Tudo Bem Não Ser Normal (2020)

A bit boring in the opening but after a while it got very interesting and WILL KEEP YOU HOOKED.

“The first step is always the hardest. But once you take the first step, things will get easier from then on.”

I haven't seen enough k-dramas that talk about mental illness's like this. They focus on one illness; depression but this drama tells there's more to mental illness than depression.
In the start, I liked it but after the third episode I started to feel like it was really boring but as I moved on; I loved it. And it teaches a lot of lesson too such as the struggles children face with possessive parents and how parents can neglect a child without realizing it.
The cast and acting was so amazing ,I fell for Oh Jung Se and his acting. IT WAS AMAZING.
And Ko Moon Young + Gang Tae's chemistry was off the top awesome.

SPOILER ALERT!!
The only thing I disliked was the story of Moon Young's mum was a bit unrealistic. Even if she had so many surgeries, there's no way that she lived for 2 decades on no one knew who she was.

WOOOOOW
Definitely became one of my favourite ever
finally I found something that worth watching with a great epilogue

This drama was soooooo emotional
I enjoyed every second watching it
I even dreamt with many times 😂😂 LOL

The plot was great
The story was solid
It had it all
Comic , drama, romance, anger, villains, psycho issues and how to deal with
But as usual
It's always Mother's fault 💔😂

I only hated the ML acting a little bit, I think he should work more on his facial expressions
The FL was extremely amazing

Jung se was brilliant in his role
And the head Dr was amazing I loved him

I liked that the main leads were clinging to each other and decided to cross anything together

This drama had no cheap repeated cliches

The romance was brilliant and it was in its place really
I had butterflies many many times

The only thing I wished was to see the mother got a proper punishment not just being jailed

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

A perfect balance entertainment of romance, crime/mystery, family drama, comedy.

A perfect balance entertainment of romance, crime/mystery, family drama, comedy.

A well casted show, from the lead cast to the supporting characters.. The plot of the story started as if it was like any other kind of RomCom. In this one, girl meets boy and liked him on the spot. Pursued and annoyed him relentlessly until they became friends.

Both of them, bruised and battered by the past but together they've overcome every obstacles, doubts, fears and insecurities.

It was heart warming too see the relationship between the brothers, the relationship between mother and daughter, even the friendships around the ML and FL. The side stories of the supporting characters were well written, it didn't feel like a bunch of unsubstantial stories pierced together just to create a bigger picture. This one is really worth watching..

I love it!

It was one of the very first dramas I watched, left a pretty good impression on me (I finished this show about 1 year ago but I recently found out about this app)

I tend to drop shows if they don't interest me between the first 3 episodes, but this one was different, it was interesting since the start

I really loved how the relationship between the FL And the ML (including the brother) developed through out the series, I believe Moonyoung and Sangtae's sibling-like relationship made the drama better

Although I would say Moonyoung sometimes would make me cringe (ex: when whe m0aned in the mental hospital) or when she would touch his abs without Gangtae's permission🤨, i think that is the only bad thing about the show (for ME)

I would've liked if they showed more about Moonyoung's mom transformation, I believe it would have been awesome if the showed how she managed to even work at the hospital!!

This drama deserves 10/10, so good and I recommed everyone who just started watching kdramas to watch this as one of their first's,it made such an impact on me and made me want to discover more about the Kdrama world.

Thank you IONTBO❤️‍🩹

a very sweet and relatable show

I have an older brother who is similar to sang-tae from this show. I actually identified with gang-tae this show so, so much. For this reason, I am very greatful this show was made. It brings awareness to a unique family dynamic and the struggles of not only combating mental health issues but also being a caregiver. However, it seems the show hit too close to home and that's why the ending left me dissatisfied. It felt like gang-tae was relinquishing one responsibility for another.
I come back here because I recently watched Twinkling Watermelon, which reminded me of this show. It is great to see such amazing kdramas handle disabilities and mental health so well. Oh Jung Se acted incredibly and I believe this is his best work.

little prince

I remember how much I enjoyed watching the series when it was broadcast.
Although there was some ambiguity about the mother of the main female character, but it had a beautiful and attractive story and script.
I must say about the acting, they were great. The main roles played the characters that were defined for them in the best way.
I feel that the author of the series was inspired by the story of "The Little Prince". In the sense that he mixed deep emotional issues with stories with a juvenile and almost childish tone.
All in all, a series with a special and beautiful story and script in the form of an atmosphere with a bit of a magical feeling along with awesome OSTs

Amazing story which deserves more attention

I am writing this after watching many many kdramas and I could say that there are dramas that you either enjoy watching or you don’t. And then there are dramas like this that manage to impact you and last long in your heart.

Honestly, this is my first kdrama I ever watched because my sister introduced me to it( I watched winter sonata but it was an anime and last episode was real tv, so it doesn't count) IOTNBO has made me feel many things that time and I can’t believe how it impacted me at that time .
I think i agree to KSHLOVE summary about this drama and agree to it .

This drama might be either something you love or you don’t. We all have different stories. But what I’m really sure of is that this drama will always have a special place in my heart. :’)

Not what I was expecting, but some great acting!

I saw some clips on Youtube and thought I knew what this show was going to be like, and I was wrong, well partly wrong.

Ko Moon Young is such a unique character, and if she wasn't so incredibly beautiful, it would be too, too easy to dislike her. She has such long beautiful hair, and beautiful eyes, and I think her waist actually got smaller near the end of the series, it was so tiny! She was always dressed really well. Ko Moon Young can act though, and go from no emotion, to great emotion.

Moon Gang Tae was basically the male version of Ko Moon Young. Wow, can he act! The guy could go from a face like a statue, to so emotional, that you could feel it.

Moon Sang Tae plays a character with Autism, and does such a great job of it. I thought he really had it. I really didn't care for the character in the beginning, and I think they meant for you not to really like him that much, but by the end, that changes.

I swear, I think everyone in the show can smile better than just about anyone else. Talk about changing the way someone looks with a smile. Just unreal!!!

This is a serious show. The focus is on the mind. The majority of it is with characters from a mental hospital. Every character has a interesting personality. The caregivers have the patience of Saints!

Pretty much every character has some serious mental baggage to deal with, and that's all the main characters as well.

There are many funny moments, but some very intense moments, and many moments that have you thinking. It's pretty deep, and they are really good at making characters. If you like reading between the lines, you can do it here, because they are that good with the acting.

If you're looking for a show that doesn't require tissues, then this one isn't for you.

It's quite a interesting show, but it might not be for everyone. This isn't fluff, this is a pretty serious story being told.

Would I rewatch it, maybe, a good way into the future. Just to see Ko Moon Young I might do it. :)

Multiple great messages learned from watching this masterpiece

Story- The overall story was absolutely amazing! The story explaining how Ko moon Young and Moon Gang Tae first met draws you in and creates a good pathway for the romantic plot of their story to keep progressing. Gang Tae and Sang Taeś story is something that can make a grown man come to tears. Gang Tae has to grow up fast and takeover the older brother role, which really makes the watchers relate and feel for Gang Tae as a character. While some may find it hard to feel for Sang Tae at the start, there is no possibility but to come to love his character as the story progresses. Some people may say that Ko Moon Young needed to ¨face her problems¨, I find that her living together with Sang Tae and Gang Tae was a sort of therapy for her. There cohabilitation was a cure for her loneliness and was a learning experience for her outbursts.

Cast- Seo Yea Ji was a perfect fit for Ko Moon Young. Her facial structure really emphazed Ko Moon Youngs emotions and she fit the ¨I always get what I want¨ type very well, I dont think the show would have been the same without her as Ko Moon Young. Oh Jung Se deserves an award for his acting as Sang Tae. I almost believed that the actor was actually on the Autism spectrum because I thought he played his role so well (I have never personally seen someone with autism, nor will I claim to). Kim Soo hyun played the role of a big brother very well. His acting when he tried hiding his anger and when he was actually angry felt so real, and his chemistry with Seo Yea Ji was great!

Music- I have watched many dramas with absolutely terrible music. Many dramas seemed like they were using the same song as all the other popular dramas and the music fade would always be terrible. But the music in this show was refreshing and original. The music fade was great especially during the ¨I said I love you¨ scenes.

Personal opinion- Though Moon Young played her way into Sang Tae and Gang Tae´s life, Gang Tae wanted to be with her, and Sang Tae obviously felt the need to help her. Sang Tae made his choice to be with her knowning her intentions, (having him) which she made eztremely clear from the start of the show. If I did have one problem with this drama it would be how anticlimatic Ko Moon Youngs mothers story was at the end.

Life influencing !!

This is a masterpiece in itself !

The title is enough to understand the theme , and it really sticks to the theme ! The lead characters all have some or the other mental traumas , which they are fighting against and they either conquer their fears or accept themselves the way they are ! Acting is specially amazing and story is heart rendering , very different from the cliched k-dramas !

Special mentions are set yeaji and oh jungse ! Their fights over KSH were hilarious as well as emotional at the same time ! One can sympathise with both characters, even when they would annoy you at sometimes !
Now this is an idea of strong FL ! The strong FL doesn't means always the kind hearted and self righteous or bubbly poor girl , like in most dramas!! Here the FL is psychotic , close to getting insane , but she still manages to get over it , with the help of ML. She understands her flaws and accepts them and doesn't expect the world to acknowledge her ! Cries her heart out but doesn't goes in self-pity and specially doesn't comes up with the stupid pride !

Great drama!

Definitely one of the best Korean dramas I watched, to date. Such impressive storytelling and originality in it, great production and the performances of the actors (mainly the three mains), as I grew to love many of the characters. The chemistry between the main couple is very, very good as well. The portrayal of autistic artist, brother, friend... was beautiful. I liked that it was a great mix of drama, romance, and some comedy. I would find small things that I did not all that much, but that doesn't affect my review. Rewatched it two times and I think I will watch it again quite soon. Reccomend.

Meu dorama favorito

Resolvi reassistir a série toda esta semana e parecia que eu tinha voltado para 2020 quando assisti pela primeira vez. Isso porque fiquei viciada, não conseguia parar de assistir e a cada cena meu coração reagia como se estivesse vendo pela primeira vez. Dito isso, precisa ser dito o quanto essa série é boa, você torce por todos os personagens, ri, chora, surta, quer tacar o celular na parede; a evolução de cada personagem individualmente e uns com os outros é linda! Eles não perdem a essência em momento algum, mas é perceptível como estão tentando ser melhores... Sigo dizendo que este é o melhor dorama já feito!

Personagens profundos e cheios de traumas não resolvidos

Porém nem tudo é perfeito, a história infelizmente tem pontas soltas e coisas que apenas não fazem sentido. Por exemplo: Como dois meninos menores de idade sobreviveram perfeitamente bem sozinhos? Onde eles moraram, como compraram comida, água? Gang-tae diz nunca ter estudado, mas como RAIOS ele é cuidador em hospitais psiquiátricos? Moon Young, meu amor, minha bela, como você sobreviveu todos estes anos sozinha? Você comia, ia para a escola?

O mais importante de tudo: como ninguém reconheceu a mãe da Moon Young? Ta que ela fez diversas cirurgias plásticas, mas e a voz? Enfim...

Só estou falando tudo isso para ressaltar como uma obra, mas com pontas soltas e coisas sem sentido, pode ser MUITO boa e a preferida de muitas pessoas <3
