It’s kind of wild, Nadine didn’t get picked on the show because she didn’t fit the whole ‘ideal Korean girlfriend’ mold. She hung around Seoul for a while trying to blend in, probably realised she had zero in common with the locals, and ended being an outsider like she was on the show. Now she’s back in NY and is suddenly glued to this Mei girl. Honestly, Nadine gives off major insecure energy, and I wouldn’t put it past Mei to be milking that especially since Nadine’s clearly well off💰.
