All About My Mom, is truly about the mom, how much love and care she puts into her family even if she didn't always show it. It shows us viewers that there really is no place quite like home. You may get mad, throw fits of anger, scream or lash out at those you love when something gets to you but all in all it's b/c it's your home and you know you'll be forgiven. That doesn't mean it doesn't end up leaving you with regrets for the actions you've taken in the past or present, guilt for what you've done or said ladles you down but the love of your family embraces you for everything you are, both your good and bad sides, though it may hurt, the love sees through the harshness and sees the soul. Family is the one we hurt the most, but they are also the ones we love the most. Our worst sides and our best sides are shown to them.

Characters (My personal thoughts on them, my likes and dislikes):
----- Jin Ae: A daughter who grew up without receiving the desired attention and love that her brother received, felt alone and rejected. I've been a fan of Eugene since 'Loving You', she in my eyes is an astounding actress (will always be one of my favorites). I loved her character and I could easily sympathize with her. She loved her mom and just wanted to be loved by her (or shown it in a more affectionate way) and when she was given the short end of the stick seemingly every time she'd get angry and when her mom acted like a mom she'd get embarrassed b/c it was awkward for her. She admires her boss. Finds love in a "handy-man" lol - I personally really loved their story :)
----- Hoon Jae: Raised by a single mom in a rich home, he finds Jin Ae seeping into his heart and pursues her wholeheartedly ^_^ I loved this big lovable dork, a totally different side to Sang Woo then I have seen before - I especially liked those looks he'd give to his otherwise "rival" seriously so adorable, every-time he'd give that boyish look of competing to him I'd roll with laughter b/c of how funny it was and how adorable he looked. ^_^
----- Hyeong Gyu: I know this character received a lot of hate from the vast majority of the people who watched this drama but I honestly liked him for the most part, in the beginning he was stuck up and was only trying to reach one goal (riches) but when he settles down and starts to help Hye Joo, I really really liked his screen time and his character, he as his mom put it opened up his hardened heart. He does get on my nerves again soon after though and I almost started to dislike him a bit, but I was more disappointed with his actions than anything. His moments with those he cared for when he wasn't being rude was so precious in my eyes - especially in the last few episodes. So he was a favorite of mine.
-----San Ok Eomoeni: I loved her, I thought she was kind of mean in the beginning and not fair to her children, always favoring Hyeong Gyu and neglecting Jin Ae but as the drama unfolded my love for her character just kept growing, she was so precious and loved her children so much, and such a nice woman to all those who started to come into her family. The deepest character in the drama is her. She could make me cry with the things she said so quickly that at times I didn't even know I was being affected until my eyes started to burn and the tears started to fall. Such a powerful performance by this great actress. (she's become one of my favorite "mom" actors since I first saw her in 'Legendary Witch').
----- Chae Ri: Such a wild bright and engaging girl, I loved her sweetness and her rude charm lol, she knew what she wanted and she charged at it like no one else - easily slipping on shoes to fit her new environments without a care. Most of the drama I liked her alot - there were a couple scenes with her and Hyeong Soo that I thought were way too dramatic and all I could do was back up and laugh it off ( I honestly think the drama could have cut those overly dramatic scenes out of the drama and it would have made it better). She easily loved and cared for those in her life. A++
----- Hyeong Soo: For the most part he is a a sweet and kind guy but he had one major flaw that made me really dislike him for several episodes in the latter half of the drama - a HUGE inferiority complex - big self-pity. It really really got on my nerves and I couldn't help but call him pathetic and even a looser at times b/c of that attitude. But when he wasn't in that complex outfit he was a really great guy and I enjoyed every other scene with him.
----- Hye Joo: I liked her when she worked at the law office but she started to get on my nerves later on too, with her wimpy attitude of being such a fragile woman who cries at every turn and breaks with a little hard work (radish wrist -_-), she also had no discipline in her family with her son and her mother, she didn't set proper boundaries and rarely ever spoke her mind, she'd just tear up and whimper instead and that really got on my nerves, especially since her closed mouth ended up making Hyeong Gyu throw angry fits where it wasn't deserved. She was nice, but too meek. Her son was so sweet in the earlier episodes as well, but he also became a bit of a brat in the later ones (albeit his mom let him get away with it). Oh and I couldn't believe her and her mom wanted people to eat their very bad tasting food.
----- Dong Chool: I really did not like this character at all. He was such a flirt, always lost money, and even down to the way he moved, talked, laughed and dressed annoyed me lol (I've seen this actor in other shows so I was surprised with the character he portrayed in this drama - his acting was great but I hated his character). I don't think I could respect such a "father" or such a "husband". He was such a mama's boy that his wife struggled all her life - even after his mom had died. And who in their right mind would put up such a huge picture of their mother in their bedroom?!! So creepy! That did not belong in there at all.
----- Yeong Seon: Hoon Jae's mom, I really liked her in the beginning, but later on she gets SO jealous, at first I was amused at her jealousy, but then she started to act so childish b/c of it that I got annoyed at her attitude toward Jin Ae. I never hated her though and I still found her amusing with her jealously at times. I'm just glad this didn't go on for the whole drama b/c that would have been terrible lol - Overall she's a very nice person who just happened to be jealous when it came to her son.

Music was nice, I knew a lot of the background songs and the theme songs were nice as well.

I might re-watch this sometime in the future. I definitely recommend it to those who love family dramas.
