Goo Se-ra from Memorials/Into the Ring. The Garden Tiger Moth threw her hat in the ring for a paycheck but ended up fighting for the people. While she may not have racked up many wins, she left her mark, inspiring the people around her.
Kim Eun-joo from My Unfamiliar Family. Big Noona was a polarizing character, but I loved her for her complexity. She could have been no more than the typical Ice Queen – distant, harsh, lacking sympathy – but a loving, resentful, sometimes irrational, deeply human heart beat inside. I still want a spin-off with Min-woo and a happier but no less sharp-tongued, Eun-joo.
Honorable Mentions:
Kim Eun-hee from My Unfamiliar Family
Jung Geum-ja from Hyena
Go Ha-Neul from Black Dog
I think one of my only regrets with MUF is that we didn’t get more Min-woo time, though it made sense because EJ’s arc was not about him. But that spin-off would be wonderful.
I loved Eunjoo’s and Eunhee’s interactions 💚 Like at the beginning, when Eunhee sticks by Eunjoo when she sees her going through a hard time, and then when they’re in bed and Eunhee keeps on nagging for intel and cuddling unnie. And the moments they gang up against maknae are pure family gold 🤣

I love your two choices. I loved far more Big Noona than Small Noona, even if the latter was supposed to be the kinder character.

Big Noona was my favourite female character in MUF – so much more layered and interesting than the others!
