Or did they?
I'm going to blame the series' random order, and the initial boredom that made me feel so as to not pay close enough attention until I finally got more interested... Because I didn't know how Gus Fring's daughter (the actress's mom is obviously Korean in real life) came to be someone who spoke fluent Korean.
They said (or implied) in the green ep that she was adopted by a Korean family.
Thank you!
Still seems a little stretched though. Adopted at that age and took on the family's name (Kim)? OK, I guess that's fine, but erasing her past name is a bit much IMHO.
But more vexing—We "see" her Korean-ness (the actor's Korean-ness), which then adds up to the wacky effect as if, once the Korean family adopted her, she 1) learned Korean 2) took a Korean family name, AND 3) started looking physically Korean!
I was expecting the mother to be Korean as well because when Leo got out of jail Ava told him that Hannah was adopted by a Korean family. I thought she mentioned that because the mother was Korean and he would have been happy that she grew up with Korean culture. Of course, she could have been adopted by Leo and his wife to begin with, possibly?
shareThat was strange. The adult actress is clearly part Asian part black, but the child wasn't, and the character's biological parents were both black. It makes no sense.
