Woo Ah-jin tones down and says, "You're out".

When a man abandons his family, two women have different ways of dealing with it. Kim Hee-sun would yell and Woo Ah-jin would be graceful about it.

"I need to express but not Woo Ah-jin, so it's not easy".

She says it's not easy. She is frustrated at Woo Ah-jin. That is possible because Woo Ah-jin is elegant and graceful. That's just not how Kim Hee-sun does it.

Kim Hee-sun and Woo Ah-jin are so different but how does she do it. "I am straightforward but Woo Ah-jin doesn't easily express her feelings.

Let's take her husband (Jung Sang-hoon) for example. He lives in his mistress's house. When his wife is in the hospital, he hangs up on her saying, Seong-hee (Lee Tae-im) is also sick.

Kim Hee-sun couldn't understand Woo Ah-jin at first. She claims, "It was hard to control my feelings so I guess the viewers might have felt the same way, too".

However, misunderstanding turned to understanding. She realized Woo Ah-jin's 'big picture'.

"I realized there's something more important than individual feelings. Woo Ah-jin put a lot into thought; a mother, a wife and a daughter-in-law. I guess wise women do that".

"It's not always the best answer to express your feelings. Sometimes, no feelings can be scarier. Woo Ah-jin is mature like that".

"The Lady in Dignity" is about the scandalous upper class society. It's very extreme but Kim Hee-sun doesn't think so. She learns life through this drama.

"It was hard to oppress an emotion that boils inside of you. Through Woo Ah-jin, I learned to pace my dignity".

"The Lady in Dignity" Woo Ah-jin trains herself to stand alone while Park Bok-ja (Kim Sun-a) holds the key to death.
