Our favourite Seo Yea-ji fashion moments in K-drama It's Okay To Not Be Okay


As most of us are stuck home due to Covid-19, we’re always on the lookout for the next Korean drama to binge-watch.

This year alone, we had big hits with Crash Landing On You, Itaewon Class, The World Of The Married and the recently concluded The King: Eternal Monarch that starred Goblin’s Kim Go-eun and Lee Min-ho.

Our latest obsession? Romantic comedy It’s Okay To Not Be Okay starring Kim Soo-hyun and Seo Yea-ji that is currently airing in South Korea and on Netflix.

The show follows the lives of a psychiatric ward nurse (Kim) and a famous children’s book author (Seo) and the relationship between the two as they heal each other’s emotional traumas.

Besides the unique plotline and unconventional cinematography, Seo’s fashion is another reason to stay glued to the series. Keep reading to find out why we’re totally obsessed with her style.
