On March 10th, immediately after the release of “The Glory” Part 2, an article about the movie “Epitaph”, which stars actress Park Ji Ah appeared on a Korean online community. In “The Glory”, Park Ji Ah assumes the role of Jung Mi Hee, the biological mother of protagonist Moon Dong Eun.
Released in 2007, the movie “Epitaph” is an omnibus-type horror film about three events that took place at a place called Ansaeng Hospital during the Japanese colonial era.
In the second episode of this movie, which is titled “Asako”, actress Park Ji Ah appeared as a “mother ghost”.
The episode of “Asako” revolves around Asako, a girl who survived an accident that killed her entire family. However, she later developed aphasia and kept seeing her mother’s apparition, before eventually passing away at the hospital.
Regarding the character of “mother ghost” portrayed by Park Ji Ah, director Jeong Beom Sik, who directed the “Asako” episode in “Epitaph”, said, “I asked actress Park Ji Ah to speak in a dialect, but didn’t tell her how to act until just before filming.”
In the end, as soon as Park Ji Ah followed the instruction and finished her scenes, all the staff were frightened.
At the time, all the panelists acknowledged that actress Park Ji Ah’s ‘mother ghost’ character is a “legendary character in the history of Korean horror films.”
Upon learning that Park Ji Ah played “mother ghost”, netizens left comments such as, “Somehow, her acting was seriously creepy”, “I was really scared watching that movie”, and “I admire her every time I see her in a drama.”
Meanwhile, in “The Glory”, Park Ji Ah transforms into the biological mother of female lead Moon Dong Eun. However, despite knowing about her daughter’s suffering under cruel school violence, she took the settlement money offered by Park Yeon Jin’s (Lim Ji Yeon) family, and abandoned Moon Dong Eun.
