i was emotionally shattered when they announced that goodbye earth would be postponed until an unknown date (which now most likely would not be released at all lmaoooo) so my anticipation for the good bad mother kind of skyrocketed.
at first, i was a bit upset they didn't show us much about the high schooler days of our favourite trio and how their friendship developed throughout the years, but it's understandable as the main story started when kangho became a prosecutor anyway.
the good bad mother presents a heavy yet very important message about the relationship of parents and their children, children and their parents. it's a bittersweet story touching various walks of life, with brilliant chemistry and acting of all the casts. the jouri people remind me so much of gongsan (from when the camellia blooms), and yes, this is very very high praise (when the camellia blooms is still that drama for me).
ahn eunjin and yoo insoo's friendship dynamic might be my favourite thing about this drama. their behind the scene videos are so much fun too, i'm so happy that they're great friends now. lee dohyun is at the top of his game, it's really exciting to see him proving himself further and further. ra miran is an absolute legend i know eunjin was jumping outta joy having miran and her own name under one project. a very successful one, at that. the ost is meh but it's okay. overall a quite solid drama. also congrats on reaching the highest rating on wed-thu drama in jtbc's history, the one and only (2021) could only dream.
