By William Schwartz | Published on
On August 2nd a news periodical announced that tvN had only just finished filming of the drama "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" on July 31st. This is later than expected, given the South Korean drama industry's shift away from the live shooting system. Purportedly, "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" was supposed to have finished shooting much earlier but COVID-19 adjacent safety measures pushed filming back such that the completion was only recently managed.
