It’s okay, that’s love
If you’re a Korean movie lover, and you’ve not seen this series please add it to your top 5 to watch.
This series teaches a lot about the different aspects of love. It teaches understanding, forgiveness, compassion, strength. It also shed light on mental health. Whatever you think you know about Korean movie ends here, the plot keeps getting better which keeps you glued to your screen. Kudos to the writer Noh Hee-kyung
Jang Jae-Yeol is a mystery novel writer and a radio dj, he suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder due to traumatic past of watching his father being accidentally killed by his mom( we will get back to this).
Jang met ji hae soo who is a psychiatrist in her first year of fellowship when due to his recent book. Let’s just say the meeting didn’t end well as these two have strong personalities Jang is playful yet a bit arrogant and carefree while ji hea is a strong willed woman that sees Jang as unserious. Ji hea also suffers from child trauma of watching her mum cheat on her dad who suffers from paralysis.
The two couples accidentally lived in the same house with ji hea friends which consist of psychiatrists and a guy that suffers from Tourette syndrome. They soon develop chemistry for each other. As their relationship develops Jang helps ji hae get over her phobia of love while Jang is a schizophrenic, jang childhood traumatized him so much so that he always lives on edgw and takes risks, jang sleeps in the toilet of his apartment because that’s where he finds solitude.
The movie takes a turn when jang has to face his inner child and let go of the hurt. A lot about jang childhood unfolds, his hurt and how to deal with it.
The movie evolves around 5 friends and how they all found love, hurt, peace and happiness together.
I recommend this movie to all kdLovers, it’s a must watch you won’t regret, and I like the fact it teaches a lot about mental health and how love isn’t perfect.
