We want a Mang-tae doll, too!

Kapuso actress Gabbi Garcia won't be having anymore nightmares since she got her very own Mang-tae doll.

The said rag doll was seen in the hit Korean romance-drama series It's Okay To Not Be Okay.

Starring Kim Soo-hyun and actress Seo Ye-ji, It's Okay To Not Be Okay tells a story about antisocial children's book author Ko Mun-yeong and the dashing Moon Gang-tae, a caregiver at a psychiatric ward.

Gang-tae has an elder brother Moon Sang-tae portrayed by the remarkable Oh Jung-se, who is an adult man born with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Gang-tae created Mang-tae doll for his brother to catch all his bad dreams.

In the K-drama series, he eventually gave Mang-tae to Ko Mun-yeong to help her with her own nightmares as well.
