) but it's because 'romantic' implications or not (which sadly probably aren't LOL 
), I think her pure sweet simplicity, and Korean influence brings something nice and her interaction with the fugitive prince is something I found unexpectedly and beautifully sincere after a while...even if I was kinda apprehensive about her in the beginining. I think even as a character on her own she works well...Or maybe it's just because she reminds me of another charming korean anime character named "Dae Jang Geum"...who knows.
) by others before. I couldn't stop myself from drawin it some time after I got giddy from seeing "Cave of Two Lovers" and I shamelessly LOOOOVE Joseon period Korean art brushstrokes OMG.

Think about it. Throughout Season 1 you'd think that there are only "Chinese" and some "Japanese" people in the Earth Kingdom. And then in Season 2, you find two "Koreans" (Song and her mom) and an "Indian" (Guru Pathik).
So, are there other "Koreans" and "Indians" out there somewhere in the Earth Kingdom? And as a bonus question: Are there also other "ethnicities"? IDK, maybe some "Arabs"?
If you think about it, the Fire Nation is pretty similar to Japan in shape and culture (though not necessarily clothing style); and the Earth Kingdom is pretty similar to China in the aspect that, due to its size, is made of some other ethnicities besides the Chinese. Like, Korea is connected to China, so very far northeast, the clothing and culture becomes more similar. Guru Pathik, could be "Indian" since there's the possibility that he came from "India," since from what we've seen of the Airbenders, they seem to be more "Tibetan" and Guru Pathik didn't really mention (or did he? I can't actually remember) if he traveled to the Air Temple. As for Arabs, you might recall the Sandbenders in one of the episodes before the gAang reached Ba Sing Se, and in China, there are also Muslim groups. So, yeah, you could say that the Earth Kingdom is more diverse than one immediately thinks.
So, I hope that kind of helps answer your question, and that you haven't been totally bored by the end of the second paragraph.
It wasn't so much confusing as it was really badly executed. Lots of bad decisions were made. For one thing, it kind of annoyed me how all the main characters (Aang, Sokka, and Katara) were played by white actors, and while everybody in the Fire Nation were played by Indians. It doesn't make much sense to me, and it's kind of egotistical of the director, too. Also, in forcing the Fire Nation to carry around fire instead of being able to make it severely weakens the Fire Nation. Sure, the director said he was trying to put everybody on a more even playing field, but that really just makes it really easy to beat the Fire Nation.
