I wish kdramas featured more “senior/elderly” characters that aren’t generic stock roles that vanish later on. Halmoni in Matrimonial Chaos is EXCEPTIONALLY INCREDIBLE. She’s wise but not in the “regularly generic” kdrama fashion. Instead she stands her ground, is patient and dishes out wisdom based on experience. Most of all though she’s just such a genuine person, full of life and never really detached from her family, her values nor her emotions. The last time I loved an elder was in the brilliant Dear My Friends

    I believe “My Ahjusshi” and “Suits” had a halmoni character like this 🙂

      I haven’t watched My Ahjusshi yet – definitely will though and whilst I enjoyed grandma’s performance in Suits she wasn’t an integral character T_T. I’ve seriously got to watch My Ahjusshi though.

    Such an amazing character. I loved how liberal she was and how genuine she was.
    This piece of writing about the color pencils really touched me.

    Halmoni was fantastic.

    This scene and the line about the colored pencils was equally great.
