It all started when a group of fangirls decided to start writing about the dramas they loved, and hated, and thought they might want to watch, and, well, you get the picture. Five years later, we are still going strong! We’ve got the blog, the podcast, and some pretty solid friendships. In the last five years, we have recapped some amazing dramas, traveled to various concerts together, and supported some amazing charities.

We are getting to the end of this drama, and things are getting very serious. It looks like Moon Young’s mom is back from the dead, and she’s pretty scary. I need our little ragtag family to stay strong. I’m pretty worried about Moon Young, and I’m afraid that we will see some noble idiocy from her.

Eek! Is anyone else thinking things are going pretty well and now they will toss something bad at us? Let’s find out if our little family can weather not just mental illness but also a potential murderess. This recap is going to be longer than usual because I have a LOT to say.

What is truth, and what is fantasy? Our OTP has hit some pretty serious obstacles in their quest for love and happiness. We’ve watched these characters move so far forward, and I’m hoping that we aren’t going to fall back. I heard a rumor that this episode will make us smile, and I’m ready for some happiness for our OTP.

Now that everyone lives in the same house, what’s going to happen? Fairytales are both delightful and frightening sometimes. As our OTP grows closer, will they be able to overcome their very real fears of desertion and rejection?

Y’all know what my number one favorite trope is? Well, it’s forced cohabitation, it’s when the OTP are forced to stay together for whatever reason and sleep in the same room/house. Apparently, it’s Moon Young’s favorite too because she’s been looking for any reason she can find to stay with Kang Tae. Let’s talk about episode 5 and see if she gets what she wants.

All signs point to home and facing the monsters that live there. What defines bravery, and who decides what is healthy and unhealthy as our characters face their childhood trauma? It’s not all gloom and doom though, we get to meet Ju Ri’s mom, played by actress Kim Mi Kyung, who happens to be one of the Fangirls’ favorite moms and actresses.

This drama keeps drawing me in with how it spins real world issues into a fantasy. When we break down mental illness into children’s terms, it’s easier to discuss it. Somehow we find it easier to be more forgiving and honest when we look at it from a juvenile level. Episode 2 is all about boundaries and the people who follow them rigidly, or don’t follow them at all.

It’s summer, it’s hot, and the Fangirls are all still stuck inside due to the state of the world. I’m Clkytta: fangirl, mom, friend, writer, editor, and teacher. Last night, Kmuse and I were recording a podcast and I mentioned that we hadn’t done a recap in a while. It’s well known on the blog that if you mention to Kmuse that you are watching something, you will be writing about it, lol. Since I opened my mouth and mentioned we weren’t doing any recaps, Kmuse and I will be recapping It’s Okay to Not Be Okay. We are a bit behind since it started last week, but we will get caught up quickly. I’m looking forward to sharing my thoughts with you and spending some kbestie time with Kmuse. As usual, this won’t be a play by play recap, it’s more highlights and things that stood out to us kind of recap.
