Received: 20-04-2025 Accepted: 25-07-2025 Published: 02-09-2025 Abstract: This research discusses the psychological condition experienced by Kim Ji Young and how her husband's role in supporting her mental recovery process.
This research uses three theories, namely Cognitive Theory by Aaron T.
Beck.
Emotional Support Theory by Shelley E.
Taylor, and Theory of Personal Growth by Abraham Maslow.
The method used is a qualitative descriptive approach, by analyzing several important scenes in the film Kim Ji Young: Born 1982.
The results show that Kim experiences great inner pressure because she must carry out many roles at once as a mother, wife, and daughter-in-law, but does not get enough emotional support.
This makes Kim feel depressed, confused, and sometimes even feel that she cannot control herself or does not recognize what she is doing.
In addition.
Kim also often blames herself and imagines bad things that are not necessarily happening.
On the other hand, her husband tries to be a good listener, give her space, and keep learning to be better.
Although not perfect, he seems to have the intention and effort to grow with Kim.
This research shows that in domestic relationships, a sense of security and emotional support is very important so that each of us can develop and be mentally healthy.
Keywords: psychological, emotional support, dual roles, loss of self-control, relationship growth.
The characters in a movie have a huge impact on the storyline, and unique characters, such as inspirational heroes, are often created to increase audience interest.
In this research the writer will take one example of a literary work that is used, namely a film.
This film, as a form of modern literature, plays an important role in depicting social conflict through visual and narrative elements.
The writer takes the movie Kim Ji Young:
Born 1982 which tells the story of a woman who looks normal from the outside as a But if you look deeper, it turns out that she has a heavy inner burden.

INTRODUCTION
Literature does not only exist in writing in books, but also through movies, poems, songs, dramas, and others, all of which have a unique power to convey ideas, emotions, and human The researcher will provide an explanation that supports that literature includes various forms of expression, such as films, novels, songs, and poetry.
Films can be considered as visual literature that combines narrative, character, and aesthetic elements.

Young experiences hallucinations, where she These hallucinations arise not because of direct pressure from those closest to her, but rather because of her own inner conflict.
As a woman, she feels trapped between two choices: first, she wants to keep working and have a career, or focus on being an ideal housewife.
AuHallucinations are one of the symptoms of mental disorders in which patients experience sensory perception changes: sensing false sensations in the form of sounds, visions, tastes, smellsAy (Direja.
Hallucinations can arise when a person can no longer distinguish between sounds coming from their own mind and sounds from outside.
In Ji Young's case, the hallucinations appeared as a form of confusion and stress within her.
Since she could not be honest about her heart and her choices, she turned to others to talk to.
She was not pressured directly by her family or husband, but rather the social standards that were ingrained in her.
Because before marriage, she was a career woman so when she became a housewife, she always thought about when she worked, and on the other hand she was also required to fully focus on her role as a wife, daughter, mother and pressure from her motherin-law, it became a burden for Kim.
The theory used to analyse the hallucination symptoms in this film is the Cognitive Theory of Hallucinations developed by Aaron T.
Beck.
This theory explains that hallucinations can arise when individuals cannot distinguish between internal thoughts and external reality (Beck, 1.
In Kim Ji Young's case, the hallucinations do not stem from a pure psychotic disorder, but rather as a response to her inner distress or unpreparedness for the roles of wife, daughter, mother, pressure from her mother-in-law and her personal desires.
In this research, the writer chose this topic because the writer is interested in the way this movie shows the psychological side of Kim Ji Young.
The writer analysis.
AuHow Kim overcome her suffering.
Ay The question makes researchers want to know more about how internal pressure can affect a person's mental This is very important because many women also feel the same way, but sometimes they don't realize it or even consider it as This research is important because it not only looks at the aspects of feminism and patriarchal culture that have been widely discussed, but also delves deeper into the psychological aspects that have not been specifically studied in this film.
Previous studies have examined the film Kim Ji Young:
Born 1982 from various perspectives.
For example, the study titled AuRepresentasi budaya patriarki di Korea Selatan dalam film Kim Ji Young born 1982Ay by Riyadi and Fauziah .
highlights symbols of patriarchal culture in Korean society.
Then, the study by Kaestiningtyas.

Meanwhile.

in their study titled AuKonfusianisme dalam Film Kim Ji Young Born 1982: Perspektif SemiotikaAy discusses the influence of Confucian values in shaping Kim Ji Young's character.
However, studies that specifically address hallucinations and internal pressure based on cognitive theory, as well as how the role of the spouse in this case, the husband contributes to mental recovery, remain very limited.
Therefore, this research aims to answer two main questions: How Kim hallucinations, and husband's support overcome her suffering.
The novelty of this research lies in the approach which combines psychological and symptoms in the film, particularly within the context of women's roles in modern society.
Previous studies have tended to highlight aspects of Gender Inequality Representation, patriarchal culture, and Semiotic Perspectives in this film.
However, this study will focus on cognitive psychological aspects and emotional support as triggers and solutions for the internal conflicts experienced by the main character.
Some previous studies regarding this topic have supported this study.
The First in an article written by Siti Isminarni .

Using a qualitative descriptive method, the results show that Nash kinesthetics, visual, and musical intelligences, as well as visual, auditory, and kinesthetics learning styles.
This research emphasizes the intelligences to support learning.
The similarity with this study is that both use a psychological approach and analyse the main character in the film, but Isminarni's focus is more on intelligence and learning styles, while this study highlights inner conflict and emotional support in the mental recovery process.

The results of the case study showed that the application of Implementation Strategy 1 was significantly able to reduce hallucination symptoms and improve the patient's ability to control these The similarity with this study lies in the focus on mental disorders in the form of hallucinations, but the difference is that the research by Tiya Meliana emphasizes more on clinical nursing approaches in the medical world, while this study examines hallucination disorders through psychological approaches in film media (Meliana & Sugiyanto, 2.

The main focus of this research is to analyze how Elle's personality is reflected in the film, especially through a psychological approach.
This research uses a descriptive qualitative method by directly observing the film and classifying relevant scenes and dialog.
The theory used comes from the psychological approach, specifically the theory of personality structure .
d, ego, and supereg.
The results of this study show that Elle's behavior is influenced by the id personality structure and is influenced by internal and external factors.
The similarity with this study is that both discuss female characters who have inner conflicts and are influenced by social pressure.
The difference lies in the focus of the approach.
if this study uses a psychological approach, other studies focus more on feminism and social approaches.
(Priyoto & Ramadhina, 2.
From several previous studies, the author sees that what distinguishes this research is the object raised, namely the movie Kim Ji Young:
Born 1982.
This movie has not been widely discussed in terms of hallucination symptoms and inner distress experienced by the character.
Other studies mostly focus on the issue of feminism, multiple intelligences, or medical Meanwhile, this research wants to see how social pressure and role conflict in a woman can make hallucinations appear as a form of psychological reaction, and how the role of emotional support from the closest people, especially her husband, can help her recovery The author also uses a slightly different approach, which is a combination of Aaron T.
Beck's cognitive theory and Shelley E.
Taylor's emotional support theory.
This research not only looks at the symptoms of hallucinations from a medical or personality perspective, but also tries to illustrate how unprepared she is to have multiple roles.
Through the character of Kim Ji Young, who is caught between her personal desires and her role as a mother, wife, and daughter, this research shows that the pressure from within is sometimes more severe than the pressure from others.
The hallucinations she experiences are not because she is directly pressured by her family, but rather because she cannot be honest about what she feels and wants.
That's where the uniqueness and novelty of this research comes in looking at movies and issues.
To achieve the purpose of this research, the author uses the theoretical approaches of Psychology and Sociology.
Psychology is used to see how Kim as the first character is not ready to have a dual role.
Through Kim's character she is trapped between her personal desires and her role as a mother, wife, daughter, and pressure from her mother-in-law.
While Sociology, to see how Kim's husband became one of Kim's supporters in this situation or became a support system for Kim.

Psychology is the study of how humans think, feel and behave in everyday life.
Through these theories, we can find out why people can feel stressed, anxious, sad for long periods of time, and even experience mental disorders such as hallucinations or depression.
These things usually do not come suddenly, but rather due to an accumulation of thoughts, either from within, such as feeling like a failure, confused about the direction of life, or feeling useless, or from outside, for example due to pressure from family, work, or social demands.
Cognitive Theory by Aaron T.
Beck's In the 1960s.
Aaron Beck developed cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) or cognitive Since then, it has been extensively researched and found to be effective in a large number of outcome studies for some psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, substance abuse, and personality disorders.
(Chand.
Kuckel, & Huecker, 2.
CognitiveBehavioural Theory (CBT) is a highly effective and widely used psychotherapeutic approach to address a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Known for its focus on the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
CBT aims to help individuals understand and change their thought patterns and actions.
Hallucinations which is a false perception or assumption that something exists and is real when in reality it is just a delusion.
Distortion in Information Processing In this theory, a person's brain misinterprets their own thoughts as outside voices.
In some scenes.
Kim Ji Young speaks as if she is someone else, such as her late grandmother or her own mother.
This can be seen as a form of Aumild hallucination or dissociationAy, where her repressed mind voices her grievances and sense of injustice.
Kim Ji Young is unaware that she is speaking like someone else as her own thoughts and emotions are AucapturedAy by her brain as outside voices.
The explanation of distortion in information processing leading to hallucinations is drawn from Beck & RectorAos cognitive model of hallucinations, which discusses externalizing bias, faulty reality testing, and misattribution of inner speech as external voices (Beck & Rector, 2.
Cognitive Distortions Cognitive distortions are symptoms characterized by irrational or exaggerated thought patterns that reinforce negative beliefs and emotions.
Examples of cognitive distortions include dwelling on negativity, overgeneralizing, exaggerating a situation, or characterizing something as good or bad.
Overgeneralization Overgeneralization is the process of Audrawing a general conclusion about their ability, performance, or worth on the basis of a single incidentAy.
For example, if you get rejected once when applying for a job, then you immediately think.
AuI'll never be able to work Ay Even though it's just one experience, it's immediately assumed to apply This kind of mindset makes a person quickly give up and feel that everything will always be bad, even though this is not necessarily the case.
Personalization (Self-Blam.
Personalization describes Authe patientAos proclivity to relate external events to himself when there is no basis for making such a For example, when a mother feels that her child is sick because she is a bad mother, even though a child's illness can be caused by many things.
This way of thinking makes a person feel guilty all the time and adds unnecessary mental stress.
(Whalley, 2.
Sociological Sociological perspective is defined as:
seeing the general in the particular (Berger.
This tells us that sociologists look for general patterns in the behavior of particular It is true that every individual is unique but society shapes the lives of people in various categories very differently.
You will begin to see the world sociologically when you start realizing how the general categories into which we fall shape our particular life experiences.

The focus of sociology is to understand, analyse and explain social events, interactions, patterns and provide Tia Nurhasanah.

explanations for the reasons why events happen as they do.
To do this, sociologists employ A sociological theory therefore refers to a set of concepts that explains different aspects of social interactions as well as reality and creates propositions that are testable about the society.
Emotional Support Theory by Shelley E.
Taylor .
Taylor's underscores the importance of social support, especially emotional support, in influencing a person's well-being and mental health.
Emotional support can help individuals to feel supported, listened to and understood, thereby reducing stress and feelings of loneliness, as well as increasing self-confidence and selfesteem.
Providing Love and Affection In domestic life, this means that a husband shows that he loves his spouse, not just through words but also through simple actions - such as hugging, paying attention when she is tired, or simply saying thank you.
According to Taylor, this affection can reduce the level of stress hormones, making one feel more secure and Being a Good Listener Taylor emphasizes that when someone is facing a problem, being genuinely listened to can be very comforting.
Husbands who are willing to listen to their wives' complaints without immediately judging or interrupting, help their wives feel valued and understood.
This strengthens the emotional bond between the two.

METHOD
This research uses a qualitative approach that utilizes qualitative data to be analysed This approach is suitable for analysing the film Kim Ji Young: Born 1982, specifically to answer two main issues: how Ji Young experiences hallucinations, and how her husband's role in dealing with the condition.
This method helps the researcher to explain the inner conflict and husband-wife relationship in depth through dialog, scenes, storylines and emotional messages in the film.
The main data comes from the movie Kim Ji Young: Born 1982 which was analysed through several viewings to get important scenes.
The Tia Nurhasanah.

researcher observed and recorded dialog, character expressions, and key moments that illustrate the symptoms of hallucinations and forms of support from her husband.
Secondary data came from journals, articles, and previous research that supported the analysis, including Aaron T.
Beck's theory of hallucinations as well as the theory of roles in the family.
With this method, the researcher can explain that Kim hallucinations arise because of her unpreparedness to have a dual role.
On the other hand, the role of her husband can also be analysed more deeply as a supporting figure who helps Kim recover through concrete actions such as inviting consultations and taking time off work for family.
happening outside.
Second, the researcher also observed how her husband behaved.
His actions, such as offering to take time off work so that Kim can focus on herself, are considered a form of emotional support.
This is in line with Shelley E.
Taylor's theory, which states that even simple forms of support like this can make someone feel calmer, loved, and not alone.
Third, the researchers linked Kim's condition to Abraham Maslow's theory of basic human From several scenes, it was clear that Kim did not feel safe, was not being heard, and was not fully accepted by those closest to her.
Since her basic needs were not being met, it was only natural that she was unable to grow and become the best version of herself.
From all this analysis, researchers conclude that the pressure Kim experiences stems from her unpreparedness to handle dual roles and the constant accumulation of emotional stress.
However, on the other hand, her husbandAos supportAithough imperfectAiplays a crucial role in helping Kim emerge from this situation and gradually recover mentally.
Procedures This research uses qualitative methods to collect data.
So, the main data is taken from the movie Kim Ji Young: Born 1982.
The researcher watched the movie several times to get the important scenes, especially those that show how Kim experiences hallucinations and how her husband always helps and supports his During the viewing, the researcher took notes on the dialogues, scenes in the form of pictures and important moments that were connected to the topic of the theory.
Not only that, we also looked for additional information from journals, articles, or other studies that discuss hallucinations .
uch as Aaron T.
Beck's theor.
and theories about the role of family In this way, the researcher was able to better understand Kim's conflict and see more clearly how her husband's role in her healing process.
All the data collected was then analyse descriptively so that the results could be explained more easily and succinctly.
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
It talks about how Kim experienced hallucinations and how her husband played a big role in her recovery process.
In the movie Kim Ji Young: Born 1982.
Kim often acted as if she was someone else, showing that she was under a lot of mental stress.
At first, she doesn't have the space to talk, but as time goes on, she realizes that she needs help.
Her husband not only listened, but also actively asked Kim to seek counseling, help look after her son and take time off work for the family.
This support helped Kim to slowly recover from social pressure and the burden of her dual role as a Data analysis After all the data was collected, the researchers analyzed it by explaining it in detail and linking it to relevant theories.
First, the researcher examined the dialogues and scenes in the film that exhibited signs of psychological distress, then linked them to Aaron T.
Beck's Cognitive Theory.
For example, when Kim Ji Young was confused because she couldn't remember having drunk beer, even though there was a beer can nearby, this could be associated with Frith's self-monitoring error theory.
This means that Kim is struggling to distinguish between her own thoughts and reality, as if her thoughts are no longer in sync with what is Hallucination Distortion in Information Processing The Distortion in Information Processing theory says that a person's brain misinterprets their own thoughts as outside voices.
In this case.
Kim Ji Young was unaware that she was talking like someone else .
her mother or grandmothe.
, as her emotions and hidden thoughts came out spontaneously, and were perceived by herself as not her.
The scene clearly occurs at 00:11:42.
When the daughter, husband, and granddaughter of the mother-in-law came, the mother-in-law suddenly told Kim Ji Young to make Jeon and Tia Nurhasanah.
Siti Isminarni & Retno Ramadhina The Mindfulness and Husband Support Overcome KimAos Suffering In Kim Ji Young Born:1982 Movie .
get plates, spoons, and chopsticks.
The daughter said, "Mom.
I can do it," but the mother-in-law said, "You don't have to, let Kim do it.
" Then she told Kim, "You're tired, take a " But not long after.
Kim suddenly said something strange.
Kim: Mother-in-law.
I really want to rest, let me go home.
Isn't that how it should be? My mom must want to see her daughter happy at the festival, right? I want to see my daughter too.
Mother-in-law: What's this kid saying.
Kim: Because your daughter is here and let my daughter go.
You should take care of the family and go.
How sad is my family? Father-in-law: Mrs.
Ah-Young, what are you doing? Kim : Dad.
I'm also a daughter.
In this section, it can be seen that Kim is not speaking as herself, but as if it is the voice of her own mother or Kim's grandmother.
This is reinforced by the phrase AuI want to see my daughter tooAy and the word Aumy daughterAy which indirectly suggests that she is speaking from another person's perspective.
She doesn't say Aumy daughter,Ay but Aumy daughterAy which indirectly suggests that she is acting as her This shows that she is assuming the role of someone else rather than herself.
This proof is further strengthened by the second sentence as well where Kim says AuLet my daughter goAy.
This means that Kim no longer refers to herself as me, but refers to herself as Aumy daughterAy, which means she is in the position of a mother who is defending her daughter.
This is a sign of dissociation or distortion in information processing, where her mind processes deep emotions and inner distress by taking the point of view of another person, in this case her mother.
At the end Kim says to her father with the phrase AuDad.
I'm also a daughterAy this shows an important part that further strengthens that Kim Ji Young is experiencing a distortion in The second proof is at minute 0:38:38.
The scene occurs when Kim wakes up at night and Jung Dae-hyung is sleeping on the sofa.
Then her husband woke up because he saw Kim drinking a canned drink and this conversation will be the second evidence.
Jung Dae-Hyun: Are you drinking? Are you angry? Are you afraid of how to drink? It seems like you're angry.
I'm sorry.
Kim Ji Young: Hey.
Jung Dae-Hyun.
Young has been suffering recently.
Even though she's been weaned, her body is a little weak.
But she's very anxious.
Talk to her more.
Good, thank you.
Jung Dae-Hyun: Ji Young In this part, it seems that Kim isn't speaking as himself, but he seems to be speaking from the perspective of AoKimAo who is actually himself but perceived as someone else.
This can be seen from the sentence AuJi Young has been suffering recentlyAy which is actually talking to herself but feels like talking about someone else, this is a clear sign that her mind is chaotic and divided reinforced by the sentences Auher body is a little weakAy and Aubut she is very anxiousAy which are all mentioned by talking to someone else.
So, it's like she's two different people, one who talks to Jung Dae-Hyun and one who she talks to.
This sentence shows a disturbance in her thought process, where her mind AocapturesAo her own feelings and condition as an external voice, rather than as her own thoughts.
This is called distortion in information processing which is part of the theory of mild hallucination or So, overall, this dialogue shows that Kim Ji Young has a distortion in information processing, where her mind makes it seem as if she is Aotalking to someone elseAo about herself, indicating that she is experiencing mild hallucinations.
This scene occurs at 1:22:46, when Kim's mother comes to visit Kim after learning about her son's mental state from Kim's mother-inlaw.
Kim's mother shows her full support to Kim and says that she will move out of the house to take care of her grandson, so that Kim can go back to work.
But just as Kim's mom is about to leave.
Ji Young suddenly says something strange - she calls her own mother AuMi-sookAy and speaks like a mother to her The words Ji Young said were.
Kim Ji Young: Mi-sook, don't do that.
You work to support your siblings.
Every time you give your mother your salary, you look tired and weak, and it breaks my heart.
kind daughter, when you hurt your hand at work.
I was so devastated.
I'm sorry I didn't comfort you or thank you at that time.
Misook.
Forgive me.
Ji-young will be okay.
You raised her to be a strong child.
Mi-sook: My poor daughter, my precious daughter, my beloved daughter.
Dae-hyun? What happened to him? How did Ji-young Tia Nurhasanah.
Siti Isminarni & Retno Ramadhina The Mindfulness and Husband Support Overcome KimAos Suffering In Kim Ji Young Born:1982 Movie .
end up like this? Ji-young.
Don't.
Ji-young.
Mother begs you, don't.
From this, it can be clearly seen that Ji Young is not speaking as herself, but as if she's her grandmother.
This suggests that Ji Young is experiencing a mild form of hallucination or dissociation, where her repressed thoughts and long-held hurt suddenly come out in an unusual When Kim talks like this, it's like she's feeling the pain that she's been harbouring for so long and it's not just her own feelings, but also the wounds from her mother and grandmother in the past.
Kim doesn't realize that she is talking like someone else, and this shows a form of distortion in the way her brain processes information.
In other words, the heartache and trauma that she has been harbouring comes out not as her own confession, but through another person, her To strengthen the evidence we can take from Christopher Frith, in certain mental disorders such as major depression.
PTSD, or personality disorders, the brain sometimes cannot process or AurecordAy events consciously.
This is called People in this state actually experience something physically, but their brain AudisconnectsAy their memory or consciousness from the event.
As a result, they seem to not know, forget, or be confused about what they actually did.
We can see from the scene where Kim asked her husband if he drank beer last night and he said no.
Even though it did happen, it's just that Kim didn't know.
Even though it did happen, it's just that Kim doesn't remember what she did so she answered like this.
Kim Ji Young: Really? But there's a beer can next to my head.
I can taste it in my Why don't I remember? Jung Dae-hyun: In that case, go see a psychiatrist today, okay? Kim Ji Young: Alright.
IAoll go.
In the scene where Kim does not remember drinking beer, even though there is physical evidence in the form of a beer can near her head, and she says AuI can taste it in my mouthAy, this shows that she is experiencing a loss of control over herself.
He is confused and unable to remember his own actions, as if they were done by someone else.
According to Frith .
, this is related to a disturbance in self-monitoring, which is one's ability to recognize thoughts and actions as one's own.
When this process is disrupted, a person may perceive that their actions come from outside themselves, when in fact they come from themselves.
Kim Ji Young's line AuWhy don't I remember?Ay is evidence that she is beginning to doubt her own perceptions, and suggests that her mind is in such a distressed state that she cannot recognize her actions as her own.
This characterizes the distortion of information processing and loss of self-control described by Frith.
Cognitive Distortions Overgeneralization Here we can see an example of cognitive distortion, which is called overgeneralization.
So, overgeneralization is a negative mindset where someone draws big conclusions from just one or two experiences.
For example, because they failed or struggled once, they immediately think that all similar things in the future will also fail or be difficult.
Unnie: Try calling the team leader.
Kim Ji Young: Me? Unnie: Yes, you go back to work.
Kim Ji Young: I can't.
Even working parttime sometimes.
I'm already worried that it's hard to work.
Unnie: Okay, don't go to work.
Raise AhYoung well.
That's great too.
In this part, we can clearly see that Kim Ji Young is feeling unable to return to work, even though Unnie only suggested contacting the former team leader when Kim was working.
But Kim's immediate response was "I can't.
Even part-time.
I'm afraid it's hard to go to This is a clear example of Which means Kim draws big conclusions from just one or two experiences.
Because she felt scared when working part-time, she now immediately thinks that she can't do any job.
fact, it's not necessarily that every job will be difficult for her.
But because she's stuck in an overly negative mindset, she ends up feeling stuck and chooses not to try at all.
Emotional Support Providing Love and Affection According to Shelley E.
Taylor, emotional support is really important for our mental But it doesn't have to be something big or fancy.
Small but sincere things, such as being hugged, listened to, cared for, or just saying Tia Nurhasanah.

Authank youAy, can make your heart calm.
Especially if we feel loved, valued, and not alone, we are stronger to deal with problems, and stress can be reduced.
In the scene around the 1:17:00 mark, we can clearly see how Jung Dae-hyun shows his full support for his wife Kim.
When Kim starts questioning whether she can work again.
Dae-hyun doesn't hesitate to offer a solution: he's ready to take a year-long parental leave to take care of their child.
Jung Dae-hyun: Should I take parental Kim Ji Young: Oppa? Jung Dae-Hyun: I will take care of AhYoung for one year while I return to work.

The line AuI will take care of Ah-Young for one year.
Ay shows that KimAos husband.
Jung Dae-hyun, really supports her through actions, not just words.
In Shelley E.
Taylor's Emotional Support theory, things like this are really important because it makes people feel less alone when they're stressed or depressed.
When Dae-hyun offered to take care of the child for a year, it indirectly helped Kim to have the time and opportunity to pursue what she wants again, like work.
It also shows that he's loving, caring, and willing to share the responsibility, which definitely makes Kim feel stronger, more energized, and valued in their relationship.
Jung Dae-hyun's line AuDo you love me now?Ay may sound like a joke, but it actually has a deeper meaning.
Through these words.
Daehyun is building intimacy and emotional closeness with Ji Young in a light and warm The sentence AuMom can go to work now.
Tell Mom to stay motivatedAy shows that Kim feels stronger and more confident after receiving support from her husband.
The words illustrate the change in Kim's mood from hesitant and stressful, to more enthusiastic because she feels supported.
This is in line with Shelley E.
Taylor's Emotional Support theory, which states that emotional support can help a person feel understood, less alone, and more prepared to face challenges.
In this case, the encouragement from her husband gave Kim new strength to step up and live her role, both as a mother and as a woman with her own Being a Good Listener This sentence shows that Jung Dae-hyun really listens to Ji Young's feelings and anxiety.
He doesn't immediately cut or refute, but instead gives a calming and empathetic Jung Dae-hyun: Since thereAos a system in place, we should make good use of it.

AuDon't worry.
Ay is an example of Jung Daehyun's concern for Kim.
Although it sounds simple, these words can make Kim feel calmer and less alone in facing difficult situations.
According to Shelley E.
Taylor's Emotional Support theory, words like this can help reduce stress and make your heart feel calmer.
When Dae-hyun says this, it's a sign that he's ready to stand by Ji Young's side and support her in whatever she chooses, so she feels more understood and cared for.
The phrase AuDo what you want to do.
Ay shows that Jung Dae-hyun truly believes and supports whatever his wife decides.
He gives Kim the freedom to choose the life path she wants, without force or obstruction.
This is a sign that Dae-hyun understands and has great empathy for his wife.
In Shelley E.
Taylor's emotional support theory, this kind of attitude is very important because it makes someone feel valued and in control of their own choices.
With such support.
Kim can be more confident in herself and feel that someone is fully on her The line AuIAoll also use this opportunityAy shows that Jung Dae-hyun is trying to balance the situation and not make Kim feel guilty for wanting to go back to work.
By saying that.

so he's not just sacrificing for his wife.
This is an indirect form of emotional support as it makes Kim feel more relieved and less Well, this is where Maslow's theory is suitable to explain Kim's situation.
In Maslow's theory, before a person can develop or pursue dreams .
, they must feel safe, supported, and loved.
This is the main principle of Maslow's hierarchy of needs: basic needs first, then growth.
Because the basic things that Kim needs are not fulfilled, such as security and support.
So, even though her husband had good intentions and suggested a psychiatrist.
Kim couldn't accept it right away.
Because, inside, she still feels at war with the people closest to her.
Theory of Personal Growth Fulfilment of Basic Needs In domestic life.
Maslow said that husband and wife are not just life partners, but must also support each other so that each can develop into the best version of themselves.
However, people will not be able to develop if their basic needs are not met, such as not feeling safe, emotionally calm, or not feeling supported by those closest to them.
If you still feel alone, depressed, or not understood, it will be difficult for you to move forward and develop yourself, let alone pursue your dreams or personal goals.
We can see it in the scene at 1:31:53.
This scene occurs when Kim and her husband are talking about a problem where Kim told her inlaws that she would work, but her in-laws forbade her to work again on the grounds that men's salaries are greater than the income if Kim works.
So Kim told her husband that she would cancel her return to work at Chairman Kim's company.
Jung Dae-hyun: Ji Young.
That's not true.

Kim Ji Young: Stop saying it for my sake.

You, mom, and my family are all the same.
They all share the war with me.
Jung Dae-hyun: Calm yourself down and listen well.

In this scene, it really looks like Kim feels alone and depressed.
This shows that her emotional safety has not been met.
Her husband says AuI don't mind taking maternity leave.
already said that for your sakeAy He wanted to help, and had even asked Kim to see a psychiatrist, but for Kim, it wasn't something that made her feel calmer.
Instead, it became a new burden.
It was a sign that the support around her wasn't meeting her emotional needs.
When she says.
AuThey all share the war to meAy it's not just an angry sentence.
It's the voice of someone who's mentally exhausted, feels misunderstood, and lonely despite being surrounded by people.
This is very much in line with the social needs in Maslow's theory: the need to feel accepted, loved and supported emotionally has not been met.

Maslow emphasized that everyone, including in the role of a life partner, must continue to learn, introspect, and correct mistakes.
In the context of marriage, husbands are not only tasked with earning a living or being the head of the family, but also being a growth partner who supports their partner's personal development.
A husband who continues to improve himself not only helps himself grow, but also creates a safer and more comfortable household atmosphere for his wife.
A healthy relationship is not just about love, but also about commitment to grow together emotionally, mentally and physically.
In the scene where Ji Young asks her husband at 1:18:30, there is one sentence that illustrates the real form of selfimprovement.
Kim Ji Young: Can OppaAos company grant parental leave? Jung Dae-hyun: Since thereAos a system in place, we should make good use of it.

shows that Dae-hyun is not just showing passive support, but actively modelling that he too is willing to learn and grow, even in simple situations like utilizing free time to read.

This is where her inner conflict arises.
On the one hand, she wants to keep growing and have a life outside the home, but on the other hand, she is also required to fulfil the roles of wife, mother, daughter, and daughter-in-law.
Kim's unpreparedness to fulfil all these roles simultaneously is the main trigger for hallucinations, as described in Aaron Beck's cognitive theory.

In conclusion, this movie not only depicts a woman's personal problems, but also shows how important spousal support is in dealing with mental distress due to women's unpreparedness to have multiple roles.
The research also shows that the struggle to be oneself and heal from mental distress is greatly influenced by one's immediate environment, especially one's spouse.
Kim Ji Young is a living example of how one can rise slowly when given the space and support to choose their own Amalia.
