I just didn’t know.
I couldn’t sort it out because it’s so complicated.
Have you ever experienced the feelings when you love someone too much?
Based on the New York Times bestseller, this sweeping saga chronicles the hopes and dreams of a Korean immigrant family across four generations as they leave their homeland in an indomitable quest to survive and thrive.
It is so painful, so eventually, it leads to hatred.
It’s just the power of that it reached that amount of energy.
So I think in Episode 1, when they met each other, they reunited in Episode 1.
They have the kids to raise.
At some point, Sunja realized and admitted that she cannot live without him.
It’s just part of her life.
There are some sharp contrasts between Sunja and Solomon’s journeys this week.
What was it like changing that performance and also working with the younger actors who play her sons?
At the same time, I just wanted to portray some of her personality in a different way.
I mean,14 years have passed, so everything changed.
She was thriving, she was raising the kids, and everything changed.
I believe in the power of time.
When the time goes by, when the time flows, we naturally learn something from life.
So, I just wanted to meld it in my character.
Working with the small children was lovely.
I always learn a lot of things from them, and I always get a good energy from them.
I miss them a lot.

I respect her so much.
That’s why I just wanted to isolate myself from her.
I just wanted to keep it separate.
I tried to focus on my situation and the scenes where Sunja is stuck on.
