Lee Jung Eun Transforms Into The Breadwinning Mother Of Kim Da Mi In New Drama “A Hundred Memories”
JTBC’s upcoming drama “A Hundred Memories” has shared a sneak peek of Lee Jung Eun’s special appearance!
Set in the 1980s, “A Hundred Memories” is a nostalgic coming-of-age romance drama about the friendship between two young bus attendants, Go Young Rye (Kim Da Mi) and Seo Jong Hee (Shin Ye Eun), and their shared first love Han Jae Pil (Heo Nam Jun).
Lee Jung Eun plays a resilient, hardworking head of the household and the devoted mother of Young Rye, showing the power of a mother who raised her children through the difficult years of the 1980s.
Young Rye’s mother lost her husband shortly after giving birth to her youngest daughter and has raised four children on her own. Though every one of her children is precious to her, like many mothers of that era, she believes the family will prosper only if her eldest child succeeds. She receives help from Young Rye, the eldest daughter, who wears a uniform instead of a school outfit to work as a bus attendant. While she carries feelings of guilt and deep affection in her heart, her personality—or perhaps her pride—makes it difficult for her to express them openly.
In the stills, late at night, she pulls a handcart to provide for her family and later sets a table in the yard for a meal, vividly depicting life in an ordinary 1980s household and realistically portraying a mother bearing the weight of her family.
The production team said, “Actress Lee Jung Eun will play an important emotional role that adds depth to the story, going beyond a simple special appearance. Her mother-daughter chemistry with Kim Da Mi will have a strong impact on viewers.” They added, “Please look forward to Lee Jung Eun’s powerful performance, which vividly captures the life of a mother in the 1980s with both subtlety and strength.”
“A Hundred Memories” will premiere on September 13 at 10:40 p.m. KST.
