Korean Drama Review: "It's Ok, This is Love"

Korean Drama Review:

"It's Okay, This is Love"

"Free yourself from the cage you've created. Live in the present and break off the chains of the past."
 

Sometimes life gives you painful memories and experiences that makes it hard for you to form relationships and bonds with other people. Those memories make you scared and doubtful of the people who are trying to bring down your walls. For those scared people who are like this, just remember that don't chase away the good times that were supposedly to come into your life just because you were so caught up and locked up with the painful memories. Someday, somewhere out there you are going to find someone whose past wouldn't matter to you and who you are determined to bring down his or her walls because no matter who or what his/her past is, for you, it's okay because that is love.

Plot:

 Jang Jae-Yeol is a mystery writer and radio DJ. He suffers from a obsession. Ji Hae-Soo is going through her first year fellowship in psychiatry at a University Hospital. She chose psychiatry because she doesn't want to perform surgeries. After she meets Jang Jae-Yeol, her life goes through big changes. 

Review:

When this drama was not airing yet, I thought that this would be a boring one but I realized that I was definitely wrong about my previous thought when I viewed the first episode which to my surprise was definitely worth my time to watch. First and foremost, I love this drama because of the casts who showcased their great acting skills that really captures your attention and makes you appreciate or sympathize with their character. 

In addition to that, I love the "vibe" of this drama, it gives off a warm, playful and easy-going vibe but tells a story much deeper than that. It's like telling the viewers that despite the sadness and traumatic experiences that traps the characters, it's okay because someone out there will help you heal those wounds, it may be a family member, a friend, a lover, a doctor or it may simply be forgiveness itself. 

Every episode of this drama makes you really crazy and you know that you just need to watch more of it and uncover the mysteries. This drama has great cliff hangers that would bug you for the rest of the week, making you curious that you can't get it off your mind - that was an exaggeration. This drama also has a great plot twist, one that you would not expect but of course, I will avoid spoiling you just know that Jang Jae-Yeol has a deeper wound than you can imagine and that you shouldn't be too sure of who killed the stepfather. If you're really curious, then you should watch it.

The chemistry between the two lead actors are just so undeniable and they look so good and so sweet together. Every time they bring their walls down to each other, exposing their weaknesses, sparks just appear around them. Lastly, in this drama you certainly can learn a lot especially about valuing the people around you like your family and learning to let go of the painful experiences that seems to trap you in a cage so that you will stop giving yourself a hard time by holding on to harmful emotions like anger, hurt and regret.
