'Mom is Crazy' Kang Dami requests leniency for Jeon Jinhee... Colleague's contract renewal at risk

In the KBS1 daily drama ″Mom Has Gone Crazy,″ Kang Da-mi (Jung Min-ah), Jeon Jin-hee (Kang Kyung-hun), and Cha Do-yoon (Bae Ji-wan) had a three-way confrontation. In the episode aired on the 30th, Kang Da-mi personally visited Jeon Jin-hee to ask for leniency regarding a colleague’s contract renewal issue, but Jeon Jin-hee responded coldly. Kang Da-mi lent money she had saved for her dream of becoming a costume designer to Kang Dae-chi (Kim Jong-hoon) and asked her family to keep this a secret. Kang Dae-chi repaid the interest with Kang Da-mi’s help, but Kang Da-mi faced another crisis due to an accident at the department store. VIP customer Jeon Jin-hee was injured by shoes purchased at the department store where Kang Da-mi works, which also affected her colleague’s contract renewal. With Cha Do-yoon’s help, Kang Da-mi visited Jeon Jin-hee’s office and directly mentioned the colleague’s contract issue, saying, ″I came to ask for leniency.″ Jeon Jin-hee expressed regret that the employee responsible for her shoe repairs was having difficulty renewing the contract but said, ″It’s unpleasant to hear it as if I threatened not to use the department store unless the employee was fired.″ Kang Da-mi apologized and asked for leniency again, but Jeon Jin-hee drew a line, saying, ″I said I don’t want any action taken against the department store. I was simply exercising my right as a customer who is dissatisfied with the service and will no longer patronize that department store.″ Jeon Jin-hee also referred to Kang Da-mi’s past remarks, pointing out, ″Manager Kang, when I asked if you were just going to live for today, you answered, ’Yes, I guess so.’″ She warned, ″It’s good to fight for your junior employees’ jobs, but from now on, you should think carefully before rushing in.″ In the end, Kang Da-mi left the office without any significant outcome. Meanwhile, Jo Mi-mi (Kim Hee-jung) gave Kang Dae-chi 80 million won, which Kang Da-mi had saved as her wedding fund, to resolve Kang Dae-chi’s financial problems. Jo Mi-mi emphasized, ″This money is not just a gift. No matter how many years it takes, you must return it to your mother.″ Kang Dae-chi hid from Jo Mi-mi the fact that he borrowed money to keep his promise to Kang Da-mi. After giving the wedding fund without informing Kang Da-mi in advance, Jo Mi-mi was left alone, revealing her complicated feelings. The episode also depicted Kang Da-mi leaving the department store.
