Not Others was started on the 17th of July, 2023, airing every Monday and Tuesday. The series was an adaptation of the webtoon Namnam, written by Jeong Young Ryong. It’s a blend of comedy, romance, mystery, and drama.
South Korean television series Not Others revolves around Eun Mi, a single parent who raised her daughter, Jin Hee, as a teen herself. She has grown into a woman working at a police station and Eun Mi at physical therapy.
They love and care for each other, but it doesn’t stop them from bickering over anything. Following a mystery and unidentified people’s entrance into their lives, their life takes a new turn.
Let’s Catch Up With Episode 11 of Not Others
The 11th episode started with everybody being worried about Eun Mi’s critical condition while in the operation center. But the operation was successful, and she was fine.
After the operation, Jin Hoong looked after Eun Mi well and didn’t let Jin Hee do much of the work. Some of Jin Hee’s teammates got a special promotion.
A senior man visited the station, but nobody was familiar with him. He sat there, observed Jin Hee, asked her age, and left. Later, she and Jae Won got a call from headquarters. Jae Won was asked to keep an eye on Jin Hee, and on the other hand, Jin Hee was asked to stay away from Jae Won.
She learned that two seniors had visited them when she returned to the station, but as Jin Hee had joined later, she was unfamiliar with them. And she discovered from Tae Kyung about their relationship with Jae Won and what happened to him.
When Eun Mi and Jin Hee were about to go out for lunch, Jin Hoong’s parents came. They told Hoong to invite them to a family dinner. Later, Ji Eun went to meet Jin Hee at home and asked her to request Eun Mi and Jin Hoong to get married.
On a dinner night, Jin Hoong’s parents kept embarrassing everyone by deciding, basically forcing what Jin Hee should do. They continued their stubborn behavior, so Jin Hee and Eun Mi left first, followed by Jin Hoong and Ji Eun.
They later learned that Jin Hee’s grandparents did a DNA test, which left Jin Hoong and Eun Mi speechless. Eun Mi was mad at Jin Hee for not telling this to her. So, she kicked her out of the house.
Jin Hee met Jae Won, and they had a drink. Jae Won told her about how he observed every moment of her. When Jin Hee went home, she thought Eun Mi would not let her enter, but to her surprise, nothing like that happened.
They made with each other. Later, Jin Hee headed to Jae Won’s place. And she straightforwardly asked him if he liked her. He replied yes to her question, which she already doubted about.

Our Verdict
The series has nothing spicy in it. Instead, it deals with the bond between a single mother and a daughter. It shows daily life problems, keeping it simple, regular, and not going over the boundaries.
Even though police were involved in it, there’s nothing too serious or thrilling happening in the series. Not Others was about how a high scholar girl got pregnant and bore the burden of raising a child on her own.
The duo of mother-daughter was something to excite you to watch the series. They were more like allies with one another. They were at ease with one another, which resulted in more direct and open communication. Their way of dealing with their life and their authenticity amazed the audience.
This episode also showed Jin Hee was mature about her situation and prepared herself for everything coming her way. She realized that the accident of Eun Mi getting stabbed hit her hard. She went from neglecting her mother to a full-on overprotective one.
Even Eun Mi was ready to get married for the sake of her daughter as she was worried if something happened to her, Jin Hee would be left alone. So, she thought of getting married, and Jin Hee might get support from her grandparents.
The hype among the audience was to see Sooyoung as Jin Hee and Sunghoon as Jae Won together. And they didn’t disappoint. The understanding and maturity between them really helped them a lot. Even the relationship between Eun Mi and Jin Hoong unexpectedly turned out well.
In short, there was not much procedure in the 11th episode, but the relationship between Jin Hee and Jae Won definitely went to the next step.
I will give 4 out of 5 to the 11th episode of Not Others.
