In this drama, there is a naive and sweet female character like in typical Korean dramas. In IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY, there is also the character Ko Mun Young (Seo Ye Ji). As someone who tends to be antisocial and lacks empathy, it may be difficult to fall in love with this character at first.

However, as the story progresses, the audience will be able to see another side of this character who is very honest and dislikes making assumptions. As a sharp knife enthusiast, Mun Young is a brave figure who is ready to fight against evil people. Slowly, the audience will open up to this female character, especially when she starts to improve herself and break down her defenses.

3. Story About Autism Spectrum
