The Good Bad Mother: Episodes 5-6

by lovepark

Old faces return to the village one by one, but not all reunions are embraced with open arms. While some have forgotten the past, others have these memories carved into their soul, and the clash between those who have wronged and the those who have been wronged causes anger and resentment to bubble up. As our hero slowly learns more about his past, he may have to reconcile what he wishes to become and what he once was.

 

EPISODES 5-6

Mi-joo is back in town for good, and while Kang-ho is immediately smitten, the same cannot be said for her. Though she once shared happy memories with him, he dumped her without a proper explanation, which left her with a lot of unresolved feelings. Thus, she tries to distance herself and her kids from Kang-ho, but the task proves ineffective in their small, tight-knit village.

As for Kang-ho, grabbing Mi-joo’s attention becomes his number one priority, so he sets off on getting a dog to impress her. He ends up with a pig instead, but like father like son, Kang-ho manages to lose it before getting a chance to show it to Mi-joo. With the twins joining the chase, the three troublemakers run around town to rescue the pig, and along the way, their annoying neighbor crashes his car to avoid them.

While the pig serves its purpose in reuniting the two lovers briefly, the annoying neighbor strikes again and takes Kang-ho and Young-soon to the police station. Thankfully, the officers are sympathetic to Young-soon, and Kang-ho seals the deal when he recalls details from the accident and recites laws the neighbor broke.

 

After their trip to the police station, Kang-ho returns home first and finds their living room trashed and filled with poop. He blames his pet pig, Lion, for the mess, but in actuality, Woo-byeok’s men broke into their house to recover the blackmail material on Tae-soo.

While Woo-byeok’s men hide and film their own rom-com moment in the closet, a third intruder enters the scene. Things turn chaotic as the new stranger tries to murder Kang-ho, and Woo-byeok’s men fly out to save him. By the time Young-soon arrives, all three intruders have vanished, and Kang-ho’s description of the night’s event sounds like a far-fetched lie.

Meanwhile, Woo-byeok’s men lose the hired killer, and both Woo-byeok and Tae-soo are seething at their lackeys’ incompetence. With one side needing him dead and the other needing him alive, it’s clear that Kang-ho holds the key to this war, and his enemies are willing to do anything in order to win.

Lee Do Hyun And Ra Mi Ran Run Into Ahn Eun Jin During An Emotional Outing In “The Good Bad Mother”

DRAMA PREVIEW

 

JTBC’s “The Good Bad Mother” has shared a heartbreaking glimpse of its next episode!

 

“The Good Bad Mother” is a drama about a woman who must return to her motherly duties after her adult son unexpectedly becomes like a young child again. Lee Do Hyun stars 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.

Spoilers

On the previous episode of “The Good Bad Mother,” Young Soon was taken to the hospital after falling unconscious and collapsing. There, she was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer—and Young Soon fell into despair at the thought of leaving Kang Ho alone in the world to fend for himself.

 

In newly released stills from the drama’s upcoming episode, Young Soon and Kang Ho go on a meaningful picnic. Young Soon takes Kang Ho to his father Hae Sik (Jo Jin Woong)’s grave, and she sits there looking helpless and devastated.

Meanwhile, oblivious to his mother’s pain, Kang Ho happily enjoys their outing without a care in the world.

 

Spoiler

 

Later on, the mother and son run into Mi Joo (Ahn Eun Jin), whose face falls after seeing them. Notably, Young Soon and Mi Joo seem to be avoiding each other’s gaze, raising the question of why Mi Joo is acting differently from her usual self—and what she might have heard or noticed about Young Soon.

 

Spoiler

 

The producers of “The Good Bad Mother” commented, “Please keep an eye on Young Soon, who has become a bad mother once again, and the stories of Kang Ho and Mi Joo, who have noticed the unfamiliar changes in her. Although they briefly hit the brakes on their journey to find the happiness they’d lost, they will turn the ignition back on and slowly move forward again.”

 

The next episode of “The Good Bad Mother” will air on May 17 at 10:30 p.m. KST.

The Good Bad Mother: Episodes 7-8

by lovepark

Our bad mother never gets a break as tragedy after tragedy befalls her this week. Pushed to the brink, she feels trapped by her circumstances and chooses to do the unthinkable. However, as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining, and just maybe, our heroes will finally get to see the sun after the storm passes.

 

EPISODES 7-8

 

The cancer reveal from last week puts a sudden timeline on Young-soon’s plans, so she starts preparing Kang-ho for life without her. She teaches him how to run the farm and take care of himself, including a lesson on cursing for the occasional bully he might come across. Things go well at first for Young-soon in spite of everything, but another unexpected disaster strikes: an outbreak occurs at a nearby goat farm.

According to the law, all livestock must be culled within a certain radius, and before Young-soon can properly digest the news, the government barges into her farm and slaughters her pigs. As she watches her pigs die, it reminds her of all the loved ones she has lost before, and this incident becomes the final straw.

 

After buying herbicide, Young-soon takes Kang-ho to visit his dad. Unaware of her plans, Kang-ho innocently comments on how this feels like a picnic but rescinds his statement since they forgot to pack gimbap. Hearing his words, Young-soon apologizes and explains how she lost her family and husband after making them gimbap. As a result, she became afraid of losing him as well, which was why she never sent him on school picnics.

As Young-soon struggles to open the bottle of herbicide, Kang-ho takes it from her and offers to help. For a moment, she looks up apprehensively as if caught red-handed, but Kang-ho tells her that they need to feed their pig first. He says that they can start over with Lion, and Young-soon weakly smiles back at him.

While at work, Mi-joo overhears the pesticide owner talk about Young-soon’s recent purchase, and she immediately puts the clues together. She runs to Young-soon’s house in a panic and comes in time to see them returning from their trip. Without forewarning, she grabs the bag from Young-soon, and Young-soon realizes that Mi-joo knows what she planned to do. Before she leaves, Mi-joo asks Kang-ho to take her son to the bath house tomorrow, and her seemingly nonchalant request gives Young-soon an excuse to live for another day.

 

 

Experiencing a change of heart, Young-soon decides against the double suicide, and instead, she drops Kang-ho off at a long-term care facility. Kang-ho asks if she is leaving him behind to go somewhere nice, and when she does not answer, he apologizes, thinking that he did something wrong. Holding back her tears, Young-soon lets go of Kang-ho’s hands and rushes to her truck without looking back.

At home, Young-soon dresses up and says her final goodbyes. Right as she kicks the chair from under her feet, the doors open, and Kang-ho stares up at her. Having escaped the facility, Kang-ho wheeled himself all the way home, and filled with desperation, he stands up to save his mom.

The sight of Kang-ho standing reinvigorates Young-soon, and she slips the noose off. She hugs him in relief, but Kang-ho’s expression hardens as his gaze goes up to the ceiling. He leaves the house without a word, and Young-soon chases after him.

 

In a daze, Kang-ho stops in the middle of the road, but all his emotions burst out at once when he sees Mi-joo staring at him from down the street. As they find shelter from the rain, he tells her that his mom abandoned him, but Mi-joo thinks differently. She says that his mom would never do that, and if she did, then she probably has a good reason. Kang-ho wonders how she knows, and Mi-joo tells him that she was abandoned, too.

As the two of them sit in silence, Young-soon finds them and takes Kang-ho home. She decides to tell her son the truth and explains how she is sick and did not want to burden him. While Kang-ho listens to her explanation, he asks if he was a burden to her, then, and the hypocrisy of her actions finally hit her. Realizing that Kang-ho wants to be her guardian as well, Young-soon genuinely smiles for the first time in ages, but this respite lasts mere seconds before things turn dark for our mother-son pair.

At the end of the latest episode, Young Soon discovered a letter that Kang Ho had written to her before his accident—and the letter pointed her in the direction of an SD card he had hidden inside a photo frame.

 

In newly released stills from the drama’s next episode, Young Soon and Kang Ho face the secret of the mysterious SD card from his past. Both mother and son appear frozen in shock as they stare at a laptop screen together, with Young Soon eventually bursting into tears. While Kang Ho seems to be grasping at hazy straws of his faded memory, Young Soon suddenly grabs him by both arms as if pleading with him.

The producers of “The Good Bad Mother” teased, “Episode 9 will go back in time to Kang Ho’s past. It will depict Kang Ho’s actions during the brief period of time after he left Young Soon’s side. Please keep an eye on what kind of mindset Kang Ho developed after accepting the fate that his ‘bad mother’ Young Soon decided for him as he became a cold-blooded prosecutor.”

 

To find out what’s hidden on Kang Ho’s SD card—and whether he will be able to remember his shocking past—catch the next episode of “The Good Bad Mother” on May 24 at 10:30 p.m. KST!
