Ra Mi-Ran and Lee Do-Hyun with their incredible acting elevates this kdrama and sweeps you into their bittersweet story of a mother and son relationship. These two leads bring out the raw emotions of a relationship that evolved between them because of a horrific tragedy. The supporting cast is good with Eun-Jin Ahn (Mi-Joo) giving a very strong performance and the two kids are just wonderful. Ra Mi-Ran and Lee Do-Hyun deserve awards for their performances. They were that exceptional. The one issue I have is the over the top slapstick side comedy. The storyline did not warrant this kind of buffoonery and was distasteful . The Good Bad Mother deserved better than that.
