Korean. Fluency in English is required. Soojin is introspective and sensitive. In the wake of her mother's potential illness she is grappling with death, Korean identity, loneliness, and the underlying feeling that she may not have lived up to her mother's expectations.
Korean. Soojin's mother. Stubborn, blunt, and slightly judgemental. She is currently in the hospital awaiting test results, but she is still able bodied and appears mostly healthy. She is sick of the monotony and blandness of being stuck in the hospital.
Korean. Soojin's Halmoni. Gentle, tender, patient, grandmotherly. The ghost of Soojin's Halmoni appears and helps her cook the sundubu-jjigae.
