Green Mothers Club

There are SOOO many layers to unpack in this K-drama. I honestly had very low expectations initially b/c the teaser for the series was pretty vague and boring, but I'm so glad I watched this show through to the end. It doesn't really pick up till ep. 3 or 4 though, so I think many of the ppl who gave negative reviews did so b/c they stopped watching after the first couple of episodes. But be patient, and you'll see why many of us gave this show rave reviews. I won't even try to explain what the series is about b/c it's too complex to try to explain in only a few sentences (and the summaries online don't do the show justice b/c it explores a wide range of issues around society, raising a family, and mental health). It's sadly also a fairly accurate portrayal of the kinds of challenges that many kids and parents go through in Korea, and I'm glad the creators were brave enough to tackle this thorny topic. Highly recommend if you want a glimpse into what Korean society is really like (for better or for worse lol)--just excuse the poor French that you sometimes hear being spoken in the series!

I quite enjoyed this series and thought it is good that they're tackling different issues in these type of series now. It might be slow for some but overall its a good drama and you should give it a chance if you're into the type of TV series.

This is a good series, some people with children can definitely relate. It showed how mothers go all out for their children altho it can also backfire as is it really for the kid or for her own feeling to be on top of the other mothers that are struggling.

So I watched episode 10 and if the series continues like this the rating of 10 stands.

I rank it right behind sky castle .

About korean series. I watched a ton for a westerner and at this point squid game is the worst I have seen.

There is 1 issue and that is the french speaking. That is unnecessary. But other than there is little to fault it.

Well the character Eun-pyo sometimes her acting is subdued. She looks pale according to where she is in the story. I personally don't like this choice but otherwise there is not a single thing I find distracting

The relationships between the women change constantly and we the viewer are confronted with their personal struggles and successes.

For me the series is about finding happiness. Real happiness and not the superfluous one that they chase.

Joo ye-rim (violinist) and Park ye-rin ( the girl that got accepted) do deliver great natural performances and while the focus isn't on them they do an excellent job at delivering the story in such a gripping way.

I would give too much away if I said more as the twists and the way they are delivered raises this from an average series to one of the best.

The director did an excellent job. And because of this it is a 10 and not an 8 or a 9.

Anyway check this out. It should get more attention than it does.

Maybe one more thing korean series are often darker ( both in color and the general story ) than western series so it might take some time to get used to. But when you do you will get rewarded.

EDIT: the french of the father got to me.... I had a hard time finishing episode 13 because of it... it also started to drag.... so ATM an 8.

Korean Drama "Green Mothers' Club" is a basic drama about the battle between two mothers. It also involves some mystery about one of the mothers and her unfortunate death.

The dynamics between the two main leads were smooth and intense and they were just right to have the story moving forward. However, the main mystery, though thrilling at first, was a letdown in the end and got boring quickly. The school politics were just okay, though the story of Eunpyo and her son was well managed.

As for the performances, they were all pretty great, though some characters could have been handled differently.

So, overall, seven out of ten.
