Our favourite Seo Ye Ji fashion moments in K-drama It’s Okay To Not Be Okay

Let’s be real, Ko Mun Yeong’s outfits are showstoppers

by Hayley Zhang, Ho Guo Xiong  /   April 6, 2022

In this era where we consider Netflix to be our BFF (not kidding), we are eternally thankful for the existence of Korean hits like Crash Landing On You, Itaewon Class, The World Of The Married and The King: Eternal Monarch that starred Goblin‘s Kim Go-eun and Lee Min-ho.

Another K-drama we’re obsessed with? Romance drama It’s Okay To Not Be Okay starring Kim Soo Hyun and Seo Ye Ji that is streaming on Netflix. The show follows the lives of a psychiatric ward nurse (Kim) and a famous children’s book author (Seo) and the relationship between the two as they heal each other’s emotional traumas.

Besides the unique plotline and unconventional cinematography, Seo’s fashion is another reason to stay glued to the series. Keep reading to find out why we’re Seo-obsessed with her style.

Our favourite Seo Ye Ji fashion moments in K-drama It's Okay To Not Be Okay
Seo Ye Ji wearing Piaget Sunlight chain earrings
image

She dresses up a casual floral dress with earrings that matches her elegance. The earrings are made of 18K rose gold and set with 170 brilliant-cut diamonds.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Fendi PF20 Women’s Look 41
image

In ep 14, Mun-yeong wore a shirt and dress combo from Fendi’s Prefall collection in her home after finding out something that would change her relationship with Gang-tae.

Seo Ye Ji wearing a black dress
image

We were first introduced to our female lead with an all-black ensemble, which immediately signalled to us her cold yet elegant disposition. The blazer-style dress matched with her immaculate makeup (look at those red lips!) and sleek, soft wavy tresses were enough to get us enthralled.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Givenchy GV3 bag
image

In the same opening scene where our lead was having a meal at her favourite restaurant, we also caught a glimpse of the black Givenchy GV3 bag on the table.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Jimmy Choo Fira 100 heels
image

To finish her sophisticated, Seo tapped on a pair of black stilettos from Jimmy Choo. The design is part of the Evening Edit collection and incorporates delicate tulle set against a suede construction and a dainty velvet bow. This versatile design is great for both evening or party events.

Seo Ye Ji wearing black puff sleeve dress
image

In the scene where the male and female leads meet at a hospital, Seo was wearing a black puff sleeve dress. If you look closely, you’ll see intricate rose details on the material and golden buttons on the cuffs that add elegance to the overall look.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Projekt Produkt SC7 sunglasses
image

Seo is blessed with an oval face shape, widely considered to be the perfect silhouette, which makes her great to pull off oversized sunglasses. Her petite face matched with the Projekt Produkt SC7 sunglass made her look even slimmer. The butterfly shape-like sunglasses also aids the cheekbones to look more prominent.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Magda Butrym Le-Havre dress
image

After changing into a floral body-hugging dress filled with complicated patterns and attention-grabbing colours, our lead looked even more imposing and confident. The ruffled detail and oversized bow detail on the shoulders isn’t a look that everyone can pull off, yet Seo was able to execute it flawlessly.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Gianvito Rossi heels
image

To offset the stunning and dramatic dress, Seo opted for a muted yet impactful towering gold stilettos from Gianvito Rossi to complete her look. It is a good choice as it showed off her lean, long gams.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Playnomore Micro Candy handbag
image

The final piece of the look was the Micro Candy mini handbag from South Korean fashion label Playnomore. We love how the bag looks playful and cute while being modern and chic.

Seo Ye Ji wearing a blazer dress
image

We saw how impressive and powerful the lead was in the first two episodes. Seo donned a sharp black blazer dress with two-button rows. The cinched waist silhouette further accentuated her slim figure.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Bottega Veneta boots
image

The black dress paired with knee-high stockings and Bottega Veneta oxford boots bolstered her steely personality and imparted an almost schoolgirl vibe.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Prada heels
image

At the end of episode 2, we saw Seo step out with a pair of red Prada pumps. We saw many scenes featuring the pair, with the vibrant colours and modern silhouette further amping up her glam factor.

Seo Ye Ji wearing vintage Dior dress
image

This indigo vintage Dior dress is based on the brand’s classic umbrella-shaped skirt and tapered waist to make the body look slender and svelte. The body-hugging cut matched with her crisp updo further played up the retro charm.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Honghol Avant Diva sunglasses
image

Honghol is well-loved among the fashionable set in South Korea and is fronted by The World Of The Married‘s Han So-hee. The cat-eye shape is totally fitting with her vintage-inspired dress, don’t you think?

Seo Ye Ji wearing Eenk robe
image

Your loungewear doesn’t have to look shabby and slouchy. Take a leaf from Seo’s comfy chic robe from South Korean label Eenk. It is made of silk and features the brand’s signature print.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Minjukim jacket
image

As the story progresses, Seo puts on different styles of clothing that show off her fashion range. Here, she sports a white ruffled Minjukim jacket that adds a touch of femininity and romanticism to her usual cold exterior.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Loewe Obi belt
image

This khaki Loewe Obi belt not only cinches the waist, but it also adds structure and another design element to her ensemble.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Joy Gryson Margo handbag
image

Her richly textured look is juxtaposed against the understated and clean Joy Gryson Margo bag that adds a touch of softness while being practical.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Honghol Etoile sunglass
image

The third pair of sunnies we see on the show is the Etoile from South Korean brand Honghol. Unlike the previous two, this has a more angular silhouette that adds structure to her soft, rounded facial features.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Magda Butrym Siena dress
image

This stunning black dress is from the same label as the vibrant floral dress – Magda Butrym. We love the ruffled details along the neckline and arms as it lends a vintage quality.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Moynat Tango handbag
image

Simple and sophisticated are best used to describe the Moynat Tango handbag that Seo is carrying her. The boxy shape against the curved metal handle and arched buckle makes the bag a stylish must-have item.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Gianvito Rossi 105 heels
image

A simple black stilettos got elevated by Gianvito Rossi with the use of intricately cut ruffle details. It also further added dimension and texture to the outfit.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Zimmermann Peggy dress
image

In episode 4, we see a different side to Seo. The cold witchy exterior was melted with the pure white lace Zimmermann dress and was replaced with a fairy goddess-like quality.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Alexander McQueen The Story bag
image

Alexander McQueen’s The Story handbag was chosen to complete her ethereal look. The masterful construction of raffia, leather and metal alongside the top handle design echoes elegance.

Seo Ye Ji wearing Burberry Scarf-tie 100mm heels
image

Shoes are imperative to complete any look. Here, our lead wore a Burberry lace-up heels that added a touch of summer vacation wear.
