It's Okay to Not Be Okay (Psycho But It's Okay / Saikojiman Gwaenchana / 사이코지만 괜찮아)

IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY

A long time ago,

there lived a beautiful girl in a castle located deep inside the forest.

She was always alone, so she was lonely and bored.

So one day, she left the castle to find herself a friend to play with.

She offered them all sorts of amazing gifts,

but nobody ever accepted her.

Later on, she found out why.

A monster who brings along the shadow of death.

That's what the people called her.

"She's a monster. A monster."

She was very angry at every living soul in the world.

And she needed to take it out on someone.

Ever since she had unexpectedly saved the boy from dying,

the scary shadow that always followed her around suddenly disappeared.

And the boy always followed her around instead.

He always went with her whether it was day or night

and whether she was in the mountains or on a field.

On a clear and sunny day, the girl asked him this.

"Hey, will you always stay by my side?"

"Of course. I will never run away."

"Even after you see this?"

The girl was all alone again,

and that's when the shadow of death came back and whispered this.

"No one can ever stay by your side

because you're a monster.

Do not ever forget that. Do you understand?"

Yes, Mother.

CHAPTER 1 THE BOY WHO FED ON NIGHTMARES

THE BOY WHO FED ON NIGHTMARES

This stop is Daun Vocational School.

The next stop is...

I mean, he threw a huge fit in the middle of class.

My goodness.

No!

There's no use in trying to stop him.

And this isn't the first time.

Your expression shows your emotions

What if there was a dangerous tool right next to him?

It would've led to an accident.

I don't understand why we always need to walk on eggshells

-because of Sang-tae. -Is he angry?

Is he angry?

-Anyway, we need to think of safety, -Angry...

-Getting annoyed. -and he's too much for us to handle.

Just send him to a special needs school or a local community center.

That will be best for everyone.

- Your expression shows your emotions -Tell me what you think.

What do you think?

Will you please say something? My gosh, seriously.

He's angry.

THE BOY WHO FED ON NIGHTMARES

MOON SANG-TAE

Sang-tae.

Aren't you hungry?

What do you want to eat?

You weren't planning to stay here for that long anyway.

I'll find you a better school once we move.

I promise.

-Are you that upset? - Jjamppong.

-What? - Tangsuyuk with sauce on the side.

Let's not go to Jageumseong. Let's eat at Yangjagang.

Okay, let's stuff ourselves with food at Yangjagang.

The food is really good there. Do you remember?

When was the last time we went?

Don't worry. I'll buy. I'm your big brother.

By any chance, are you Author Ko Mun-yeong?

-Yes. -See? I told you.

My daughter is a big fan of yours.

I'm sorry to ask this,

but can we please get your autograph?

-Your name? -Lee Seul-bi.

She's really beautiful in real life, isn't she?

Yes, she's like a princess from a fairy tale.

-Why do you think I'm like a princess? -Because you're pretty.

My mom always calls me "princess"

because I'm pretty.

Ma'am, how about a photo?

My goodness, thank you.

Go stand next to her.

Come here.

You're not my fan, are you?

Pardon?

In all my fairy tales, the witch is always the one that's pretty.

Who told you all princesses are kind and pretty?

Did your mom tell you that?

Princess, look over here.

If you really want to be that pretty, I want you to say this.

-One. -"Mom.

-I'm going to be... -Two.

a pretty witch."

Three.

Princess.

-Oh, goodness. -Princess!

My gosh.

My gosh. Mun-yeong.

Buongiorno , Mun-yeong.

My gosh, what's with this chain?

What made that little kid cry her eyes out so early in the morning?

I guess she was touched. I helped her correct her misconception.

What in the world...

Good job.

It can be very dangerous for a kid to be biased towards something.

But you helped her fix that?

You really are amazing, Mun-yeong.

Just a second.

OK PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL

I don't need your loan. I'm already rich.

Okay, let's get going.

We have about two hours.

So you have time to go to a beauty salon.

Why would I go there?

You can't go there looking like that.

You look like Francesca who is on her way to a funeral

for the Addams Family.

You can't go to a children's ward looking like that.

You're not going there to scare the kids. You're going there to give them hope.

You'll be reading your fairy tale there.

-But you look-- -You said it's dangerous to be biased.

I personally think you're more dangerous.

Mun-yeong, please.

You should dress according to the TPO.

Time, place and occasion.

I'll tell them to come to you.

Do you know why I like this restaurant?

-Because the steak-- -No.

The knife here

is amazing.

-Look. -Mun-yeong, you're bleeding.

How pretty.

I want it.

Good gracious.

Ma'am.

Just a second.

EMPLOYEE CARD CAREGIVER MOON GANG-TAE

Mr. Moon, you need to come to the lounge.

Gosh, that thief ate all my food.

It's as if she's been starving for days.

Ms. Myoung Ji-suk.

Honey.

I feel so empty.

Even so, you shouldn't eat in such a hurry.

If you do, you'll get an upset stomach again.

So don't eat everything all at once.

Instead, it'd be great if you could take your time

to eat your food.

You told me you liked that I ate well.

You took it the wrong way.

It's just that when you like someone, you even like the way they eat.

Honey.

Then

why did you cheat on me with that skinny model?

It's okay.

Don't smile at me.

It disgusts me.

-Put your arms up like this. -Let me go!

Then pull them down like this.

-Stay still! -I don't belong here!

Let me go! Let go of me!

I can't go in here! I can't!

Let go!

I don't belong here!

-Is he a new patient? -Let me go!

Two days ago, he overdosed on alprazolam with his daughter

and came as an emergency patient.

He used to get treated for his anxiety disorder.

I think he tried to commit suicide with her.

By the looks of it, I think he wanted to kill his daughter and then kill himself.

Where's Go-eun?

Where is Go-eun? Where is my daughter?

Fortunately, she threw up right after she took the drug.

And she's getting counseling for PTSD at our child psychology department.

Go-eun.

Go-eun, what's on your mind?

Let me go!

He's going to receive a psychiatric assessment this afternoon.

So check his vitals every hour.

And double-check the restraining band as you give him an IV fluid.

Okay.

After the reading, you will answer questions from the audience.

Then you'll give out your autographed storybooks to the kids.

And you'll be done once you take a photo with the hospital staff for PR.

I'm not sure if I'm a secretary or the CEO of a publishing company.

I'm seriously starting to wonder.

I got hired as an art director.

But I had no idea that I'd be working as your minion.

Hey, you told me you'll do anything during the interview.

Well, I didn't know you'd make me do physical labor.

I hired you knowing that you're not very smart.

What do you want me to do? Should I just fire you?

No.

OK PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL

“OK Psychiatric Hospital”?

Sir, do you get counseling?

That's such a good idea.

Answer the phone.

-Hello? -Put it on speaker.

Hello? Mr. Lee?

I'm Nam Ju-ri, a nurse at OK Psychiatric Hospital.

Come this way.
