The Story
A single mom gives birth to a daughter while she is still in high school, and has spent her whole life growing up alongside her. But now that her daughter is an adult with a life of her own, their relationship is entering into a new phase. Since the pair are still living together, there are plenty of new areas to chart. And things become even more complicated when a man from her past comes back into her life hoping for a second chance. Meanwhile, her daughter's new job working for the local police department puts them in the middle of a dangerous investigation involving a murder.
Should I Watch
"Not Others" is a life drama with a sprinkle of crime drama, romance, and comedy thrown in. But at it's heart, this is a drama about the ever-changing relationship between mothers and daughters. I admit that, even for a fan of life dramas, this one started slow for me. It took me quite a while to warm up to the story and characters. But the chemistry between the female leads was fun to watch and I enjoyed the mom's romance story. There were definitely plots I would have liked to see developed more, but as a slice of life story, it had plenty of unique charm. I give "Not Others" an 8 out of 10 ramen.
