Kim Da Mi has shared her thoughts on her “A Hundred Memories” character!
Set in the 1980s, “A Hundred Memories” is a nostalgic coming-of-age romance drama about the friendship between two young bus attendants, Go Young Rye (Kim Da Mi) and Seo Jong Hee ( Shin Ye Eun ), and their shared first love Han Jae Pil ( Heo Nam Jun ).
Kim Da Mi described her character Young Rye as “someone with a pure, clear soul, a warm heart, and so much love.” She continued, “That’s why she knows how to give everything for her friends and family. I find that really cool.”
Kim Da Mi recalled how she felt when she first encountered “A Hundred Memories.” She said, “When I read the script, it felt like each and every character was alive. I wanted to live in that world, too.” She added, “The more I read, the more I fell in love with Young Rye for her purity. That’s why I decided to take on the challenge.”
Kim Da Mi added that the 1980s—an era she’d never lived through—and the job of a bus conductor also felt special to her. She shared, “It seemed like a time that, in some ways, was freer than today and in other ways wasn’t; but when it came to love, everyone was passionate and full of dreams.”
Kim Da Mi said with a smile, “I was happy just to have experienced that era, and by indirectly stepping into this line of work, I realized how demanding the job really was. I came away with deep respect for the bus conductors of those days.”
“A Hundred Memories” will premiere on September 13 at 10:40 p.m. KST.
