It's Okay, That's Love (Korean: 괜찮아, 사랑이야; RR: Gwaenchanha, Sarang-iya) is a 2014 South Korean television series starring Jo In Sung, Ging Hyo Jin, Sung Dong Il, Lee Kwang Soo, and Do Kyung Soo. It aired on SBS from July 23 to September 11, 2014 on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 21:55 for 16 episodes.

Jang Jae-yeol is an author of bestselling mystery novels and a radio DJ. Playful and a bit arrogant, he also suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. Jang Jae-yeol was assaulted by his father when he was young and his mother accidentally killed his father, but he falsely testified that his brother killed his father. That guilt leads him to develop the obsessive-compulsive disorder. Ji Hae-soo is a psychiatrist in her first year of fellowship. Driven and ambitious with her career yet compassionate towards her patients, Hae-soo has a negative attitude towards love and relationships in her personal life. Once Jae-yeol and Hae-soo meet, there is much contention between them caused by their strong personalities and refusal to give in to each other. However, their bickering slowly turns into love and they begin to learn how compatible they are. Jae-yeol and Hae-soo attempt to heal each other's deep-seated wounds, but their fledgling relationship takes a blow when they learn that Jae-yeol's mental health issues are more serious than they initially suspected.

• Jo In Sung as Jang Jae-yeol
  • Sung Yu Bin as young Jang Jae-yeol

A bestselling mystery fiction novelist and radio DJ. Because of his troubled past and obsessive-compulsive disorder, Jae-yeol can only sleep in his own bathtub. From his first meeting with psychiatrist Ji Hae-soo on a talk show, they have had a combative relationship. When noise from ongoing construction beside his house interrupts his writing, and he learns that Hae-soo is currently a tenant living in a building he owns in Hongdae, Jae-yeol temporarily moves in with her and her housemates because of his fascination with her. As the two falls in love, they must later come to grips with Jae-yeol's undiagnosed schizophrenia. 

• Gong Hyo Jin as Ji Hae-soo
  • Kang Joo-eun as young Ji Hae-soo

A first-year fellow in the psychiatry department at a university hospital. A smart and compassionate doctor but not very affectionate. Hae-soo self-diagnoses herself as having insecurity/anxiety issues, fear of commitment, and sex phobia due to an incident where she saw her mom cheating on her dad with another guy.

• Sung Dong Il as Jo Dong-min

Hae-soo's senior colleague at the hospital and housemate, who also happens to be her first love. His wife and children are based in the United States, and he has an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and colleague, Young-jin. After he becomes the court-appointed psychiatrist to a convict, Jang Jae-beom, whom he later finds out is Jae-yeol's brother, Dong-min sets out to find the truth behind the crime.

• Lee Kwang Soo as Park Soo-kwang

A cafe waiter with Tourette Syndrome, and housemate of Hae-soo and Dong-min. He is particularly close friends with Dong-min, who often calms him down during his panic attacks. Soo-kwang is unlucky in love and keeps getting dumped by girls, but the one he can't quite get over is So-nyeo, who is not only a minor but has several boyfriends at the same time.

• Do Kyung Soo as Han Kang-woo

A high school student who's a big fan of Jae-yeol, and aspires to become a famous author like him. Kang-woo constantly bugs Jae-yeol to read his manuscripts and follows him around. He and his mother are frequently beaten by his alcoholic father. Kang-woo is later revealed to be more than just a fan of Jae-yeol. Jae-yeol first saw Kang-woo three years ago, ever since Jae-beom stabbed him.

Actually, I never watched this drama even though my elder sister told me that it was a good drama with storyline about schizophrenia, one of mental illness.

After I searched about this drama, I liked it.  I interested with the storyline which showed about mental illness. But I didn't like the actors. 😅😅😅
