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.

Negative reviews? What show are you watching? This show is a hidden GEM and done really well. Acting is superb and you feel every feeling they're portraying. Such a great story of a mom and her son and the journey they go thru. Deep and it'll make you think about your loved ones and friends. Rest assured you're gonna laugh, cry, get angry, and feel warm inside. The main actress and actor along with all the supporting cast, all do such an amazing job and work well together. I'm on episode 8 and can't wait a week for the next episode. If you want to binge the next best show, watch this now. You won't regret it.
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.
Resentment can run deep. Human emotions are complex and in this game of survival of the 'richest' and 'powerful', it is these abstract and intangible emotions that often suffer. You can choose to go with the flow or swim against the tides. Either way, there will be consequences. The new Korean show, The Good Bad Mother, is about these emotional sufferings and a chance to pause, reset and reconnect.
The initial episodes of The Good Bad Mother establish the backstory of our protagonist. Although focused primarily on the relationship between Young-soon and Kang-ho, The Good Bad Mother's biggest strength is its writing supported by extraordinary performances by Lee Do Hyun and Ra Mi Ran. The duo share a great understanding onscreen. Lee Do Hyun is a chameleon. Just a month back, he left viewers bewitched in The Glory and now, as a cold-hearted prosecutor, he is flawless. Ra Mi Ran is a delight to watch. Her switch from turning a 'bad' mother to being vulnerable is heart achingly beautiful.
The secondary but an integral part of the drama, Kang-Ho as a lawyer seeking justice for his father's death is an exceptionally written piece as well. Although he justice was served in the ultimate episode of the drama, it could have been more enticing. But nonetheless, The Good Bad Mother perfectly balanced a parent-child relation and a son's attempt to bring justice for what he and his mother were deprived of.
My Rating : 8.5/10.
