Kim Hye-eun’s performance as U-yeon’s mother, Seong Kyeong, is quite crucial in the overall storyline. Her behavior towards U-yeon had such an impact that it affected her confidence. Seong Kyeong’s past with ballet made her insecure about her own issues; hence, to prevent her daughter from facing the same struggles, she tried to protect U-yeon.

However, in doing so, she began to negatively impact U-yeon’s life. At the end of the series, U-yeon’s mother is finally able to reveal her past struggles to U-yeon and even helps her buy the supplies she needs.

Yet another significant character in the series is U-yeon’s brother, U-dol. His storyline in Spirit Fingers is also quite heartbreaking. As the youngest member of the family, U-dol often feels constant pressure from his parents to improve. Young minds, such as U-dol’s, often mistake parental anger for resentment, making it even more harmful.

U-dol believes his father’s harsh behavior towards him is his mother’s fault. This causes him to become extremely angry with his family. He eventually decides to leave the house, which creates immense tension between U-yeon and her family. U-dol’s actions ultimately help U-yeon’s parents realize the impact their behavior has had on their children.
