When we think of Kdrama mothers, we usually think of those evil moms, like in
Boys Over Flowers or
Secret Garden who will stop at nothing to get rid of our heroine by whatever means. We think of those moms that are just another plot device to tear the couple apart. Or we might think of the mom drama moms. The ones who throw a spanner in the works while trying to protect our protagonists, or themselves, or just make everything overly dramatic. When the drama becomes a battle between the moms or the mom and children for what is best. Like
You're the Best, Lee Soon Shin, which I watched for Jo Jung Suk who was barely in it, which isn't really about Lee Soon Shin but her mothers. Every single mother in the entire show was annoying and made me want to scream.
Moms are an important part of dramas, because moms are super important in real life. But what I love and want to celebrate now is those mothers who actually made the dramas better. Sometimes, they are the best part of the dramas, or at least so enjoyable to watch that they made it better.
