Our take on It's Okay to Not Be Okay
This acclaimed K-drama pairs a psychiatric-ward caregiver burdened by responsibility with a prickly children's author, as two wounded people slowly heal each other. Beautifully shot, emotionally rich and compassionate about mental health, it became a beloved hit. If its tender romance and emotional honesty moved you, seek out Korean dramas about trauma, healing and the unlikely bonds that put broken people back together.
