Loveable characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
The book follows a homophobic mother trying to understand her lesbian daughter. While it does offer a representation of South-Korean society that I appreciated (although it is not in a positive lighting), I really did not need the pov of a homophobe (and sexist too). I expected the book to be from the pov of the daughter
