Angry Mom

Korean drama always do a really good job on influence people in a positive way, this one definitely does. Even the main character background don't really happens in the reality, but the story it's trying to tell is very true. I really hope more television series and movies could influence the real world in a positive way like this one did, and also show us the pyramid social structure in our society. And I really loved Kim Yoo-jung and Kim Hee-sun.

The first few episodes are quite absorbing. The viewer will want to see how Mom goes undercover and uncovers the bullies. Things lead to a bigger murder conspiracy and building construction corruption and politicians. The actors are quite good. Kim Hee Sun as Mom isn't that young looking to pass tof 19 but she is okay. Kim Yoo Jung shows her star potential as her daughter. Ji Soo is quite funny as her classmate and he provides the only laughs in the show. Strangely there is an American Big Band jazzy soundtrack with some stylish Korean / English songs composed in that style. This series would have been good if it had been shortened by a few episodes. The last third is stretched out and repetitive. Taking down the corrupt politicians feels contrived and cliched and things go round and round in circles for a while.

A youthful looking mother returns to school because her daughter is being bullied. It is a well acted drama but the comedy moments seem out of sync with the dark story.
