Kim Hyun-joo criticized Park Hee-soon for running away until the end and making an extreme choice.
In the final episode of the SBS Monday-Tuesday drama 'Trolley', which aired on the 14th, Kim Hye-joo (played by Kim Hyun-joo), who no longer wants to run away or be left behind by other people's choices, was shown directly revealing the facts of Nam Jung-do's (played by Park Hee-soon) sexual crimes.
On this day's broadcast, the person who moved Kim Hye-joo's heart was none other than her daughter Nam Yoon-seo (played by Choi Myung-bin). Nam Yoon-seo, who learned that the truth about Nam Jung-do would be revealed to the world, tried to prevent the revelation. Kim Hye-joo, who watched this, was able to make a choice with the thought, 'I hope this child will learn to be true to himself and not run away at the moment of choice.'
Namjungdo completely collapsed. It was virtually impossible for him to make a comeback as a head of a family or as a politician. However, Jang Woo-jae (played by Kim Moo-yeol) said that he would never just turn himself in and left a meaningful comment, “What on earth did I do for you?” But now, neither a better world nor Namgung Solbeop were meaningless to Nam Jung-do. While heading to his place to stay away from Jang Woo-jae and other people, he disappeared somewhere without saying a word.
After receiving the call, Kim Hye-joo ran to the sea in Sokcho, where she had promised to go with Namjungdo. But then Namjungdo was discovered walking into the middle of the deep sea. Kim Hye-joo, who immediately threw herself, came out of the water with him and criticized him for trying to escape to his death. Nam Jung-do shed tears, saying, “I was so ashamed of my mistake that I couldn’t bear it.” Kim Hye-joo said, "Live with that shame! Be punished for living with that feeling."
In the end, Kim Hye-joo's choice changed many things. Nam Jung-do finally truly atoned, and Hyeon Yeo-jin (played by Seo Jeong-yeon) strengthened her will to live again. The apology of Jin Seung-hee (played by Ryu Hyun-kyung), who learned the truth about the incident 20 years ago, and the tears of Nam Yoon-seo, who realized how courageous her mother's choice was, also deeply resonated.
Kim Soo-bin (played by Jeong Soo-bin), who asked, “Can people also do repairs?” has become another family member of Kim Hye-joo, looking different from before. Here, Kim Hye-joo's smile as she unfolds a new page in her life at the end of the broadcast gave hope and lingering emotions, creating a perfect ending.
