The Good Bad Mother

A heartbreaking story that can happen to anyone in their lifetime. It is full of irony and comedy. The combination of starting over and wanting to live has created a truly inspiring story. The story is very well structured. It gradually gives a glimpse into the past, which is much more nuanced than we think. The development of the main characters also plays an important role here, which determines the outcome of the story. Although some characters are a bit weak, the cinematic performance of the main characters covers up these weaknesses and creates a balance. All in all, this is a very interesting tv drama where, in addition to the nuanced story, the protagonist's perseverance and determination are truly inspiring. Also, the maternal love and self-sacrifice are very well depicted here. So, this is a must watch korean drama.

All the elements here are really good, as always, Korea has vert talented actors, writers ,directors.. etc.

Everyweek i was waiting for the episodes, today was the last one. Lots and lots of tears, but also there are laughs and smiling.. this magical way is led by kdrama.

Unfortunately, it is very hard for me to memorize all the names, but many thanks to every one in this drama, and i have to mention the cameo in episode 13, by this well known actor.

Now, i have that sad feeling after finishing a good work, they become part of your life.

I consider the kdrama a healing therapy , an amusement journey. Thank you for giving us these kind moments in my life.

The Good Bad Mother happens to be the first Korean Drama that I've watched. It may be low budget but it doesn't mean it's low on quality. The main actors do an awesome job and keep the story going at a good pace. You feel much sorrow for Young Soon and the cards that she is dealt with throughout the show. Most people in her position would have given up on life but not her, she's got pluck boy and she's got a lot of it! The story can get depressing at times but I think therein lies it's beauty. It has the guts to show you that life more often than not knocks you down but you can choose to get up and keep going just as Kang Ho and Young soon show us. The comedy here is subjective and brought to the audience by the supporting cast, I like it though. It's a simplistic show that will win your heart if you give it a chance.

Simply put this drama has some of the most touching and funniest scenes in K drama history. This highly original series delights from beginning to end. So well directed the 14 episodes just fly by. Not a single irritating or unnecessary scene. Wish it could have been longer.

The actors are magnificent. Ra Mi Ran as Good Bad Mother is the best actress in a drama this year by far. Such a complex role played to perfection. Lee Do Hyun finally got a role that suits him perfectly and he acted just right as the mentally 7 year old man. Never overdone with the facial expressions. In his other roles he had a goofy look at times and it is well used here. Ahn Eun Jin had the right expression of looking like she wantes to cry but could not. But the scene stealers are the two adorable kids Seo Jin and Ye Jin. The little girl was great in Our Blues last year. Good bad guy Sam Sik is hilarious. Even the pigs are cute.

This show is the best mix of comedy, revenge thriller and heartfelt relationship drama especially mother & child. Top 10 series of all time.

The mother in question is played superbly by Ra Mi-ran who's husband, a pig farmer dies in suspicious circumstances and because of the lack of a proper investigation forces her son played by Choi Kang-ho to study to be a prosecutor to supply justice for the oppressed. She is cruel and makes him go hungry and cruelly punishes him if he is swayed by friends or she finds him drawing which he really enjoys. He qualifies but then turns against his mother and childhood sweetheart and associates with the people implicated in his fathers demise. Following a suspicious accident he reverts to a child and his mother gets an opportunity to mend their broken relationship and to correct all her wrongs from the past. It has a good story with top acting by the cast of the village where they live and even though they are poor their love and support for each other is warming.
