[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] In the episode aired on the afternoon of the 23rd on KBS2 drama 'Once Again,' Lee Minjung informed Kim Boyeon that she showed symptoms of 'alcohol-related dementia.'


That day, Song Nahee (Lee Minjung) hesitated to tell Yoon Kyujin (Sangyeop Lee) about the strange symptoms previously shown by Choi Yoonjung (Kim Boyeon) but ultimately kept silent. She then went to see Choi Yoonjung separately.


Choi Yoonjung, whose relationship with Kyujin worsened because of Nahee, coldly asked, "What is it?" But Nahee began to ask, "About what happened yesterday, was that the first time you experienced such symptoms? Did suddenly familiar things not come to mind? Did your forgetfulness worsen? Or did you have symptoms of severe mood swings?"


Kim Boyeon felt uncomfortable, saying, "Are you interrogating me?" but Song Nahee continued, "How often do you drink per week? It seems like you usually drink alone at home, so how often and how much? Do you often experience blackouts, meaning memory lapses?"


When Kim Boyeon looked puzzled, Song Nahee firmly said, "Don’t be flustered and listen. I think you have alcohol-related dementia. I asked a senior who specializes in this, and it seems like typical dementia symptoms. You need to get a detailed examination before it’s too late. Don’t just overlook what I’m saying; please get tested first," she advised.


However, Choi Yoonjung snapped, "You’re really funny. How old do you think I am, accusing me of dementia?" In response, Song Nahee said, "Alcohol-related dementia has nothing to do with age. It can occur even in your 30s." Then Choi Yoonjung said, "I don’t want to associate with you," and chased Song Nahee away.



The KBS2 drama 'Once Again' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 7:55 PM.
