Apr 13, 2023

JTBC’s upcoming drama “The Good Bad Mother” has shared a sneak peek of Yoo In Soo in character!

“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. Lee Do Hyun will star as Kang Ho, a prominent prosecutor who has a fraught relationship with his mother Young Soon (Ra Mi Ran)—until he loses his memory in an accident and unexpectedly reverts to his seven-year-old self.

Ahn Eun Jin will star in the drama as Mi Joo, Kang Ho’s longtime friend and sole support system, who moves back to her hometown due to financial struggles.

Yoo In Soo—who recently starred in “All of Us Are Dead” and “Alchemy of Souls”—will play the role of Sam Sik, who is notorious in their village for constantly getting into trouble. Although he is the same age as Kang Ho and was born and raised in the same village, the two men couldn’t be more different—and Sam Sik feels a strange sense of rivalry with the accomplished prosecutor.

However, despite his seemingly wild and unpredictable ways, Sam Sik is pure of heart when it comes to romance. The hopelessly smitten Sam Sik only has eyes for Mi Joo, even though his love is unrequited.

Describing how he felt the first time he read the script, Yoo In Soo recalled, “As soon as I received the script, I read the whole thing on the spot in the blink of an eye. I was so curious about what would happen next that I really wanted to receive the script for the next episode as quickly as possible.”

Notably, “The Good Bad Mother” will mark Yoo In Soo’s reunion with “Moments of 18” director Shim Na Yeon. The actor remarked, “When the director contacted me, I immediately thought that I would agree to do her next project, no matter what it was. Because I was really happy filming ‘Moments of 18,’ and I thought that I would no doubt be just as happy filming this drama as well.”

As for his approach to playing his character, Yoo In Soo said, “Bang Sam Sik is a ball of trouble, but he’s impossible to hate, and he’s a character whose charm makes people want to become friends with him. Before filming, the director told me, ‘I’d like Sam Sik to be cute,’ so I tried to squeeze out all the cuteness I had inside me.”
