In the drama, Kim Hee-jung perfectly embodies the character of Oh Jung-ran, a woman who will stop at nothing for her children, elevating the tension of the series to its peak.
What Bold Performance Did Kim Hee-jung Deliver?
Kim Hee-jung's standout performance was particularly evident from episodes 13 to 16. She shakes things up by making a bold proposal to Yuna's parents, Samsik (played by Cha Kwang-soo) and Young-sil (played by Kyung-sook), saying, "Let's get married," in her quest to secure her son Hyun-joon (played by Kang Da-bin) as the successor. Through this, Kim Hee-jung showcases her character's intense energy with unstoppable drive.
How Did She Portray the Rivalry?
Kim Hee-jung also skillfully portrays the hidden hysterical emotions behind the poised demeanor of a lady when confronting her rival, Dan-hee (played by Park Jin-hee). Her intense performance, including a juice-throwing scene and a physical altercation with Young-sil, vividly illustrates Oh Jung-ran's fiery temperament, drawing viewers into the drama.
Kim Hee-jung seamlessly transitions between being a warm mother to her son Hyun-joon and a cold-hearted figure to those who obstruct her goals. Her solid acting skills breathe life into a potentially one-dimensional character, enhancing the drama's depth.
As the series progresses, Kim Hee-jung is expected to continue her dynamic portrayal of Oh Jung-ran, a pivotal character who creates unexpected twists by pressuring Dan-hee and Min-jun (played by Kim Kyung-bo).
Meanwhile, as Kim Hee-jung fully immerses herself in the role of Oh Jung-ran, she is responsible for maintaining the drama's tension and excitement. Viewers are eager to see what powerful moves she will make in the ongoing succession battle within the Adel Group.
