Uhm Jung-hwa's Character Recovers Memory and Seeks Revenge in 'My Precious Star'

Uhm Jung-hwa's character has regained her memory and is set on a path of revenge.

In the 11th episode of Genie TV's original drama 'My Precious Star', aired on the 22nd, Bong Cheong-ja (played by Uhm Jung-hwa) was overwhelmed after regaining all her memories. However, with the warm encouragement of Dokgo Cheol (played by Song Seung-heon), Bong Cheong-ja prepared to rise again. The thrilling ending, especially towards Go Hee-young (played by Lee El), heightened anticipation for the final showdown. The episode garnered a nationwide viewership rating of 3.9% and 3.7% in the metropolitan area, according to Nielsen Korea's paid household metrics.

Bong Cheong-ja's unconscious state after an accident shocked everyone. Dokgo Cheol, who narrowly escaped a crisis, was also shaken by the news. Meanwhile, Bong Cheong-ja was in a deep dream, with her lost memories vividly replaying. In the past, she sought a comeback opportunity by trying to meet Director Choi, but it was not easy. Her decision to leave her father, who had dementia, led to the tragic car accident of Bong Seok-bong (played by Ryu Tae-ho).

Burdened by guilt, Bong Cheong-ja couldn't face her family. The memories she didn't want to recall were ones she had tried hard to erase. The shock didn't end there. Nam Yu-ran (played by Joo Bo-young), who had been a source of strength at the dormitory, had passed away, adding to Bong Cheong-ja's sorrow.

Dokgo Cheol comforted the struggling Bong Cheong-ja, saying, "When you're in the dark for a long time, you might feel trapped and unable to see ahead. Now that you're out of the darkness, you can set things right again." His words were a strong support for Bong Cheong-ja, who was still doubtful.

The shocking news continued. Joo Seung-pil (played by Go Han-min), who held the key to the incident, was found dead. Once again, it was Dokgo Cheol who unraveled the mystery. By persuading Riley, he found a clue to solve the case and skillfully initiated a raid on Two-One Entertainment.

Despite the good news, Bong Cheong-ja felt uneasy, realizing the danger looming over her and her family. However, Dokgo Cheol's assurance that she wouldn't have to fight alone this time was reassuring. Bong Cheong-ja confessed, "I believe you," recalling how he had protected her even when he was just a low-ranking officer, surprising Dokgo Cheol. Their long-awaited reunion after 25 years was filled with heartfelt smiles.

Meanwhile, the comeback show was heating up. Bong Cheong-ja, determined not to repeat past mistakes, confidently faced Min Tae-sook's (played by Cha Chung-hwa) concerns about Go Hee-young's interference, saying, "That's something only amateurs do." Unaware that Bong Cheong-ja had regained her memory, Go Hee-young remained confident. As filming began, Go Hee-young's harsh treatment of Bong Cheong-ja stirred the set.

Bong Cheong-ja responded with a smile, then hit back harder, warning, "Is that all? Just wait. I know everything you've done." The chilling warning left Go Hee-young frozen, heightening anticipation for the comeback show's finale.

In the epilogue, Bong Cheong-ja's true feelings were revealed. When her sister Bong Baek-ja (played by Joo In-young) asked, Bong Cheong-ja described Dokgo Cheol as 'light', saying, "He lights me up brightly. Being next to him makes me shine." Dokgo Cheol's smiling face hinted at the final story the two would complete together.
