Working mom Jung Eun has struck a chord with audiences as she navigates the relentless pressures of keeping up in Daechi. Juggling work, home, and her child’s cram school, she embodies the everyday struggles of many mothers.

Episode 3 follows Jung Eun as she awaits the lottery results that will determine whether Seo Yoon (Kim Sa Rang) is admitted to a prestigious elementary school—her greatest wish. In newly released photos, Jung Eun turns heads as she arrives at the lottery venue dressed entirely in red.

The room is awash in the color, driven by the belief that wearing red brings good luck for admission. Among the crowd, Jung Eun stands out with her bold red outfit, gloves, bag, and even lipstick. “When you’re a mom, there’s no room for embarrassment,” she says, anxiously awaiting the results and hoping for Seo Yoon’s acceptance.

Daechi neighborhood’s “Supermom” Ho Kyung (Park Bo Kyung) along with Jason’s mom (Song Yoo Hyun) and Annie’s mom (Go Woo Ri) also draw attention as they gather for the lottery. Determined to secure a spot at a prestigious elementary school, the mothers put everything on the line, leaving viewers eager to see who will celebrate and who will be left in tears.
