Green Mothers' Club goes in my hall of fame. It brings to mind Big Little Lies and Avengers Social Club due to the mysterious death and the friendship of mothers. The realistic portrayal of the art scene and academia also reminds me of Reflection of You. Everyone seems to agree it starts off strong, with the female lead's Salieri complex and the cruelty of mothers and children towards her underdog son and her declaration of war against them. It has a message about the elitism and greed of parents and its toll on children and about what really matters in life above prestige and societal standing. I also find its message about the dark sides of genius and the internal struggles and suffering it brings interesting.
I was highly impressed with the writing and directing, though some people weren't happy with the writing towards the end. Everyone, however, will agree that the acting is top notch (minus the female lead). It was my first time seeing Joon Min Kyung and Choi Jae Rim, but they blew me away and Choo Ja Hyun, Yoon Kyung Ho, Jang Hye Jin, etc hit it out of the ball park as always.
Surprising that everyone suddenly loves the drama now.For me it was worse than Reflection of You, another drama…
I love that you brought up Reflection of You, bc that's another drama I was obsessed with, along with Green Mothers' Club. They both go in my hall of fame. It's like everything you hated about ROY and GMC I loved haha.
I thought this felt American for some reason and it turns out it's a remake of a BBC show. Kim Hyun Joo and Ji Jin Hee had epic chemistry in I Have a Lover, and when actors have epic chemistry, they get reunited!
What episode does Eugene Han first appear in haha Seriously, someone save me. I can't stop watching youtube clips of him, but I don't want to spoil the drama for myself.
tvN made an OCN type drama starring my queen Uhm Ji Won and Sung Dong Il cast as a villain! They are the reason I started watching this drama. It also has a whole host of amazing veterans like Jo Min Soo, and a newcomer who played the rich daughter in Parasite. The opening scene was genuinely chilling in a way I haven't seen since Hand: The Guest.
