On March 18, the emotional episode of TV CHOSUN’s “With Father and Me” featured actress Seo Hyo Rim, her husband Jung Myung Ho, and her father as they paid a heartfelt visit to the charnel house of the late actress Kim Soo Mi.

During their visit to Kim Soo Mi’s final resting place, the couple was visibly affected by feelings of longing and sorrow. Seo Hyo Rim’s father was particularly emotional, shedding tears as he regretted the words he wished he could have expressed to his beloved in-law.
With tears in her eyes, Seo Hyo Rim shared, “I still feel as if she’s merely away for a shoot. In dramas, we often film funeral sequences, so this situation feels surreal. I can’t comprehend that Mom is in such a tiny urn.”
Jung Myung Ho Reflects on His Mother’s Passing
In a poignant moment, Jung Myung Ho recounted the traumatic experience of finding his mother in her last moments, stating, “Even now, I find it hard to accept that it happened.”
He recalled, “I received a call from my father early one morning, informing me that something was wrong with Mom and that I should hurry over. Upon arrival, I found her collapsed beside the bed. As I lifted her, I was struck by how cold she felt. I placed her on the bed and realized she wasn’t breathing, so I immediately contacted emergency services. When the paramedics arrived, they informed me that she had probably been in cardiac arrest for several hours. At that moment, my mind went completely blank.”
He added, “Coming to terms with her death was incredibly challenging. Even at the funeral, the reality didn’t sink in. I still need time to process it all. Sometimes, it feels like she’s still present; at other times, her absence is painfully clear.”
Unveiling Kim Soo Mi’s Diary and Final Messages
In the upcoming episode, viewers can anticipate the revelation of Kim Soo Mi’s personal belongings and previously undisclosed narratives. As Seo Hyo Rim and Jung Myung Ho sifted through her empty home, they stumbled upon cherished photographs and an intimate diary.

The diary included heartfelt reflections penned by Kim Soo Mi about her son. Overwhelmed by emotion upon reading it, Jung Myung Ho remarked, “I realized there were so many things I misunderstood about my mother. She was not just my mother; sometimes she felt like my father, and at other times, she was my whole world.”
Moreover, the couple invited veteran actress Kim Young Ok to share memories of Kim Soo Mi. Upon receiving the diary from Seo Hyo Rim, Kim Young Ok was moved to tears, exclaiming, “She truly wrote all of this?”
With deep sorrow, she softly echoed a final sentiment to her departed friend, saying, “Soo Mi, let’s meet again in the next world and act together once more.”
