Hi Mom (2024)

FINALLY: a real heroine

I caught this on an Instagram reel and was intrigued. Yes, the male lead was the primary reason, but he was the clickbait. The format ‘short drama’ is awesome. Not a lot of the long, boring pauses. With sappy music or cliff hanger melodrama. It’s short and sweet. Yay!!
What the real joy for me is the female lead. She’s written strong, sassy, smart, and then beautiful. She’s not a shrinking violet letting all the villains take advantage and insulting her, whimpering and cowering. She gives better than she gets. She’s more real and practical. Not perfect either. But still a way better example of a young woman facing some obstacles head on.
I was getting so tired of the Cinderella punching bag. This trope isn’t just Asian, western soaps and movies have them too. A reason I turned to K/C/J-dramas.
Anyway, I enjoyed the story, the slightly over the top villains, well, really over the top villains, the central family of characters, and the ingenious quips and putdowns, and revenge the hero and heroine get just being happy and healthy together.

Warm feeling for family drama.

It was one of my first vertical short drama i ever watched. The plot is about FL found out she is not real child of her family and green tea was actually their real daughter. FL previous family wants to abandoned her and send her to green tea arranged marriage since her family was being poor. FL didn't want green tea to stole all of her things decided to bring all her stuff and leave her room empty. FL accepts marriage purpose and found out ML was widow with two children. She wants to win ML children heart.

The romance between main lead almost zero but since it was family focused drama i quite don't mind too much. The children acting are quite natural especially the mute daughter, i almost cried when she tried to called FL mother.

The ending is too rushed.
