The Story
An ambitious young man leaves his grassroots behind to pursue a career as a prosecutor in Seoul with the hopes of investigating the death of his father before he was even born. But when he crosses a powerful enemy, he suffers a terrible accident that leaves him unable to care for himself and with no memory of his life beyond childhood. Although their relationship has been distant in the past, his mother brings him home to the small, country town where he was raised so she can care for him. And as they spend time together, the pair gain new understanding of each other and the struggles they have each faced and dealt with in their own ways. And that won’t be his only opportunity for second chances, as he becomes reunited with the people in town who helped raise him and the friends he left behind.
Should I Watch
“The Good Bad Mother” is a small town family drama. It focuses on the heartbreaking relationship between a single mother and her adult son, as they are given a chance to relive pieces of his childhood and clear up important misunderstandings following his near-fatal car accident. The drama is character driven and emotionally complex. These characters are honestly portrayed and definitely flawed, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself disliking them, especially in the beginning. Maybe I had raised my expectations too high. I did find the story a bit hard to get into at first. But I settled in after the first couple of episodes, so I would encourage you to not give up too soon. The cast is amazing and the revenge element of the story is a fun twist. First love, family, friendship, cute kids, betrayal, and legal suspense; this drama has something for everyone. I give “The Good Bad Mother” a 9 out of 10 ramen.
