Jillibean Apr 04 2025 1:40 pm I still remember her and miss her, all these years later. Such a gentle presence on screen. RIP.

tncdel Aug 08 2017 2:39 am I just learned of her death. About a week before she died I had voted her 95 percent. I liked her a lot. She was so funny in High Kick Through the Roof. And she was a very good actress. I would never have imagined her dying before she was at least over 90 years old, because she seemed so energetic and full of life.

robbo4 Nov 18 2014 10:29 am One of my very favorites. I will miss seeing her beautiful face and having her immense talents being displayed on screen. Thank you for touching our lives, Kim Ja Ok.

Ramil Nov 17 2014 8:37 pm Sorry to hear of her passing. She was a wonderful actress and still will be many years later. Please rest in peace.

Yasmin Nov 16 2014 12:40 pm I'm so sad to hear about her death so suddenly, to young to die! You have always been the kdrama mom who I found endearing even if you played the evil character. I loved your smile and your personality, may you rest in peace..

gasenadi Nov 16 2014 6:38 am So sad to hear of her passing. May she rest in peace.

Cavenurse Nov 16 2014 1:33 am Her suffering is past. Strangers will shed tears for her. I will pray for her soul. Her films and dramas help to keep her memory relevant to those who remain.

anney Nov 15 2014 10:06 pm just heard today tht she passed away due to lung cancer. such a great actress too. so sad! loved her role in My Lovely Sam Soon. gonna miss her!!!

tamarelle Apr 26 2014 5:13 am Fantastic actress! I thought she absolutely deserved to be called THE MAIN character in Ojakgyo Brothers!

Collibosher Jan 11 2013 10:24 am Not only is Kim Ja-Ok one truly fine actress, but she she must rate right up there as about the cutest 'halmonie' in Korea. A woman this age doesn't usually come with that "awwww" factor. This one certainly does!

Anneliese Jun 04 2012 1:27 am Love you so much! You gained a popularity for your cheerful depiction on a woman of the new generation of Asian Continent.

Robert Apr 17 2012 3:26 pm I was so disappointed when Ojakgyo Family show ended. I have just gotten use to the fact that Korean tv seems to end there shows to quick. I loved Iris and Ojakgyo Family I personally thought they could have taken these two shows so much farther. I think you did a great job along with your costars will miss my Saturday morning Ojakgyo show.

kar Dec 02 2011 6:22 pm how could you become 'the mother of the nation' ? is that because you always act the main role's mother? well most probably you have lot of surgery but i must admit they work. you look great for your age. i mean i never could imagine you're 60. really awesome.

FableCat Oct 14 2011 2:23 am I love you when I saw you in Pretty Mom Pretty Lady. I hate you in Ojakgyo family where you have to play a sly lady (well a bit sly) and yet I can't help but understanding your character feeling in there. Both drama showed you as a wonderful mother which I guess it is true. You are really awesome and talented. <3

LoonyLizard Jul 24 2011 11:26 am It's a rare actress who can portray with the range of depth that you do, dear lady. You made me laugh in "My Name Is Kim Sam-soon," and you were a splash of cream and sugar to mellow the acidity in "Coffee Prince." I can't wait to discover the rest of your work, each one is such a delight.

Jayanti Dec 14 2010 1:04 am She is very beautiful & talented actress.
