You worked so hard. You graduated your daughter while continuing to do dramas.

Despite financial constraints, Oh Hyun-kyung committed to continuous work, taking on numerous drama roles to fund her daughter's studies in Boston. Fellow actress Lee Il-hwa, who appeared on the show, acknowledged Oh's dedication, stating, "You worked so hard. You graduated your daughter while continuing to do dramas."

Chae-ryung, who has since graduated, is now preparing for graduate studies. Initially, Oh expressed concern about the financial burden of supporting further education. However, her daughter proactively decided to fund her own graduate studies by working, a decision that fills Oh with pride. "She said she would earn money here and go, so she is working now," Oh shared, highlighting her daughter's independent spirit.
