As teaser video of "It's Okay, That's Love" has been embroiled in plagiarism controversy, the production team announced a position regarding the issue.

On June 26, the production agency of SBS's new Wednesday-Thursday drama "It's Okay, That's Love" said, "While researching a great number of images and videos , we found a video that best matched the intended tone and message of our drama."

The agency continued, "The concept we were going for wasn't just one of 'what heals wounds is love'. We wanted to portray a drama that is like a cheering song that tells people to admit love as it is and appreciate growth that comes from love. However, our extreme ambition led us to making a wrong choice of plagiarizing a video that had a similar concept."

Meanwhile, the production team of "It's Okay, That's Love" released a teaser video, but a number of netizens pointed that it resembles a scene from movie 'OLIVE OLIVE' directed by Celia Rowlson-hall.
