question about Michill

[Jay Y.]

I'm unclear on something about Michill. Was she working as a prostitute in the earlier episodes? Or was she working as a high class escort, where she was just earning money by dating men but not having sex with them? Or was it somewhere in between?

And was her job as an escort her own personal business or did she work for an agency? I ask because in episode one, Ilhan's uncle ordered a date with Michill for Ilhan, from what I remember looking in a phone book.

She was working as an escort. I remember her calling somebody wh made the arrangements for her.

I gather from this show and some others that since Koreans defer marriage until late in favor of building their career, there is a need to hire someone of the opposite sex for social appearances.

'Dal-ja's Spring' is based on the same premise.
