Title Snowdrop
I don't know why but I like Bun Ok. I think out of everyone, she is the most complex character. She's out for one thing, which is to get money to help her ill father. Being the daughter that not even her father would look at and still work hard to raise money for him tells you a lot about her: she's very motivated and will do anything to get what she wants. And then we also the students at the college not even treating her like a person. We know she yearns for education as much as the students themselves, she wants that young college life experience, yet she is stuck in the operator room. She's obviously very emotional, but for someone who went through all that, how could she not. And when presented an opportunity, when Dr. Kang chose her to supervised the hostages, of course she would take it. We saw she was conflicted for a second there, as she doens't want to end up like her sister but her motivation to have that money to help her father outweighs everything. And often when someone who was consistently treated like shit, holds power, they obviously spiral like she did, in episode 10 and 11. Bun Ok is very realistic. Majority of people in her situation would do the exact same thing. You can see innocence in her eyes but then there's this glint of madness that kind of takes over. This is why Bun Ok's character is very fleshed out. I'm not defending her actions but rather just laying out why she does what she does. KHY as always killed this role.
