Minsup

Is it me or is Minsup an alcoholic? I mean the guy goes out drinking every single night (sometimes afternoon) and he even had to go to sleep on his nephew's bed since he drank so much before eating.

Sniff..sniff...it was sweet of him to take his Momma some pork though, although he could have persuaded her to go with him...she's kind of a tragic character.

Maybe less than five weeks. I just read something on KBS's English site last week, and I think they're six weeks ahead of us over in Korea.

We're getting into the "too much information" gray area here, IMO.

Oh sure. I'm no expert, but look at the details of his behavior; he drinks beer and says it isn't "real" alcohol, just a drink that makes you feel good. He doesn't eat, just drinks. And he's often on the prowl for more drinks, even in a drinking situation. I wonder if they're going to develop this or just leave it where it is; after all, he's been acting like this through the whole series but they haven't made an issue of it. Then again, as we've said before, "MPC" has touched on some problematic facets of life in Korea before, and perhaps at some point they're going to take up the idea of alcoholism.

Hey I liked that quote. A good excuse to continue to look for my HK flask or to make a pink furry jacket/holder for one I may or may not purchase.
