JTBC's weekend drama 'A Time Called You' concluded on the 19th, leaving a lasting impression with Seo Jae-hee's portrayal of Yang Mi-sook.

Yang Mi-sook, the chairman of a major corporation and the adoptive mother with a twisted obsession towards her foster daughter Seo Jong-hee (Shin Ye-eun), was brought to life by Seo Jae-hee's nuanced performance, heightening the drama's tension.

In the final episode, her command to 'handle' the labor department manager, who had tormented her foster daughter, was delivered with a chilling composure that contrasted sharply with the deadly intent, amplifying the horror.

However, Yang Mi-sook's schemes ultimately unraveled, leading to her arrest for attempted murder and a tragic end.

Seo Jae-hee's performance was lauded for its depth, shifting from a character harboring dark secrets in the early stages to a cold-blooded individual with distorted maternal love in the latter half, creating a chilling atmosphere.

In a statement released by her agency, UL Entertainment, Seo Jae-hee expressed her gratitude to the viewers and the production crew, including director Kim Sang-ho.

She conveyed her hope that 'A Time Called You' offered viewers excitement, cherished memories, and courage, wishing everyone health and happiness.

Seo Jae-hee is set to continue her active career with the upcoming drama 'Good Woman Bu-se-mi' on Genie TV.

Netizens praised Seo Jae-hee's acting, commenting, "Seo Jae-hee's acting was insane," and "I got chills from the foster mother." Many found her terrifying glare particularly memorable, making her a standout villain.
