Watch: Lee Do Hyun And Ra Mi Ran Are Mother And Son Who Struggle To Find True Happiness In Life In "The Good Bad Mother" Teaser

JTBC’s upcoming drama “The Good Bad Mother” has finally dropped its first teaser!

“The Good Bad Mother” is a heartwarming new comedy about a woman who must return to her motherly duties after her adult son unexpectedly becomes like a young child again. Ra Mi Ran will be playing the role of the “bad mother” Jin Young Soon, with Lee Do Hyun playing her son Choi Kang Ho. Ahn Eun Jin will also star in the drama as Lee Mi Joo, Kang Ho’s longtime friend and sole support system, who moves back to her hometown due to financial struggles.

The trailer begins with a truck loaded with pigs entering a village as someone narrates, “Once upon a time, there’s a woman named Young Soon who came to Jowoori village.” Getting out of the driver’s seat is the heavily pregnant Young Soon. When her son is born, Young Soon and her husband (played by Jo Jin Woong) named him Choi Kang Ho in hope that he will become someone who is competent, strong, and powerful. However, when Young Soon eventually has to raise Kang Ho on her own while running a pig farm, she becomes a “bad mom” in order to not pass on her hardships to her son.

The teaser then gives glimpses of Young Soon’s tough love parenting as she can be seen repeatedly putting her son under pressure by saying, “If you study hard and become a prosecutor, no one can look down on you or bully you,” and “Why would you let someone ruin your life?!” To his mom’s harsh words, Kang Ho replies with tears in his eyes, “‘My’ life? When do I ever have ‘my’ life?”

In the following scenes, Kang Ho is now a cold-hearted prosecutor and has his life based on his mother’s plans. However, in a sudden turn of events, the teaser hints at an upcoming huge change in the son and mother’s life as Kang Ho is now lying in the hospital while Young Soon tearfully remarks, “This is an opportunity from heaven. It’s an opportunity for us to restart our life from the beginning.” The trailer ends with the final question, “Can Kang Ho and Young Soon be happy again?”

The drama will be helmed by director Shim Na Yeon of “Beyond Evil” and written by scriptwriter Bae Se Young of “Life Is Beautiful,” “Extreme Job,” and “Intimate Strangers.” In addition to the leads, the drama will also star Yoo In Soo, Jung Woong In, Choi Moo Sung, Seo Yi Sook, Jang Won Young, Kang Mal Geum, and more.
