Can we give Zoey a good dad for once? Like problematic in his own way like all parents are but he's not a terrible dad just a normal person. Ish.
Image of Zoey's parents getting together and having her very young (Say 19-20, married idiot age), and then the difficulties of life actually sort of setting in, the divorce, betrayal, fighting etc etc and joint custody with Zoey spending her US sanctioned vacations in Korea with her dad and spending the rest of the time in the USA with her mom.
All this to say: Zoey's dad who has a job.
He's had the same job since his army days, so he jokes. He goes where he's told to go, wears what he's told to wear, looks how he's told to look, and looks nice doing it.
Or where Zoey's dad is totally a male model and has been her whole life which she can't really brag about in the US but in Korea she's probably been in at least three dozen stalker magazine or fan blogs since she was little in the 'oh my GOD look at him he's such a dedicated DAD' way that's just him walking with her in the street.
Zoey calls him in an overwhelmed/overstimulated panic after her first attempt at a photo shoot with her girls asking how he deals with the lights/heat/makeup etc.
There's many tips interspersed with her step-mother's helpful 'he doesn't' comments.
'He doesn't'
'He bitches a lot'
'He's lucky he's pretty because he complains'
'We honestly have to bribe him with pokemon cards sometimes'
(Zoey's step-mom the hairstylist. She may have had to openly tell Zoey's dad she was interested and asking him on a date before he got it but he got it)
((Secondary side image: Zoey says something about her mother and her father lights up.
Stepmother, holding up her hand: "Is it going to be a comment about 'my hellhound ex' or a comment about 'the woman who gave me the most beautiful and precious gift a man could ever ask for in my most amazing daughter who I love more than anything'?"
Zoey's dad making a face: "I'll tell you later."
Stepmother: "I'll react accordingly later."
Zoey, torn between amusement and what the hell))
