The Good Bad Mother - Tumblr Posts
the good bad mother needs to let me know who to hate really
sam sik saying he’s kang ho’s fiancée to get the ring will never not be funny
one day i hope i will inspire the same level of mass confusion as the face mask lady in the good bad mother does
loving this new era of kdramas where the fl isnt afraid and meek to ASK for love all the time (and it isnt just the ml taking initiative
i will never understand the korean magic of having their actors appear as high school students and then 30 yo people in the next frame what witchcraft sir
2023 kdrama list
list of the kdramas i watched and loved in 2023
obviously this is quite late but to those who want to start a kdrama, this is it.
#10 - soundtrack #2

there is such a comfort in the soundtrack series. even soundtrack #1 was so good, but this new instalment, truly works on the og kdrama tropes. lovers to exes to accidental 'fate' encounter to forced proximity to lovers again. puppy dog male lead, angsty female lead, jealousy, wholesome second lead, it's got it all. and ofc, music.
#9 - king the land

many people did not like this drama. honestly, if you're watching a kdrama that is romance and comedy then why would be angry that it had romance and comedy. again, a true example of a classic kdrama, rich ceo guy with hardworking girl, mix in some trauma and employee-employer drama, and this is the perfect clichéd drama.
#8 - see you in my 19th life

honestly i just like watching ahn bo hyun. he is such a pretty man. storyline-wise, i feel like they did a lot of stuff, but the ending honestly disappointed me. shin hye sun, as usual, love the woman, what an actor, the second leads also did not disappoint, loved them all.
#7 - crash course in romance

such a heartwarming drama. choi chiyeol with the temperament of a wet cat, the stress of studies in all asian countries, not just korea. all the romances were so cute (barring the best friend and brother). one thing they could have done better was cast a younger actress for the female lead. even this love triangle was so cute and fun.
#6 - my demon

song kang and kim yoo jung really killed it with the chemistry. i mean, forget everything else, i'll just take 16 episodes of them hanging out. even behind the scenes reels will work. the plot was pretty solid, felt like a remake of doom at your service. song kang does a wonderful job at being both goofy and serious, and kim yoo jung did so good at the angsty ceo.
#5 - the good bad mother

am i surprised this ended up higher than my demon? yes. this was such a good show, the past and present layered together so beautifully. the villains seemed like actual villains, but you weren't sure who to hate until the last episode. really shows some aspects of motherhood through both the eyes of the kids and mothers. had a cute little romance as well.
#4 - the worst of evil

ji chang wook and wi ha jun. need i say more? i have said it once, and i'll say it again - so few do action like koreans do. i mean, vincenzo, my name, midnight runners, and now this, such action masterpieces.
#3 - daily dose of sunshine

park bo young wa sso cute in this one. i miss small kdramas with intense plots. mental illnesses were dealt with very well in this one. the romance was so cute, and chang ryul, my baby, i missed him so much.
#2 - alchemy of souls s2

i just. love. this series. so much. like, the characters are so well built, the storyline, the romance, the destiny, oh my god. please watch this.
#1 - welcome to samdal-ri

this comes as a surprise to absolutely no one. what a feel-good drama to end 2023. it was the perfect remix of hometown cha cha cha that we all needed. ji chang wook, my absolute gem of a man, and shin hye sun, queen of no shit given but too many shits given roles. adore the friendships, romance, calm setting, the love between everyone. please watch it.
you literally took all the words out of my mouth 😧
I love love love how you said it actually embodies the essence of typical Asian mothers because anyone who grew up in a strict household would somehow or the other relate to kangho in a way,,,
anyone watching the good bad mother here? i need to scream
“don’t ever let her find out how much i love her.”

Watching "The good bad mother"... it's soo good I'm hooked
The casting was perfect... and it's such a good story
casting lee dohyun in the good bad mother is maybe one of the best castings ever... because put that man in a suit with his hair done and he's stern. he's powerful. he's undefeatable. he's 35.
but make him smile his dopey ass heartstrings-pulling wide smile with his hair down and he's young. he's meek. he's adorable and sweet. he's 7.
THE SCREAM?? 😭
I was crying but then i hear his voice ..
“ the good bad mother” art process!

The rest if her, and then lining up the two halves together!
This was such a fun project to do, hehe happy to see lots of people liking it as well 🥺❤️
The good bad mother
So, I'm hating Kang-Ho because he was a total idiot
BUT
I feel that he did it on purpose.
I feel that Kng-Ho pushed everyone away because he knew that his dad did not committed suicide. I feel Kang-Ho found out his dad was killed and he wants revenge.
When he was breaking up with Mi-Jo, Mi-Jo say "You have do to something on your own." And he agreed and then left. AND I FEEL that the something was to get revenge.
Him pulling Sam-Sik out of the bar and giving him money? He was surrounded by prosecutors who were evil and he didn't want anybody close to him to be involved.
The scene of him rolling the car towards the river? I feel that was made up. I feel he took the woman and the baby to a safe place and then dumped the car for the fishes to live in.
Him leaving Mi-Jo? She was already too close. He wanted her to be safe. That's why he felt pain when he saw her again.
Him saving those documents behind the painting? Proof of what he had been ordered to do.
I feel that the times he was evil were because he needed to convince others that he actually was evil.
I feel he did it on purpose.
But maybe that's wishful thinking.
