'Park Bo-young's grandmother,' actress Cha Mi-kyung, left a deep impression through 'Our Unwritten Seoul.'
In the tvN weekend drama 'Our Unwritten Seoul' (written by Lee Gang, directed by Park Shin-woo, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Monster Union and Hi Ground), which aired its final episode on the 29th, Cha Mi-kyung delivered a remarkable performance as 'Kang Wol-soon,' the grandmother of Yu Mi-ji and Yu Mi-rae (played by Park Bo-young), leaving a heavy presence and warm resonance.
In the final episode, Cha Mi-kyung appeared as a healthy Wol-soon, revealing a dream where she tells Mi-ji, 'Grandma will always come. On the tough days for Mi-ji, I will come even as clouds or as a bird.' This conveyed a warm grandmother's heart, always by her side, supporting Mi-ji's future. To Mi-ji, who was troubled by separation, she said, 'If your heart is so heavy that you feel you can’t do anything, I will come more.' Wol-soon's heartfelt final words, cherishing and loving Mi-ji until the end, added depth to the story and touched audiences significantly.
The character Kang Wol-soon, played by Cha Mi-kyung in the drama, recognizes Mi-ji, who exchanged her life, and showered her with unwavering love. Notably, to Mi-ji, who does not come out of her room after the injury, she said, 'Yesterday is over, and tomorrow is still far away.' 'No matter how you look disheveled, all acts of trying to live are brave.' The comfort she offered left a profound impression, encapsulating the overall message of the work.
Through this work, Cha Mi-kyung received praise for expressing her character's emotions delicately and achieving a detailed acting synergy with Park Bo-young and Won Mi-kyung, enhancing the production's completeness. Previously, she revealed a warm presence with her unique family love, portrayed delicately in Netflix's 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' MBC's 'Investigation Unit Chief 1958,' and the film 'Three Days of Vacation,' evoking deep empathy from the public.
