skip all the mother scenes if you want to truly enjoy the show. the character development between the main character is actually really good. however I cannot forget that no matter how much I hate the mom- I must admit that her role in this drama is vital for the plot . without her we wouldn't see mch grow as a person and not only that, but also how the mom and her daughter learn to properly communicate. I recommend to skip the mom's part especially in the first half of the show. don't let the controlling mother ruin the experience of the show!
