K-Drama Reaction: Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food

Let’s talk about Kyung-sun (Jang So-yeon)…

This episode just made me love her even more. I respect Kyung-sun so much, and the way Jang So-yeon portrayed her is just superb. Kyung-sun is a strong, independent career woman who will do everything to protect her dongsaeng. I loved how the show perfectly delivered the contrast of emotions between Kyung-sun and Joon-hee (Jung Hae-in).

While Joon-hee was all smiles talking with Jin-a (Son Ye-jin) over the phone, Kyung-sun was facing the wrath of Jin-a’s evil Mom…

While Joon-hee and Jin-a were all lovey dovey, Kyung-sun was arguing with her unapologetic father for completely abandoning them. I have met so many evil fathers in K-dramaland, but I think Kyung-sun and Joon-hee’s father is on a different level. I haven’t even seen him yet he already makes me furious.

The way Kyung-sun handled the confrontation with Jin-a’s Mom also proved that she’s wayyyyy better than that old ahjumma. She may not have parents, but she grew up well-mannered. And frankly, she doesn’t deserve to hear all those nonsense things uttered by Jin-a’s Mom.

I know it’s bad to wish other people harm, but I can’t help but think that Mom’s injury is karma. Lol. She is harsh and judgmental. She is selfish and narrow-minded. I don’t believe that she is only objecting the relationship because she considered Joon-hee as her own son. She was concerned that when time comes, Joon-hee will have to shoulder his half-siblings. She disapproves of Joon-hee because he doesn’t have a perfect set of qualifications that she wants for a son-in-law.
