So it's been mentioned several times now that Joon-ho volunteered with disabled people, because his friends have mistaken Young-Woo for someone he is helping. We need more backstory on this.

And now I want Min-Woo to take down Bad Mom.

She has a son who's not a lawyer and really into computers, so she got married. Now, whether the husband is still alive, I don't know.

That little smile Joon-Ho gave when he told Young-Woo that she wasn't talking about whales today and she said she liked Mr. Bang. Then his pretend jealousy of Mr. Bang for a brief second. Then his complete embarrassment of having his chair pulled out for him.

Dad needs to lock his restaurant door when he's closed. But if he's going to leave it open, he should not sit with his back to the door.

They did not show the outcome of Fart guy's trial. So despite the feel good group hug, he still may have been convicted.

So much to unpack.

Is Young-Woo going to fix up her Spring Sunshine with Mr. Hairy at the sushi bar?

Journalist from Tree episode is going to out Mom?

What do you think Mom and Dad talked about?

Also, Dad needs to lock his restaurant door when he's closed. AND he needs to quit sitting with his back to the door if he's closed. That's a recipe to get robbed. Plus, a professional chef wouldn't drop his knife.

Jung Myung Seok putting Min-Woo in his place.

Joon-Ho not wanting to hurt Young-Woo if dating doesn't work out, and finally confessing his love.

I think the next case may bring up sexual issues for Joon-Ho and Young-Woo to think about.

Will Joon-Ho bring Min-Woo on a double date with Young-Woo and and her best friend?

Sunny lime yellow!

I think JH hesitating is because if it didn't work out, it would really hurt Young-Woo, and he didn't want to do that to her. I agree about this next case.

I can't wait for Dad to find out Young-Woo has a boyfriend. Dad meeting JH is going to be AWKWARD!

I'm so nervous that this might be the case.

Who is koo kyung Hwan? I don't see that name in the cast list.

So, what do you make of the "Lorem ipsum" logo on the whale suitcase? Is that some kind of in joke? "Lorem ipsum" is that garbage text that is put into word processors that you are supposed to replace with your real text. Did Young-Woo buy a custom suitcase and then did not customize it?

Ah, I did a little googling and found that it's a stretchy suitcase cover made in China. I found the exact one. It looks like you cannot change the "Lorem ipsum" to something else.

But if you want one, they're only $7 - $15 USD depending on size.

Ah, OK. Because "It's OK to Not be OK" also has the "long forgotten friends and your mom killed mine and so we can't be together, and I have an autistic brother" thang going for it.

I keep rewatching the mother daughter scenes. And the whale couple scenes.

Don't worry. It takes me a while to catch on to the abbreviations, too.

I'm always amazed at how the titles differ depending on who translated them for which country. The show you mentioned was called "It's OK to Not be OK" in my country. Love wasn't mentioned.

I would LOVE to see that happen. To have the mother reveal it. It would be the only way she could reconcile with the father and Young-Woo. It would be a huge scandal to her company and her family, so I'm curious how this will all play out.

Theories for the last 8 episodes.

1. Somehow Min-Woo will find out who Young-Woo's mother is and post it in an anonymous chatroom. OR, someone will find out and post it in an anonymous chatroom, and everyone will think Min-Woo did it and he'll be pissed off that he's being blamed for it. Chekov's chatroom. Why introduce it, if it's not going to be used later as a major plot point?

2. Somehow the truth about Young-Woo's mother will come out, and they'll be a huge scandal, and ruin TSM's chance at becoming a minister. It will also thrust Young-Woo and her father into the spotlight. Not sure how that's going to work out.

3. I'm hoping we find out more about Joon-ho in this second half. So far, he's a big mystery. He's volunteered with the disabled, we know that. He's a paralegal. And he shares an apartment with Min-Woo. How he doesn't strangle Min-Woo in his sleep, I don't know.

4. They introduced Young-Woo's best friend Geurami as having a crush on Min-Woo. I wonder if that will go anywhere? Checkov's girlfriend?

5. I really want Young-Woo's mother and father to somehow reconcile. But that would be a huge scandal.

6. Young-Woo's lawyer girlfriend Soo Yeon has been touching Young-Woo a lot. Lots of shoulder hugs. I feel like she's trying to get Young-Woo used to being hugged, so that when Joon-ho finally does embrace Young-Woo, she's ready to accept it. Checkov's hugs!

7. I read this somewhere else and it really hit me. In an earlier episode Young-Woo talks about whale hunters harpooning the baby whale because the mother whale won't abandon the baby. Then the hunters can get close and harpoon the baby whale. I wonder if this foreshadows doing something to Young-Woo to bring down TSM?

She's cute, but WE all fell in love with WYW, so why wouldn't JH? Seeing her in the wedding dress was just icing on the cake.

My nephew with Aspergers Syndrome did not speak for his first several years. Once he started speaking though, he was fine. He's the only person in his family to go to university and graduate, so he jumped over his siblings in education once he got the hang of it.
