She considered herself 'not such a bad mom' in the interview.

"I work as much as I want to and I had Ji-yoo when I was mentally ready. I let her do things on her own. I want her to be strong and have a center of her own. I want her to be able to do things without her parents. Ji Sung thinks the same way, too".

Her daughter might be influenced by the fact that her parents are both actors. Lee Bo-young said, "I don't want her to start early. If she wants to act when she's over twenty and she has a mind of her own, then I would support her, but I don't want her acting young. Looking at Yoon-bok (Heo Yool), I believe she was meant to act, but I don't think Ji-yoo has what is takes".

Lee Bo-young wants to focus on caring for her child for a while and said, "I feel so bad for Ji-yoo 'cause mommy has to work and I wanted her to understand so I took her to work, but she was jealous of Heo Yool. I decided then that I would spend more time with her after "Mother - Drama"".

Meanwhile, Lee Bo-young starred in the drama "Mother - Drama" as Soo-jin, a woman who becomes a mother to an 8 year-old girl who is abandoned by her own mother.
