In 2010, she worked in Sungkyunkwan Scandal where her mother was Kim Mi kyung. The typical Joseon era woman concerned about the health of her son & the rising debt. She knows her daughter is well read & can have a bright future but the societal norms do not allow her the freedom.
Unwillingly she makes her go the book shop to make copies that earn some money. If you thought she was meek or submissive, think again!
In ‘Healer’ she is the computer geek that nobody would imagine. She is not Min Young’s mother but has a special place in her heart. Min young is after all ‘Healer’s Sweetheart! The final scene where all come together all dressed to kill, she is the smartest!
In ‘Her Private life’ the bond between them is unique. Her mother hates that she is fangirling over a idol. She has driven her out but checks if she is not skipping meals or lack side dishes.
In “Secret Garden’ as the owner of restaurant in the mountain with Ha ji won & Hyun Bin or Park shin hye’s mother in “Heirs” or Nam Ju-ri’s mother in “It’s okay to not be Okay”. Kim Ha neul’s mother in “18 Again” a strict mom who scolds her daughter for the untimely pregnancy but later takes care of the twins … her grandchildren.
‘Was it Love?’ had her taking care of her pregnant daughter who dropped from college & did odd jobs to make ends meet. Song Ji hyo & her young daughter have an exceptional bond with her. The situation is hilarious as three men appear in her life & take interest in her! As her mother the situation has to be handled with care.
Kim Mi-kyung has this ability to blend in & live the part, always!
