On season three episode seven of 2 Broke Girls, Han’s mother was featured in it because she came to the United States and wanted to know about Han’s girlfriend. The truth is Han doesn’t have a girlfriend but he doesn’t want to disappoint his family so he had to lie to his mom. Han thinks of himself as the star of his family, and I can see where that comes from because he is quite successful as an immigrant by having his own diner. However, since Han lied to his mother so he asked Max and Caroline for help because he needs a girl friend before his mother appears. Han found a girl on the website and that girl happens to be a prostitute but Han doesn’t know that from the website so Max and Caroline helped Han by asking the girl, Sapphire, to pretend to be his girlfriend when his mother comes.
Han’s mother,
Mrs.Lee, appears to be a very traditional Asian woman and Max and Caroline recognizes
her as Han’s mother when she stepped into the diner because they dress the same
way. Han’s mother is seen as traditional because she doesn’t like how Max dresses
so revealing so she always give Max a look when Max talk to her. Mrs. Lee
thinks Han’s girlfriend is so amazing and she thinks it’s perfect match for Han
because Sapphire is super Christian.
I think Mrs. Lee is
a reflection of most Asian American mother who wanted their children to find
someone who has same tradition and customs as them. Mrs.Lee likes Sapphire
because she thinks Sapphire is super religious and obedient but she didn’t know
that everything was fake. However, there is twist towards the end of the episode.
When Mrs. Lee finds out about the truth she also reveals to Han that she was
divorced with Han’s father.
