It’s Okay, it’s dance time
by girlfriday
Uhhhhhh, this show knows it’s a melodrama, right? Either the early plot descriptions had it all wrong, or Show’s having an identity crisis, because judging by the random dance-time teasers, you’d have no way of knowing that It’s Okay, It’s Love isn’t a rom-com. It’s actually so jarring I don’t know how to process it — do you suppose Noh Hee-kyung and Kim Kyu-tae got lobotomies, or were the execs at SBS like, Hey, those fun guys over at tvN make those hip new teasers where people dance, and nobody knows why, but everyone loves it! We can do that too!
The teasers themselves are cute, in that watching Gong Hyo-jin and Jo In-sung dance (even badly) is super endearing. It’s just so hilariously wrong for a drama about psychological disorders, at least on paper. Who knows, maybe it’ll be a FUN drama about psychological disorders, and I’m being unimaginative about the possibilities. As for teasing the drama itself, they’re pretty much the opposite of informative (not that tvN’s teasers fare any better on the relevance front, technically speaking), so it’s anybody’s guess what the actual tone of the show will be.
Gong Hyo-jin is recovering after surgery for her broken arm from her recent car accident, and is scheduled to join the crew in Okinawa for overseas shoots this week. There aren’t any other expected delays in production, so It’s Okay, It’s Love is on schedule to follow You’re All Surrounded and premiere on July 23.
Witness the dancing, and the indescribably crazy pants, below:

Agreed, the second outfit for JIS is also not becoming on him, well, IMHO at least. His first outfit makes me hear Karma Chameleon in my head....

I think this show is supposed to have a dash of rom-com element in it. I'm still confused what's the real genre of this drama lol. Either way, I'm really looking forward to see the chemistry between Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin.
P.S. The teasers are adorkable, but Jo In Sung's striped pants has gotta go.

I remember how much we puzzled over the previews for City Hunter (He's playing in a fountain?) so I don't hold outside-genre previews as necessarily a bad thing.
In fact, I seem to like the shows better when they mix it up a bit. All tears can be tiresome, and a steady diet of frothy and cute wears thin after awhile.

I don't mind the mix of moods. What I like Noh Hee Kyung for is the ability to write dramas that may be about very serious matters or tragic turns of life, but they are never sobfests and can boast some off the wall humour. Having said that, I also believe that the mental conditions will be tackled without unnecessary tearfulness (as well as they won't be made laughing stock). I am looking forward to a drama about people who happen to be ill, and not about psychos who happen to have a human DNA.

Maybe their strategy is to release loads of WTFery. Then come presscon time, when the reporters ask:
"Gong Hyo Jin-sshi, how is your arm?"
"Why did you dance in the teaser?"
"Kyungsoo, did you have difficulties in your first drama?"
"Jo In Sung-sshi, why did you wear those weird pants?"
They'll answer everything with, "It's Okay. It's Love."

Out of all the things they could have copied from tvN (or any other cable channel), they had to pick this. And it's so hilariously inappropriate for this drama!
I wish public networks focused on making consistent work and treating their writers/directors/actors/staff well, so there wasn't so much behind-the-scenes drama.
Anyways, I have very mixed feelings about "It's okay, it's love".

I was confused as well. Like why they dance and just dance ramdomly in the teaser? I know it's cute and It's Okay I will still love Jo In Sung :p. But it's so strange and didn't give us any information about the drama. Well, I also have problem with FTLY teaser but this one is worse. Cute but cheesy.

Actually, King of High school teasers were great idea - it's a light comedy with high schoolers in it. It was cute, age appropriate , and it delivered. Just like a good thesis introduction in an essay. I watch this show and it makes me laugh. Now, these teasers turned me off already. It says to me: clumsy, stiff, not enjoying themselves in the show, no chemistry. As the author mentioned in this post - silliness in melodrama kills the mood. Speaking of teasers. The teaser in Doctor Stranger was the best made and the most interesting part of the show so far. Hope this teaser would ne the opposite - the worst part of the show, because both are good, seasoned actors I really like.

Not disagreeing with you but I think the OP just meant that these teasers are even more disappointing when compared to the ones for King of High School, not that KOHS's teasers were also bad. I could be wrong tho, I'm not the OP.

I'm hoping for melo tbh. I'm weird like that but I haven't seen a good melodrama since Secret. GHJ looks really youthful and I love her summery clothes. In the case of JIS, I only see bad hair and that hilarious pants.

Maybe the tone will be more like a new Leaf's. That show is light and funny when KMM is with oh sang tae and park mi young but it balances well with the more serious storyline like the relationship with Kmm's father. Can't say i care much for all the legal corporate-y scenes.

I was, and still am, very excited for this show. I mean, Jo Insung, Noh Hee Kyung, and mental illness are (… disturbingly?) a few of my favorite things! I hope these trailers don't really reflect the drama though, because honestly I prefer JIS's glorious crying over his I-can't-believe-I-got-pushed-into-doing-this dancing

I think this is one of those instances where the promos have nothing to do with the drama itself, but just there to garner buzz. Because, come on really? How does Jo In-sung & Gong Hyo-jin dancing have anything remotely related to the subject matter...unless there's a twist we don't know about -- maybe dancing is part of the treatment? ;P haha...
But in all seriousness, the promos make the drama look more comedic than it might be, if going on Noh Hee-kyung's past dramas. I'm still looking forward to this drama...

LOL trust Gong Hyo Jin to bring out the dork in the most serious male actors. Something about that Gong Hyo jin effect. Gong Yoo, Cha Seung Won, So Ji Sub have all suffered from GongHyoJinism, So Ji Sub being the worst of them all. Now, if only Won Bin would be next in line. I can not wait for that man to do a rom-com drama. I like seeing this side of Jo In Sung ...stepping out of his comfort zone. I am definately watching this whether its a rom-com or melodrama.....

Jo In Sung said it would be a romantic comedy earlier this year at his fan meeting. I'm more inclined to believe him than dozens of reporters making assumptions based on the writer's previous works an recycling what other reporters churned out.

Isn't the plot of this drama illegal? Or does Korea not have the rule that you can't date your therapist...? Some of these dramas make that impression on me...
Also, they set him up with OCD, so I'm hoping they don't do the Monk thing.... since he's a mystery writer.

Mental health is a very taboo topic in Korea, so I imagine it's not something people even think about let alone make laws about. I'm honestly kind of surprised someone is even writing a drama involving seeing a therapist at all.

These teasers are plagiarism. Some Korean netizens found that out and the drama production team admitted it, said they will delete the teasers and not use them. What a disappointment, because I was actually interested in this drama precisely because of the teasers looked so fresh, original and fun.
