Jo Mi Mi’s Pride Takes a Hit

Jo Mi Mi (Kim Hee Jung) is already juggling a lot. Her eldest son, Kang Kang Nam, has come home with his daughter after a divorce. Then she finds a foreclosure notice at the home of her second son, Kang Dae Chi. She had always seen him as the family’s pride.

In the upcoming episode, she confronts him directly. He admits that a senior colleague at work encouraged him to start investing, and that he lost money. Mi Mi is visibly stunned. The question is what a devoted mother does when the child she trusted most is the one in trouble. Does she rescue him, or let him face it himself?

Jeon Jin Hee Goes Full Matchmaker

While Mi Mi deals with a crisis, Jeon Jin Hee (Kang Kyung Hun) is busy arranging her son’s love life. She has chosen her subordinate Kang Ye Ri (Kim Na Eun) as the ideal partner for Cha Do Yoon (Bae Ji Wan).

She invites Ye Ri to her wedding anniversary dinner and tries to nudge the two together without being obvious. Do Yoon has no idea what is going on, and when he finally works it out, he is caught off guard. There is also a hint that Jin Hee has a specific reason for picking Ye Ri, so expect a secret to come out.

Why This Drama Is Worth Your Evening?

The two mothers show opposite styles of parenting. One gives up too much and the other controls too much, and both ways of “helping” can backfire. If you enjoy the emotional realism of a Korean drama built around family, this one has plenty of both laughs and tension.

Kim Hee Jung is also a good reason to tune in on her own. If you want more of her work while you wait for the next episode, Pearl in Red is available on Viki.
