It's Okay to Not Be Okay

A relative of one of the protagonists is the suspected mastermind of a killing of the other protagonist's relative. Both are beloved relatives of the protagonists and their killings and/or disappearances caused a lot of mental trauma.
A couple has to reveal a killer and deal with the concequesnces of that reveal.. as it might.. prevent it from being together.

Both heroes have an accident that appeared while they were growing up that shaped them for whom they are. Both lost a family member and have another one not in their right mind.
In both they are in love with the heroine, but have to face the decision of loving the child of the person, responsible for his parent's death.

Dead parents, autistic sibling cared by the normal sibling, found family trope, autistic brothers wear similar fashion and work in arts

The mood of these dramas is the same. In TSHLYE it's the male lead with the questionable character though.

similar theme of eeriness and eccentric writer and whose career is getting shackled due to personal problems

The both drama have romance????

Its okay not to be okay has creepy things .
Here in memorist dong baek with power's . the slangs too . and they two deserve these

- Both dramas have unique energies that make them addictive.
- Both FL's have rare personalities. I wouldn't say they behave similarly, but they are uncommon compared to other kdrama female leads.
- Appreciation for the arts in both dramas.
- Elegant aesthetics in both.
- All rich leads, excluding the ML fro IOTNBO.
- They also share actress Park Gyu Young

Notable differences:
- It's Okay to Not be Okay has a immature FL and mature ML. It is the opposite for Dali and the Cocky Prince.
- Dali and the Cocky Prince is the lighter drama. It's Okay to Not be Okay has darker, psychological aspects to it.

both dramas feature two men with a mentally impaired.
__________________________________________________________

these dramas both have similar themes to each other
trauma, family and friendship to name the main points
both balance the heaviness of the subject matter with breaks of light-heartedness (more so in IOTNBO) and humour.

Both shows have a dark fairytale vibe. It’s Okay is a bit more emotional and deals with mental health issues. The comedy is also a little darker and there’s no real magic in It’s Okay. The romance is pretty central in both surrounded by the slow reveal of the leads’ past.

TOTALLY RECOMMEND!!!
Mental? Psycho? Try growing up with a bunch of disturbing parent with a killer instinct. Award winning movies, a list senior actors + yeojingoo that should be enough to keep u interested.

Short story but it's totally worth it. A story of a two bff badass woman with common story as friend become distant because of a mistake but met again after 5 years. Sounds lame? Wait till you see it. The production & chemistry of all character is perfect. I would totally watch it even if its full 24 episode. All the music totally drawn you into the story. A bar, cocktail, perfume, music is a complete set. Even Hani is a rookie actress, she totally have talent for acting, I'm fangirling

Both are slow-burn, emotional romances with intense chemistry, heart-fluttering moments, and characters who grow and heal through love.

if anyone wants to see Seo Ye Ji in a more "normal" yet still strong, independent and fashionable role after It's Okay to Not Be Okay then they should try Quantum Physics
