glory Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 so since the title of next episode is "Rapunzel of the Cursed Castle", we might (hopefully) get to learn more about her mom. mother Gothel kept Rapunzel hidden from the outer world in the name of her protection but actually was trying to benefit from her. also, Gothel showed love to Rapunzel just like MY's mother did. this is getting interesting! 8 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyotiful Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 My reaction: Unbelievable!!! Fans of It’s Okay To Not Be Okay are appreciating the series for shedding light on different mental health ailments. However, a few scenes from Kim Soo-hyun and Seo Ye-ji's new drama have not gone down well with viewers. International fans are applauding Kim Soo-hyun and Seo Ye-ji's new drama It’s Okay To Not Be Okay for its attempt to shed light on mental health awareness. With just four episodes down, the tvN drama has already sparked the conversation about different mental health illness. However, It’s Okay To Not Be Okay finds itself in a controversy after the third episode featured a few scenes that did not go down well with audiences in South Korea and a few international viewers. The third episode of It’s Okay To Not Be Okay featured Kim Soo-hyun's Moon Kang-tae standing shirtless in the locker room/hospital's changing room when Seo Ye-ji's Ko Moon-young barges into the changing room and reaches out to the character's washboard abs. While the scene left many fans gushing, a few fans did not appreciate that the onscreen writer touched the caregiver without his consent. In another scene, Ko Moon-young expressed her wish to sleep with Moon Kang-tae. The bold scene has also left everyone talking. Viewers have also spoken up against Kwak Dong Yeon's cameo character Kwon Ki Do flashing in the scene. Viewers took to THEQOO and Twitter to deem the scene "sexual harassment." Via Koreaboo, a viewer, writing on THEQOO, said, "The entire scene about the hair being sexually arousing… LMAO. I really can’t even deal with how much harassment is overlooked as humor.” Another comment read, "All of these scene are problematic indeed. I can’t believe some of you are trying to side with the show… Look how forgiving we are when it comes to sexual harassment, huh?” While viewers are pointing out the scene, there are a few speaking up against the backlash. As the online debate continues, the Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCSC) has received over 50 complaints regarding the show as of Monday (29/6) after. As reported by MoneyS via Naver, a representative revealed these complaints have been with regard to the sexual content appearing in the third episode. Do you think the makers went too far with the elements of the third episode?

Fangirl Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 About the complain about harassment, I think the writer just want to portray the behavior of antisocial disorder. It does happen in real life. If they cannot handle it, don’t watch this drama 9 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 40somethingahjumma Posted July 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2020 Words cannot fully express my love and admiration for this show. Not only does it have one of my favourite narrative tropes -- broken people who gradually find their way to each other (a well-worn trek in Kdramaland) but then it's much much more than that. It's like reading a postmodern novel within a novel. A subset of the fantasy genre that used to be called "magic realism" made famous by people like Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Gunter Grass. As someone who grew up on folktales, fairytales and Roald Dahl... this show is hitting all the right notes for me. The moralizing is just so beautifully and painfully incorporated into the contemporary setting as well as the fictional elements. I feel like I've been transported inside a Roald Dahl book written for the child inside every adult. On some level you think... this can't possibly work but then for some reason... all these disparate elements somehow come together. While the cast is undoubtedly good, it's the storytelling that's really the star of the show. From the start I thought it fascinating that Mun-yeong positioned herself as the Witch. Her ASPD seemed to be the perfect cover for someone only too eager to transgress convention and wreak havoc. But it's increasingly obvious that the ASPD is more a result of nurture than nature. The cursed castle where she grew up was clearly a place of bleakness and systematic parental abuse. Here the witch... the prima donna... who acts as an agent of chaos is also the quintessential outsider. Her power... fabulous wealth... allows her to act unencumbered and in the eyes of the ruling elite, irresponsibly. Because she is the outsider, she is quite perceptive and very shrewd because she's looking from the outside in. That's why she can write books like The Boy Who Fed On Nightmares and Zombie Kid. She's an out-of-the-box thinker who imagines dark grotesque fables for a living. That I am guessing is the result of her mother's, the crime writer, handiwork. Nevertheless whatever her mother fashioned her to be, ultimately MY is still a broken human being with needs. There's a part of her that rebels against her programming and brainwashing. The part of her that craves to be loved. Whatever the language she uses. The man-made distortions in her soul can't entirely mask the core of who she is. I'm supposing that she is looking to Gang-tae to be her champion (to continue along the lines of the fairytale metaphor) or hero because he seems to be fearless in the face of her antics. While he stands up to her, he is genuinely confused by her and thinks perhaps that he has bigger fish to fry. For him he is both intrigued and repelled by the tangled mess that she is. Hence the constant push and pull. She isn't safe not because she does wildly insane things and breaks the rules. She's dangerous because she astutely taps into a side of him he has long suppressed. That's the Gang-tae that wants to live for the moment except for the fact that he's been completely programmed from childhood that his reason for existence is to be his older brother's caregiver. I found that whole side of things very insidious TBH. I don't know if his mother realised the consequences of what she was doing to him telling him that's the reason why he was born... why he came to the world. To be his brother's keeper. I suppose the other extreme can happen too. An entire family directing all their energy at managing the demands of the one who is special needs, while the other son/brother is largely neglected and has no identity of his own except as his brother's primary caregiver. So we have two individuals who have been brainwashed by their mothers that they have no identity of their own.They have been sculptured after their mothers' image of who they should be. Their role in the world is It seems to me to be a form of a mental indentured servitude in response to parental expectations. The implication is that the Zombie Kid may or may not have been born a monster but he stayed one because he was raised like he was. Kwon Gi-do is another product of family expectations gone awry. I'm sure MY sees something of herself in Gang-tae and vice versa. To me they are more like kindred spirits rather than two halves looking for a whole. Each see the echoes of their own brokenness. What I did appreciate most of MY is that though may seem like she wants something out of Gang-tae, she is protective of him too. The fact that she noticed and then got riled up that some one had slapped him shows that it isn't a one way street necessarily. Perhaps, if and when he is ready to let her, she might become his champion too. Someone who helps him see the possibilities outside the confines of being his brother's keeper. Someone who gives him permission to be himself, to do something that he wants. There's something in Sang-tae that suggests that he wants that for his brother too when he says "I'm the older brother, let me take care of you." The idea of a mental health facility being a metaphor for the tension between the individual/outsider and the collective/community is not a new one. It was certainly a theme explored in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. That certainly came to the fore in Kwon Gi-do's arc. He is the proverbial black sheep of the family. The "difficult child" that the family is embarrassed to mention in polite company. He is the outsider. He doesn't fit in even with his own family. Just like the Zombie Kid. Just like Sang-tae and by extension Gang-tae. There are all kinds of people who don't fit comfortably within the group and are fated to lurk in the fringes or are ostracized. There are no easy solutions for this. Maybe the only solution is for them to find their own community of mis-fits where they do fit in. I am intrigued by the director of OK Psychiatric facility who is an actual clinician albeit a quirky one. He seems to genuinely care about his patients, his staff and the facility. He isn't the usual bureaucrat that runs these sorts of organization. Unlike GT's previous director, he does his bit to protect his people. It feels like he's walked off the pages of a Roald Dahl book like a Willy Wonka.I hope he hasn't got some dark secret and that he's really a bad guy in disguise because there's a lot more to him that first meets the eye. He's definitely an acute observer of people. I am almost certain that he's making Mun-yeong spend time with her father because he thinks that's something she needs to play out in her life. 17 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blademan Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 The eyes are the window to your soul. - William Shakespeare Spoiler Cred. Tumblr (@iwillgotoyou) This quote takes on a new meaning in regards to MY. She almost is too good (or well trained) at hiding her emotions. Before her increased interactions with KT - we didn't really get to see how broken she is. Just as much as she is slowly peeling off the million layers KT has, he has managed to do the same for her. It's a slow process but you can almost predict that they will be each other's salvation. Just imagine two of them being vulnerable with each other and combine that with KSH and SYJ's chemistry and acting prowess - RIP to us viewers. 11 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schummy_lover Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 hhhmmm....i would like to comment about the harassment...i think we agree what MY did is wrong, you cant touch someone else abs sensually like that in private (locker room) or public (after KT drags her out and all of us in this forum watched it). it is really wrong actually..it will be ok if MY ask for permission which 99% wont be granted by KT..hahahahaha... But..we can see from KSH acting, how bad it feels (embarrassed, angry, etc) when you are in his shoes, and it can be lesson for all fangirl/ fanboy not to cross the line of being a fan...for sasaeng i have no words..they are the samples of mental illness... We can be happy touching someone who we like, but that someone is in agony by our actions. KT> just my opinion 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
