1부🎬 19살에 시작된 비극... 남편의 무관심에 사내 5명 데리고 도망친 32살 엄마의 강인함 [인간극장] | KBS 2008.05.12

Kwon Ji-yeon (32), a spirited young mother, is the busiest mother in the world. She works at a tripe restaurant from 10 a.m. until late at night at 11 p.m., and returns home to handle a mountain of laundry. Yet, she cannot fall asleep because she must prepare for the future of her beloved children! Nine months ago, she gave up her life as a woman to one man and chose to become the perfect mother of five brothers. Her eldest son, Min-hyeok (13), who always understands her feelings; Seung-hyeok (9), who takes care of his younger siblings despite getting scolded by his older brother every day; Jun-hyeok (8), who tries to help his older brother despite his shortcomings; Woo-hyeok (6), who is still young but does his job well; and Dae-hyeok (4), the cutest boy who causes trouble every day—these are her only hopes. She still gets teary-eyed and finds it difficult to raise five boys, but she embraces them with her best efforts every day! Will she be able to successfully fulfill the role of the head of the household as well? #. Women Are Weak, But Mothers Are Strong Her hand reaches for the alarm clock time and time again to wake her up. She longs to close her eyes for just a minute—or even just a second—but she must endure a morning that feels like a war against five men. After washing the children and preparing breakfast, she rushes breathlessly to the tripe restaurant she started nine months ago with her mother! In her busy daily life, running from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., she has no time to rest. Having only recently started, she is clumsy and inexperienced with much to learn. Handling unfamiliar customers while handling tripe—something she couldn't even eat before—she doesn't get home until well past midnight. When she returns late at night, dragging her exhausted body, Jiyeon would need ten hands to handle everything. While the children are asleep, she runs a mountain of laundry, helps them with their overdue homework, and packs their pencils and school bags; by the time she finishes, the clock is already approaching 3 a.m., and only then can Jiyeon finally lie down beside her beloved children, even if only for a brief moment. #. A Misfortune That Bound Suddenly One Day Jiyeon, who looks like a young girl at thirty-two, is actually the mother of a 13-year-old child. Having spent lonely and difficult times with no one to turn to after her parents' divorce during her school years, she met a husband who was like a father to her at a younger age than others and lived relying on him. Contrary to Jiyeon's desire to build a happy family, her husband began staying out late more frequently and his indifference started to grow. She gave birth to a child hoping things would improve for her husband, who particularly loved children, but he only showed joy for a brief moment; she had to endure many tears due to his continued indifference. Fearing that if this situation continued, she would expose her young children to things they didn't need to see, Jiyeon decided to divorce, believing it was the best path for them. She chose life as a mother of five children over life as a woman to one man. #. The Only Hope! The Mischievous Five Brothers The five brothers banded together, centered around the eldest, Minhyeok (13), who was always a reliable supporter of his mother. The mature second son, Seunghyeok (9), the meticulous third son, Junhyeok (8), the smart fourth son, Woohyeok (6), and the adorable fifth son, Daehyeok (4), create their own rules for their daily lives while their mother is out working. The eldest son, Minhyeok (13), acts as the leader, giving instructions to his younger siblings on their respective tasks, washing them with his tiny hands, dressing them, and tidying up the house. Although Minhyeok is sometimes upset when his siblings don't listen, he has matured by understanding his mother's feelings much faster. From spreading out the bedding to falling asleep before their mother returns, the children want to be a source of strength for their tired mother... Understanding their mother's struggles, the siblings do their best. Watching these children, their mother feels proud of them for trusting and following her, but she often feels sorry for them. #. 32 Years Old, The Reason She Is Beautiful While 32 is an age when most people dream of a newlywed life or fully pursue their dreams, Jiyeon's life is different. For Ji-yeon, watching her five sons grow up strong and bright became the hope she gets through each day, and raising them to be better than anyone else became her goal. Although she does not know what awaits her as the children grow older or what difficulties may arise, Ji-yeon resolves to become even stronger today, steadfastly filling the void left by their father under the name of "Mom." Happy to have her five sons, Ji-yeon runs vigorously today. Please leave warm comments for all the cast members~* The current situation and content may differ slightly depending on when the vide...
