Actor Song Yoo-hyun is captivating attention with a refreshing blend of subtle charm and unexpected appeal as a quiet anger-inducer.
Song Yoo-hyun is currently appearing in the airing Genie TV original drama 'Mother and Mom' (written by Seong Yoon-a and Jo Won-dong, directed by Kim Cheol-gyu) as the determined mom known as Injeong, who goes to great lengths for her son Jason's success in the 7-year-old qualification exam.
In the drama, Song Yoo-hyun has garnered attention by portraying 'Jason's mom,' the second-ranking member following the top mom, Song Ho-kyung (played by Park Bo-kyung), effectively showcasing her strong presence. Though she often acts antagonistically towards protagonist Lee Jeong-eun (played by Jeon Hye-jin), she reveals her charm through unexpected moments of mischief.
The 5th episode of 'Mother and Mom,' aired on the 17th, depicted Jason's mom openly mocking Yoon Ji-a (played by Jo Min-soo) and Jang Mi-chun (played by Kim Kwak-gyeong-hee) in English, leading to humorous consequences. Ultimately, she faced embarrassment and had to leave after being outdone by their superior English skills.
Previously aired episodes of 'Mother and Mom' also showed Jason's mom engaging in conflict with Lee Jeong-eun's family, not hesitating to act in unpleasant ways. She lured away the sitter working with Lee Jeong-eun, causing the sitter to completely cut off contact overnight, and attempted to secretly photograph Yoon Ji-a when she witnessed her getting close to Grandpa Tommy.
However, contrary to her intentions, Jason's plans consistently go awry, creating humorous situations. The sitter she laboriously recruited had to cancel her employment due to a scolding from Tommy's mom, and the photograph of Yoon Ji-a she secretly took ended up too blurry to make out any details. Such antics from Jason's mom have consistently provided a blend of quiet anger and satisfaction in the drama, drawing viewers to their screens.
The portrayal of Jason's mom is gaining vitality thanks to Song Yoo-hyun's perfect character analysis. He brings Jason's mom to life as an annoyingly flawed antagonist who stands firmly in reality, exuding an undeniable presence while navigating conflicts and empathy.
Song Yoo-hyun enhances the immersion by realistically portraying Jason's mom, who strives to please the top-ranking mom. Although she tends to act defensive and confrontational, her character is flawlessly depicted as she seeks to win favor with Tommy's mom.
In 'Mother and Mom,' interest is mounting regarding whether Lee Jeong-eun's daughter Hong Seo-yoon (played by Kim Sa-rang) will gain entry into the Big Parker Class A and what unpleasant maneuvers Jason's mom will undertake to thwart it.
'Mother and Mom' depicts the life of a devoted working mom, Jeong-eun (played by Jeon Hye-jin), who, in preparation for her daughter's '7-year-old qualification exam', entrusts her mom Ji-a (played by Jo Min-soo) with academia-related arrangements. The drama airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. on ENA.
