Kang-tae would have stayed.

But she didn't.

Twice, she let him walk away.

WHEW :( sad

An underrated but important development.

Over time, she learned not to simply barge in Sang-tae's room. And how she acknowledges that he is his own person.

In episode 4, she wanted to hear only Kang-tae's voice

But in episode 9 (and as her obsession dwindled down), she willingly listened to music, and smiled wider when Kang-tae turned the volume up.

:(

MY still loves her dad. She would rather "kill" her father, than remember him as the man who tried to murder her. That's why she folds his picture, rather than tear it off.

She still longs for him to recognize her.

I hope my tear ducts are ready by then.

in which there are countless of times when KT asked her to get lost, and there is that one instance where he asked her to stay.

It's difficult to imagine the reality of people with mental health problems/developmental disorders.

But this show unapologetically portrays them, and tries to bridge that gap, so we can extend the empathy that these people need it most.

What's a best friend?

Someone who understands us even better than we can ever understand ourselves.

That one person who, despite knowing all our flaws and imperfections, chooses to be with us.

MY may not be able to empathize the way others can, but her effort to read the facial expression, body language, and tone speaks volume about character development.

She has that look, and it's so amazing how #seoyeji can stay consistent throughout the show.

I like Juri's backstory and how realistic it is.

A lot of people see her as "fake". In reality, it is also just a shield that she uses because she was conditioned to be strong.

You don't need to like her, but please try to empathize.
