After the success of My One and Only One weekend drama with UEE and Choi Soo Jung, the TV station has prepared another 50-episodes heart wrenching family drama Mother of Mine but it has another meaning in Korean 세상에서 제일 예쁜 내 딸- which literally means My World's Prettiest Daughter. Mother of Mine has A-List actors starring Kim Hae Sook, Choi Myung Gil, Park Jung Soo, Kim So Yeon, Hong Jong Hyun, Yoo Sun, Kim Ha Kyung, Ki Tae Young and Han Ki Woong.
Widow mother Park Sun Ja (Kim Hae Sook) works hard day and night bringing up 3 lovely daughters- Mi Sun (Yoo Sun), Mi Ri (Kim So Yeon) and Mi Hye (Kim Ha Kyung). Among three, Mi Ri is the most intelligent and works as the youngest GM Marketing in Hansung Group.
Mi Sun is married with a daughter Da Bin living with her useless husband Jin Soo under the grip of the meanest mother in law on earth (Ha Mi Ok). Mi Hye inspires to be a novelist but she has no talent until she meets Chief Editor Kim Woo Jin (Ki Tae Young)
Mi Ri is actually adopted into the Kang family when her biological mother Jeon In Sook (Choi Myung Gil) left her and married into a rich family. In Sook brings up the naive and obedient Han Tae Ju (Hong Jong Hyun) grooming him to become the next Chairman of Hansung Group. Often Mi Ri and Tae Ju have misunderstandings at work but he was very patient with the hot tempered Mi Ri. Mi Ri hates In Sook who is now the new CEO of the group who doesn't recognise her own daughter. Old Chairman Han is still well alive and dislikes In Sook but grits his teeth for the sake of his late son and Tae Ju.
I do have a love-hate thing on this drama. Hong Jong Hyun serves as an eye-candy in this drama (main reason I wanted to watch this drama) as his pure innocent relationship with Mi Ri - which is a "noona-dongsaeng" thing will be interesting to watch further. But meantime I dislike watching the nonsense from Mi Sun and Mi Hye's story lines. Their parts are mostly irritating where one can never understand how these two daughters can treat their mother after all she has helped them so much. And worst part why can't Ki Tae Young have a decent better hair cut- he looks awful in this drama...at first glance I thought he was the older version of 2AM's Im Seulong. LOL!
And to make your blood boil further is the worst mother in law, Ha Mi Ok that Mi Sun has to put up with. What kind of mother in law demands her other side to do everything while she plays golf, lazes at home and pampers her good for nothing mama boy's son? Grrr...
However it's something to watch when you have nothing else to do during the weekend nights so it's good to pass time with it. After all weekend dramas are mostly popular with housewives and families watching at home. He he!
