Mi Hee's character is considered one of the haunting supporting characters in the project. Playing the role of a crazy, irresponsible, heartless and selfish mother, Mi Hee's performance haunts viewers. In some scenes, Ji Ah's acting was also better appreciated by the Korean media than the female lead Song Hye Kyo or the "evil woman" Lim Ji Yeon.

In the first part of the movie, Mi Hee only appears briefly in one scene, when she decides to sign a letter for Dong Eun to drop out of school, because of money, she gives up her daughter when Dong Eun is subjected to school violence. Coming to "The Glory" part 2, the character Mi Hee appeared more and officially became her daughter's "enemy".

After many years of making Dong Eun live not equal to death, Mrs. Mi Hee has no regrets. When approached by Yeon Jin, she immediately betrays her daughter again for money. Not only going to school to make trouble, Mi Hee also met each parent to distort and slander Dong Eun, causing her work at school to be affected.

That's not enough, when confronted by her daughter, Mrs. Mi Hee also poured out bitter words, causing Dong Eun pain to the end. What Mrs. Mi Hee caused to Dong Eun on the day of the reunion was not only a wound on her face or a fire, but an absolute end to the relationship between the two.
