Don't Cry, Mommy - A story of a mother's love
Korea’s most recent controversial drama
thriller, “Don’t Cry Mommy” unleashes a mother’s fury who seeks revenge for her
daughter’s tragic death. Starring Yoo Sun as the mother named Yoo-lim whose
only reason to live is her daughter who peacefully faces a new life after
divorce. Nam Bo-ra takes on the role of her daughter Eun-ah, a teenage girl
whose tragic experience with young love triggers her suicide.
Enrolled in a new school after her parents’ divorce, Eun-ah’s first experience in teenage romance turns into a nightmare as she becomes the victim of gang-rape perpetrated by those she knew in school that triggers her to take her own life. Directed by Kim Yong-Han from a screenplay by Lee Sang-Hyeon, the movie is based on various true accounts and tackles unapologetically the hidden problems in the nation.
The movie also stars U-Kiss’ pop icon Dong-Ho as Jo-han who preyed on the innocence of Eun-ha along with his friends Pak Joon (Kwan Hyun-Sang) and Min-gu (Lee Sang-Min).
After all efforts failed to jail the
minor perpetrators of Eun-ha’s death, Yoo-lim takes matters into her own hands
even if it means breaking the law. The
movie was scripted with Yoo Sun in mind due to her remarkably strong portrayals
in her previous films. “There are so many emotional scenes in the movie and
sometimes, I would be filming emotional scenes all day long, until dawn. It was very tiring but I had to keep myself
emotionally charged for those scenes,” relates Yoo Sun.
Nam Bo-ra who’s known in Korea for being
a ‘proper-mannered’ celebrity shares, “The scenes I had to film after the
tragic incident were particularly hard for me, as they required a lot of
emotional acting. But I’ve never
personally experienced that kind of emotions, so I had to work hard in
portraying those scenes.”
“Don’t Cry Mommy” will open on November
13 in local cinemas from Axinite
