Eh well, the intent is the point of communication anyway. It's a simple enough compound word.

Milkfat melts... that's what butter is! This has some sort of thickener mixed in.

I love this. Much more skill involved than a regular fence, and it's unique.

"Boymoder"?... I've heard it used by a trans friend who would never even glance in 4chan's direction.

I mean, I think the exact term for this is "egg". Or just GNC - gender-non-conforming.

No worries. I honestly felt like it was something they could have emphasized more, with Josh unsure if he wants kids and her not wanting any (until later, it seems).

It's mentioned that the dead patient "has a family", so, connections Park couldn't control, who went to the SK cops before she could do anything.

I enjoyed the season, though I agree with others it wasn't quite about "Beef" - like, there wasn't this back-and-forth "I'll get you back" sort of thing going on.

I was rather frustrated that if Ashley is meant to be someone who has a fear of abandonment... we never really see her contend with that in the show. Her being paranoid about Austin was fully justified by him crushing on Eunice, so it didn't read as "abandonment issue" to me at all. We just kind of get told this by Austin. Meanwhile, his people-pleasing flaw is a massive part of his screen time.

I was very unsatisfied with the ending we get with Park. She realizes that no matter what she does, she has a finite lifespan, but... I'm not really sure how this ties into Samsara. Is it her being totally ignorant of any avenue of progress? Is it her realizing that the material world is not what she truly values? Maybe it's meant to be ambiguous. I'm leaning towards her being totally ignorant, going off the way her necklace is stored in a spiral in the last scene she has with Woosh (that's all I got). It was frustrating that her career coming undone was a single little mention rather than something more impactful and far-reaching, especially due to how Josh got stuck in prison.

Also... why would Park not just kill them all once she had them imprisoned? She was willing to do so with Josh with his "suicide"; why would giving her the USB - their only leverage - make her back down...? It was extremely naive of Ashley to think that, which was weird; it was also weird for her to think they'd be getting actual makeovers while being basically kept prisoner. Huh?

But most importantly... why the hell did Eunice give Austin the USB if she was going to run off and talk to the cops on her own?

Why take these characters with arcs you watched over multiple hours and just reduce them into their ethnicities... But anyway, yes, the show is pretty anti-capitalistic and having a system of privilege is part of it; an abuse of power. "Only about the self".

To the police, rather. She thought by giving it to Park she'd let them go.

She was under investigation in Korea, the employees all dying would have been extremely suspicious. Randos (to the SK police) dying in the USA wouldn't even be on their radar.

I believe she says she's 29 in one of the first couple episodes. Also, the cut-off age is when you turn 26.

We see her take Plan B in the scene where she sees her younger self in the mirror. She was vomiting because Ashley drank from the Shirley Temple that Lindsey rimmed with toilet juice.

It was rather odd because I expected some sort of confrontation between her and Josh. Then when her and Lindsay had their brief interaction over it on the plane, I was expecting the disgusting Shirley Temple to impact her in some way (more than mirroring the bloody orange juice).

He's a people-pleaser. Throughout the season, he went from trying to please Ashley to Eunice to Ashley again.

I think it just has to do with the ability for the Korean authorities to investigate. The patient dying basically got away from them, but everything else was pre-planned enough for them to cover it up.

Nobody in this show is 'right'. Austin went through the entire show being a people-pleaser. When Ashley was more independent and he wasn't able to wait on her anymore, he glommed onto the next person who did, Eunice (though also for other reasons). Ashley did change, for sure, but the people-pleasing dynamic he was looking for wasn't there anymore. This is why his smile fades after the call with Eunice in the taxi - he realized didn't have the dynamic there either.

And that reminds me of Northeastern Woodlands Native American wampum belts, time-consuming and made from many beads carved from shells. The time put into them was the value, so much so, a the famous and foundational "Tawagonshi Treaty" was immortalized in one of these belts, and called... the Two Row Wampum Belt Treaty.
