Really compelling story about the multiple faces of our Sarah Kim. It’s interesting to think about how many different kinds of “us” there are. I honestly found myself rooting for Sarah quite a bit and a little annoyed at the judgement from Mu Gyeong. Part of the reason Sarah existed is due to the unfair practices the pushed her into a 500k debt. The samwol store that makes their employees pay for lost merchandise and yet won’t even allow them an accessible place for the bathroom. The illegal loan sharks that forced a signature for more money. Even so, she saved the man whose business pushed her farther into debt. Sarah isn’t perfect but I felt I could still appreciate her sheer ingenuity and tenacity to survive. Also, I don’t think it’s a scam to create a luxury brand because that’s literally what they all do. Poetic, really, at the end that the while Mu gyeong held contempt of Sarah for her lies, he also gave him to reach his own ambitions. I think once Sarah is released, she’ll rise again though and i’d love to see it.
