You make me live

For me, It's Okay, That's Love is one of the best melodrama that I have ever watched in Kdrama land. As most of us know, most of the Korean drama series revolve around sweet love story of a poor girl who has a whole load of aegyo falling in love with rich, handsome chaebol (most of the times; a spoilt brat). Such features are so common and even so, most people watch them because they love the idea of a happy ending in such an unrealistic love encounter between two people from an extreme opposite wealth status and background. Admit it, more often than not, we love watching these type of stories because we love to imagine and dream about how it will happen to us eventually. But well, in most cases, it won't happen to us.
However, this drama, even though it does feature a handsome and rich hero, this guy is no near to perfect. After a few episodes, we will come to our realisation that despite his so-called perfect life and smiles, this guy actually suffers from Schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder often characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to recognize what is real. I have read somewhere that someone who was suffering from this illness mentioned; "With schizophrenia, my thoughts can be like pieces of a mismatched jigsaw puzzle." The inability to differentiate what is real and what is not is undeniably frustrating and depressing to those who suffer from it. This in a way will affect their whole lives and those whom they love. Therefore, throughout this drama, it is intriguing to watch how the girl confronts this revelation and how the guy is going to face his illness.
To tell you honestly, watching this drama makes me feel both sad and happy. Sad to see how people often treat those who suffer from mental illnesses like they are similar to criminals and happy to see how this drama brings forward the idea that love, no matter what, is what helping people to understand, help and achieve what seemed impossible at first. If you need something different, please watch this drama.
