Congrats to the Bad Mom (The Good Bad Mother) and her complicated loving relationship with her son as the jTBC weekday drama ends with this Thursday’s episode 14. Most K-dramas are 16-episodes, some 20 and a few even 12-episodes but this is an odd length as I can recollect. Other than that the drama was a one way success train, starting with 3% ratings and only going up with the final episode getting 12.032%. It got overshadowed in the success department by even higher rated same network drama Doctor Cha on the weekend time slot but the two dramas delivered exactly what viewers want – conflict and familial complication and finally catharsis and resolution. Congrats to Ra Mi Ran for headlining and continuing her booming success since breaking out with Answer Me 1988 and of course a return to form for Lee Do Hyun after the criticism he received in The Glory.
This is the only time a JTBC weekday drama broke double digits. It is the fifth highest-rating weekday drama after Extraordinary Attorney Woo (17.534%), 100 Days My Prince (14.412%), Hospital Playlist Season 1 (14.142%) and Hospital Playlist Season 2 (14.080%).
So Lee dohyun is fairly popular, has had a couple Netflix hits and now a ratings hit as well. I wonder if he’s finally achieved top star status?
This was a great drama at some point until it wasn’t anymore. It started out really good but kinda faded a lot during the last episodes but still an enjoyable ride. Mi joo was my favourite character ( am sure she was everybody’s) and I enjoyed all the scenes that included the twins especially with Kang Ho. The Mother tho was a lost cause, she tried to rule over her son’s life so much that it was disturbing.
Overall I am really happy with Lee Do Hyun after The Glory which I didn’t think he was bad in he was just underutilised.
The end was Superfantastic.We need more of this kudos to the actor and actresses they deserve an award there act are so natural….especially the prosecutor.
TvN and the other channels definitely need to learn a thing or two from JTBC’ success on Wed& Thurs drama slots.
