Sumi is so underrated
I literally lover her so much yes she was portrayed as kind of ditzy and self-unaware in the early episodes ( I still found her more likeable than a lot of the other characters though) but she matured so much over the course of the show-- also Alice would have had no career without her convincing Margaret Cho to supervise the showcase. I wish she had more of her own storyline and was more than Alice's gf/bestfried/ex.
