Is Nurse Park Mun Yeongs mom?

Fans of the hit drama, It’s Okay Not To Be Okay will know that the final episodes are out this coming weekend. As the drama draws to a close, fans are getting antsy as to the real identity of Do Hui Jae. While in the latest episode it was revealed that a likely candidate would be Park Hung Ja, the head nurse of the hospital, this one fan had a different take.

Drama Hyung on YouTube speculated that the head nurse was in fact, not really Do Hui Jae, Ko Moon Young‘s estranged, psychotic murdered of a mother. This theory stemmed from the title of the last episode – “The Father of A Tale of Two Sisters”. As you would have noticed, each episode is titled after a fairytale, and it eludes to the ongoings of the episodes. For example, the week before’s was “Romeo & Juliet”. There, Kang Tae and Moon Young are star-crossed lovers as he pushes her away again and again.

What exactly is A Tale of Two Sisters? A Korean fairytale, it is about two siblings, Janghwa and Hongryeon, who are abused by their stepmother. Soon, elder daughter Janghwa was killed by her stepmother, and Hongryeon soon followed suit voluntarily. Later on, the two enacted revenge as they wanted to redress Janghwa’s wrongful death. Drama Hyung infers, that the head nurse is then, not Do Hui Jae, but her sister instead.

In a Korean horror classic based on A Tale of Two Sisters, the movie adaptation has the younger sister undergoing dissociative identity disorder, often thinking she is her older sister instead. Drama Hyung thus theorizes that the head nurse thinks she is Do Hui Jae, and thus becomes possessive over everything Do Hui Jae “owns”, including Moon Young and Ko Dae Hwan. This would explain why the glass is shattered over Do Hui Jae’s face in the picture.

This explains why Moon Young said that she could not recognize the head nurse as her mother, even if plastic surgery was done. Drama Hyung further claims that the head nurse had framed the original Do Hui Jae for the murders, in order to more perfectly take over her life. This would also explain why Moon Young has happy and warm memories of her mother, in addition to chilling and possessive ones. Perhaps Moon Young got confused between her real mother and her aunt, the head nurse.

Drama Hyung also points out this chilling scene, where Moon Young recalls how her father had tried to strangle her. It can be seen that there is a man behind Ko Dae Hwan, who perhaps is the one to save Moon Young by pulling her father off her before she gets strangled to death. Who is this man? Drama Hyung speculates it to be Director Oh of the hospital.

It's Okay To Not Be Okay Ep 13 title might have revealed a HUGE spoiler about Mun Yeong's mother

SPOILERS AHEAD: 

Was it just us or did It's Okay To Not Be Okay's lowdown on the lives of Moon Sang-tae, Moon Gang-tae and Ko Mun-yeong's intertwined past give you a sleepless night as well? The tvN series released its 11th and 12th episodes over the weekend, unraveling secrets about the trio's past and opened the floodgate of theories. Fans finally learned that Mun-yeong's mother killed the Moon siblings' mother, leaving Sang-tae scarred. This revelation has everyone asking several questions. 

The biggest and obvious question is: Why? But apart from that, the episode also planted many more questions regarding Mun-yeong's mother and father: 

- Who did Ko Dae-hwan kill? 

- Where did the body disappear? 

- Is Nurse Park related to the Ko family? 

While fans debate over the possibilities of the family dynamics and present their theories online, Wikipedia revealed the title of the new episode and it seems to have revealed a huge spoiler. As per the website, the 13th episode is titled The Father Of A Tale Of Two Sisters. Given that every episode has been linked to a fairytale/folklore, it was safe to presume that this story too had a fairytale connection. However, upon further reading, we realised the title might have revealed a huge spoiler about events that took place in Mun-yeong's childhood. While the title says "The Father Of A Tale Of Two Sisters", there are chances that the new episode's plotline could revolve around the folklore Tale of Two Sisters, Janghwa Hongryeon jeon (in Korean).

The storyline revolves around two sisters whose mother dies. Their mother remarries and the new mother - the stepmother - wants to harm the children, while the father remains unaware. The folklore has been adapted in numerous versions in Korea. The most commonly known being the 2003 movie Janghwa, Hongryeon. The Kim Jee Woon directorial also had the premise of mental illness in the center of it. The movie tapped upon dissociative identity disorder.

Given the recent turn of events in the series, there are possibilities that the upcoming episode could revolve around the folklore, if not the same subject as the 2003 movie. If we are allowed to push the envelope here, we also feel that Mun-yeong might have a twin or an older/younger sibling who must have died at the hands of the mother. Given the death, Mun-yeong is terrified of her mother. Having said all this, this is merely a theory. 

While this is ours, there are some mind-blowing theories based on the episodes premiered over the weekend that fans are discussing online. One of the most popular being the likeliness of the mother hinted in the episode might not be her real mother. "Since every episodes are based on fairy tales stories. My theory is that Mun-Yeong's mother is not her birth mom, but rather her evil stepmother," a fan tweeted. 

"What if Moun Young’s mother actually gave birth to Sang Tae but threw him away because of his autism and deficiency, but eventually Gang Tae’s mother found him and raise him," another fan contemplated. "What if munyeong's mom is not really her mother? Remember what munyeong said to ceo lee that she is an orphan? What if this scene foreshadows the back story of munyeong's relationship with her mom?" added another. 

There are also theories suggesting that Mun-yeong and Sang-tae could be siblings. "The drama is really giving us a lot of sang tae and mun yeong scenes. a foreshadowing to them being as siblings," a tweet read. Fans have also noticed something fishy about Nurse Park and they feel she could be Mun-yeong's real mother. "I AM SO SURE THAT NURSE PARK PURPOSELY LED GANG-TAE INTO FINDING THAT PICTURE!!! This only strengthens the theory that she is in fact Mun-yeong’s mom!" a fan pointed out.
