Ki-jung – the facts are she’s the baby in the family, and she does sometimes come off as the most adventurous and progressive, but also very realistic out of the four Kim family members.  But in reality, she’s very saddening, sometimes, and very heart-aching, because the amount of tests and exams, and the cuts that she didn’t make.  She seems like someone who’d never complain about it: Her only outlet was the little pouch that she hid on top of the toilet, with the cigarette case and the money.  But she is definitely someone who would never talk to other people about her problems, and in that sense that’s why it was heartbreaking, because she felt that her only outlet was that cigarette box and nothing else.    But when Ki-jung starts going to the rich house, and takes on the role of Jessica, it was very cathartic as someone who was playing that role, because she was finally able to utilise every single skill that she had, and finally was able to use the tools that she’s been wanting to, but was never given the platform to do so.

But you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life. That there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there; like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I’m talking about?

“The time has come to make a choice, Mr. Anderson. Either you choose to be at your desk on time from this day forth, or you choose to find yourself another job. Do I make myself clear?”

“I mean if Neo’s The One, then there’d have to be some kind of a miracle to stop me. Right? I mean how can he be The One if he’s dead? You never did answer me before if you bought into Morpheus’ bullshit – come on – all I want is a little yes or no. Look into his eyes, those big pretty eyes. Tell me. Yes or no?”

“Yes.” (the matrix / 1999)
