The story, without the spoilers.
Moon Gang-tae works as a caregiver in a psychiatric hospital and has spent his life looking after his older brother Sang-tae, who is autistic and loves dinosaurs. Gang-tae has learned to hide his own feelings so well that he barely knows what he wants. Then he meets Ko Moon-young, a famous children's book writer whose stories are dark, beautiful and brutally honest. She says what others will not say, wants what she wants without apology, and refuses to be pitied or fixed. As the three of them cross paths again and again, old wounds from their childhoods come back into the light. It's Okay to Not Be Okay is visually stunning, with fairy-tale imagery, striking costumes and a story that treats trauma with unusual directness. It argues that healing is not about becoming normal, but about being allowed to feel angry, afraid and loved at the same time. The romance is intense, the brother's story is the emotional centre, and the ending earns its hope.
A little curiosity. A new favourite.
