This drama was amazing, I really enjoyed it from beginning to the end. Although the story can be predicted at time.Disclaimer: I’m mainly focusing on Kang Hong and his mother but there are also lot of other interesting characters, relationship, and events.

A mother can be a good, and a bad one.
From it’s beginning till the end, this drama never disappoints until the end! I love how this drama is all known to kdrama fans and I never regretted to watch this first other than the ongoing kdramas that has no similarities with the story of the good bad mother. Also, from the name itself I do agree that Kang Ho’s mother, Young Soo might not be that perfect mother the same as my own mother. A mother can be a good and at the same time a bad mother but in different ways and it’s aspects to consider. Including of how for me as a kdrama fan, it was a better way to start this drama and this might be one of my favorite comforting kdramas I’ve watched, including summer strike, TFTW, and others :’). I might take longer to take note with regards to this drama, because I would consider this as one of the greatest masterpieces and so far confirming as one of the best mother-son/daughter relationships. I’ll go with the plot/story and the cast/characters.STORY/PLOT
The story starts off with A single mother, Jin Young Soon who owns a pig farm in a small village who raised his only son, Choi Kang Ho. After her husband’s death due to fighting for justice with regards to their traumatic past from burning their old piggery farm from an well-known suspect during the 1980’s, her mother lose hope from her husband and disciplined his son Kang Ho while growing up and gaining his power as he graduated as a top student and one of the prosecutors in the court. As he turned a cold-hearted prosecutor, he and his mother discover slowly their past as Kang Ho dive deeper with his connections from his clients that are high positioned leaders in a company and challenged to politics and power. With an unexpected accident came from him, he returns from his hometown. On the other hand, Kang Ho’s childhood friend and schoolmate Mi Joo who was known from a soft hearted, kind a strong sense of justice, also reconnected with Kang Ho from his recent accident, unfolding the secret both has. Kang Ho goes back, slowly recovers until he slowly remembers everything he has been through, including his past relationships from his old village he grew up, with her mother taking care of him and together as both and their friendly neighbors fight and supported one another, making a strong relationship with each and one of them. My tears are worth it actually :’))
Phew, this was so long to type a note from the story to be explained further for the sake of my future self to rewatch this wonderfully made series!! I love the story, the flow of the story was well made, including the great character developments that the writer also added. I also liked the cliffhangs of the few episodes that made me think twice of watching the next series asap! No flaws to begin with, great chemistry from the cast and their friendship-relationships that connects their way of living each and every one of them with many purposes. A good 14-episode kdrama series, with no unnecessary flaws and plot holes, just loved the drama so much with less explanations!!
CAST/CHARACTERS
First and foremost, I really love their casting so much!! It’s that I have less things to say but to summarize their great acting skills, I do believe most of them has great potential to discover and enter different leading roles that can help their careers to be well recognized!! A big thanks to the casts, whether leading and supporting casts who did their best they can and leaving me with tears till the end :’) Not ending my note here, but I’ll thanked the most recognized actors and actresses who shined so much from their roles itself. Also, never forgetti the two gurads even if their mission was leading them to despair, they were on Kang Ho's side :'>
Starting off, Ra Mi ran as Jin Young Soon also known from the title itself, the Good Bad Mother. I love her so much from her role!! My very first kdrama encounter from this drama and her acting feels surreal!! She has potential as well to be part of the different type of roles in her future projects! Less thing to say to her since it’s my first time seeing her. But with her character, she’s kinda disappointing, but at the same time as a hardworking and a single mother, we cannot blame a mother’s love for her only son :’) Rooting for her future endeavors and her future kdrama projects she would be casted soon! Might dive in to her past kdramas!!
With Lee Do Hyun as Choi Kang Ho, the prosecutor. I really love how we was part from the casting. I cannot believe that he also did well with this drama and love the way he acts from his chosen project, which is this including his character. Well known from his big roles from The Glory 1 and 2, Youth of May and 18 again. My very first encounter was from the drama Clean with Passion for Now and Hotel del Luna (I cannot remember which one I saw him from his role but so far, these both are). He was proving himself with so much potential! From supporting roles from both kdramas until becoming his few well known leading roles, he can be anything!! Hoping I could see him more with villain roles. His character is sweet and loving, also Kang Ho never disappoints from the beginning. All In all, he was a promising actor and ever since youth of May, I already added him as one of my favorite actors. Rooting for him!!
Ahn Eun Jin as Lee Mi Joo the soft-hearted childhood friend turned lover of Kang Ho. Ever since my first encounter from a kdrama series The One and Only, from that role itself I already could see so much improvement and knowing that she was a good actress from portraying her character with her emotions. She was also one of my favorite actresses as well. Mi Joo was a loving character that she never disappoints from the beginning until the end of the story :’) But I also felt bad that she had a hard time recovering her deepest pain from Kang Ho :< Rooting for her especially how I wish she could enter different role this time :’)
Last but not the least, the funniest friend and enemy of Kang Ho, Bang Sam Sik portrayed by Yoo In Soo. Ever since my first kdrama from him from at eighteen, all of us are dead as the villain zombie and AOS 1 and 2 from his well-recognized characters from the last 2 kdramas I saw from him, he was really good as well. But I do hope I could see a role like from Lee Do Hyun itself but he was really improving!! His character also was a good but a mean one from Kang Ho until he was protecting and saving them from danger haha. To conclude his short comment from this drama, really love his roles that I have watched including this, and hoping he could show more of his emotions to his future roles. Rooting for him as well! (ESPECIALLY UNCANNY COUNTER 2 AS A LEADING ROLE! 😊 )
Overall, this was a good watch!! Very recommended to beginners who wanted a comforting kdrama to watch, really great for time kill and binge-watching! Also depending of my decision in the future, rewatching can be optional since there are a lot of things happened that surprised me as well. This is the end of the note, one of the greatest masterpiece that everyone should watch a good mother-son relationship!! <33
Rooting for the casts future drama projects to come! One, two, three… Piggy!!!

AMAZING :)!
I loved everything of this K-drama from the story to the acting of every character (actor) to the music and OMG the PLOT TWISTS, they just left me stunned and I was amazed how the story and the characters devolved even better than I would ever imagined. Everything made sense, every of my questions where answered and revealed not too late and not too soon it was just perfectly connected and placed throughout the series and just made me more and more excited to watch the next episode and what would come with it, what would happen next and so on. It made me ponder and reflect on myself since I personally think it fits my life and thoughts very much. I‘m so happy I got the chance to have watched this series since it comforted me quite much and amazed me in every way. There wasn’t a scene for me that I couldn’t have understand, it‘s just SATISFYING. I know some like the opportunity for an open ending as to think of ways how it could have ended but this series gives us clues of how it will continue and even without them each individual is so strongly portrayed that we wouldn’t have needed them but it verifies our thoughts on it of how it’s going to turn out and we can still think of other opportunities of it’s following events. It has an amazing build-up from start to end and I’m also glad it wasn’t too short (I think 14 Episodes is very nicely and compact for the duration of it’s story). It had everything in it for me personally and I would say that they didn’t leave out any important aspects and also didn’t add too many unnecessary information for us either. I also search up the K-Drama with its casts and crew members after I’m done watching. Just gets better by seeing bts (behind the scenes) and I was even more overjoyed of how talented actors I know from other series too (wich I recently found out), have participated in this K-drama. Even after watching it I still listen to the ost (original sound tracks) of this series since I always feel better by hearing it and vibe to it. There’s so much much much… more that I could have said but I think it’s enough already ^^ so yeah, if I could’ve given it more than 10 than it would’ve definitely be much more OVER 10 <3!! A big recommendation from me :)) and a big thanks of make it this far. Lots of love to the whole cast and crew members and the K-drama itself FROM ME OFC (of course) ;) and to readers too :>Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
이따 만나 !
I have very little to say. I think everyone said everything already. And it is not overrated.The last korean drama before this that was so impactful and as good as this one was Extraordinary Attorney Woo. And we are always grateful for great dramas.
Just a little note to say that to me, Ra Mi Ran’s performance is not praised enough and never will. People have no idea how hard it is to play her character. To me she was more a main character than Lee Do Hyun in a way (even if we are not here to compare) I think she deserves so much !
이따 만나 !

Best from My List so far: Perfect Blend of Sadness, Comedy, Revenge, and Romance – No Cringe!
I thoroughly enjoyed the show; it had me in tears. A perfect blend of comedy, sentiment, sadness, revenge, and romance that wasn't too cringy (I usually avoid romance series). The emotion from the mother-son relationship was great. I'm not an experienced reviewer, and I've seen some negative reviews. However, from my perspective, this series stood out as the best from my list. There may be better versions like this, but for me, it was the best among the series I've watched.I don't usually review; I rarely review the series that I didn't like and don't review the ones I like, just rate them. However, this series got my emotions triggered so much that it made me to write a review.
I'm searching for similar series, and I haven't had much luck finding ones that are similar to this. If anyone reading this has recommendations for similar series with a focus on parental love or related themes, please share your suggestions.
Don't spend time wondering whether to watch it or not-it's a definite yes. This series is exceptionally good, and it's one of the best I've seen in a long time.

MASTERPIECE!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE!!!
Everything was perfect in this kdrama! The story, the characters, the direction Everything had a perfect balance!!! I cried a lot but I laughed a lot too. The ending was perfect for all the characters!Now as for the actors they were all great but my favorites were:
Of course Lee dohyun who is also my favorite male actor and I have to say that after this kdrama he made me admire him even more
He was incredible! He played the "bad guy", the kid, his normal self, he was funny, he was strict, he made me cry and laugh and he was perfect in everything! He has incredible talent! I have no words!
Of course, Ra Miran also did an amazing job. Just wonderful, I don't have much to say. She played her role perfectly!!
Ahn Eun Jin and Yoo insoo were perfect for their roles. I don't think I can imagine anyone else playing the same characters.
The same goes for the villains who were very good in their roles.
Finally the ones I really liked and made me laugh a lot are the actors Choi Sunjin and Park Cheon.. I love them they were very good and I was very happy about their ending!
And of course I have to say that the actors who played Ahn Eun Jin's children were very good, well done!
That's all I had to say about this wonderful series and definitely recommended for everyone to watch!!! Congratulations to everybody!!!

Get ready to feel
Honestly, I don't even know how to start a review, because I'm still a little shaken by all the feelings this drama caused me. In many moments I hated the mother's character, I thought she was a really bad mother, I thought she was really being punished for being such a bad and cruel person to her son, which is still true, but only at the end of the drama, more specifically in the last episode I realized that she is a survivor, life was cruel to her, her only weapon of defense was to close herself off from the world and "attack", just showing how human she was throughout this time and especially at the end of the episodes when he opened up to the world.Kang-Ho, on the other hand, never managed to earn my hatred, at no point did he give me the feeling of being a bad person, even in the first episodes where there was a certain duplicity of interpretations in his actions, in fact, for me, he showed himself to be an extremely benevolent person, at no point did he appear to hold a grudge against his mother despite everything he experienced, demonstrating that despite having suffered a lot with her, he managed to feel her love in his fearful actions, given all the suffering in her life.
He and his partner, Mi-Joo, formed one of the most beautiful couples I've ever seen in a drama, with love that overflowed in their eyes, it's no wonder they made two such beautiful and charismatic twins, leaving us with an ending that shows that he could finally be happy with his family.
This drama left me with a mix of emotions throughout all the episodes and made me cry a lot in several of them, especially in the last one, it was definitely on my favorites list.

The “Good” Bad Mother or The Good “Bad” Mother. Life has its turns.
The word has been out for a little while, that The Good Bad Mother is a super hit. I will just add my voice in affirmation. This drama is a must see, especially for parents trying hard to master this parenting thing, and having to listen to their children tell them that they are not getting it right. You become “the bad mother” in their eyes of misunderstanding. Anyone with kids knows that children never see the real you, the real parent, while they are growing up. Children just misunderstand the protective you, the parent who tries hard to sanitize their world. And yes, at times as parents we can be overbearing and we don’t get it right. This drama gives you the prospective from both points of view and how both parent and child are forced to recognize each other, through a shared misfortune. The “Good” Bad Mother is appropriately titled.The Story
The Good Bad Mother is about the struggles of a mother to raise her child on a family run pig farm, after the murder of her husband. It is a story of a mother’s revenge on the perpetrators of the death of her husband, as she recognizes that power brings results. Therefore, she strictly raises her child to be powerful, so that he can be the one who gets justice. She becomes The Good “Bad” Mother.
Nonetheless, her son faces adversity, because of a car wreck which leaves him with the intelligence of a seven year old child. She is left to start all over again raising her son. Through this adversity, both parent and child come to recognize the full intentions of the other. The story is well intended, but at times the story becomes predictable, even following illogical paths. That is a writer’s issue. However, this will in no way take away from two of the most outstanding acting performances of the year for 2023 for the mother and son.
Note: In the drama series Extraordinary Attorney Woo, we got Whale Moments. Be on the lookout for our cute Pig Moments in this drama series.
Quote: “Pigs use to roam free, keeping clean bathing in mud. People started to lock up in tiny pigsties. The pig could not bathe in mud anymore, so they began to rub their bodies in their own excrement. That is how they grew dirtier and more aggressive. However, what is really sad is that pigs cannot lift their heads, so they live their entire life staring at the ground. There is only one way for a pig to look up at the sky and that is to fall down”. The “Good” Bad Mother.
Acting Corner
The Mother—Ra Mi Ran (Black Dog) is outstanding as the misunderstood mother, whose sole aim is to protect her child. It would be no surprise to me if she gets a nomination for a Baeksang Arts Award (Korean Oscar) for 2023 for Best Leading Actress in a Drama Series.
The Son—Lee Do Hyun (The Glory) is the son who balks at the tiresome drilling of his mother, as she tries to produce a powerful man. After the accident, this powerful intelligent man is reduced to the mind of a seven year old. This character has super range, from acting as a seven year old to assuming the power behind revenge. Lee Do Hyun gives another outstanding performance. Again, it would not surprise me if Lee Do Hyun gets a nomination for a Baeksang Arts Award (Korean Oscar) for 2023 for Best Leading Actor in a Drama Series.
The Love Interest—Ahn Eun Jin has become an A-List Actress. I picked her up in her early years in the drama series ‘More Than Friends’, recognizing this acting potential. Ahn Eun Jin has two super hits in 2023 in The Good Bad Mother and My Dearest. Her star is being planted in the sidewalk.
The Good Friend and Second Lead— Ahn Eun Jin (Alchemy of Souls, The Uncanny Encounter Season 2) is the scene stealer, with his big personality. Ahn Eun Jin is a rising star.
Be prepared to have a solidly fixed smile on your face, because of the two outstanding child actors, Park Da On and Ki So Yu. The whole acting posse is stellar

Emotional Damage!!!!
So we should get better Mother's Day gifts for our mothers. That's why I learned. I like the shows that have more action and less emotions, but this show was really good. I only watched it because the actor on it was on The Glory of which I also thought was amazing.Whoever wrote the show, however, was lifting a concept for a show based on another movie with Harrison Ford called "Regarding Henry". Still they expanded on it so well that it really became its own show.
The show was a little slow, at times, but worth watching.

ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS OUT THERE
This show was something that was just too good for all the people watching it. From the story, to the excellent acting, this show was so perfect. This is not a show that is focused on romance. People actually need to come out the romance tropes. Not everything should contain romance as the main plot. This show had romance in the perfect amount, not too much to shift from the main plot.The actors were so perfectly casted and they improved on the already really good script. Especially the mother. OH MY GOD. She is so natural at what she does. At times, you could see her and you could feel the character's pain so much through her. And all the people really were too good. I was bawling my eyes out so many times in every episode. I cried, I laughed and I got angry too. Life is unfair to so many people and sometimes you cannot help but feel anger at the unjustness of life.
I cannot even describe properly what this show was. I was so speechless when the show ended. I loved it to another level. I don't even watch that many shows but I saw a video about this show somewhere and I knew I had to watch it. PLEASE GIVE IT A WATCH. I don't care how freaking sad this show was at times, but everyone needs to see the amazing acting of the entire cast and the extra freaking amazing storyline.
I have read some reviews about how this show had such less romance, but the show wasn't about romance at all? I don't know who told them that this was a show with romance as main plot because it really is not. This is a show about a mother's struggle and her relationship with her son. This show is about how despite struggling herself, she wanted the best for her son. She made mistakes because it was her first time being a mother, no matter how crazy that sounds. At the end of the day, she wanted the best for her son. This show is about how a son loves his mother so selflessly that he forgot to care about himself at times. This show is about how a son understood his mother and where she was coming from when she was not being very nice to him. Tbh, she was struggling herself and she was doing her best.
Even if you don't like the starting episodes for some reason, just have patience and keep watching. You will love this show. Every single episode, you will love it.
I will fight for this show forever😭🤌🏻
People, if you only want romance in your shows, skip this show because this show has so much more than romance. There are plenty of shows to quench your thirst of romance shows lol

A very good proposal, but done the wrong way
I started watching this drama thinking "wow, a really good synopsis". I really thought it was going to be good, I thought it was going to be one of the best dramas of the year.First of all, I don't think I've ever seen anything so dramatic. I think dramatic things are good, but this dramatic one in particular is embarrassing. The drama has a scene that is so dramatic that it doesn't make any sense, many scenes are like that.
The main character's acting after falling ill isn't good. The drama has incredible actors, but the main actor didn't match the role.
The drama starts with the main character being a horrible person and in the end he becomes a good person, but the excuse for him to become good makes no sense. To me, he's a selfish son of a bitch.
