Currently ongoing (8 eps), but this drama healed not just my inner child traumas but also made me change myself for the better now that I'm much older.
I have a father with disability, back then I couldn't even look at him or touch him, not because of his disability but because I couldn't afford myself to forgive him nor have mercy for him for all the things he did and did not do to us (his family) when he was still in his right mind and how he had always insulted my mother who now is taking care of him unconditionally. I despised him and could not forced myself to help/take care of him. Aside from God whom I truly encountered just last year and has been helping me to change my ways of living, this series has taught me great patience, great understanding, and the real importance of forgiving and being forgiven. Now, I try my best to help my father, feed him and even kissing him on his forehead whenever I have a chance. This series opened my eyes and mind of how cruel I really was to him (my father). Kang-ho's mother reminds me of my mother and makes me appreciate her more than I already do.
This series lit a tiny spark in my heart, try to understand it deeply. It's enjoyable because it's full of comedic scenes yet tackles serious situations/events that often happen in real life more than we all know and think of. It's truly a rollercoaster ride, it's light but has depth into it. Full of laughter, crying, healing, mystery, shock, confusion, anger, fear, regrets, pitty, thrill and then understanding that everything happens for a reason. And that we can all find strength, inspiration and something beautiful even in the lowest and darkest moments of our lives. The pig analogy inspired me and motivated me too more than I thought. It's a feel-good drama for me, yes I cried and still cries alot every episode release but it's a good type of cry, it's really re-strengthening atleast for me. Each characters are very fun and interesting too, especially all the supporting ones! Aside from the main characters my ult fav are the two men pretending to be farmers, I just feel like they will do something significant to help the main character, Kang Ho, in future episodes.
Ready your tissues and popcorns 🍿 or whatever snacks you enjoy (or just enjoy watching it as it is like me without anything prepared). Just like a rollercoaster ride we will all have different experience watching a certain series like this one, it can be good or bad for anyone but one's things for sure, it'll be thrilling for everyone! So yes, I recommend watching this series: The Good Bad Mother (나쁜 엄마) and find out what emotions and experience you'll get!
Ps: Giving the biggest credits to the actors too, they delivered each scenes amazingly and made us feel their characters' emotions too. Because no matter how good the script if the actors can't deliver the dialogues and lines perfectly, it can be a waste of scene, writer's and film staffs efforts.
Forgive me for my bad grammar, I'm still learning amd improving. 💚 And sorry for a very long review, I just love films and analyzing them so much.
