After being surrounded by people at the scene, there is a peculiar feeling of detachment when I get home. I believe that reality is deceptive. The work also contains fiction, right? Both the case and the character are made up, but because the work itself thinks the phony is genuine and pretends to be more than that, it might be challenging to experience a feeling of reality at times. Therefore, it is difficult to tolerate if my life is not cheerful and healthy. I make an effort to lead a joyful, healthy life. Naturally, there is also a natural personality, but faith significantly contributed to it taking the lead "She spoke.

4. ‘Birthcare Center’ Interview

Uhm Ji-won had not anticipated such a fiery reaction. "I am pleased to have a forum to communicate about what I felt from the perspective of an ordinary woman's growth experience living in the same era," Uhm Ji-won stated, "and thank you so much for crying, laughing, sympathizing, and supporting me." All of the actors and crew members worked hard on the filming. When I finished the work, I believed it ended nicely, but after this work, I felt sorry because "Can we get back together?" she said, expressing her deep love for the drama.

Q. What drew you to the desire for the work?

- When I first read the script, I thought I wanted to do it because it sounded like so much fun. I enjoyed how a small group of individuals in a small area like a postpartum care facility experienced tremendous emotions, and how the social status was changed from the youngest director to the oldest mother at one point during childbirth. The best part about them was that I wanted to write poetry and comedic works, but I was even more drawn to them because they were so well-finished. After reading the Grim Reaper scene in Part 1, I became greedy. She was on the brink of death while delivering birth, yet she seemed to embody the character too well when he returned with an unbreakable will. "I wish I could make it like this," she said as she handed me the key. This gave me confidence that I could perform well.

Q. How did you focus on expressing Oh Hyun-jin's character realistically?

- I wanted to exhibit many aspects of myself at home, at work, and in the kitchen. In the case of the retrospective (parody) scene, I decided to convey it dramatically because it was written in a lighthearted manner, and I believed that empathy was more important than anything else. Rather than having difficulty with character development, I wanted to articulate my feelings so that viewers may feel them as well.

Q. How did you prepare for pregnancy, labor, and childcare without prior experience?

- There was a fingerprint in the calligraphy that said, "Hyunjin is uncomfortable, therefore he can't sleep and tosses and turns." I could pretend to be uncomfortable with the fingerprint, but I questioned my friends who had experienced it, particularly when they felt uncomfortable and sick. When acting on the spur of the moment, seeking guidance was beneficial. They did not appear overtly in the case of delivery scenes, but they did relate to documentaries. I was relieved to see that viewers who had gone through pregnancy and childbirth, who were the most anxious, sympathized.

Q. Could you provide some words of encouragement to working mothers like Hyunjin?

- If I had children, I believe I would be like Hyunjin, a working and working mother. Like Jang Hye-jin said, I want to tell working women who work and raise children, "A good mother is not perfect," and "A mother is happy when she is happy." Your choice is the most important thing, just as I have to be happy to offer you good energy.
