In the TV Chosun weekend mini-series 'Red Balloon' (written by Moon Young-nam, directed by Jin Hyeong-wook) that aired last weekend, the conflict between Soo-hyun Hong and her husband Lee Sang-woo reached its peak, raising a red flag between the couple. Hong Soo-hyun decided to take her sick mother, Lee Sang-suk, home, but due to Lee Sang-woo's opposition, it was postponed and she couldn't wait, so she ended up bringing her mother home. Hong Soo-hyun, who suffered from extreme stress during this process, went on a trip to the beach with Lee Sang-sook, and formed a strange atmosphere with the classmate she met there, raising curiosity. As a result, curiosity is growing as to whether Hong Soo-hyun, who was homely and affectionate, has had a change of heart.
Han Bada (Hong Soo-hyun) decided to take her mother Yeo Jeon-hee (Lee Sang-sook) home. I can't continue to leave my sick mother alone in a nursing hospital. I told Go Cha-won (played by Lee Sang-woo) that I think I should take my mother home, but the answer I got was to give me time to persuade Na Gong-ju (played by Yoon Mi-ra). With an expression of incomprehension, Bada showed disappointment to Ji-won, asking if she would not be able to take care of her mother if her mother-in-law did not give permission.
Bada, who had been waiting for Ji-won's answer, thought she couldn't do it anymore, so she immediately ran to the nursing home and brought Yeo Jeon-hee to her. Because I did not bring my mother with me by agreement, a small conflict arose between the sea and the dimension. In addition, Bada, who fell under the influence of Jo Eun-kang (played by Seo Ji-hye), spoke in a stronger tone than before, and a crack slowly began to form between the two. To make matters worse, while Yeo Jeon-hee was home alone, Princess Na burst into the house, and Bada, who was surprised, called Ji-won and said, “Your mother said, go right away. “If anything happens to my mom, take care of it,” he said.
The situation is understandable to some extent because they are Bada's mother and daughter who suffered trauma due to Princess Na. Bada, who was worried that her mother would collapse again, said, “The wild beast in front of the door is screaming to open the door, and the helpless rabbit is shaking. It was like that three years ago too. “Are you going to take responsibility if something goes wrong with my mother like this?” he snapped at Ji-won in a sharp tone. The two people continued to argue violently. At that time, Dimension's mistake pushed the sea and fell, and the angry sea also shook off his hand and hit Dimension's face.
The conflict has reached such a peak that there is talk of divorce. But did they say that a fight between a couple is like cutting water with a knife? Bada expressed a sincere apology for saying harsh words while drinking wine with Dimensional late at night. But another crisis came. Jo Eungang disguised it as a slip of the tongue and told Princess Na about the existence of Jeonhee Yeo. Bada, who was urgently heading home, called her mother and told her never to open the door. Eventually, the door to the house was opened by Eungang, who knew the password, and a conflict between her parents and her in-laws was imminent.
Bada, who arrived home just in time, said to Princess Na, “I don’t understand why I have to get permission from my mother-in-law to take care of my sick mother. “No, I don’t want to understand,” he said strongly. The princess got angry and threw water in Bada's face, and Bada couldn't stand it any longer and called the police to kick him out. In this way, the conflict between the couple reached its peak. However, thanks to Dimension's consideration, Bada went to the beach with Yeo Jeon-hee, where she met her middle school classmate Shin Gi-han, and a strange atmosphere was formed between the two people who met by chance, raising expectations for next week's broadcast.
Hong Soo-hyun flexibly expressed the gradual change of the innocent and pure 'Hanbada'. Hong Soo-hyun has a bright and kind personality and has never made enemies, but due to the estrangement of a friend who is jealous of her, she takes a sharp attitude towards her in-laws and husband. Hong Soo-hyun is receiving infinite love from viewers for her captivating portrayal of the anger of the sea that explodes at any moment and the ever-changing emotions. As Hong Soo-hyun's deep acting brings both fun and sympathy, the viewership ratings of the drama 'Red Balloon' are also showing signs of rising with each episode. Accordingly, attention is being paid to the 'generational empathy' story that Hong Soo-hyun will lead and the character's psychological changes.
Meanwhile, TV Chosun's weekend miniseries 'Red Balloon' airs every weekend at 9:10 PM.
