I expressed my desire to join the project, sharing my personal interests in zombies and cruel fairy tales. The 47-year-old artist said he changed the overall feeling of the illustration styles to reflect how characters overcame their fears and bad memories. Ko falls in love with Moon Gang-tae (played by Kim Soo-hyun), a caretaker who works in a psychiatric hospital and takes care of his older brother Sang-tae (Oh Jung-se). He and Moon-young fall in love, slowly but very decidedly, and he begins to understand the meanings behind Moon-young’s harsh demeanor and actions in time and when he decides to leaf through one of her books, The Boy Who Fed on Nightmares.

The drama often narrates from the fictional fairytales that Moon Young has written, and each story, although seemingly grotesque and harsh, carries a valuable lesson for everyone. Apart from the healing romance between Ko and Moon, the drama shows how three adults – traumatised by parental abuse and murder when they were children – learn to recover from their past traumas. As the tales are stretched out over episodes, we begin to see the true meanings and lessons behind each one.If you feel like reliving each of these stories before deciding on which book to get, here are the clips of its storytelling from the hit K-drama!

After working as a concept artist for more than 20 years and experiencing the ups and downs of life, I realised that life isn't beautiful,” he said. The witch comes back and tells him that one will learn and discover more about life when one experiences troubles and overcomes them.In the beginning, I pretty much focused on defining the dark mood and appearance of lonely characters. In other news, the latest episode of It’s Okay To Not Be Okay will air tomorrow night on the 18th of July at 10pm KST on Netflix in selected countries.
