'Wishing for Lee Do-hyun' Ahn Eun-jin returned as a character wearing clothes that fit her body perfectly through the JTBC Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Bad Mom'.
Eun-jin Ahn played the role of Mi-joo Lee, an old friend and only refuge of Kang-ho Choi (played by Do-hyeon Lee) in 'Bad Mom', which began airing on April 26. In the play, Lee Mi-joo is a lovely character with bright positive energy. The pace is deep, but it’s also bold. Also, I have a special relationship with Choi Kang-ho, who was born at the same time on the same day.
Episode 1 of 'Bad Mom' featured Lee Mi-joo, whom Choi Kang-ho hopes for. Lee Mi-joo shyly expressed her feelings to Choi Kang-ho, who was quietly studying alone during lunch and dinner hours in the storage room under the podium in the playground, holding out some kimbap she had brought to avoid being showered with a broom by her mother, Ms. Jeong (played by Kang Mal-geum).
Unlike Lee Mi-joo, who made up her mind about nail art and decided on her career path early on, she felt sorry for Choi Kang-ho, who did not know what he really wanted to do other than studying, and consoled him. In a situation where he was trapped in a warehouse, he showed a surprising change in expression as his happiness circuit instantly increased at the thought of being alone with Choi Kang-ho.
The two people, who became close after the warehouse incident, showed that they were already lovers on the day of the college entrance exam. When Lee Mi-joo, who has a regular admission, comes to the school gate early in the morning to cheer on Choi Kang-ho, Choi Kang-ho is surprised by the joy, and Lee Mi-ju jokingly says, "I came to support my boyfriend today. Oh my, did I say you're my boyfriend now?", making Choi Kang-ho nervous about the college entrance exam. released.
They applied nail polish to his nails and cheered Choi Kang-ho on with various cheering tools. But the happy atmosphere did not last long. Lee Mi-joo got into an accident where she was hit by a motorcycle. Choi Kang-ho, who witnessed this at the scene, did not take the CSAT. When Lee Mi-ju opened her eyes in the hospital room and saw Choi Kang-ho in front of her, she cried out because she felt sorry that he could not take the college entrance exam because of her rather than gratitude.
Since then, Lee Mi-joo has changed from a positive woman to a bold woman. In the second episode that aired, Lee Mi-joo was depicted giving a refreshing feeling with Eul's perfect attitude in dealing with abuse of power. Lee Mi-joo, who worked as a nail shop employee and gave pedicures to Oh Tae-soo (played by Jeong Woong-in)'s daughter Oh Ha-young (played by Hong Bi-ra), a field of interest since she was young, unexpectedly faced a crisis. Oh Ha-young got a cut on her foot.
Although it was entirely Oh Ha-young's fault, Oh Ha-young kicked Mi-ju Lee, who hurt her foot. Lee Mi-joo knelt down and apologized, and Oh Ha-young was conscious of the gaze directed at her and tried to leave. Then Lee Mi-joo stopped Oh Ha-young. Lee Mi-joo responded, "Now it's your turn. I hope you apologize for kicking me just now. If you have sensitive feet, shouldn't you get a pedicure? I haven't done it yet, but if you don't apologize, then I'm really going to look back."
Oh Ha-young, who was accustomed to abuse of power, glared at Mi-ju as if she would not apologize. Lee Mi-ju responded with a roundhouse kick. He didn't hit Hayoung Oh directly in the face, but only threatened him. Lee Mi-joo, who was expected to be the best in high school, has now become a confident woman.
Ahn Eun-jin, who deliciously portrays Lee Mi-joo's character, doubles the drama with her trademark sly acting. From the mother-daughter chemistry with Kang Mal-geum to the fresh high school student performance with Lee Do-hyeon, the perfect chemistry without any sense of heterogeneity adds to the enjoyment of watching and the sense of immersion. While maintaining my individuality, I am completely melting into the work as a synergy itself rather than a factor that interferes with the work. Attention is focused on how Ahn Eun-jin will fill the play with her completed acting in the future and contribute to the fun of the work.
