MY TOP 1 KDRAMA FOREVER!!
this show holds a very very special place in my heart. evrything about this kdrama is so calming and comforting. though a lot of people find it very slowburning but its worth the watch!! i know a lot of people dropped the drama but they are clearly missing out. if your looking for something that's gonna comfort and heal u this is the one!! i have watched many many dramas but its still my top 1 kdrama. if you Don't find this healing idk what will. the storyline its just 🤌🤌. its shows about a mother who lost her husband when her son was very young. her husband was wrongfully murderd. she hires a lawyer but the lawyer was invloved in that crime and somone bribed him with money. she Didn't get any justice so she raises her son to be a very noble man. she raises him very stricly and forces him to always study without letting him having any fun. which shows us that she was a bad mom. later the son grows up and becomes an attorney but became distanced with his mother. the mother had no one by her side and became alone as her son ignored her and didnt like her. she womders where she went wrong. in the mean time the son dates a very rich girl. but that girl had other plans so she tried to kill him. due to the injury the son had lost his memory and started acting like a 5 year old Paralyzed.Was this review helpful to you?

Get ready to feel
Honestly, I don't even know how to start a review, because I'm still a little shaken by all the feelings this drama caused me. In many moments I hated the mother's character, I thought she was a really bad mother, I thought she was really being punished for being such a bad and cruel person to her son, which is still true, but only at the end of the drama, more specifically in the last episode I realized that she is a survivor, life was cruel to her, her only weapon of defense was to close herself off from the world and "attack", just showing how human she was throughout this time and especially at the end of the episodes when he opened up to the world.Kang-Ho, on the other hand, never managed to earn my hatred, at no point did he give me the feeling of being a bad person, even in the first episodes where there was a certain duplicity of interpretations in his actions, in fact, for me, he showed himself to be an extremely benevolent person, at no point did he appear to hold a grudge against his mother despite everything he experienced, demonstrating that despite having suffered a lot with her, he managed to feel her love in his fearful actions, given all the suffering in her life.
He and his partner, Mi-Joo, formed one of the most beautiful couples I've ever seen in a drama, with love that overflowed in their eyes, it's no wonder they made two such beautiful and charismatic twins, leaving us with an ending that shows that he could finally be happy with his family.
This drama left me with a mix of emotions throughout all the episodes and made me cry a lot in several of them, especially in the last one, it was definitely on my favorites list.

The “Good” Bad Mother or The Good “Bad” Mother. Life has its turns.
The word has been out for a little while, that The Good Bad Mother is a super hit. I will just add my voice in affirmation. This drama is a must see, especially for parents trying hard to master this parenting thing, and having to listen to their children tell them that they are not getting it right. You become “the bad mother” in their eyes of misunderstanding. Anyone with kids knows that children never see the real you, the real parent, while they are growing up. Children just misunderstand the protective you, the parent who tries hard to sanitize their world. And yes, at times as parents we can be overbearing and we don’t get it right. This drama gives you the prospective from both points of view and how both parent and child are forced to recognize each other, through a shared misfortune. The “Good” Bad Mother is appropriately titled.The Story
The Good Bad Mother is about the struggles of a mother to raise her child on a family run pig farm, after the murder of her husband. It is a story of a mother’s revenge on the perpetrators of the death of her husband, as she recognizes that power brings results. Therefore, she strictly raises her child to be powerful, so that he can be the one who gets justice. She becomes The Good “Bad” Mother.
Nonetheless, her son faces adversity, because of a car wreck which leaves him with the intelligence of a seven year old child. She is left to start all over again raising her son. Through this adversity, both parent and child come to recognize the full intentions of the other. The story is well intended, but at times the story becomes predictable, even following illogical paths. That is a writer’s issue. However, this will in no way take away from two of the most outstanding acting performances of the year for 2023 for the mother and son.
Note: In the drama series Extraordinary Attorney Woo, we got Whale Moments. Be on the lookout for our cute Pig Moments in this drama series.
Quote: “Pigs use to roam free, keeping clean bathing in mud. People started to lock up in tiny pigsties. The pig could not bathe in mud anymore, so they began to rub their bodies in their own excrement. That is how they grew dirtier and more aggressive. However, what is really sad is that pigs cannot lift their heads, so they live their entire life staring at the ground. There is only one way for a pig to look up at the sky and that is to fall down”. The “Good” Bad Mother.
Acting Corner
The Mother—Ra Mi Ran (Black Dog) is outstanding as the misunderstood mother, whose sole aim is to protect her child. It would be no surprise to me if she gets a nomination for a Baeksang Arts Award (Korean Oscar) for 2023 for Best Leading Actress in a Drama Series.
The Son—Lee Do Hyun (The Glory) is the son who balks at the tiresome drilling of his mother, as she tries to produce a powerful man. After the accident, this powerful intelligent man is reduced to the mind of a seven year old. This character has super range, from acting as a seven year old to assuming the power behind revenge. Lee Do Hyun gives another outstanding performance. Again, it would not surprise me if Lee Do Hyun gets a nomination for a Baeksang Arts Award (Korean Oscar) for 2023 for Best Leading Actor in a Drama Series.
The Love Interest—Ahn Eun Jin has become an A-List Actress. I picked her up in her early years in the drama series ‘More Than Friends’, recognizing this acting potential. Ahn Eun Jin has two super hits in 2023 in The Good Bad Mother and My Dearest. Her star is being planted in the sidewalk.
The Good Friend and Second Lead— Ahn Eun Jin (Alchemy of Souls, The Uncanny Encounter Season 2) is the scene stealer, with his big personality. Ahn Eun Jin is a rising star.
Be prepared to have a solidly fixed smile on your face, because of the two outstanding child actors, Park Da On and Ki So Yu. The whole acting posse is stellar

Emotional Damage!!!!
So we should get better Mother's Day gifts for our mothers. That's why I learned. I like the shows that have more action and less emotions, but this show was really good. I only watched it because the actor on it was on The Glory of which I also thought was amazing.Whoever wrote the show, however, was lifting a concept for a show based on another movie with Harrison Ford called "Regarding Henry". Still they expanded on it so well that it really became its own show.
The show was a little slow, at times, but worth watching.

Motherhood is complicated
Finished. I see a lot of mom haters, but I loved the mom. Motherhood doesn't come with an instructional manual. It's hard in the best of times and she went through 2 major traumatic events so I understood her anxiety. Every parent becomes overly anxious about anything. Sending them to school, letting someone else drive them around, hanging out with friends, etc. Because anything can happen and unfortunately everyday something terrible does happen to children.She definitely needed therapy, but let's be real. She was a poor single mom living in a village and poured everything into her son in hopes he could escape poverty and being worthless in the eyes of those in power. Probably no money for expensive therapy. Her growth from episode 1 to 14 was enjoyable to watch. As a mother, I related to her fears of losing him and drive to want to see her child do better. I understood her frustrations. As adults, we have the experience of what the world can do. We want to protect and prepare and push our children so they don't struggle. Often times, it comes out all wrong and we do damage, but like she said, it's our first time being a mom and no one on this planet does it perfectly.
That being said, I am not saying her abuse of him was valid. I GET why she was pushing him to move his hands and legs. She needed him to be able to live without her. She definitely went about it in all the wrong ways. The river/creek parts were hard to watch because who does that? And not only was he temporarily physically disabled, he reverted back to him being 7 years old. So she thought throwing her 7 year old minded disabled child into the river would motivate him to swim to shore. We then see her studying water therapy and it starts to work, but the intro to it was awful.
I loved all of the characters. Every single one of them. The twins were so adorable, the mask lady who was savage every time she was on screen, and the friendship of the mothers who also brought it more motherhood struggles. The mother of the kid who didn't do well in school and got into criminal trouble. It's hard to watch other children thriving (in your eyes) and then your kid is just lazy. That mother didn't see that Kang Ho was jealous of the freedom of other kids that got to play sports and goof off.
All in all, I enjoyed this so much. I didn't think I would, but this is truly a hidden gem.

ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS OUT THERE
This show was something that was just too good for all the people watching it. From the story, to the excellent acting, this show was just so perfect. This is not a show that is focused on romance. People actually need to come out of the romance tropes. Not everything needs to revolve around romance. This show had romance in the perfect amount, enough to add to the story without taking over.The actors were so perfectly casted and they improved on the already really good script. Especially the mother. OH MY GOD. She is so natural at what she does. At times, you could see her and you could feel the character's pain so much through her. And all the people really were too good. I was bawling my eyes out so many times in every episode. I cried, I laughed and I got angry too. Life is unfair to so many people and sometimes you cannot help but feel anger at the unjustness of life.
I cannot even describe properly what this show was. I was so speechless when the show ended. I loved it to another level. I don't even watch that many shows but I saw a video about this show somewhere and I knew I had to watch it. PLEASE GIVE IT A WATCH. I don't care how freaking sad this show was at times, but everyone needs to see the amazing acting of the entire cast and the extra freaking amazing storyline.
I have read some reviews about how this show had such less romance, but the show wasn't about romance at all? I don't know who told them that this was a show with romance as the main plot because it really is not. This is a show about a mother's struggle and her relationship with her son. This show is about how despite struggling herself, she wanted the best for her son. She made mistakes because it was her first time being a mother, no matter how crazy that sounds. At the end of the day, she wanted the best for her son. This show is about how a son loves his mother so selflessly that he forgot to care about himself at times. This show is about how a son understood his mother and where she was coming from when she was not being very nice to him. Tbh, she was struggling herself and she was doing her best.
Even if you don't like the starting episodes for some reason, just have patience and keep watching. You will love this show. Every single episode, you will love it.
I will fight for this show forever😭🤌🏻
People, if you only want romance in your shows, skip this show because this show has so much more than romance. There are plenty of shows to quench your thirst of romance shows lol

Good drama with mothers love
It was really a good drama acting, mother sentiment and children’s cute acting everything was wholesome especially villagers were like a family I enjoyed till last episode it’s just that feel bit sad about ending do they really have to do that? It was totally like a Indian movie drama where hero doesn’t remember his past and children’s without father and mother sentiment for so nothing special I always find these kind of stories but still it was good in Korean too but I expected even more where cool stuff like badass female lead character and male lead could have been done more when he regained his memories like cool stuff you know like in Vencenzo drama we need such scripts but still actors nailed their part I watched it because of main leads and children well still didn’t disappointed me over all happy with the drama I hope next drama for male lead should get more extend version of cool guy and mother acting was next level no words for that beauty I felt crying at last episode due to mother sentiment well thumbs up for the team all the bestWas this review helpful to you?
Happy, sad, emotional are all in this drama
I don't know what else to say but this K-drama is awesome, in terms of story, actors, ost, everything is perfect.The story a man losing his memory/returning like a 7 year old child until he regains his memory, going through really tough times.
and stories of romance, family, affection, all presented very well, especially the story between mother and child which really brings tears to my eyes. You have to watch this and guaranteed you won't regret it😍🥹

masterpiece.
If I had to choose one scene that would make me feel deeply regretful towards my mother, it would definitely be this one.Kang-ho's distance from his mother, the fact that he stays away from her to protect her, and his decision to become a prosecutor just to make her happy throughout his life, all of these things resonate deeply and touch the heart.
When his mother seeks refuge in her son, who suddenly becomes a little child again, and when she wants to make him strong again, it evokes feelings so deep that words can't even describe...
I hope one day I can break free from the distance between my mother and me, just like Kang-ho did. The day will come when I can hug her, right?

Such a great drama!
This drama is really a masterpiece, especially because of Lee Do Hyun’s brilliant and convincing acting. I loved every single episode. There are a lot of flashbacks in this drama, but they really help to understand the characters’ choices and behavior.The story is pretty interesting and it mainly focuses on the mother and her son and their relationship. The side characters are also quite funny and often function as a kind of comic relief in tense situations. I have to point out the two twins here, they’re really adorable.
Once again, Lee Do Hyun. I was completely captivated by the portrayal of Kangho. I’ve watched quite a lot of dramas, but his acting stands out.
The sad thing is that I will never experience the excitement of watching this drama for the first time again. But there will be many rewatch sessions :)
I absolutely recommend this drama!
