“She stepped into her own voice and power in the series,” Kim says. “And she won.”
, that’s because it is. But the series, like its characters, gets more enlightening the more it leans into that mess. It is that intersection of queerness and East Asian culture that reveals how navigating two worlds — the personal and the communal — can turn into a soul-crushing experience unless you choose yourself.No character exemplifies how excruciating that duality can be better than Yuri, played by Gia Kim.
Kim tells me she immediately gravitated toward Yuri’s character during auditions. Of all the characters in the show, it felt like Yuri had the most at stake, and yet, she’s the one who comes out knowing herself better than anyone else because she learns how to demand the love and respect she deserves.Yuri’s ability to break free from her parents’ expectations toward the end of the series mirrors aspects of Kim’s life.
Although I’ve always admired and respected people who can navigate complicated social dynamics in such a careful way, pretending that much sounds exhausting as hell. Although confrontation can be uncomfortable and very scary, it is the first step toward growth. The only way out is through, and it’s something both Yuri and Kim eventually realized, too.
One day, Kim says, she finally decided she was going to pursue acting. She says it took her about three tries to change careers, but once she did, her parents had no choice but to accept and support her ambitions, too. “The most challenging and important thing in my life is to want the people I love to love me for who I am and who I really want to be,” Kim says. “And not who they want me to be.”
Kim understands she is one of very few representations of gay, South Korean women in American media right now. But the power of her character doesn’t just stem from the fact that she’s representing a new type of character . That power also lies in the depth of a character who, although defensive and tough, ultimately cares about what others think and feel. And although that vulnerability is beautiful, it becomes self-sabotage when it comes at the expense of your own needs and freedom.
