I didn't like that they added Bok-soon to the drama, but I have to admit that she definitely adds some entertaining craziness to the mix. I actually felt bad for Bok-soon when Aunt was yelling at her for eating alone. That may not be proper in their culture, but she was hungry and wasn't just trying to sneak in, cook, and gobble it all up before the family returned (which wouldn't have surprised me)...she actually bought enough for everyone!...that was definitely surprising!

Yeah, but she borrowed the money to buy the food (and then makes a big show of paying back Aunt the $50), so the thanks should really go out to Ok-Ja-Soon

Okay, well, she's an inconsiderate person and a glutton as well.

Why didn't Bok-soon eat the chicken elsewhere?! She sits in the kitchen and is bound to get caught. My goodness! She should have like went into another room or something. I did feel a little bad that Aunt yelled at her though.

She is so greedy! The only think I can think of in her defense is that she may have had many years of poverty and privation, and losing the money and seeing all that chicken must have sent her over the edge temporarily. What is the deal with everyone saying, "Steamed chicken! OH BOY, I'll be home early!" It reminds me of the Depression (or was it pre-Depression?) era in the US, when chicken was a delicacy and a politician ran on the slogan "A Chicken in Every Pot." Maybe Aunt is known for her wonderful chicken recipe. Or maybe they thought Mrs. Hen was performing some self-steaming act and wanted to rush home to see it.

I did feel a little bad that Aunt yelled at her though. She deserved to be scolded. That woman has a lot of nerve! Does she do any of the housework? If it upset her that much to lose at cards, why was she so eager to play for money, unless she thought Aunt was an easy mark-then shame on her. And she expects Aunt to play again? Fooey. Was it $50? All I heard was $3, so I wondered what the big deal was. Father was too kind to offer her some of his chicken. Maybe it was a special treat because there was so much meat to go with their regular dishes of vegetables and rice. ? (just a guess)

This woman is so annoying. She stuffs her mouth as though it's her last meal, though chicken, in America, is a very inexpensive meal. If I were her, I'd be out looking for work to pay for room and board rather than borrowing money or playing cards. Obviously, she plans to stay there forever, hoping that the Dad there will marry her.
Her following Grandpa and Aunt, then revealing their fondness for eachother, was uncalled for. I think that Aunt seems to tolerate her because of her friendship with Grandpa. I'm so happy for them. Grandpa has given Aunt a new joy in life.

Chicken is not any rare delicacy in Korea, either. I mean, I haven't lived there, but I have read peoples' food blogs, for example, and chicken is thought of pretty much the same over there as it is here. So she's just a piggie.

Like Mi-rung in YH, she has this compulsion to steal food that would be gladly given to her if she only asked.

She seems to be a hustler, working everybody for money. Now to why she's there and why they put up with her. Wasn't it brought out that she lived with them before, as a housekeeper? Something about living with them after her divorce from her husband, pre Mrs.Hen.
