The Good Bad Mother episode 7 has fans crying for Young-soon and Kang-ho, who just can’t seem to catch a break with their lives. Directed by Shim Na-yeon and written by Bae Se-young, the series stars Ra Mi-ran, Lee Do-hyun, Ahn Eun-jin and Yoo In-soo in main roles.
The slice-of-life series (나쁜엄마) follows Young-soon and her son Kang-ho who share a tumultuous relationship with each other thanks to her strict parenting when he was a child. Now an adult, Kang-ho is a cold-hearted prosecutor who chooses to keep his distance from her mother and lives in the city. However, when a tragedy strikes, Kang-ho is forced to return home to the village, wherein he finds a new lease on life and rebuilds his relationship with his mother as well as with his childhood friend Mi-joo.
Episode 9 is a recap of Kang-ho’s life before his accident and everything he did, and the things he went through during his time in Law School as well as after becoming a prosecutor. It’s an emotionally heavy episode, especially watching Kang-ho go through so many heartbreaking moments to avenge not only his father but also his mother and her struggle to stay afloat, as well as the fact that she had to give up all of her hopes and dreams to make something out of Kang-ho.
The episode makes us see both sides of the situation when it comes to Kang-ho and Young-soon’s relationship. We are made to understand that what we see might not always be the real truth, and there are things that happen behind closed doors that no one ever gets to know about. It’s an important episode to understand the protagonists and their past, and it gives us a few tidbits to move on in the future.
