'Gold medal cyclist mother' Ra Mi-ran "I can't grow up like a neglectful mother, Dr. Oh Eun-young"

“Actually, I am a neglectful mother. I taught my son that your choice is your responsibility since he was 4 years old. There are quite a few mothers who feel sorry for not paying attention to their children. I can be sorry, but I hope I don’t feel so sorry. Mom Because everyone has their own life. Not all mothers can raise their children like Dr. Oh Eun-young, right?"

Ra Mi-ran (played by Jin Young-soon) in the JTBC Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Bad Mother' and Ra Mi-ran in real life were different 'mothers'. Unlike Youngsoon, who rigorously educated her son, Ra Mi-ran was a 'cool' mother who joked, "I think (parenting) is over when breastfeeding is over." However, the method was different, but the 'good mother' was the same.

In 2002, Ra Mi-ran married Kim Jin-goo, former manager of Shin Sung-woo, and has one son. His son, Kim Geun-woo, is 20 years old and is active as a cyclist. He also won a silver medal in the individual event and a gold medal in the team event at the Asian Junior Championships.

Ra Mi-ran said, “My family is not interested in me. They don’t even watch my works.” He laughed, saying, “How good is a mother who releases a child?”

'Bad Mother', which ended on the 8th, tells the story of a mother, Young-soon (Ra Mi-ran), who had no choice but to be a bad mother for her child, and her son Kang-ho (Lee Do-hyun), who became a child in an unexpected accident, in search of lost happiness. works included. Ra Mi-ran played the role of Jin Young-sook, who volunteered to be a bad mother in order not to inherit the pain of poverty and ignorance while raising her son while running a pig farm alone.

Ra Mi-ran said, "As expected, episode 14 was short and easy. I was also a bit disappointed. At the beginning, I told the writer to put more effort into it, that I didn't want to finish it in a hurry, and that it would be nice to have about 16 episodes, but I think it ended well." We filmed from September of last year to March of this year. It was a very happy time. There were many scenes with the people of Jouri village, so it reminded me of performing in the past, and it was so nice that people were repeating it like in 'Reply 1988'." He gave his impressions of the ending.

This work was a character with a lot of emotional consumption, such as a tear scene. In response, Ra Mi-ran said, "There were many cases where there was an emotional scene from the first scene in the morning. That's why there were many cases where the eyes were always swollen. It could be because I ate salty food the day before." It was like that after pouring in. It's amazing that if the script is well written, emotions arise naturally, so I didn't have to worry about emotional acting."

He continued, "There has never been a work where the acting of tears has been done to this extent. I even reduced it a lot. There were many scenes where I was afraid that tears would come out. There were also cases where tears came out in unexpected places. wrote," he added.

Ra Mi-ran is in charge of the title role in this work. When asked if there was any pressure, he said, "I liked that it was not too biased towards the main character and solved it. The characters around me are alive and there are all the stories, and I was able to combine them together and create a single story even when they were scattered. There is no need to feel pressure or things like that. There was no. There were many people besides me who filled the drama, so I didn't feel like I was leading it alone."

Regarding his pride in the title role, he added, “What does it mean?” and added, “There are more things to be criticized for. .

Ra Mi-ran tried to understand 'Jin Young-soon' itself rather than 'maternal love' in expressing the character. He said, "It's not because I'm a mother, it's because I'm Youngsoon. It's a conclusion and judgment that I can make because I've lived this kind of life, and according to that, this story is born as I make mistakes, make mistakes, ask for forgiveness, and build relationships. I think my gratitude has grown.”

Ra Mi-ran played a character with 'end stage stomach cancer', but said that she failed to become emaciated. "It's because of my lack of management. I ended up pulling it together. But I can control everything, so please call it weak-willed.”

In the final episode, Jin Young-soon faced an unreversed death. In response, Ra Mi-ran was satisfied, saying, "It went well. It was nice to have a very happy ending. Dying itself didn't come out sad or heartbreaking, so it was a very well-planned ending.

"I didn't want to see Youngsoon die in pain after a hard life. I also wanted to see her happy. Life was hard, but I thought it would be very pitiful to die in pain."

Ra Mi-ran previously expressed at the production presentation that 'Bad Mother' is a work she wants to do, even if it means clinging to it. In response, Ra Mi-ran said, "It's not easy to take on the role of living a life that is so eventful and stormy. When you get older, there is a high probability that you will fall out of your work like accessories around you, but as an actor, this kind of role is so attractive. It's fun and lovable, and it's not easy to meet such a work, so you have to be grateful when you come in."

Regarding Lee Do-hyun, with whom he worked the most in the play, Ra Mi-ran said, “I have seen almost all of Lee Do-hyun’s previous works. I thought it was good, but I thought it was fortunate that I was appearing. After filming, it was much better. A friend who has no choice but to do well," he praised.

In particular, during the filming of 'Bad Mother', Lee Do-hyun received a lot of love when Netflix's 'The Glory' was released. In response, Ra Mi-ran said, "('The Glory' release) how well you were able to snatch it before." "'The Glory' was released in the middle of filming, and I was upset when I saw it. Sweeping my heart out, I was not even a producer, but I was very good at signing a contract quickly." I thought you did it. He has a lot of greed for acting, and he is a friend with much more potential.”

In fact, when asked if Lee Do-hyun has a friendly personality, Ra Mi-ran explained, "I'm not on the friendly side. I cover my face, but I'm warm."

As he was the president of a pig farm in the play, there were many episodes with pigs. Ra Mi-ran said, "The pigs acted so well. People know it as CG, but almost all of them were real pigs. There was almost no CG except for the pigs in the opening. They said they were pigs attending a special animal school. When the keeper calls, they run like ghosts." he recalled.

In the play, Mrs. Son Yong-rak (played by Kim Won-hae), the head of the play, appeared with a mask pack on from beginning to end, arousing curiosity about her identity. The identity of Lee Jang's wife is actor Park Bo-kyung, who is also the wife of actor Jin Seon-gyu. Ra Mi-ran smiled, saying, "I thought I wouldn't continue to use a mask pack, but I used it until the end. I thought that the perseverance was amazing. The writer is great, but it's hard for the actors to accept it. I even joked that my skin would improve."

Ra Mi-ran also recalled the scene where she made the extreme choice of taking her own life in episode 7. He said, "It's a moment, but it feels like I've actually seen a kaleidoscope. Originally, I was going to hang a wire, but when I took the upper body, I said I would not hang it and put my weight on it. It passed," he said.

Choi Moo-seong, who played a neighbor in 'Reply 1988', and Ra Mi-ran, who met as a victim and an assailant in 'Bad Mother'. Regarding Choi Moo-sung, he said, "Senior Moo-seong is so cute. He's shy, but when we get to know him, he tells a lot of funny stories. But he's not fun at all. He's a senior, but he's so cute." The suit teeth were so cool," he recalled.

What will 'Bad Mother' mean to Ra Mi-ran? He said, "I think it's just passing by. It's not like I'm going to have fun, and I don't have to be burdened. My stance will not change. I'm not trying to be burdened with a title role."

"I was happy while filming, and I was happy while watching the broadcast after filming. Isn't that the best?"
