First off, I just wanna say that Angry Mom is a must watch! Angry Mom is about a mother of a high schooler going back to school as a high schooler to get back at the kids who tormented her child. However, as she makes friends at school she soon discovers what's truly going within the school walls and fights for what is right not just for her daughter for the other students as well.

I stumbled upon this drama as I was initially looking for a comedy drama to watch and the synopsis alone seemed so absurd I had to give this drama a whirl. Angry Mom definitely has some comedic elements especially with Gong Joo and her gang, but I was not expecting this drama to be this dark and deep as it was. The drama really dives head first into the corruptions of the world such as embezzlement and really showcased school bullying excellently, which is a severe problem in Korea. As I kept on asking myself "does this really happen in Korea?" then again these things can happen anywhere in the world. Angry Mom is initially more comedy based, but gets more and more chilling as episodes continue.

I absolutely loved the main female lead Kim Hee Sun as Jo Kang Ja her performance was simply amazing. Although, I'm not sure how she looks like a high schooler as you can definitely tell she's at least 30 years old, but Kim Hee Sun has aged beautifully and to my surprise is currently (per this review) 38. Not to mention, Ji Soo as Go Bok Dong his character transformation was truly my favorite as he went from being a hard core uncaring gangster/bully to someone who truly cares.

Furthermore, after watching so many romance dramas, I was getting tired of all the mushiness and watching Angry Mom was really refreshing as I was glad it did not contain the typical romances. However, this drama did contain love such as the love between a mother and daughter, the love of a friendship, and the love of a teacher who deeply cares for his students. These are the types of loves I think everyone can relate to which is why this drama resonated with me so much.

However, my one critique is that I did like the OST, but during certain scenes I felt as though the song did not quite match with what was going on. Although, separately I liked each song.
