Go Young-rae's deep and tender feelings for her first love eventually reach Han Jae-pil (played by Heo Nam-joon), creating a dramatic scene. The moments when Go Young-rae supported Han Jae-pil during his difficult times are revealed, and she finally receives his confession. The tears in Go Young-rae's eyes reflect the long-held emotions of love, evoking a poignant response.

Kim Da-mi portrays not just the excitement and sweetness of love, but also the complex and poignant emotions of unrequited first love. This depth allows viewers to become more immersed in the moment when Go Young-rae's feelings reach Han Jae-pil. Kim Da-mi's performance, at the heart of the drama, enhances the narrative of 'A Hundred Memories'.
