K-drama dreams come true as Filipina visits locations of “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay”

As a k-drama fan, have you ever wished you could somehow teleport yourself through your laptop screen and be part of their world?

We sure dream of being able to travel one day to these destinations in search of our oppa. But this dream isn’t too far for a lucky few.

About a month ago, a Filipina took the opportunity to check out the locations of one of her favorite shows.

The recently concluded K-drama, “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” took Netflix by storm when it came out last June. The show has been praised for its captivating plot and whimsical animation, which helped to create a storybook fantasy. It stars Kim Soo Hyun, Seo Ye Ji, and Oh Jung Se, who all gave exceptional performances.

Fans also admire the show for its stunning cinematography, featuring gorgeous locations in some of its iconic scenes. The beautiful visuals definitely makes us wish we could visit the show’s filming locations and take it in with our own eyes.

Unfortunately, it’ll be long until we can book that flight to go see it for ourselves. But not for Imee Lee, a Filipina based in South Korea, who was fortunate enough to be able to visit the exact spots where the drama was shot.

She may not have been able to see the actors in the flesh, but it must have been just as magical being in these iconic spots.

Fellow k-drama fangirls everywhere are certainly jealous and wishing they could have done the same. Luckily for us, she documented her entire experience on her Youtube channel, Mee in Korea.

While everyone’s stuck at home, IONTBO fans can continue to cope with the conclusion of the show by turning to Imee’s posts and living out their k-drama fantasies through her.
