Opening Credit Sequence for IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY

And while I've featured the very first (stop-motion) opening credit sequence for IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY, today I take a quick delve into the "regular" opening sequence for the (South) Korean drama series, whose finale is today Sunday August 9th, 2020 on both tvN and Netflix.


The opening credits is a tableau of montaged paper-cut styled desktop dioramas, based on a mixed selection of storybook / fairytales, including but not limited to "Sleeping Beauty" (symbolised with "thorns"), "Beauty and The Beast", "Rapunzel", even "Wizard of Oz" (red heels and green witch's hat), and I am pretty sure I am also missing out on non-Western fairytales being represented and depicted too...?!


The song used has also not been revealed. Folks online have begun to call it "Not a Fairytale" or "There Was Once Upon A Time", but neither is officially confirmed. The song has been revealed to be "Sketch Book" by Janet Suhh!

This opening started from Episode 2, and if you had not noticed, Saturday airings featured a coloured / sepia tone (seen in video posted above), while Sunday airings are in black and white! And while I cannot as yet find any embeddable video as yet, featured in select screen grabs HERE on POPCORNX are the B&W-scenes, some of which features a distinct red coloured out too!


Very aptly themed with the series too, not just with the character of Ko Mun-yeung being a author of fairytales, but as well each episode is named and themed after a tale.

If you count watching the episodes "live" as they air, then tonight's episode (#16) is the last you'll see, isn't it? ENJOY :)
