Mother of Mine (2019)

Great drama if you’re PATIENT

I loved the Tae Ju/MiRi pairing and their story. When I saw the “Evil Mother in Law” tag I was confused at first because none of the elder women were that bad, I know In Soo had her issues. Then they introduced Tae Ju’s step-mom and it clicked. The actress was really pretty but I hated her guts😂 The chairman was horrible too but MiRi’s mom and In So would put the fear of god in him and I loved it😂 I honestly skipped around the first 50 or so episodes. I think the story and the characters really started to develop after the wedding in ep. 60. I was invested at that point that I mostly watched the full episodes. Mi Hye and her love interests story was nice too, they are the complete opposite of eachother but it worked. Mi Sun, Da Bin and Jinsoo became one of my favorite stories to watch once Jinsoo began to mature a little and I loved the little mischief he and Da Bin got into when he began spending more time with her. Nothing really changes with Mi Suns in laws which I didn’t expect since they are the old married couple but their scenes add a lot of relief to the intense storylines that began to occur. Last but not least I loved In Soo when the show completed. At the start you see her in one way and you wonder why Tae Ju is so kind after being raised by her but as her layers begin to unravel you see that she is loyal to her family to a fault and devoted to TaeJu and MiRi’s happiness and well being. She just had a lot of regrets but once all that weight had been lifted I loved her and you’ll notice too that how she goes about doing things has never changed. None of the elders in the show ever really changed much in the end but rather learned to let their kids live their lives and just provide support. I’d honestly give this drama an 8/10

The series starts off at a great pace and initially seem like it was going to be really good, however finishing this series has been very torturous for me. Up to episode 75 it was like watching and waiting for something to drop. To explain further we have all seen those series that have mysteries or secrets attached to the lives of its characters. There’s nothing wrong with them however I’m absolutely not a fan of drawn out reveals. It’s almost not interesting for me because I know when the reveal takes place everything shifts so I spend the entire time waiting for the turning point which I know is coming. Sadly for this series the reveal took place after 75 episodes out of 100 to and it’s still not completely revealed. The supporting cast characters were absolutely annoying. the older sister’s character was rude and inconsiderate and her husband behaved so much like a teenager that you only cringed when there were things with him in it. And I sincerely mean Cringe. his behavior was so immature that it was absolutely unrealistic for his age, it was extreme. the younger sisters character was immature as well. It sincerely seem to me that the supporting cast characters were severely immature and it teetered on the line of tantrums and spoil brats. The supporting cast of characters someone set the life out of the series not to mention it’s 100 episodes. There are almost no peaceful moments within the series. I am convinced that this drama is 90% tension, 4% romance I am 6% weirdness. If you like dramas that are packed with the drama and nothing more this might be a perfect thing for you however if you’re looking for a blend of family, drama and romance this is absolutely not it. Be warned because you can get hooked on the middle sisters storyline but the supporting cast characters almost makes it not worth it. By episode five I started to fast forward through the scenes with the younger sister, but episode 30 I was annoyed with the older sister‘s husband. These two have the emotional capacity of a teenager that was going through a life crisis. Absolutely weird and toooo much.
