Edit: I haven't played the revamp yet, it's unzipping now. Based on the old version:

I believe she also said she was using it as a way to get out of our her Father's control in a way he couldn't stop. I could be wrong, but I thought it was during the hotel conversation on the business trip.

Also, when Kim recounts the story of what her father did to her sister's boyfriend... it was not pleasant. If I was in her shoes, I'd be worried/concerned about MC's wellbeing. Her father seems to have possible international-reach dubious connections (triad? organized crime?) and clearly has no qualms with significant violence against a person.
According to her....yes...

If you believe her....she hardly shown herself to be a reliable narrator or open with the truth.

You are right, it is possible.

It just seems like an odd story to invent; if she didn't want to date the MC wouldn't it be easier to just break up with him? Right up until she decided to leave, there was no inkling given in the story she was anything other than very, very happy. Then, out of the blue and with no real reason given, she breaks up with him and returns home. Then: 1) returns back to the same town for work; 2) tells a pretty detailed backstory about how controlling and violent her father is; and 3) tries to express remorse over the mistake in how she handled everything.

I mean, anything is really possible... but to me it's stretching the limits of a story I'd be willing to buy. If she really wanted to leave him and go back home, why would she have accepted the business trip to the MCs town? Did she think she'd be able to avoid him? The company she worked for would have been able to send another person in her place if she didn't want to go.

And coming back to the same town...with the same company...why would her father now assume she has no interest in the MC given she was sooooooo worried about him originally? So from this, we can logically deduce one of two things:

1. She full of shit.
2. Her father is not some triad boss who fucks up all men interested in his daughters.

There's a reason I call Kim's dad "Evil Samsung dad." She makes him sound like he's Triad/Yakuza (I'm not sure what the equivalent will be in Korea) and has all kinds of reach.

If you're scared for your partner's life, and run back home to keep them safe, you do not return to them years later if you haven't done anything to remove the threat. There's either more to it or bad storytelling, and I do not think Chaq is a bad storyteller.

It's definitely left me really thinking, when I did Kim's playthrough. There's a lot of questions.

Either:
  1. this is some really weird, intricate, and elaborate hoax/lie by Kim. The only question is why? And then why return years later? I haven't, as of yet, seen any hints or foreshadowing in her story that that's the case. ; or
  2. There is something real in her fear of her father.
Option 2 is far less convoluted and complex. Option 1 has way too many places for something in a fabricated story to go wrong. It just doesn't make sense that she'd organize this huge lie, just to leave or get away from the MC, and then come back, on purpose or inadvertently, years later.

It's just my mind, but my headcanon is that Kim was able to keep MC out of her father's notice while they were dating. He somehow caught wind of it, and that's when the threats from the father started. You can kind of see where her personality starts to change in the story, going from looking/acting happy, to much more reserved and pulled back as she's getting ready to leave.

There's a reason I call Kim's dad "Evil Samsung dad." She makes him sound like he's Triad/Yakuza (I'm not sure what the equivalent will be in Korea) and has all kinds of reach.

If I remember correctly, didn't Kim's retelling say that she wasn't coming back for the MC. I thought she said she took any posting outside Korea and away from her father. She only realized it once it was closer to actually leaving where it was. I could be misremembering this as I haven't done her playthrough in a long while.

I'll have to do her playthrough now, just to confirm I'm remembering it all correctly. As all of this could be completely wrong in my mind...

I believe you are right here but can you trust her? Granted, I don't think she could do enough prep to discover the MC happens to work for the same company. It's not like I can pull up a roster of everyone that works for a company unless it's smaller in scope. Plus, the MC got moved to that supervisor position as a way of plot/fate.

Still, fuck Kim. Actually, don't. Fuck anyone else and leave Kim to her own devices. There are too many other amazing women in this to get caught up in plots with Evil Samsung Dad. Hell, if you're into Kims, there is Kimberley. It's like Chaq knew some of us would resent Kim and provided an out.

I just started playing. I've seen where y'all say Kim comes back. So. My question is. Does she come back with a kid under her arm? Inquiring minds want to know! Thanks. LoL
