Mija is one of the only female villains (alongside Yong and Ring Ring) to appear in Netflix's Pucca: Love Recipe. She is the ex-girlfriend of Casano and calls any man she "loves" as her darling.
Her main goal is keeping her collection of "darlings". She has some degree of strength since she's able to carry off and kidnap the men, including Garu.
Biography[]
Mija first appears in A Scary Woman. At first glance, she appears like a harmless tourist. However, a huge hint of her dark side is shown, like when she becomes visibly angry at Pucca for accidentally knocking her down. She's angered for "being ignored", but she lets it go. She came to Sooga Island with a purpose: to find her ex-boyfriend, revealed to be Casano.
Casano sensed her approach and became immediately fearful, instantly hiding. Fyah and the other chefs tried to kick her out, though she took some of their actions the wrong way. She called Fyah a pervert for touching her shoulder without permission, then proceeded to beat up the chefs for getting in her way. Upon finding Casano, she ties him up and kidnaps him.
She confronts him about dumping her, assuming he cheated on her, though he most likely left her due to her jealous and possessive nature. Feeling cornered, he reveals his crush on Pucca. This provokes her to go in search for the girl, though she had no idea that she ran into Pucca earlier already.
While searching, she smells the aroma from the Goh-Rong Restaurant. She then immediately approaches Uncle Dumpling and becomes infatuated with him. He at first is surprised by her boldness and asks her to leave. She, however, quickly charms him and the two spend a "date" on the beach.
It’s then she slips that she forgot she was looking for Pucca. Uncle Dumpling makes the mistake of mentioning he knows Pucca. Mija doesn't wait and believes he's "in love" with Pucca. She kidnaps Uncle Dumpling and leaves him with Casano on her boat. She becomes distracted from her mission again and charms Officer Bruce.
She also becomes infatuated by Garu, during his fight with Tobe. She becomes determined to "add" him to her collection. She then ties up Bruce and leaves him with Casano and Dumpling; whom become successful at untying their ropes. Though she doesn't know it, she threatens that she'll "punish" them if they make her angry. She then proceeds to kidnap Garu.
With Dumpling and Garu missing, the remaining staff send Pucca out to look for them. She meets up with Ching and Abyo. Ching reveals someone said they saw Bruce with Mija on a "date" at the docks, with Abyo being surprised to hear that.
The trio eventually catch up to Mija before she hurts them. When she realizes who Pucca is, she attempts to fight her. But Mija is literally no match for an enraged Pucca. Pucca defeats Mija and frees the men. However, Mija still attempts to go after her "darling" Casano.
She hasn’t made another appearance since that episode, but it is assumed that Pucca scared her off the island or sent her "flying" off it.
Appearance[]
Mija has curly black hair, a pretty face and a mole above her lip.
Personality[]
At first glance, Mija appears friendly, charming and a flirt, but beware her jealous side. She is possessive and a stalker, which is the sole reason why her ex-boyfriend left her.
Trivia[]
- Although Mija is clearly a stalker, Mija was the first love interest for Uncle Dumpling and Officer Bruce.
- Mija is never seen after A Scary Woman so her fate is never really known, but there is a possibility that:
- She left Sooga Island.
- She was chased off by Pucca (or sent off).
- She was incarcerated (imprisoned or confined).
