Ra Mi Ran, Lee Do Hyun, Ahn Eun Jin, And Yoo In Soo Are Full Of Emotions In "The Good Bad Mother" Posters

Apr 07, 2023

JTBC’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama “The Good Bad Mother” has dropped new character posters!

“The Good Bad Mother” is a heartwarming new comedy about a woman who must return to her motherly duties after her adult son becomes like a child again. Ra Mi Ran will star as the titular “good bad mother” Young Soon, a single mom who was widowed at a young age and raised her son Kang Ho by herself while running a pig farm. Lee Do Hyun will star as Kang Ho, a prominent prosecutor who has a fraught relationship with his mother—until he loses his memory in an accident and unexpectedly reverts to his seven-year-old self.

The newly released posters capture the four characters’ subtle expressions that contain mixed feelings. First of all, Young Soon has contrasting images of both a strong mother and endearing mother. In order not to pass down poverty and ignorance to her son Kang Ho, Young Soon decides to become a “bad mother” herself. Her teary eyes hint at her remorse and self-reproach for not being able to be a “good mother” for her son as she had no choice but to become more harsh on him even though she feels sorry every time. The text that reads, “It’s all my fault. I raised you like this,” tugs at the viewers’ heartstrings.

Lee Do Hyun transforms into Young Soon’s son Kang Ho, who is a prosecutor but becomes a child by an unfortunate accident. From the moment he was born, Kang Ho is nurtured by Young Soon’s thorough planning and management. He becomes a prosecutor, which is Young Soon’s long-held goal, while hiding his own secrets. While Kang Ho hides his emotions behind his poker face, the text that reads, “I held it all back because you like it, Mom,” conveys heavy and complex emotions toward his mother Young Soon.

Ahn Eun Jin will portray Kang Ho’s longtime friend and his only resting place Mi Joo. Kang Ho and Mi Joo, who were born at the same time in Jouri Village and grew up together their entire lives, are like destiny to each other. The text that reads, “I will invest in you. I am going to help you,” together with her sparkling eyes show her unconditional trust and support for Kang Ho.

Yoo In Soo will play Jouri Village’s troublemaker Sam Sik who is deeply in love with Mi Joo. Although Sam Sik and Kang Ho are of the same age, they are completely different. Unlike his tough appearance, he is a pure and honest person. On top on his serious yet somewhat mischievous expression, his words of confession, “If I ever steal something again in the future, it will be your heart,” make viewers smile.
