This study examines how Cha Mu-hee’s childhood wounds and psychological changes form a growth narrative. Using Bradshaw’s inner-child theory and Weiland’s Positive Change Arc, the series was qualitatively analyzed. Mu-hee confronts the link between her past and present, changes negative self-beliefs and avoidant patterns, and makes different choices. The study shows how psychological healing leads to changes in choice and action, shaping narrative growth.
