Actress Jang Shin-young Expresses Outrage Over Daughter's Assault in 'Woman Who Swallowed the Sun'

Actress Jang Shin-young is furious over her daughter's assault.

In the fourth episode of MBC's daily drama 'Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' (planned by Jang Jae-hoon, directed by Kim Jin-hyung, written by Seol Kyung-eun, produced by MBC C&I), which aired on the 12th, Baek Seol-hee (played by Jang Shin-young) is determined to uncover the truth behind her daughter Baek Mi-so's (played by Lee Ru-da) assault. The episode also reveals the deep-seated trauma of Min Se-ri (played by Park Seo-yeon). The process of uncovering the truth behind the retaliatory assault and Se-ri's emotional breakdown in Min Kyung-chae's (played by Yoon Ah-jung) arms highlighted further wounds and conflicts, leaving a lasting impression.

The broadcast featured a heart-wrenching scene where Seol-hee discovers her daughter Mi-so bloodied in an alley, moving viewers to tears. Seol-hee's desperate prayers outside the operating room, "If something happens to Mi-so, I can't live. How can I live without my child," conveyed a mother's anguish and guilt for not protecting her daughter, along with her unwavering belief that Mi-so would recover.

Meanwhile, Moon Tae-kyung (played by Seo Ha-jun) seeks out Jo Pil-doo (played by Lee Han-wi) to uncover the truth behind the car accident that killed his parents. Tae-kyung demands the truth, saying, "The real culprit made you confess," while Pil-doo firmly denies it, saying, "No matter how many times you ask, it was my accident," hinting at hidden truths and heightening the tension.

A significant focus of the episode was the revelation of Se-ri's deep wounds. After hearing the harsh words from Kyung-chae, "You're nothing to me now," Se-ri desperately clings to her. Se-ri's confession, "The nanny was annoyed with me. I knew it even when I was young. That's why you felt like a mother to me," reveals the complex relationship between Kyung-chae and Se-ri, adding depth to the drama.

Furthermore, the truth behind Mi-so's retaliatory assault becomes clearer. After regaining consciousness, Mi-so tells her friend that the person who attacked her was Se-ri, who had caused a scene at a café. Mi-so's friend hands Seol-hee the dress Mi-so intended to give as a birthday present, ruined by Se-ri's assault, revealing the full truth of the incident. Realizing it was not a mere accident but a malicious retaliatory assault, Seol-hee is enraged.

The fifth episode of MBC's daily drama 'Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' airs on the 13th at 7:05 PM.
