Description:

"The Good Bad Mother" explores the poignant and complicated bond between Young Soon, a devoted single mother and pig farmer, and her son, Kang Ho. Despite her profound love, Young Soon's notably strict parenting style led Kang Ho to perceive her as a "bad mother" throughout his life. As an adult, Kang Ho grew into a coldhearted prosecutor, purposefully maintaining a significant emotional distance from his mother.

However, a sudden and unforeseen accident drastically alters Kang Ho's life, compelling him to return to his hometown and, unexpectedly, to "start over" with Young Soon. This forced reunion offers a unique opportunity for mother and son to confront their past and mend their fractured relationship. During this period, Kang Ho also reconnects with his childhood friend, Mi Joo, known for her warm heart and strong sense of justice. Mi Joo's renewed connection with Kang Ho following his accident sparks a deeply transformative personal journey for her, further enriching the unfolding narrative of healing and understanding.
