Hwang Chun Ja's family


- Yun Bun Hong (Seo Ji Hye)

Twenty-three year old Yun Bun Hong is the daughter of Madam Hwang who owns a tacky Karaoke shop called “Blossoming Rose At Night”. She is a sassy island girl with a very cheerful personality full of emotions of happiness and tears. Although she has a great personality, she is not a very smart girl when it comes to school and she did not grow up in a harmonious family environment either. She never made it to the top of her class (out of 40 students, never ranked above 40). While all her friends left the island to go to college or work, she never once thought about going to college because she was never book smart. Whenever she gets hired for a job, it only last for a few months because all the places she has worked at either goes bankrupt or gets burnt down from fire. She was never able to work at a company for a long period of time due to accidents occurring. Quitting her previous job, she enrolled into a nursing academy. Now she works at a health center as a nurse’s aide/assistant. Being born at a lake, her interests are swimming, cutting fish and making spicy (fish) strew. Her hobby is to go to a dock at dawn and watch the fish auction. She knows all the names of fishes and is the best at taking care of fishes. She lives with a thoughtless and immature mother, who she always fights with. However, inside her heart, she feels sad and pitiful for her mother. She’s the only one that understands her mother the best. She may appear to look shameless due to her courageous appearance, but she is weak and spiritless as well.

- Hwang Chun Ja (Go Doo Shim)


She is Bun Hong’s mother. She manages the “Blossoming Rose At Night” karaoke shop. She was very pretty when she was young, but now she is old and has wrinkles on her face. She wears make-up (which makes her look like a crow), a Miss Korea wig and a long dress. No one knows how old she actually is, except for Bun Hong. Her life motto is “I will dig up my own grave”. She lives her life as a reckless troublemaker and has probably dug up many graves to make her own cemetery (I’m guessing she has butt into other people’s business and got herself into no good). Although she is reckless, she has a deep heart and has a charming side to her, which makes her a loving woman that nobody can hate! As a love supremacist, she is always thirsty for love even when she has had bad relationships with men when she was young. She probably has the same amount of bad and good points about herself. She is an awesome singer when it comes to singing trot (old folk) songs! With her loud voice and friendly personality, she is very good at smooth talking and she is so articulate with her words that she talks better than a lawyer!
