Kim Tae Hee Talks About Playing A Ghost Mom In Upcoming Drama

Kim Tae Hee, returning to the small screen for the first time in three years with tvN’s upcoming drama “Hi Bye, Mama!” talked about her new character, a ghost mom.

“Hi Bye, Mama!” is about a woman named Cha Yu Ri (played by Kim Tae Hee), who, after passing away in a tragic accident, is able to return to her husband (Jo Kang Hwa, played by Lee Kyu Hyung) and daughter for 49 days as a ghost.

Kim Tae Hee said, “Cha Yu Ri’s simplicity and positivity is really similar to me. I think I was naturally drawn to Cha Yu Ri. Because the drama came to me after I became a mother to a daughter, I was able to relate more to Cha Yu Ri’s situation. I tried to inject a lot of myself and my own manner of speaking into the character to portray her naturally.”

In the latest stills for the drama, Cha Yu Ri is a ghost, roaming the world after never having had the chance to hold her daughter. We also see Cha Yu Ri is smiling brightly as a “genie of the ghost world” who helps solve problems for her fellow ghosts at the columbarium.

“Hi Bye, Mama!” premieres in February. Watch the latest teaser for the drama here.
