[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] The tvN weekend drama 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay' opened the door to a "somewhat strange romantic comedy about love" by recording an average nationwide household viewership rating of 6.1%.

First aired on the 20th, 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay' depicts the clash between Kim Soo-hyun (played by Moon Kang-tae), a psychiatric ward caregiver living a tough life without dreams or hope, and Seo Ye-ji (played by Ko Moon-young), a children's book author with antisocial personality traits.

On that day, Seo Ye-ji, who visited the ward for a children's book reading event, left the words "If you appear in front of me when I need you, that is fate" during her meeting with Kim Soo-hyun and then disappeared.

Afterwards, a patient escaped from the ward, causing the reading event to be halted, and Seo Ye-ji discovered that the patient was attempting an extreme act with his young daughter.

Then, an uncontrollable patient lunged at Seo Ye-ji and strangled her.

Seeing this, Kim Soo-hyun rushed to Seo Ye-ji, who was being strangled, and resolved the situation.

After the commotion, Kim Soo-hyun forgot the promise to get Seo Ye-ji's autograph for his autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) brother Oh Jung-se (playing Moon Sang-tae).

He then attempted to forge the autograph with his friend Kang Ki-doo (played by Jo Jae-soo), but was caught immediately, causing laughter.

Meanwhile, the performances of publishing company CEO Kim Joo-heon (played by Lee Sang-in) and employee Park Jin-joo (played by Yoo Seung-jae), who were overwhelmed by Seo Ye-ji's aura, also brought humor.

When nurse Park Gyu-young (playing Nam Joo-i) from the "Okay Psychiatric Hospital" visited Seo Ye-ji to obtain consent for her hospitalized father's surgery, the tension between the two attracted attention.
