Her Character in 'IT'S OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY' Makes People Anxious, Here's Seo Ye Ji's Explanation

Kapanlagi.com - Seo Ye Ji portrays a unique character in her latest drama, IT'S OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY. This beautiful actress transforms into a children's book writer named Ko Mun Yeong. She is an anti-social woman with a cold appearance and heart.

IT'S OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY is a drama that tells an unusual story between Ko Mun Yeong and Gang Tae (played by Kim Soo Hyun), a mental health worker who doesn't even have time for love. Since its premiere on Saturday (20/06), the story of Ko Mun Yeong and Gang Tae has successfully made viewers even more curious.

1. Different Perspectives

In an interview with Netflix, Seo Ye Ji explained that the character she played also has a different perspective than most people. Despite working as a children's book writer, Ko Mun Yeong sees fairy tales as something negative.

"Generally, fairy tales are positive stories that give dreams and hopes to children. Ko Mun Yeong sees fairy tales as something cruel, bad, and grounded in the real world. When you step into the real world, you will only feel pain. For example, when Ko Mun Yeong says, 'If you don't want to get hurt, you have to talk behind people's backs,' I think it depicts the darkness of a unique fairy tale for Mun Yeong," said the 30-year-old woman.

2. Audience's Patience is Required

Seo Ye Ji admitted that initially, Ko Mun Yeong tends to be negative and irritating. However, Seo Ye Ji assures viewers that this character has a charm that will be revealed as time goes on.

"Audiences may not like Mun Yeong's character at first. She only thinks about herself and is very selfish. I was worried about this side of her, but Mun Yeong slowly manages to improve her empathy when she listens to Gang Tae's words. She starts to sympathize and heal. I believe the audience will anticipate this process and start seeing her positive side," she said.
