this is another one of my major concerns as well, but i wanted to give it a while more in the hope that there’ll be a damn good reason for adding such a seemingly unnecessary, extreme detail. otherwise, i just don’t get how someone with the kind of education and work experience that Imlie does right now can’t clinch an adequately paying job. it makes no sense to me that she’s struggling to bring even one meal home.
the only reason I can think is to try draw out sympathy for imlie and what a sad situation she is in. maybe that works for some viewers but for some, it will not. like ranijain pointed out, it just makes imlie look very inept and that she can't survive without aryan. it looks like imlie does not have what it takes to survive on her own and therefore, her words of 'girl power' is just words. not a good look for a female lead. 🤷
