A stranger appears amidst the deepening conflict between Mother and daughter Min-seo

Tensions escalate as long-standing conflicts within the family surface. The mother expresses her expectations by bringing up her own past academic achievements, but Min-seo reacts with strong resistance, stating that her mother's excessive expectations are suffocating. Highlighting the psychological distance between them, Min-seo claims her father understands her better and expresses a desire to move out and live with him.

Conflicting Perspectives and Deepening Conflict Between Mother and Daughter

Min-seo candidly expresses the pressure she feels in her relationship with her mother. The mother attempts to encourage Min-seo's studies by emphasizing her own history as a top student, saying, "How can you not do well in school? You're my daughter." However, Min-seo voices her distress, retorting, "I can't live like this; you're suffocating me." Asserting that her father is fully supportive of her wishes, Min-seo shows her determination to escape her mother's control and go to her father.

In response to Min-seo's sudden outburst, the mother reacts with cynicism. Recalling a time when Min-seo previously ran away from home, she asks, "Do you really think your father will welcome you with open arms if you go now?" By scoffing and reminding Min-seo of her past behavior of packing her bags and leaving, the mother vividly demonstrates the deep emotional rift and the cold atmosphere between the two.
