Week in Review (Aug 23 – 29, 2020)

What have I been doing this week? I’m glad you asked! Here’s what’s been on my watchlist this week:

TV

It’s Okay to Not Be Okay (2020) – Ep 1-5

I’m really liking the dark look of It’s Okay to Not Be Okay. But at the same time it’s so beautiful. The directing and the styling of this show is blowing me away, and it is only being enhanced by the incredible performances by the three lead actors. 

The Moon brothers relationship is so co-dependent, and Ko Moon-yeong is the perfect wrench to throw into their carefully curated lives. She mixes things up just by being around them, and when she actively pursues Gang-tae, it forces him to think about what he wants out of life too, outside of his job or caring for his brother.

I’m looking forward to seeing where the drama goes now that Moon-yeong has lured Sang-tae into her web (not that it took much to convince him). I hope they keep up the pace of the show, and that the characters continue on the trajectory Writer Jo Yong has set up so far.
