A Chance Encounter by the River: Kim Hee-jung Recalls Life's Crossroads and Meeting Jung Min-ah

In a video containing the character narratives of the drama 'Mom Has Gone Crazy', a scene appears where Kim Hee-jung recalls a desperate moment from her past and her first meeting with Jung Min-ah.

The night she let go of the will to live, an encounter by the river

According to the video released on the KBS Drama channel, Kim Hee-jung revealed her desperate state of mind in the past, where her parents had passed away early and she had nowhere to go and nowhere she wanted to go. Kim Hee-jung recalled that she had never resented her biological parents who passed away early as much as she did that night, conveying the precarious situation at the time through remarks to the effect that she no longer wanted to live, so she had nowhere to go and nothing she wanted to do.

At that time, Kim Hee-jung was staying by the river late at night, and in the process, she encounters Jung Min-ah. Looking at the situation in the video, Jung Min-ah discovers Kim Hee-jung alone and approaches her, asking, "Baby, why are you alone?" Jung Min-ah advises her to come down quickly, saying it is dangerous to go into the river at night, while Kim Hee-jung shows resistance, replying that she is fine and to not mind. Jung Min-ah shows herself taking care of Kim Hee-jung, asking why a young child is being left to wander alone. Jung Min-ah shows herself looking after the child by asking Kim Hee-jung, who says she is hungry, if she has eaten dinner.

The meeting with Jung Min-ah that changed the trajectory of life

Through Kim Hee-jung's remarks in the video, circumstances are confirmed that if she had not met Jung Min-ah by the river at that time, her life or death might have been uncertain. Regarding that meeting, Kim Hee-jung mentioned, "If I hadn't met Jung Min-ah that day, I wouldn't be a person in this world," suggesting that the accidental encounter with Jung Min-ah became a turning point in her life at that time.

This drama is a work dealing with the turbulent family growth story that unfolds as a mother who lived for her family all her life and a mother who lived for herself, and the children of the two mothers, become intertwined. The released video highlights the decisive moment when the connection between Kim Hee-jung and Jung Min-ah began among the narratives experienced by characters such as Jung Min-ah, Dong Ha, Kim Hee-jung, Kang Kyung-hun, Kim Young-ok, and Yang Hee-kyung.
