SEOUL, August 28 (Yonhap) -- "I will find you, and kill you."

In the movie "Limit," which will be released on August 31, a police officer Soyeon's (played by actress Lee Jung-hyun) child was kidnapped by a gang and the line above shows how determined she is to arrest the kidnapper. A police officer saying this line, shows how motherhood has limited the sane. 

So-yeon loses her mind as she sees something that looks like her child's finger. Yeonjoo (played by Jin Seo-yeon) faints and cries.  However, even in extreme circumstances, motherhood has the power to focus her attention on saving her child.

So-yeon, who is half insane, looks for the criminal with full revenge and will, being a mother, not a police officer. She also takes being accused as an accomplice to a criminal organization very seriously. ​

During an interview Lee Jung-hyun had at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on August 26, she said, "I felt like I shouldn't explode my emotions," and "I had to act till the end while surpassing my emotions. just for the child. " 

So-yeon is armed with a rifle that seems burdensome just to hold, as she has a small body and chases the criminal in an amusement park and in a forest. There are quite a few action scenes, including hand-to-hand combat. Lee Jung-hyun said, "It's not a great action, but an action that blocks with my body," but explained, "I wore a sleeveless jumper because I thought it would maximize the feeling of So-eun's obsession if she looked small."

"After giving birth to a child, I start tearing up only by watching documentary programs which show children." Lee Jung-hyun became a real mother earlier this year after playing So-yeon, a character full of motherhood. However, on the set, she made the child actor call her "Mom" to feel more comfortable. 

Lee Jung-hyun made her debut with the movie "A Petal" (1996), which was about the Gwangju Democratization Movement. Even after more than 20 years have passed and she has become a mother, the image of a strong girl in the movie "A Petal" still remains. In director Yeon Sang-ho's new drama "Parasite: The Gray," she played the role of Choi Jun-kyung, a character who lives only to eradicate the parasite after losing her husband. She said, "I only get characters who are having a hard time and tough after debuting with the movie "A Petal," However, as I continue acting out those characters, it feels like I am used to it and the character goes well with me."

Some generations remember her as a techno female warrior who sang with a pinky microphone and a Hallyu star who dominated China. Lee Jung-hyun said she has been devoted to acting for more than 10 years, but she still has thoughts about her singing career.

"There are not many actresses who continue their acting careers consistently and distinctly, My dream is to continue acting even when I'm old, and as a mom,I want my child to grow up well."
