Madeo

This is the second time I rate a TV series with 10 stars. I never thought I'd watch something this good. I think this is the best I have ever watched. It's as close to perfection as it can get.

There were times when I thought that something was wrong or weird, but it was explained later. No plotholes, no decline in quality as it progressed, some unexpected plot twists.

Not much else to write. The word "perfect" sums everything up.

* I guess the only problem with this drama is that it's hard to watch some scenes because of the tears in the eyes.

I was very curious to watch this KDrama because of the very high rating of 9.1 even higher than my favorites ...It is indeed watchable and therefore recommended....The story-telling was just right and it was not slow, dragging and boring..It has a unique plot again which is usual for a KDrama and the criminal who turns out to be the good samaritan is the winner at the end....something like the good prevails over evil....I actually expected this to be heavy drama with lots of crying...but I was surprised that I only became teary-eyed from episode 13 onwards...I cried even harder with CLOY and other fantasy comedy romance shows....As expected, there was not a humor sequence and the romance is only a bit of teaser.....still one of the best shows for me.

This is by far one of my favorite Kdramas. I love a show that can give me a good cry. It was beautifully tragic if that makes sense. It showed me the kindness that still exists in the world among the evil. The child actress is so talented. You could see the pain and sadness she felt as if it wasn't a role. I love how everything came full circle. By the end I had no questions, everything was solved. It deserves more recognition and views then what it actually got. I would highly recommend watching this show.

Simply speaking, 'Mother' is one of the best dramas out there!

This drama deep dives into sensitive topics such as physical abuse, motherhood and childhood trauma while never dragging any of these too long so as to lose interest. The plot instantly grabs your attention and first episode sets-up the story nicely. Not one minute is wasted with fillers or narrative that doesn't contribute to the plot. I was heavily invested in the lead characters and was crying my eyes out especially during final few episodes.

Testament to how good the story is: original Japanese drama has been remade in various languages such as Korean, Chinese and Thai.

I will remember:

• Top notch acting by the mother (Lee Bo Young) and the child (Heo Yool, this kid deservedly won the rookie award at Baeksang). Rest of the cast did great as well
• Evocative and engaging screenplay filled with heart-warming moments
• Beautiful portrayal of multifaceted mother-child relationship
• Satisfying ending

There is nothing to even nitpick, its an easy recommendation for anyone who is looking for an highly emotional drama with an engaging plot or people who are close to their mothers.

P.S. Keep a box of tissues with you if you decide to watch this :')

No better show that Call me Mother. This is the best show ever. The emotions that it invokes will completely drain your eyes and makes you heart ache. Almost every episode has made me cry. This is an abolute gem that need to be treasured and cherised. The Acting from two main leads Mom and Yom-booki (thats how she will be remembered) have competely lived through the characters never it came to my mind i was watching a show. K-Dramas knows how to strike you with emotion and open the flood gates from your eyes and this one has done it consistently in each episodes. I am so glad the way it ended with a satisfying note. The dialogues from the child mouth are to be framed on every wall of my house. I have appreciated shows and movies before , But never have i wanted to truly show gratitude in making one. (Call me mother and My Mister) Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every one Cast and crew involved to gave the opportunity to experience this in my life. Why in the world is this show did not draw attention and why low number of votes is beyond me. MUST MUST Watch for all human beings.
