The Truth is in the Title

The Title tells you what you need to know. The Mother here is both Good and Bad in many ways and at different times. Her Husband was brutally murdered while she was still pregnant with her first and only son. In her mind, she has one and only one really important job. She must raise a son who is extremely well educated and can go on to aspire to an important and powerful job, in spite of living in the countryside on a pig farm. As he grows into his teen years, she allows him almost no free time or fun time, because he must study. She does not let him spend time drawing, even if it his favorite pastime, because it will not lead to a position of power in which he can deal with the people and their ilk who killed her Husband and his Father, who he has never met. She doesn't allow him to go on a field trip, and when he fills out the form, giving the reason why he can't go, he writes down "Bad Mom". He goes on to become a Prosecutor with a rather cold demeanor. His is involved in a traffic accident, has a head injury, loses his memories and reverts back to the mentality of a 7 year old. She is his sole caretaker and has moved to a new village where she has a pig farm. Initially, the villagers decide they don't like her because the farm is "smelly" though in truth, it is pretty pristine. She is determined to bring her son back to "normal". He does physical therapy to help him escape his wheelchair, for instance. But when she finds that she has a death sentence disease, she becomes even more powerfully determined that her son's condition will improve so that he can care for himself when she is gone. She does some horrible and shocking things to him to prove he can leave the chair behind. She is not abusive because she doesn't love him, but because she loves him too much, and is terrified what will happen to him when she is gone. He has a friend who was born in the same place on the same day that he was, and they fall in love, but she leaves the area, saying she is going to the US. She leaves twins in her mother's care. He befriends the twins, and in his 7-year-old state, loves to play with them. More happens - but I will let you find that out for yourself. This is not really an unhappy story and is filled with love and goodness. He manages to recover quite a bit from his injuries, and he really loves his mother. On her Bad days, when she was desperate to make him self-sufficient, she was "Bad". On good days, when she cared for him in her Loving way, she was Good. She was both.
The bottom line is that I loved this show, even though it brought me to tears more than once. Lee Do Hyun was exceptional as the son, and Ra Mi Ran played the loving Mother with the desperate and abusive actions with love, strength and determination. The twins were outstanding! I don't know where in the world the Koreans find children with this kind of ability. His girlfriend , who reappears, was perfect and all of the rest of the cast were outstanding as well. Even the pigs did a good job, with one of them having a little bigger role. I recommend this show with no reservations at all. It is outstanding and a "must watch" in my opinion.

By ep4 there are many things I don’t like
The past, either the romance or the revenge and everything related to the 2 villains, skiiippp

The villagers are dumb, and now I’m realizing annoying mask girl is an older woman? And his wife? Or are there 2? Still I hate useless plot moves like that, like who the heck would wear a mask 24/7, it literally dries in 10mins🤡
So basically this is one big drag on something that should’ve been a movie
If those are his kids that’s even worse
The mom is just evil yelling at someone who doesn’t remember it worse is mentally 6

WORTH THE WATCH

I saw some reviews stating though they could relate to the characters and their situations, they still wouldn't condone the most hers actions. I'd like to say welcome to the real world, non woke one. Which you might not know anything about because of the snowflake environment you have been bought up in. I don't think it's the wrong environment, but just a different one. Almost every Asian household is like this. Parents are ambitious therefore the children are too. She understood the assignment she was given in life and made her best effort to make it a reality. For God sake the left over food from his plate was her food for that time. You're thinking she still made him eat less, she could have told him that they are short of food. I'm thinking she didn't want her child to know the bad situation they are in. She didn't want him to blame anyone (like his father or fate) for being in such shitty conditions. She wanted him to just concentrate on his goal and leave everything else to her. That is just Pure Love. Though she did it a different way doesn't make it wrong. Just makes it different. LOVE THE SERIES. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO WATCH.

Rollercoster of emotions

The drama had the potential to be the drama of the year but somewhere the story failed to maintain the momentum towards the end.
It's a great slice of life drama about the relationship of a mother and her son and it's more than beautifully depicted. The story has amazing acting and is definitely one of Ra Mi Ran's personal best.
But.... There are some dramas that start off with an explosive story, amazing pictography and beautiful and poetic narratives that somehow take you up in the sky but with two episodes remaining, you know all that momentum needs atleast 4 or 5 episodes more. That was the anxiety that i went through which is why i was dissappointed.
I don't regret watching this because it gave me a lot of positivity and courage but at the same time, it left me wanting more.

Will i watch it again? No.
Will i recommend it to anyone? Hell yeah. It's a good watch and the chemistry between Lee Do Hyun and Ra Mi Ran is quite heart-warming.

The good bad mother

A mother will always be a mother no matter how bad her kids do or done ..but a man who wrongs a good woman that stands by him through good and bad and then he abandoning her to her luck after he doing all good he is a d******** and karma is a bitch.
I said what I said. 🤷‍♀️

Drame familial, comédie et thriller...

The Good Bad Mother est sincère dans son traitement et fort dans son émotion sous couvert de sa comédie et son sérieux parfois déroutant.

Le cochon prend une grande place dans l'intrigue sur le plan social. On le retrouve sous la forme d'une métaphore, mais aussi d'une énième façon de nous rappeler que nous, êtres humains, avons beaucoup a apprendre des animaux même ceux qui semblent en apparence être les plus sales.

Ra Mi Ran et Lee Do Hyun offrent une performance mémorable et entière dans leurs rôles respectifs.
Ra Mi Ran représente la mère sévère qui passe facilement pour la méchante et mauvaise mère. Lee Do Hyun est un acteur doué qui ne cesse de surprendre. Il prend son rôle avec aisance, du procureur froid à l'adulte retrouvant une âme d'enfant.
L'ensemble du casting est excellent. Si vous êtes habitués aux dramas de ce genre (campagne et petit village), leurs mentalités et comportements ne vous surprendront pas, cela dit ils sont tous très bons. Kim Won Hae est un habitué des rôles secondaires, mais peu importe qui il incarne, il me fait toujours rire au possible.

L'intrigue est intéressante à suivre, car elle n'est pas "trop", mais "assez". Contrairement à d'autres productions qui vont abuser des surprises ou retournements de situations, The Good Bad Mother reste honnête jusqu'au bout et lui donne ce subtile goût de satisfaction.
La romance est mignonne et n'a pas besoin de prendre trop de morceaux dans l'intrigue, elle se suffit - de plus les connecteurs sont bien amenés. On se concentre franchement sur la relation mère/fils. De sa création à son évolution jusqu'à ses prises de conscience et changements.

En bref, c'est un bon drama qui possède une jolie dynamique, de belles scènes et une relation familiale forte avec un casting brillant.

Il m’a fallu une vie pour commencer… et deux épisodes pour m’attacher...

J’ai longtemps repoussé "The Good Bad Mother". Le titre me donnait l’impression d’un mélodrame un peu lourd et j’avais zéro envie de me lancer là-dedans... mais sa note super élevée m’a titillée… alors j’ai fini par céder. Et franchement... Je suis tellement contente d’avoir appuyé sur play 🫶🏻.

Le drama raconte l’histoire de Young Soon, une mère éleveuse de porcs au caractère dur, inflexible, qui a élevé son fils Kang Ho comme un petit soldat pour qu’il ait la vie qu’elle n’a jamais eue. Il finit par devenir procureur, s’éloigne d’elle… jusqu’au jour où un accident bouleverse tout et les force à réapprendre à être mère et fils. C’est un drama qui parle de famille, de pardon, de reconstruction, avec une douceur que je n’avais pas du tout anticipée ✨.

Ce qui m’a vraiment retournée, ce sont les personnages. Young Soon m'a parut d’abord dure comme la pierre, presque brutale, mais plus tu avances, plus tu comprends que tout vient d’une peur viscérale, d’une vie trop lourde qui l’a tordue sans jamais la casser 😭. Au milieu de tout ça, Kang Ho… oh là là. Il a une douceur enfouie, des cicatrices d’enfance, il a eu cette façon de me toucher le cœur sans en faire trop… j’ai passé mon temps entre sourire et gorge nouée avec lui 🥹.

Heureusement il y a des personnages comme Mi Joo, qui vient poser un peu de lumière dans tout ça. Elle a cette douceur tranquille, ce calme qui rééquilibre tout. Sam Sik aussi, le meilleur ami un peu paumé mais tellement loyal, celui qui m'a fait rire et soupirer dans la même scène 😅. Et toute la communauté du village aussi… bruyante, imparfaite, mais incroyablement attachante. Chaque scène avec eux faisait du bien. tout comme les jumeaux… quelle lumière 🌞. Ce n'est pas juste du "cute" gratuit, ils existent vraiment dans l’histoire, et ils apportent chaleur et spontanéité, j'ai trouvé que ça rendais le tout tellement vivant.

Concernant la romance entre Kang Ho et Mi Joo, ce n’est pas au centre du drama, mais quelle douceur... C’est la petite respiration au milieu du tumulte que l'on suit en filigrane tout au long des episodes. C'est une tendresse qui ne vole la vedette à personne mais qui fait du bien 🪄🫰🏻. Et puis il y a aussi toute l’intrigue avec les magouilles, les vieilles rancœurs, les tentatives d’assassinat… ça ajoute cette petit tension continue sans jamais casser pour autant la vibe émotion. J'ai trouve que c’était un petit pimenté 🌶️ parfaitement dosé.

Et alors… la revanche de Kang Ho... J’ai adoré !!! Ce n’est pas une revanche brute, ce n’est pas de la haine explosive... c’est une justice posée, maîtrisée, implacable. Le procès, la manière dont tout se remet enfin à sa place… j'ai trouvé ça puissamment apaisant 😮‍💨🔥. La mort de son père, la vie qu’on leur a volée, à eux comme aux autres victimes… tout ce chemin-là trouve enfin un sens. C’est propre, c’est juste, ça clôture la boucle comme il faut 👌🏻.

Ensuite, même si la mort de Young Soon n’était pas une surprise, la façon dont le drama la traite… quelle classe. Pas de chantage émotionnel, pas de violons forcés, juste de la douceur, de l’humanité, et une vraie lumière 🥺✨. J'ai trouvé le final apaisant, tendre, comme si tout ce qu’on avait traversé avec eux trouvait enfin un endroit pour respirer.

Franchement, aucun regret. J’ai mis mille ans avant de me lancer, mais j’ai adoré du début à la fin, et je comprend pourquoi sa note est si élevée ❤️✌🏻

Conseguiu se tornar meu dorama preferido

Simplesmente incrível. Essa série conseguiu me prender do início ao fim, passada a semana toda aguardando os episódios serem liberados na netflix pra poder entender um pouco mais da história, sofrer e me apaixonar um pouco mais junto com os personagens. Pode ser categorizada como rom-com, mas essa seria vai muito além disso, ela trata sobre relacionamento familiar, como as pessoas que nos cercam também se tornam nossa família. Achei incrível como a visão que temos do relacionamento entre o Kang Ho e a mãe dele muda conforme entendemos de verdade o que aconteceu. Confesso que derramei alguma ~ muitas ~ lágrimas nos últimos episódios. Gostaria de apagar tudo da memória, rever e reviver tudo do começo. Certamente se tornou meu dorama preferido.

O que eu achei

Eu amei... A historia me deixou completamente envolvida, eu comecei a assistir com relutância, mas no fim fiquei aos prantos. O foco é mais focado na mãe e no filho, no inicio eu detestei a mãe, mas conforme fui assistindo, eu fui entendo ela, ela tem varias atitudes questionáveis, mas eu consegui entender seus motivos e seu desespero... eu realmente me apaixonei pela história

စေတနာပို ဘေးဖြစ်

Sky Castle တို့လို ပုံစံဘဲ ဒါပေမယ့် တင်ပြပုံမတူဘူး
တကယ်ဆို အရင်တည်းက jtbc dramaတွေက အရမ်းလူကြိုက်များတဲ့ပုံစံမျိုး မရှိပေမယ့် ကြိုက်တဲ့သူဆို တအားကြိုက်တဲ့ဇာတ်လမ်းမျိုးရိုက်တာ ပိုများတယ်
ဥပမာ Snowdrop တို့ Reborn Rich တို့လိုဇာတ်မျိူးဆို တော်ရုံ Channel တွေက မထိရဲတဲ့ဇာတ်မျိုးကို ရိုက်ချပစ်တာမျိုး
Adminက နဂိုတည်းက jtbc ကိုလည်းကြိုက်တယ်ဒါပေမယ့်tvN ကျတော့ popping ဘက်သွားတဲ့ သရုပ်ဆောင်တွေနဲ့ ဇာတ်လမ်းကိုရွေးတာများတယ်
ဥပမာ Penthouse နာမည်ကြီးတော့ Lee Jiah တို့ Kim Soyeon တို့နဲ့ ဇာတ်လမ်းတွဲရိုက်တာမျိုးပေါ့
anyway, bad mom က ထင်ထားတာထက် ပိုကောင်းနေတာrating လည်း တဖြည်းဖြည်းနဲ့လိုက်လာပြီ
