IONTBO ep 11
I really have a lot of admiration for the very consistent behaviour that the writers (and the actress) have gone with for portrayal of Ko Mun-Yeong. She’s stayed true to the woman we met at the beginning: honest to her feelings, demanding of Gang-Tae’s time and affection, calling out bullshit when she sees it, and treating Sang-Tae with the same shrewdness as she would anyone else — refusing to give him a pass in the name of autism. Even as she softens, it is really just that: softening but never bending into another form. She never misses an opportunity to express her defiant quirkiness and I love it!
“Pay for my meal too!”
I died laughing.
So when at the end, she says she wants a brother like him, watching him with a deep frown in her brow, looking legit pissed off, I believe her. I believe it all. Its not just that she’s trying to get on his good side. She’s genuinely not happy that he refuses her into their brotherly circle — Sang-tae’s circle. And I love all the raw emotion on her face, the petulance even. She’s sharp, never minces her words, not even with Sang-Tae and I’m her for it!
Bless her consistency and the beautiful performance actress Seo Ye-Ji is gracing us with. It’s sublime!
At the beginning when she was in bed and yelling at Kang-tae – he told her to count to 3 – and you could see her relax just through her subtle facial expressions.
She is truly amazing in this show.
I’m not sure who I love more. Ko Moon Young or Seo Ye Ji. 😅 I agree with everything that you have said. I hope the last few episodes do not jinx what I am about to say but KMY is probably one of the best written characters ever. And SYJ is simply breathtaking as KMY. She makes me feel all the different emotions that her character is going through, thanks in large part to the rawness of SYJ’s acting. Props also to the PD, writer, stylist, and makeup artist for just thinking of everything and helping give us this character.
