* PoorCommunicationKills: Young-goon's eating disorder can largely be blamed for this: she told her mother that she thought she was a cyborg when she was younger, which she misunderstood to be something shameful, and while she is fine with it, she tells her not to let anyone else know, thinking that people hearing that her daughter has something wrong with her will negatively affect her business. As a result, Young-goon is reclutant to tell to anyone why she refuses to eat, making it difficult for the doctors to figure out why she refuses to eat and are ultimately forced to forcefeed her until she reveals the truth to Il-soon who comes up with a solution.
