Mijoo had a hard childhood too, she wasn't as spoiled as Sam Shik, but either way, she has nothing to be proud of, she is a young single mother with two children born out of wedlock who lost all her money to her "friend", got buried in debt, and ended up returning to her mother who already was raising her grandchildren to ask for financial support. I don't think anyone implied that if you don't have a strict mother you turn out to be a bad person, Kang Ho didn't turn out to be a bad person either, and neither is Sam Shik, but you can't deny that being strict helped Kang Ho become a successful person, that doesn't apply to either Sam Shik or Mijoo.

Living without a family/mother is too high of a price to pay for a mere fake prize and a doodle. I think you would be losing much more by cutting off your family just because they don't support your "useless" hobbies, she is his only family after all, and I know there are a lot of people who make a living by painting, but you must have a huge net (of support) to fall back on when you fail pursuing that hobby as a career, which he clearly didn't have, otherwise you are most likely to end up a poor person with a hard life. Someone had to knock some sense into him.

I don't think she was that bad even without "the nuggets of evidence of good intentions". I don't know why you are all exaggerating how bad she was as a mother. She was merely a typical strict mother who obviously wanted what was good for her son. Even without evidence, she made it clear that she wanted him to succeed in life to live better. He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so not studying would've been really bad for him.

Yeah, but it's not supposed to be realistic. A plan in a fictional piece is as good as its result. I wouldn't do it in real life, but I get where she was coming from in the drama, it would've been cruel only if it didn't work, but since it did, the character wasn't wrong, they are fictional people after all.

It worked, didn't it?

Is that an excuse? XD
You lose control over yourself when it's too hot?
That was the silliest excuse for cheating I've ever heard. If it was too cold I would've been more understanding, but since when people fight heat by having sex?
Whether they were young or not, being cheated on isn't an easy thing to deal with, and I'm sure Dr. Cha will find out how it feels soon. Being angry at someone for stealing the love of your life doesn't make you a bad person, it's only natural, especially since he makes it seems like he was hers from the start by continuing his relationship with her even after he got married. From her point of view, he never was "not hers", and Dr. Cha was always the villain who separated them.

Dr. Cha stole her boyfriend from her, that alone makes praying for her death justified, at least in my opinion.

I can't recall an incident where gaslighting was involved, but either way, If you have signs of cancer, it doesn't mean you have cancer. These are all things that happen at the end of a relationship, when one of the parties lose interest in the other, they neglect them, it can also happen when one is extremely busy or ill or think that the other person is a drama queen. Lying is something most people do, especially cheaters, even nice people lie to their partners about the way they look and how it's great or whatever. The fact that he is lying about having an affair is actually a humane thing, doing it publicly and letting her "just deal with it" is what an abusive person would do. "Belittling" in the form of facts isn't abuse, which is what was happening in this drama, he didn't mock her, he just told her that he thinks she can't do it, and the odds were in fact against her, so he genuinely thought she can't. That wasn't belittling, that is just him being unsupportive or negative. I'm not saying he is a good guy, he is a selfish cheater and a bad husband/father but he is not abusive. You can't call every bad relationship an abusive one, just because there were some signs that matches an abusive relationship, just like you can't say you have cancer just because you have some signs of it.

People die too in this drama. LOL

I agree with you, I felt sorry for the mistress when they revealed that she was the first woman he cheated on, and I felt bad for her later on because she didn't seem to know how to move on. I thought it was heartbreaking how pathetic she made herself chasing a man who cheated on her and married someone else.
I also agree about the abuse part, some people can't tell the difference between an abusive relationship and a bad relationship. Her husband is a piece of sh*t and their relationship was very bad but he didn't abuse her, not physically or emotionally, she thought it was her job to do everything for everyone and turned herself into a pushover. I find her very relatable and I feel bad for her, but she has more to blame for what happened to her than nothing.

This is only a theory but I think it's to make it more appealing and unique. "Bad Mother" is too generic for English speaking viewers. However, The Good Bad Mother makes you wonder how is she good and bad at the same time, so you end up watching it to find out. Koreans don't need an intriguing title to watch a drama. They have all the info they need about a drama before it airs, cast, crew, plot, broadcasting channel..etc. That is why they often choose very simple, generic, and easy to remember titles for the drama but end up changing their English title.

You realize they raise them for their meat, don't you? or else what is the point of having them in the first place? Pigs are useless while alive (and to many even when they are dead), unlike cows, sheep and every other farm animal. How do you think they are making a living? They are definitely not their pets.

I know she was improving as an actress, but the award isn't for "who improved the most". A nomination on its own is rewarding enough. Maybe she will get it next time when she outdo her peers.

I don't have an opinion on who deserves the award, I just assume that everyone who got their awards deserves them. It's an awful thing to work hard and get an award just to hear people say you "stole" it.

What an aggressive way of sharing your opinion. If you want my honest aggressive opinion, Suzy has never been a good actress, let alone "best actress". Everyone who got an award deserved it. Suzy can't be entitled to every award in the world just because you like her, especially since she is barely an actress.

Finally! Kim Nam Joo is coming back with a drama!!

I was waiting for her to come back!! I missed her so much. I would watch anything with her in it!

This is a good one:

Don't watch the drama then. Seriously, I don't follow any of them but man you have some outdated views. She is almost 30, and you treat her like a child who doesn't have a mind of her own. It's not even like he is some ugly old geezer, he looks the same age as she does or even younger. If I didn't look up his age, I wouldn't have thought he is a year above 35, and even that is pushing it.

He is bad, but not "that" bad. It means he is not as bad as you said, because you said "he doesn't deserve to be called a human". Humans cheat and lie, he still didn't lose his humanity. To be fair, she married him knowing he was a cheater, and she was in fact part of it. He is old fashioned, that is why he listens to his mother even when she is being irrational but he still cares about the mother of his children which is humane, and let's not forget that the only reason he married her in the first place was because he was old-fashioned and thought he had to take the responsibility for her. Being old-fashioned can be a good thing or a bad thing. I learned as I got older that I cannot blame people for taking advantage of me when I let them, it's just how people function. Instead, we should say no whenever we don't like something, this makes people who love/care about us aware of what we don't like and they won't expect it from us, saying yes to everything then blaming them for thinking it's okay to accept our yes is unfair. No one can read our mind. Little by little, her family will stop being dependent on her to do everything for them.
