Ra Mi-ran, Lee Do-hyun, and Ahn Eun-jin return with a pleasant and warm healing comedy.
JTBC's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Bad Mom' is a touching healing story about mother Yeong-sun (played by Ra Mi-ran), who had no choice but to become a stubbornly bad mother for her child, and her son Kang-ho (played by Lee Do-hyun), who became a child in an unexpected accident, and found the happiness they lost. It's a comedy. The story of a mother and son who set out to find true happiness only after everything is 'reset' is expected to provide a touching experience amidst pleasant laughter.
Director Shim Na-yeon, who directed 'The Host', which won the Best Drama Drama Award at the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards, and writer Bae Se-young, who was recognized for her sensuous writing skills through films such as 'Life is Beautiful ', 'Extreme Job', and 'The Perfect Stranger', are in high spirits. They agreed. Expectations are higher than ever for this touching healing drama that will be completed with a delicate and warm perspective. Above all, the meeting of Ra Mi-ran, Lee Do-hyun, and Ahn Eun-jin makes drama fans even more excited.
Ra Mi-ran played the role of Young-sun, a bad mother who stubbornly lived to protect her child. Young-sun, who ran a pig farm and raised her son alone, considered herself a bad mother to avoid passing on the pain. Ra Mi-ran plans to depict the changes in Yeong-sun, who becomes harsher the more her heart hurts and becomes even harsher when she feels sorry. Expectations are high on how Ra Mi-ran, an 'acting master' who can master any genre and role with her own style, will portray Young-soon's special maternal love.
Ra Mi-ran said, “Good actors and staff are coming together and working hard to create a work. “It is a warm drama with both laughter and emotion,” he said. “I think it will be a complete work.” “I hope viewers will also look forward to it,” he said.
Lee Do-hyun plays Kang-ho, the son of a prosecutor who turns into a child in an unexpected accident. Kang-ho, who had no choice but to let his mother's plans become his own life, became a cold-blooded prosecutor with his own secret. While ignoring his mother and running solely for success, an unexpected accident causes him to become a child and start a new life with his bad mother. Lee Do-hyun, who recently demonstrated his true worth as a trustworthy actor in 'The Glory', leads the play by going back and forth between the cold-blooded prosecutor who has no blood or tears and Kang-ho, who has become a child. This is why the unprecedented transformation that only Lee Do-hyun can achieve is expected.
Lee Do-hyun said, “I am happy and excited to be able to work on a good work with good people. “There are many difficult moments, but thanks to the actors, director, and writer who are with me, I think it will be a more interesting challenge than fear,” he said. “I will work hard to make sure I don't become someone else, so please watch.”
Mi-joo, Kang-ho's old friend and only refuge, is played by Ahn Eun-jin. Deep inside, Mi-joo is a confident person who cannot tolerate injustice. He returned to his hometown penniless, having burned down all his love and honor, and was transformed when he reunited with his child, Kang-ho. It is expected that the true value of Ahn Eun-jin, who has received absolute trust from the public with her solid acting skills and personality, has shone once again.
Eunjin Ahn said, “The script was really fun. Watching Miju live her life confidently and brightly despite hardships and adversity, I really wanted to participate. “I'm excited to see you in 'Bad Mom,'” he said. “I was also looking forward to working with director Shim Na-yeon. Thanks to many seniors, I am having fun filming in a fun location. He added, “Please show a lot of interest and love.”
'Bad Mom' will be broadcast in the first half of 2023.
