The narrative centered around prosecutor Kang Ho’s experience with memory loss and the repercussions of a car accident evokes some similarities to Woo Yeong Woo, but set against the backdrop of a pig farm. It turned out to be more intense than anticipated, yet also surprisingly humorous. The cable television viewership began at 3.6% for the premiere episode, culminating in a 12% rating by the finale. This represents a significant progression for Lee Do Hyun as an actor. I’ve always sensed he seemed somewhat restrained in previous roles, and *The Good Bad Mother* finally provides him with ample opportunity to truly shine. He portrays three distinct facets of a single character: a calculating and appealing prosecutor, a bewildered childlike Kang Ho confined to a wheelchair, and ultimately, a healthy son devoted to his mother after overcoming numerous obstacles. And Lee Do Hyun handles it remarkably well! While the criminal plot is skillfully developed, the most touching aspect of the drama lies in the depiction of village life and the relationships between its inhabitants. I frequently laughed out loud whenever Sam Shik or the two secretaries who became salad farmers appeared. (Yoo In Soo deserves greater acknowledgment; he’s quite funny.) The child actors, Ye Jin (Kim So Yoo) and Seo Jin (Park Da On), are also delightful to watch. It's not always straightforward working with children, particularly when aiming for such a vibrant connection between youngsters around five or six years old. The conclusion didn’t elicit tears of joy or sorrow, but *The Good Bad Mother* will undoubtedly remain one of my most cherished dramas, remembered fondly for its gentle humor, meticulous attention to detail, captivating storyline (who was responsible for what?!), endearing and lively characters, and, naturally, adorable piglets. 🐖
