Haha ni Naru

Haha ni Naru is about a mother who's her child was kidnaped. Mother is about a teacher who kidnaped her student and acted as her new mother.

Both are my favorite family doramas. The story and message are different but the feelings I got in both were the same.

Japan is really great in making this type of story. No time will be wasted with watching them.

They have similar stories: Two little kids are kidnapped, and then raised by two unrelated women. Both women do a great job, so the kids love and see them as their mothers. Now, what are these unwanted mothers? And what to do with all the love they gave and received from the kids?

Both series revolve around family, with children playing a central role in the story. They explore psychological questions, as well as how to become a family even without blood ties. Love, however, doesn't feature prominently in the narrative.
