Penny: terminó la preparatoria y encuentra que su paso por ella fue irrelevante. Tenía amigos, sus calificaciones eran buenas y tuvo un novio, pero esa relación no significó gran cosa.

My Korean Mom is a bittersweet love letter from Mary H. K. Choi to her mother that hopes to convey the frustration, shame, loyalty, and searing adoration that's part and parcel of being the kid of an immigrant.

And to find out if doing recreational drugs as a bored adult is the key to staying young or if this is the worst, most embarrassing and irresponsible idea ever.

Twelve years and countless jobs and dates and a bajillion dollars in rent later, she'd finally had enough.

Dos hermanas que no se soportan, pero que harán lo que sea por salvarse mutuamente. Jayne y June Baek no se parecen en nada. June es la primogénita, una sabelotodo con un demandante trabajo y un departamento igual de frío que ella (según Jayne). Por otro lado, Jayne es un manojo de nervios narcisista con mal gusto para elegir a sus novios y (si le preguntas a June) necesita dejar de gastarse el dinero de sus padres. Antes eran inseparables; ahora no quieren relacionarse para nada. Pero cuando a June le diagnostican cáncer, la única que puede ayudarla es Jayne.
