amazing series!
amazing series! One of the deepest and most moving dramas I've seen. I say what most people think because I haven't seen this kdrama before. Every episode makes us cry, because it's impossible not to be touched by this story. A deep reflection on how difficult life can be for some people, resilience and love! The cast was masterful 10Questa recensione ti è stata utile?

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

talvez a gente devesse maneirar no hype
por mais que eu tenha adorado o kangho, a mijoo e as crianças, eu não gostei basicamente todos os outros personagens, inclusive a mãe, eu entendo que o objetivo do dorama é deixar você com a dúvida se ela é uma boa mãe ou não, se você gosta dela ou não, mas pra mim foi um não nos dois casos.eu acho que the good bad mother tenta demais fazer você simpatizar com uma mãe abusiva e manipuladora.
não gostei muito do andamento do show, achei bem lento em várias partes e acho que se demorou demais em alguns assuntos que não tinha necessidade ao mesmo tempo em que não deu devida importância pra assuntos que (na minha opinião) eram mais importantes.
fui ver pelo hype e não me arrependi, porém acho que tem muitas coisas que poderiam ser melhores. lee dohyun continua pra mim com um histórico ótimo de doramas, porém esse não entra na lista dos melhores.

Good drama with mothers love
It was really a good drama acting, mother sentiment and children’s cute acting everything was wholesome especially villagers were like a family I enjoyed till last episode it’s just that feel bit sad about ending do they really have to do that? It was totally like a Indian movie drama where hero doesn’t remember his past and children’s without father and mother sentiment for so nothing special I always find these kind of stories but still it was good in Korean too but I expected even more where cool stuff like badass female lead character and male lead could have been done more when he regained his memories like cool stuff you know like in Vencenzo drama we need such scripts but still actors nailed their part I watched it because of main leads and children well still didn’t disappointed me over all happy with the drama I hope next drama for male lead should get more extend version of cool guy and mother acting was next level no words for that beauty I felt crying at last episode due to mother sentiment well thumbs up for the team all the bestQuesta recensione ti è stata utile?
Happy, sad, emotional are all in this drama
I don't know what else to say but this K-drama is awesome, in terms of story, actors, ost, everything is perfect.The story a man losing his memory/returning like a 7 year old child until he regains his memory, going through really tough times.
and stories of romance, family, affection, all presented very well, especially the story between mother and child which really brings tears to my eyes. You have to watch this and guaranteed you won't regret it??

Emphasis on the words GOOD BAD in the title
I know many people don’t like the show because of the mother, but just as the title suggests she is a good bad mother. Her reasoning behind her actions and decisions are good but her approach is wrong. I believe if you watch the show all the way through you will like it.I say this because I was going to rate it a 7 but after finishing in it went up to a 9.5 for me.

The Truth is in the Title
The Title tells you what you need to know. The Mother here is both Good and Bad in many ways and at different times. Her Husband was brutally murdered while she was still pregnant with her first and only son. In her mind, she has one and only one really important job. She must raise a son who is extremely well educated and can go on to aspire to an important and powerful job, in spite of living in the countryside on a pig farm. As he grows into his teen years, she allows him almost no free time or fun time, because he must study. She does not let him spend time drawing, even if it his favorite pastime, because it will not lead to a position of power in which he can deal with the people and their ilk who killed her Husband and his Father, who he has never met. She doesn't allow him to go on a field trip, and when he fills out the form, giving the reason why he can't go, he writes down "Bad Mom". He goes on to become a Prosecutor with a rather cold demeanor. His is involved in a traffic accident, has a head injury, loses his memories and reverts back to the mentality of a 7 year old. She is his sole caretaker and has moved to a new village where she has a pig farm. Initially, the villagers decide they don't like her because the farm is "smelly" though in truth, it is pretty pristine. She is determined to bring her son back to "normal". He does physical therapy to help him escape his wheelchair, for instance. But when she finds that she has a death sentence disease, she becomes even more powerfully determined that her son's condition will improve so that he can care for himself when she is gone. She does some horrible and shocking things to him to prove he can leave the chair behind. She is not abusive because she doesn't love him, but because she loves him too much, and is terrified what will happen to him when she is gone. He has a friend who was born in the same place on the same day that he was, and they fall in love, but she leaves the area, saying she is going to the US. She leaves twins in her mother's care. He befriends the twins, and in his 7-year-old state, loves to play with them. More happens - but I will let you find that out for yourself. This is not really an unhappy story and is filled with love and goodness. He manages to recover quite a bit from his injuries, and he really loves his mother. On her Bad days, when she was desperate to make him self-sufficient, she was "Bad". On good days, when she cared for him in her Loving way, she was Good. She was both.The bottom line is that I loved this show, even though it brought me to tears more than once. Lee Do Hyun was exceptional as the son, and Ra Mi Ran played the loving Mother with the desperate and abusive actions with love, strength and determination. The twins were outstanding! I don't know where in the world the Koreans find children with this kind of ability. His girlfriend , who reappears, was perfect and all of the rest of the cast were outstanding as well. Even the pigs did a good job, with one of them having a little bigger role. I recommend this show with no reservations at all. It is outstanding and a "must watch" in my opinion.
