Kimchiii Feb 15 2021 7:11 am wrong comment it is supposed to be in school 2013 hahahahahaha but guys you should watch this because this is one of the best! jisoo is so hot here

Lalaland Nov 06 2020 9:39 am We really need a new version for this drama, and also their is alot of actress who can act for the main role e.g Han Ji Hye, Jang Nara, Song Hye Kyo or Kim Joo Hyun.

Nina Oct 29 2020 9:14 am [ADDITION] How did Dong Chil end up taking care of Bok Dong? What's the real deal of Bok Dong's brother?

Nina Oct 29 2020 9:08 am Actually I'm over that phase where I used to enjoy school genre drama, so I just give this drama a chance after a long time ditching school genre drama and it was unexpectedly good! The corruption in school from the mother's POV. I was engaged towards the end although the ending was kinda dragged. Overall, it's good, it's nice to see the character development. The supporting characters are amazing as well. Where would you get a loyal friend like Gong Joo and her two workers hahaha? I feel so wrong that I was actually rooting for Kang Ja/ Bang Wool with either Bok Dong or Teacher Park. Bok Dong is really a heart stealer. Anyway Kang Ja is really pretty for someone born in 70s.

[SPOILER ALERT] There are some questionable things like who's the unexpected killer at the end, is Ah-Ran really Beom's and Kang Ja's daughter, what actually happen between Dong Chil and Kang Ja long time ago? There are too many things going on in this drama that some things are left unexplained and mystery. I lowkey hope for season 2 though.

#Uwontregretrust!! Oct 26 2020 10:17 am I was very hesitant to watch this drama, but since it kept popping up on my Netflix (and yt kdrama edits) I thought I would give it a crack. I found myself binging this within 2 days! The plot & characters were put together so well and I cried soo hard in many of the scenes. There was many important issues raised like bullying, honesty, corruption, so I honestly learnt soo much while laughing hella hard at some lighthearted funny fighting scenes :) I felt all the emotions, need to commend the actress/actors who played their roles unbelievably well (I fell in love with the 3 high school girls), you will witness wholesome character development (made me so warm to see how they've change from when saw them during the ugliest of times to the best of times). I really hope you watch this drama, youwontregretrust <333

Lora Oct 25 2020 5:19 am At first I thought it was a boring drama, until I got to episode 3 this kdrama really showed out the bully going on in school. But still it passed out message to keep on fighting for what's right . great drama ?

snarkybastard Sep 27 2020 11:40 pm Geez i am watching alice and fell inlove with kim hee sun T T and this drama is so beautiful and depressing. Im only 17 years old but my heart hurt for Jo Kang Ja... Amazing drama. 10/10

PrinceTimothy Aug 16 2020 11:51 pm I watch this drama right now after watching BackStreet Rookie and its okay to not be okay! I love and support Kim Yoo Jung <3 Will wait for September 7 for my Idol Park Bo Gum Drama : Record of Youth, ^_^

MF Jun 30 2020 6:12 am I watch this drama right after watching Do Bong Soon, and i'm sorry but i've to compared these two dramas. How can Angry Mom not as popular as SWDBS??!! That doesn't make any senses tbh. I love Angry Mom much much more than SWDBS. Also, the drama is actually much deeper than what you think it is. People that hesitate should give it a try.

AJ May 15 2019 9:04 am One of my favourite drama. To tell the truth, I have no favourite actor starring in this drama but this drama caught my attention because of its plot and massage.

jess Apr 24 2019 5:28 am One of the best k-dramas in recent years. The comment below criticises the outlandish premise of a middle-aged woman pretending to be a high school student. Personally, I am more amenable to it than I am to, say, the idea that Go A-ra is a competent judge. In any case, Angry Mom is a very coherently written drama that is optimistic yet realistic about the world we live in. I also like the way each character's true colours are slowly revealed. The writer's current show, Special Labour Inspector Jo, is fantastic too.

Bad Mar 02 2019 12:02 am Seriously these kind of drama has no logic at all. Mature woman playing a high schooler it makes no sense at all. I really like Kim Hee Sun but it's a poor and time waste drama. Please don't make this kind of dramas it's not realistic at all. Sorry for some people who enjoyed it but it's the truth. May be because of one of your fav actor or actress that you have liked watching. Even like I said Kim Hee Sun is one of my fav but I am being honest here it's a bullshit drama with no meaning at all.

Sel Oct 03 2018 1:21 pm Great drama! It has fun, sadness, love, hatred and Ji Soo.

zombie Jul 20 2018 7:03 am dumped this drama by epi 3 too much violence and hatred which we have more than enough in this crazy world all we need is love love love

Keziah Apr 24 2018 10:13 am You need to watch this drama, you will also learn more lessons in life here and It will inspire, trust me and you will not regret. It's all about love. Love for family, friends and etc. I don't want to be a spoiler and if you really want to know the beautiful story you have to watch this till the end.

Keziah Apr 24 2018 10:09 am My tears ha fall, I like the short horror scene where Yi-Gyeong appeared,...I can not help my self laugh because of teacher Do Jeong Woo. Kim Yoo Jung and Baro had good chemistry they diffinetly should have more dramas together. Ji Soo, I like her voice and he's cute. Kim Hee Sun is amazing....I can't stop looking at her. Yoo Jung makes me cry when she cries because she's so cute and beautiful and she acts so much well. I wish this k-drama will have part 2 because it's not enough for me and I need more romantic scenes of Baro and Kim Yoo Jung. Such a beautiful drama and great cast.

Yannie Apr 22 2018 10:06 pm <3

Bae MaRi Oct 27 2017 5:18 am I love this drama Jisoo he is so cute in this drama.

shin Sep 03 2017 4:23 pm trust me this drama is so amazing

K Aug 24 2017 7:28 pm I was never going to watch this drama until my friend recommended me to (especially since I love jisoo so much). But, after binge watching it for two days straight I loved it. It's dark but at the same time it can be heartwarming, there's hardly any romance but with all the things going on it's understandable.

10/10 don't judge it by the plot or poster like I did, you'll love it p.s: i need more scenes with bok dong, sang tae, & gong joo w/ her minions xD

Chocola Jun 14 2017 6:45 pm It was a nice drama...worth watching it until the end.

have a good day! Apr 08 2017 10:07 am need moreeeeeee scenes with baro and yoojung :((

Hunter Mar 26 2017 4:58 pm You have a new fan in me Ji Hyun-Woo, he is funny as, he bought some real depth to his character in this series and every time he was sad or happy it made so too. I enjoyed this series and everyone done a great job.

komali Mar 03 2017 6:12 am a great drama..i thouht to watch this bcos of kim yoo jung..and when i watch this i felt yes she never dissappoint her fans.some scenes of this drama are really shocked me. i love yoo jungs acting and the whole cast..an intresting different plot..not like a typical kdrama

nanosh Jan 22 2017 4:33 pm i stopped it at ep 4..couldn't continue

Cindy Dec 23 2016 7:59 am I usually hate a heavy and complicated drama like this but this is is so so Goood, i don't have any regret watching this!!!! My mood is like roller coaster! I totally recommend this!!! I give this 10/10

sara Dec 16 2016 1:17 pm I've never had the intention to watch this drama but came back after finishing moonlight drawn by clouds because of kim yoo jung....Yoo jung-A i will never miss any project of you

lovingit Nov 28 2016 8:12 am 10/10 to this drama. seriousness, laughter, sadness, happiness everything is in it. would be cracking out in one scene and then completely opposite. For me this drama was like finding a gem, after tremendously loving Scarlet heart Ryeo, Ice Fantasy , and moonlight drawn by clouds... Jisoo, Kim heesun, kim yojung.... and plus BAro and ji Hyunwoo....

Jiszmo Sep 16 2016 3:03 am I think this is one of the best dramas I've watched in a long time. It has a perfect blend of comedy and seriousness. Another user mentioned the noir feel to it, I agree. Another user commented on even liking the bad guys. I was the same, especially the bad kids, who by the end became good kids. Another user asked who killed Chairman Hong. I also wonder that. I was waiting for an explanation at the end but I don't feel like there ever was one. I thought maybe it would turn out to be his son. idk

Han Zie-ni Jul 26 2016 10:29 am Quite a funny drama but the storylines is touching in certain parts. In here, Kim Hee Seon as a mother is unbelievable but she was great. She really a beautiful mother and still look so young at her ages. Very match with Ji-soo, although both of them have so big gaps ages. Not bore, great entertainment drama. Love it.

TMT May 27 2016 1:51 pm Hang gong ju is a movie dealing with a serious matter subject here it is a character for laughs. Very low to try to milk publicity from such a tragic story based on real life rape victim.

On entertainment side the director blends touches of realism with some over the top acting and generic drama into it and works well for a while but i dropped it after 5 episodes once it is clear that the direction of the story is going into the generic revenge, over melodramatic storyline that i have watch too many of this kind of stuff i can't handle it anymore.

For those who like this kind of stuff 7.5/10 watchable. For those who like a little more depth to their story lines i advise look somewhere else.

CHANTEL May 09 2016 10:12 am The story and plot was amazing. This is one of my favorite dramas and it was an emotional roller coaster. I dont understand the hate for this drama. I loved all the OSTs for this drama, especially the main one by Ali. The acting was great and the the characters were interesting. I dont understand why a lot of people didnt like the dad in this drama, he was the most realistic character of the all. Also this drama made me fall in love with Ji Soo

SPOILER:

I was super sad when both the dad and the best friend dies.

Korea Mar 23 2016 4:12 pm Loved this drama but I have 2 questions. 1. What did the breaking of the eggs signify? In several episodes it showed eggs being cracked on people or objects. It was a strange theme but I'm sure the author did it on purpose to signify something. If you have an idea, please contact me on Instagram @imisskorea._o 2. Who killed Chairman Hong? I had this absurd theory that the nice teacher killed him . But I'm not sure. Again, if you know the answer, please DM me @imisskorea._o in Instagram.

KC Mar 18 2016 8:57 am I don't like the story like this. The corruption thing is kind of boring. They put a lot of focus on serious issues, not so many funny moments. Kim Hee-Seon and Ji Soo look good together, by the way.

Ara Mar 04 2016 11:00 pm First was kind of boring but next after was really great! btw Jisoo so cute in there!

alan Feb 15 2016 1:34 pm This drama may look boring by reading at the subject matter..but is a really gripping one..and with one of the most complete and satisfactory endings

Léa Feb 13 2016 4:26 pm Great drama, I was surprised at how good it is as I didn't epect much of it. Great casting, I even liked the vilains. I didn't especially like Kim Tae-Hoon before but I appreciated him in here, Kim Hee Seon was as beautiful as always, she's so good at playing a mother. Kim Yoo Jung has grown a lot, she's so young yet so good, she'll probably even get better. It was good too see Lee Hyun Woo as a supporting actor, Kim Hee Won was the best for me. Of course i liked the younger cast, well I liked every character and every actor.

It's hard to be eloquent when writing in another language but what I have to say is that this drama is a real gem. I've been watching dramas for years and was really not expecting anything from it besides "fluffy" moments and hilarious/ridiculous moments but I was wrong, this drama is not only a romcom (romance is not the point here) it was very well done. I don't regret watching it. It was like watching these koreans movies that start funny yet make you cry rivers and rivers.

You should watch it.

P.S.: Some people didn't like the ost but I really appreciated them.

Effervescence Feb 01 2016 10:56 pm Wow what a drama! It started as a simple school-cyber bullying but it was bigger than that. Great acting from the cast, the OST captures the noir/mafia ambiance. Scenes can be playful, fun to gritty. The pacing has been done well too. It's not predictable and viewers are sucked in and wonder what will happen next. We can also see various character development and characters will slowly grow in you. Shame it's so underrated. Highly recommended and deserves a re-watch in tje near future.

halah Jan 31 2016 3:57 pm what is the name of the two actors that fallowed Han Gong-Joo ?

kamila gwizdala Jan 30 2016 1:19 pm waa i just finished watching this show. This show is so amazing that i can't really describe how good it was. All the characters and the plot are well picked and written . The OST is very pretty too. But the story of love between the mom and the daughter is so powerful, lol i laugh a lot watching this show, the mom is a mazing in every single way. And Ko Bok-Dong (ji-soo) character was so good i mean his acting is really outstanding he caught my eye the minute I first saw him in the drama . And Han Gong-Joo (ko su-hee) her character as a mom and best friend was really good too i love the character lol wearing disney princess outfits all the time and acting like a gangster mom. omg i really enjoyed her character. And the main character Jo Gang-Ja / Jo Bang-Wool (Kim Hee-Seon) was very touching and very well acted , i love that the mom will fight no matter how hard the situation gets, also she knew very well how to act like a high schooler so that made the drama even better. The only character i felt bad for was Hong Sang-Tae (Baro) his character was well played but very misunderstood i mean I think that he changed very drastically from mean to nice , but the fact that he thought he could order anyone around and the look to high to him self made him look like a total jerk until the last episodes. (Note: I'm criticizing only the character no the actor , the actor made a very good job, i just think the character of the guy should not be a show off and a little more reserve ) But in my opinion this drama surprised me a lot it was way better than i expected definitely i give this drama a 10 or 9 /10. (PS: i think almost all of us expected after watching this drama that Jo Gang-Ja / Jo Bang-Wool (Kim Hee-Seon) & Ko Bok-Dong (ji-soo) would of have ended up together even tho their age of difference.^.^ <3 )

Panda Jan 26 2016 1:41 pm Great acting from the cast. 3-in-1(drama, action, comedy). I disagree that the OST is bad. It captures the organized crime, mafia like atmosphere. Well not everyone appreciates jazz so I guess that's why they don't like it.

Cinderella_Green Jan 23 2016 4:14 pm This drama started out sooooooo good but as with most kdramas, I liked it less nearer the end.

Was not a fan of the OST as well.

Mikey Jan 09 2016 10:47 pm Sad this got avg ratings. This drama was really good. The story is interesting and fast paced. It is the perfect mix of action, comedy, drama; with a pinch of romance. I applaud the writer for being very prepared. The story didn't lose steam or become repetitive. They had enough content to constantly provide viewers with new material each episode. There were only a few minor negatives. The Ost is different but I wasn't fond of it. In the final episodes there are a few scenes where the actions of the characters make no sense if it were real life situations, but hey, this is a drama, not real life. Over all this is a great drama with a message. It teaches you about political corruption, and makes you appreciate your family. I recommend it to anyone thinking about watching it.

:) Dec 30 2015 7:36 pm Continued~ so the Ost was disappointing because when sad or dramatic scenes took place I would feel moved and heartbroken but then the Ost would start playing which for me ruined the entire mood, still love the drama though and it wasn't all about love which was refreshing after watching so many love dramas

:) Dec 30 2015 7:34 pm Id give this drama an 8/10, the story line was great and the actors were fantastic but what let the drama down in my opinion was the Ost, in a lot of the sad scenes where I would normally be moved an

아 Dec 26 2015 12:55 pm I would give this drama a 7.5/10. I was quite interested to watch it after the really positive comments but I found it a bit boring? Okay, but hear me out. I don't really know why I found it boring but I would keep checking on how many minutes more would there be remaining for an episode to end.

The plot is quite good though, it's really unique and the OST was good too. The actors were good too.. Like I mean I just wanted to hug Bok Dong. He was just that good. The drama had it's really realistic moments too.

However I was quite disappointed after reading the really positive comments. Maybe I just expected more? I don't know. The plot is original and unique but I think that it may have consisted too many events.

It was a good drama though but it wasn't life-changing or a masterpiece, in my opinion that is.

A Dec 23 2015 7:21 pm like this drama :)

Hana Dec 12 2015 7:14 pm This kdrama is full of morals..the first kdrama that was really sad i've ever watched..really loved the actors and actress...really loved the stories♥♥

Dianee Dec 12 2015 2:04 pm Love this drama although many scenes quite intense at the beginning but their acting is just so good. Kim Hee Sun as a mom and student is stunning and she is so beautiful. Hardly believe she is over 30.

rskdrama Oct 08 2015 9:52 am korean schools scare me... all the school involved drama are bribes, bullying and politics. Its so dangerous when the country produces people with so much ambition, passion and perseverance!

선희 Oct 03 2015 12:46 am I am glad I finally got to watch it. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. This made me laugh, cry and feel connected to the character played by both B1A4's Baro and Ji Soo. The cast played flawlessly even when some of them annoyed me. The OST is also amazing but I can't expect anything less from Ali. I liked that it didn't take 50 episodes to solve this big problem. It's up in my top five along side Hogoo's Love and other dramas. I'm more amazed that the story and plot was won through a competition. I think who ever wrote this needs to continue writing.

monstar Sep 19 2015 8:01 pm wow, i hesitated so long to start this drama. just the 1st episode alone is so deep. even if it tackles a relevant social issue, it's not boring. and this is saying a lot since im at a point where im having kdrama burnout. good job Angr Mom!

highly recommended. must-watch drama.

Bella Aug 26 2015 8:20 pm I have watched so many korean dramas. And I am lretty sure Angry Mom is on my top 3 besides what happens fo my family, come jang bori, empress ki, greatest love and wonderful days.

This drama is a complete package: it has deep story, so funny and all the castings are awesome. It has also a great ending and twosted story like you can not guess what would happen next.

Kim hee seon is one of the best korean actress besides ha ji won. She was so great too in the wonderul days.

It is highly recommended.

maaike Aug 26 2015 7:49 am woww i just begin to the drama and i just love it!!!! why can´t my mom doing that kind of things ;)

Sally Lee Aug 21 2015 10:42 am Wow! Kim Hee Sun is a super great actress in this drama. Wonder how she can make as a mom, high school student and admirer to young Bok-dong? Love her acting skills very much since "Faith", "Wonderful Days" n' now this drama, "Angry Mom". She is really beautiful and attractive Korean actress beside her funny characters. Love to see her more in dramas.

T-ia Aug 15 2015 5:28 pm AMAZING DRAMA,

definitely goes down on my list of BEST EVER (like masterpiece) Kdrama!!!

ending? perfect

actors? amazing, my heart melt at some scenes

it may start off a bit extreme but from ep.2, it gets sooo funny!! and try to understand the message behind the drama.

it is about so many taboo subjects but played so well !!

I seriously loved it!! as well as hello monster(another amazing one!!! ) and kill me heal me and master's sun and so many others lol.... :)

agen tangkas Aug 13 2015 10:05 am Kim hee sun my favz actress... I Love her so much

Dian Aug 07 2015 1:14 am it's seems like j-dorama 35 sai no koukousei. right? or just same theme but different plot?

FM Aug 05 2015 11:49 pm Just finished watching it... I must say it's AMAZING!!!

I confess this is my first k-drama, so I have no other k-drama to compare it against, but I must say as a TV-series in general (meaning all the US and European series I have seen throughout my life) I have rarely been drawn so much in.

Angry Mom has suspense, comedy, sadness, anger, tragedy and also some moments that will make you cry. Basically it will touch you across the spectrum of emotions.

The plot is also very interesting and suspenseful. While the premise might sound like the one for an easy comedy, the plot will spiral through a crescendo of corruption, deceit, betrayal and twists.

It also touches some serious issues, like school violence, organized crime and corrupted politicians, problems that are present not only in South Korea.

If one is expecting romance, it will not find some "corny love story"... but the "power of love" does emerge from Angry Mom. The love of a mother for her child(ren) first of all, central throughout the series, but also the love between friends and even romance does come out here an there, but it is never corny or trivial.

Characters themselves develop and evolve very well. We discover more and more about the people in the drama and come to understand them better, why they behave in a certain way... and some characters that you might hate at the beginning of the series you might love at the end.

The villains are evil, but not stereotypical comic book evil. No they are rich and powerful people who only desire more power and money in a quite realistic way. They do not seem to (often) resort to crude violence or killing, but use extortion, psychological violence and manipulation as well.

The acting was all done very well and all actors are very good, from the stars to the minor characters.

Perhaps one minor criticism I have is "not enough Lizzy" :P. I really loved her playing the "sassy girl", in strong contrast with her usual happy personality she has when performing as an Idol. Of course, it's more a "fanboy complaint" than anything else and I cannot really complain since she was a minor character after all. I enjoyed her acting a lot and I hope she will get one day the lead in a drama or movie.

That said I enjoyed all actors. :)

I do not know how other k-dramas are, but as first encounter, this was an explosive start.

Of course it's not perfect, although I should re-watch to really pinpoint the flaws.

I guess a 9/10... if only for the wonderful experience and enjoyment I had watching it.

Iva Jul 31 2015 6:34 am I gave it 7/10. Nothing special....

KdramaNoona Jul 21 2015 5:37 am Aigoooo anyone who hoped that BokDong would've end with GanJa? I was looking forward for that. And for some crazy reason I was hoping that the father would've end being that one instead of that one? JiSoo is now in my list off favorite actor, I'm anticipating more of him and BaRo...*sigh* I think I will need to start listening to B1A4. 8 star

Samira Jul 14 2015 4:02 am I'm from Ghana. finished watching this drama yesterday. it was so funny. i loved it. Fighting. i will one day make it to south Korea.

vangie Jul 11 2015 5:23 am Oh btw, the editors are really worthy of praise! Hwaiting!

vangie Jul 11 2015 5:15 am This is an extreme masterpiece. Lol. Great actors. Even the young ones. Go bok dong is my fav.

vangie Jul 07 2015 5:07 pm The trailers make me wanna watch it. Kim hee sun is soooooo back!!!

Malditang Bugay Jun 30 2015 8:24 pm I officially love this drama. The character development in here is just so good. Even some of the most twisted, evil characters somehow make you side with them and the hidden loyalty that some of these characters possess drives me crazy. Really funny and entertaining drama. Highly recommend it.

Aj Jun 30 2015 11:54 am Our two beloved, beautiful, and talented leads take on roles that stretch them in complex performances, aided by a gifted ensemble cast in which we have amazing supporting cast including richly lovable characters and despicably self-involved villains. In his breakout performance as a young man who evolves, Ji Soo quite simply becomes a star. It is easy to see why they all wanted to be a part of this major Korean drama series with an award-winning script that tackles multiple important themes to shock, move, and inspire. There are much-needed comic relief scenes as in the best dramas--but scenes also both heartbreaking and heartwarming, with gorgeous music and chilling sound effects. The result is darker than anticipated when begun yet brilliant and uplifting in effect, with a satisfying closure. This series is phenomenal--one of the finest in serious KDrama: Kudos to the entire production company.

마샤일 Jun 16 2015 1:20 pm ow!♥♥. What a great drama . I really enjoyed watching it . The story makes me feel that its real . The moments in this drama makes me cry alot .

I hope every one saw this drama feel happy that his parents alive cuz they are the light of our eyes. Love it alot specially oppa ji soo ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Natalia Jun 08 2015 9:49 pm wow it's true that you can't judge a drama by its ratings. Whats up with the low ratings?!?! This drama is totally a must watch. [spoiler warning] when my friend told me it was funny i was thinking that this drama was a comedy. But after watching the first episodes i figured out something so dark about this drama. Really loved kim hee sun's acting. A little bit disappointed bcs there's so little romance in this drama invovled. Was kinda hoping bang wool would end up with teacher no ah.. But bangwool also looked good wit bokdong. Haha bokdong's such a good actor! Also enjoyed lizzy's acting. Didnt know she could act that well.. I feel like the ending is a little bit too dragged. Still curious about the accounting book and whos the guy with white shoes on?? Anyway. This drama's all about a mom wanting to protect her daughter, its a very touching. The ending is also touching. I give 8 out of 10

ingukie Jun 08 2015 4:04 pm the script is refreshing, but some part of director editing can be much better. Sometimes, I think Director can give more, but then it seems lacking. It could be because of short of budget. For example, the should shoot scene building collapse to add more dramatic in the scene. It is good too the writer did not focus so much the loveline between characters- for example, addition scene of dating etc. it seriously will disturb the storyline and character development. overall rating, 8.5/10

LovinKDramas Jun 07 2015 4:00 pm Miss this drama and the cast!! I can't seem to find a drama nearly as good as this! Everything I've started I've turned off after the first ep! Loved this drama

Chris L. Jun 03 2015 10:54 pm I love this drama after know that Kim Hee Sun is starring in it. Great drama with happy ending. I want to see her more in new dramas, wish my dreams come true.

Dennisy Jun 01 2015 8:52 pm Great drama! Never feel frustrated at all. Kim Hee Sun is an amazing actress. Love her in this drama.

Grace May 22 2015 2:59 pm Almost missed this great Kdrama to watch and luckily, I didn't. I love it from the beginning until the end, so nice ending with a lot of funny and entertaining scenes. Thumb-up for all the casts here. Fall for the role of Bok Dong, he looks so hot and refresh in this drama and of course, one again, Kim Hee Sun as Kang Ja never disappointed me. I like to watch her dramas because of her beautiful looks and funny characters in almost of all her dramas that she starred in.

Mizz Diy Diy May 21 2015 3:33 am Daebak!!.. really hope there will be angry mom season 2.. Btw, i love Go Bok Dong.. How i wish Go Bok Dong will end up with Jo Bang Wool.. Seriously, they look great together though, there is a huge gap of age.. Kudos to all actors and actress.. my rate for this drama is 9.8/10.. Thumbs up.. :D

DramaLuvr May 21 2015 3:04 am This is one of my favourite dramas ever! I'm a huge Kim Yoo-jung fan and I loved Kim Hee-sun in Faith, but they really excelled in this drama. The storyline was great and the acting was perfect; I was in tears one minute and laughing the next, and always on the edge of my seat to find out what happened next. Plus I really came to love Ji Soo as Bok Dong; he was alternately heartbreaking and sweet, and his scenes with Kang-ja were my favourites of the whole drama :) I don't care what anyone says, this drama is definitely one of 2015's best, and is absolutely worth a re-watch (or 2)!

mila May 17 2015 2:27 am Thank you... such a beautiful ending.. but i need Bok Dong and Bang Wool being together.. however, Ji Soo is brilliant.. great job all the team..

rosa May 14 2015 5:21 pm good drama, great storry line, and full of lesson :)

Davia May 13 2015 8:21 pm One of the best written dramas in Korean history. Korean dramas are usually very well written for emotional impact but with logic and good sense often falling by the wayside. Usually the wonderful Korean actors are what make the dramas so impactfull. Korean writers are fantastic comedy writers though and in my opinion the best I have seen. But with 'Angry Mom' we actually have the best of all worlds. This writer does due diligence in writing a credible script and also one of great importance. I am so impressed with this drama and grateful to all that participated in this. I am also impressed with Ji Hyun Woo who usually plays the romantic lead and here has done something different for the benefit of the message that this drama presents. Loved all the actors in this. Absolutely wonderful drama!!! Bravo!!!

asyuki May 13 2015 5:42 pm no wonder ratings are so low , every time there is a drama about corruption or other real problems in korea it is guaranteed that people won't watch it,

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST DRAMAs EVER

I've watched many dramas and as someone who have been watching korean and japanese dramas since 2008 i never once cried, laughed, filled with warmth at the first episode and on the top of it all of that happened in first 10 minutes, this is not some crappy cliche love story that where charachters cry for some man/woman whom they fell in love just because they're the leads nope this is about real love of a mother,sacrifice, real life hardships yet despite all of the hearbreakings this drama is beautiful , true master piece and a gem in the pile of garbage we see

this drama has a way that can make you smile and cry in the most unbleivable times, sometimes you may not be able to restrain yourself from throwing few punches to the air because of the frustration or become absolutely speecless at the cruelty of humans

i hope the writer can continue to keep up his/her good work , i definitely will be looking out for his/her next project

i'll also check out kim hee-seon's previous works she is truly amazing in here and as for kim yoo-jung she definitely lives up to her previous works as i started to this drama for her

jisoo ,lizzy,baro also were really good , kudos to all actors/actresses ,staff , directors and of course to the writer thank u for making this drama possible i wish there were more dramas like this one and healer and what happens to my family :) these 3 are really inspiring dramas

Han In May 13 2015 5:00 am loved it ... enjoyed it .. will miss u bok dongaa <3

han May 12 2015 3:18 am this drama was awesome Kim You-Jung and Ji Soo are two young actors to look out for and kim hee sun is awesome

han May 12 2015 3:16 am this drama was awesome Kim You-Jung and Ji Soo are two young actors to look out for

kristurf May 10 2015 5:18 pm literally the best drama i have ever watched

mawja;3 May 09 2015 8:09 am although I love Kim Hee-Seon but I wished if Kim Yeo Jin was the angry mom it will be really funny and in-place of our lovely Ji Hyun-Woo oppa >>if it was Kang Ha Neul oppa it will be completly amazing .. the scrip is really interesting but the acting is kind of boring sometimes I enjoyed this drama and it was really heart touching and Ko Bok-Dong my favourite :3

wish if I was the director of this drama I want to change a lot of things starting from the hair style of Hee-Seon onni

deniz May 09 2015 7:39 am Realy realy most touching and inspiring drama I watched ever... I feel that will be another season... but realy I enjoy every moment in watching this drama... many massages and lessons we can take it... realy the words couldn't describe the drama ' s glamor... it is such an immortal masterpiece and outstanding drama... wish will win many awards.

krishun May 08 2015 11:24 pm very nice drama.. best story.. it was very touching.. and very inspiring, how moms fight for their kids... bravo!

Jellison May 08 2015 8:58 pm Just finished watching this drama... incredible!! Awesome drama, recommend it to all who like school based dramas. :) Love Ji soo <3

ilikepandas May 08 2015 4:58 pm Each episode is getting better and more intense! In the beginning I couldn't decide wether this is comedy or drama or what. One second you cry and the other you laugh... The acting is just great <3 This drama doesn't just focus on like love, love, heartbroken and love :D Nevertheless there are some cute scenes ^_^ great story, development, script, actors

girlinpinks May 08 2015 11:45 am HEOL!!! look at the rating, that happened just because they didnt have 'super idol' that acted here psml It has a great storyline, actors and actresses with great act and yet they cant make it Can not more agree to @playsone; i mean put a super idol and the rating is all yours and btw, jisoo stole the fame He played well from a school thug to a heart thug

freedom May 08 2015 8:52 am @Nancyy its called Teleport me by Aberdeen Orange.

Nancyy May 08 2015 7:39 am Can someone pls tell me the song in angry mom, it goes sth like 'ive got that candy for you'~~

Vami May 08 2015 6:49 am Honestly, this is such a brilliant drama. Bok Dong had me both crying and laughing, the director does a great job at dealing with such heavy themes while also blending in some humor every now and then. it's been a while since i've loved a drama this much, the ratings do not do this show justice!!! Great cast, GREAT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, great story line and each episode is better than the last! highly recommend

Faye May 08 2015 3:39 am I don't believe rating anymore. Seriously, this drama is one of the best dramas in 2015! It gonna be my fav after KMHM!!! It's soooo funny, sad, and also make you mad. Angry Mom is LOVE!!!!! Highly recommended. You guys will regret if you miss this amazing drama~

ch jnr May 08 2015 1:43 am its just like healers ratings which were low...and was a hit internationally...the taste of international and korean audiences are different...some of the other dramas i liked didnt have good rating in korea but internationally they were hit...vidya from india

hxanime May 08 2015 1:19 am @Chi He recently was in Blood as the 2nd researcher for the "bad" vampire

Chi May 07 2015 9:54 pm Who is Prosecutor Jung? I know hime from somewhere, I just can't think of where. Ahhhhhh!!!!!

sri May 07 2015 9:42 pm Why this drama had very low ratings?this drama is one of the best drama.the plot is so nice..all are good to their roles.....i wish this drama to have more episodes.

Yeay May 07 2015 8:39 am Why rating dropped each episode is getting better and better..story is intersting not draggy like typical kdrama Maybe rating so low because Korean people taste not for the story anymore maybe for an idol so yes its hard to get high rating right now in korea just hope Kdrama shine again Please I dontwant korean drama end because the rating its suck -__-..anyway angry mom fighting hopefuly last episod happyending(":

m May 07 2015 3:08 am am i the only one who ship Jo Kang Ja and Ahn Dong Chil? hahaha :D

M May 06 2015 1:57 pm I totally agree with you @Playsone. Loving this drama.. will love it till the end :)

Aliyah May 06 2015 12:14 pm WHY did the father have to die?! Why - Far too many words left unsaid, but can be felt in that one particular scene. It was very powerful yet short. Short yet simple. Simply but GREAT.

I'm in love with this drama, raises alot of issues in society and gives that faith (notice how i don't mention hope). YES it isn't the end of the world. It never was and never is. Jerks may say you aren't the only one, yet people hesitate to share or even mention, let alone utter a word.

                  I say SMILE and keep going, where there is a will there is always a way.

CoolBeans May 06 2015 9:43 am Ji Soo stole the show as the tough and kind hearted Dok Bong! Angry Mom should marry Dok Bong in 10 yrs when he is almost 30 and she is almost 30!

salma May 06 2015 9:26 am This drama is very good, why rating should be dropped? This drama is unique and not the boring !!!!!

salma May 06 2015 9:16 am this drama is the best! I really like it!!!!

Playsone May 06 2015 5:28 am the ratings tho...exo next door gains so much but I don't get storyline.On the other hand, angry mom has an interesting storyline.The only idols in this Drama is Baro(B1A4) and Lizzy (After school) , END is just 9-10 minutes but gets really high views because of the exo fanbase.Yes,dramas with famous people will get high views.After school and B1A4 are pretty much underrated which is why the drama is underrated as well.The cast are also Underrated,Kim hee Sun has been in CF's but still doesn't gain much popularity.If we put Taeyeon of Girls generation to play kim you Jung's part in the drama it will get millions of views But I don't like dramas that are popular because of idols.Let's say a lot of people are missing out on the drama and the perfect storyline,

Sheila May 04 2015 10:31 pm I guess Korean and International viewers have different preferences for what they want in a drama. I don't understand the rating drop at all. Each episode only gets better and better. The story line is unique and tackles some tough issues, yet there is also some comic relief. Yes, it is a little unrealistic for a mom to get away with being a high school student, but not impossible. I was being carded and asked what grade I was in until I was in my 30's, so it seems doable to me.

Virginia May 04 2015 7:04 pm This is a great drama..what is wrong with the rating people. I see they only watch if it's idols. So lame . I love kd and this one is one of the best.

Rebecca May 03 2015 8:13 pm This is probably, one of the best Korean dramas I have ever seen. It's so unique unlike any other stereotypical Korean drama. I usually don't watch k-dramas because there so boring, long and repetitive. Although this is an exception. WATCH IT!

kyuhan May 03 2015 7:20 pm wow thats why ji soo got injured in angry moms for a while cuz he will film a new movie called glory days...:) i im so disappointed of the viewers who did not watch this the ratings is going down . OMG the climax is better to watch and can you see that this drama is educated ..

Kayn May 03 2015 5:18 am i don't understand to people who said that this drama is full of cliche... this drama is quite predictable but not cliche or lame.. the story is good maybe because it taken from the winner of MBC scenario contest. this drama really hook me up.. im not korean but i watch kdrama since i was 4 y.o and it was like 17 years ago.. trust me, THIS IS GOOD.. from ep 1 to 4 it seems like average drama but next thing i know, i really cant get enough of this.

Haii May 02 2015 10:44 am Hello guys love this drama from cast.STORYY.cinematography.And Joke Lol this drama really funny lol they joke Im laugh so hard especialy when hang gong joo scene Hahahahaha.the one that make me little bit dissapointed is the music dont like the music i dont know why )": but the story is DAEBAK! hope happy ending(i know it will hahaha)

OutOfHere May 01 2015 11:37 pm Do yourself a favor and watch something else. I meant this is a real lemon. From the stupid who does nothing right and is bailed time after time by others to a story plot that makes no sense. It is just a series of cliches strung together to make a D-rate show.

SN May 01 2015 7:31 pm @vinita The song is 'I love you I'm sorry' by Ali

Linda May 01 2015 6:48 pm Ep.14 made me cry sooooo much!!! I feel sorry for the students that died. And the husband AWWW saddest thing I've ever witnessed in a kdrama.. The amount of power you have, will never fix the grief of those families who lost a loved one. So so so sad!!! <3

deniz May 01 2015 2:51 pm WTF!!!!! Why the rating is going down ep after ep... like "realy" it is one of the best kdramas I ever watched.. the script is great, actors are great, the hole drama is great... I wish bok dong & A ran end up together also No-A & gang ja... with this drama and it's actors will win awards because they are deserve it^^

Selidora May 01 2015 12:23 pm ~~~ SPOLIERS EP 14 ~~~ What a strong episode... really hard to watch.

@mini, I think the same. It instantly reminds me of the ferry tragedy. The greedy of the adults, and how they put themselves before innocent children who trust them, is quite related to what happened. The first time I get to see something so heavy and so graphic, and as a designer I've watched many films and series, about such a dramatic and strong subject. Please, we need to protect our children! Crap, I'm still crying... this shit happens in real life, people.

mini May 01 2015 6:01 am [ Maybe some of it might be spoiler so...]

Omaigod ep 14 made me cry a river T.T I see the similarity between annex construction and sewol ferry tragedy because as long as I know there's someone keep on telling that sewol ferry is quite old etc etc but they keep on using it and look where it leads to -> high school student's death. Meanwhile the annex construction also same like that, Kang Ja keep on insisting about the poor construction but hell yeah someone with power win it, political power i mean same like sewol. I think maybe the writer director want to make us realize something right? Or maybe the basic idea came from that. Tribute to sewol ferry disaster. This should make everyone open their eyes how their bad decision might lead to something sigh. I cant wait for next week but I dont want this drama to end omaigod T.T

Faye May 01 2015 4:18 am I love all casts, all characters, the unique plot, and also the ost! Everything is good here. I don't want to mention some characters as the specialization here cos all of them are precious! Recommended!

s1288 May 01 2015 2:35 am Cannot wait another episode,, best episode 14.... Love it... Go go bok dong...

vinita May 01 2015 1:26 am I love the Drama and all the actors,the story-line and,especially the song that is sung. Being from USA I don't know the singers or groups but I love the song about "Crying". Can you please tell me who sings that song and where I can get it. It bursts my heart every time I hear it. Really makes the Drama bleed for me... Awesome show and hate for it to end....:)

Tymy May 01 2015 12:49 am Last night ep made me cry a river (ep 14) Really want to see the ending but, at the same time, I don't want this drama to over TT.TT

Ko Bok Dong Apr 29 2015 4:48 pm I can't wait to watch other episodes. Plz make Ko Bok Dong be with kang ja

lila Apr 29 2015 10:22 am I still hope Ahn Dong Chil help Jo Bang-wol and the gang. Phew, I really upset for Ae-yeon. I hope she helped Jo Bang-wol but she just turns the world upside down

M Apr 28 2015 9:19 am Ko Bok-Dong character is amazing and Ji Soo played it so well. I love him :).

I really like his noona crush to Jo Gang-Ja ahaha.. and his acting is so good, hope he lands a lead role on a new drama :)

Eya Apr 28 2015 9:04 am my favorite character is Ko bok-dong! <3

Amalamelia Apr 27 2015 11:54 pm this drama absolutely awesome.. i really really love the storyline, not boring at all.. i hope this drama can make me want to watch until the end, happy ending and not dissapointed until last episode. love angry mom.. <3

Thea Apr 27 2015 5:10 am and the alliance should be jo bang wool, Park No-A, Oh A-Ran, Hong Sang-Tae, Ko Bok-Dong Wang Jung-Hee, Han Gong-Joo, they will form a team to take down the bad guys..... this should be the storyline.. love this drama

Thea Apr 26 2015 11:04 pm yahhh.. i like ko bok dong... the way she smell the hair of bang wool, hahha. adorable..i always wait for the upcoming episode,..i really like this drama. the casting is great and the storyline too. . it should have a high rating.. thumbs uppppp.. :)

Gwbljds Apr 26 2015 10:13 pm Love this drama and everything about BUT!! the only thing that kills it is when the OST (ALi - I love you , Im sorry) gets played at the WRONG TIME ! like thats the song that makes the whole drama emotional and they play it on a scene that doesnt go with it but OVERALL it's a daebaak drama!!

Malak Apr 26 2015 12:06 pm Ko Bok-Dong is very attractive

Nguyen Tran Apr 25 2015 4:31 pm I love Kim Hee Seon so much that I've watched almost every drama that she's acted in. Usually Korean Drama is all about Romance, and I really love it how Kim Hee Seon takes a new character of a mom. I feel like without Kim Hee Seon taking this cast, Angry Mom would be very boring. Her act is funny and cute lollll. And of course she looks gorgeous on screen as always <333333

Saja Apr 25 2015 11:41 am Bok Dong is so adorable in this drama, glad he likes Bang Wool and not Ah Ran....

LOL - Slight amendments to bokdongah ending (the earlier comment) Possible ending, Kang Ja divorced and took-in Bok Dong. 2 years later, after high school ended, Kang Ja decide to continue her studies at University and Bok Dong enters the same University and he still likes Bang Wool.... This time Bok Dong thinks he is matured enough and pursue Bang Wool... I think it'll be such a sweeetttttt ending .

hmmm, actually, come to think abt it, the writers can do Angry mom 2- at the University- I'm pretty sure the writers can think abt other problems at University- but pls make sure Bok Dong and Kang Ja are together.... pleaseeee...

bokdongah Apr 25 2015 10:34 am lol can we get this storyline : jo kangja divorced, then she's in love with bokdong, and finally they get married. hahaha bokdong became ah ran's new father :p

anney Apr 24 2015 4:59 pm i love kim ji soo in this drama. He is too cute!!! Kim hee sun is such a good actress. I wish thy got eachother but idk if thy will.

Yaya Apr 24 2015 2:38 pm I just know that BARO play as hong sang tae :D YEY!

ardini Apr 23 2015 7:48 pm love Go Bok-Dong Character... and love JiSoo acting ... :* cant wait for Finas episode

jisoo Apr 23 2015 9:04 am this drama is very great!!! i cant understand why it has low rating.. love bok dong and kang ja sooooo much! cant wait to see his facial expression when he find out the truth! (still on ep 9)

srija Apr 22 2015 9:52 pm this drama is awesome..all characters were suitable for their roles ...i'm shocked why this drama had low ratings....it should be in top 3

SELIA Apr 22 2015 12:18 pm WTF!!!! LOW RATINGS?!! I am sooooooo darn upset at this results.. this drama hsould be top 3 instead of top 20's.. shitting as idol actresses are getting better ratings than this.. tsk tsk tsk... I guess because it shows who the system really is so that's why peope don't like it that much..

SWEET Apr 22 2015 8:43 am This drama so awesome... Specialy Bok-dong and Gang-ja , love them.

Yeeling Apr 22 2015 12:05 am I can't miss this drama, it is so nice story. Bo-dong and Gang-ja are my favourite.

Selidora Apr 21 2015 8:01 pm It is great, sweet, funny, deep, thrilling!

Very good directed, cinematography, nice interpretations and very good script. There are lots of secrets I thought wouldn't be exposed until the end (or close to it) but were cleared surprisingly soon, giving the watcher new mysteries and shocking moments.

You can't get bored watching it!

As I said in a previous comment...

MBC you did it again! Good work!

ratihdwilisa Apr 21 2015 7:16 pm I like Go Bok Dong character!!!

Ari Apr 21 2015 11:16 am This is my first time commenting and it's just because this drama is really amazing and I felt in love with Jisoo he's such a good actor and can't wait to watch the rest of the drama! Angry Mom Hwaiting <3

Tiffani Apr 21 2015 2:33 am I ship kang ja and park no ah (teacher) so much lol.

Davia Apr 19 2015 9:49 pm I want to take this opportunity to express my distress for all the children who are subjected to such horrific violence.

Over 50% of parents surveyed in S Korea admitted to whipping, beating, kicking, etc. their children. Over 40% of school children have claimed that school violence is extremely severe and is happening 50% of the time in classrooms during breaks. In 2013 over 300 calls a day were being made to the call center in SK for reporting school violence and evidently it has escalated since.

I am so impressed with this writer and the production company for tackling this subject. What we see in this drama is just a drop in the ocean of violence that is beleaguering South Korea's children.

Evidently the SK government is attempting to crack down on school violence.  I hope they hold  the parents responsible in the process as well.  Bad behavior is either learnt at home or the parent does not take responsibility in helping their child understand how to love themselves and be courteous to others.

When an adult hits a child they are admitting that they don't have the intelligence to teach values to their children. Reading a few books on how to raise children instead of drinking all that soju might be a way to start. Evidently one SK liquor company started labeling their soju and beers with "No more drunken violence!".

A social structure that does not understand the inherent equality of all humans no matter what their social status is doomed to produce deep anger and hatred.

Off course this isn't a problem just in SK but SK dramas do promote drunkeness and almost every drama shows parents hitting or abusing their children to the point were I think that it propagates the idea that it's okay and normal to do so.

Marina Sila Apr 19 2015 5:06 am I hope Gang Ja and Mr Park (her teacher) get together!

Dream Huỳnh Apr 17 2015 10:09 pm OMG!!! I love this drama. It is very funny. I can't wait unitl what will happen in the next episode!!! Love you my favorite Sister-Brother couple!!! <3 Kang Ja & Go Bok Dong

Sally.Exodus Apr 08 2015 9:12 pm I absolutly love it!! But am wondering if there's going to be any relationship between kang ja and the home room teacher? What do you guys think? Don't you want a little romance b/w them.? I know bok dong is going to like her though. But still do you guys know if she and the teacher is gonna have any romance? Or want them to?

Reeves Apr 08 2015 6:23 pm I love this drama, kinda enjoyment with sense of corruptions and upper society problems. Money can everyone become guilty but can't buy happiness. Anyway, in the end, bad people always suffer. I love this beautiful actress acts as Kang Ja. She is really great actress in many dramas.

DoneWithThis Apr 08 2015 4:34 pm " So if your younger and you're upset by this show it's your fault!. GO watch cartoons. Uhh, tv shows are suppose to be exaggerated that's the point! "

America said the same things 15 years ago, "it's entertainment", look at it now. Morphed into one of the most dangerous and morally corrupt societies in the world a matter of 2 decades, only because violence invaded homes (movies, shows, games, music etc) and impacted the masses. Society matters more than "being entertained". If we could watch dramas without rape scenes before (although it was still addressed - and only the "newbies" wouldn't know this) why would it be needed now? No excuse.

DoneWithThis Apr 08 2015 4:23 pm "I read some of the comments. While I don't like seeing rape scenes, it does happen in real life, and I appreciate that this drama has the guts to portray real life situations. Okay, maybe not all of the drama is 'real life'."

People get beheaded in real life too, have intercourses with animals, molest babies, does that have a place on family shows? How many more excuses will people find?

yayayal Apr 08 2015 3:33 pm I love this drama so much especially Ko Bok Dong!!!

CEEJAY Apr 08 2015 6:44 am This drama depicts a life time education, it has it's humor...Jo-Gang who experience life in harsh way. The status of the story are far more then in between, but it can go so real in any way. A gutsy writing than all other dramas that I've ever seen. I just hope it captures a true nature of the story..and exploits the younger audience. Congratulation in breaking the barrier parents..kids..into young adults responsibilities.

  I'll enjoy watching this drama :-)

Unknown Apr 08 2015 2:19 am The only grip I have about this drama is recon flashbacks. Characters perspective change so what was the rape scene wasn't a rape scene a few episode later. It kinda turns it into a mystery drama, not what I had expected.

smie Apr 06 2015 4:36 pm The scary sound effects make this drama really unique. ..luv this drama

wajah Apr 06 2015 3:04 pm i love this drama, sometimes its so intense but it manages to make fun of some of the situations really well <3

Nerak Apr 06 2015 9:36 am Ji soo as KO BOK DONG i really love his character the bad guy thing .. i fell inlove every episode if i watch him to acg... like omg when ji soo talk to Kim yae jong as O AH RAN.. they are so good and i want ji soo fall inlove to ah ran ..he have a good acting skills and that killing me and digging me to know him more ... give him a lots of work .. he is good in acting... im supporting him and this drama too...

gado Apr 05 2015 11:28 am OK drama but the music is getting annoying and seems out of place for this kind of serious drama with no comedy.

Oreasess Apr 04 2015 9:12 pm I prefer this type of entertainment drama. Fun, action, thriller and education blend together. I admired Kim Hee Sun in this role as Angry Mom. She is a great actress, I known.

Joolie Apr 04 2015 8:34 am I read some of the comments. While I don't like seeing rape scenes, it does happen in real life, and I appreciate that this drama has the guts to portray real life situations. Okay, maybe not all of the drama is 'real life'. Like, would I dress up as a teenager and go into my kid's school? Hell no. For two reasons:

1: I would look more like a uniform cosplayer than an actual teenager

2: I wouldn't do that to my daughter, that would scar the girl for life.

But yeah. Rape does happen, unfortunately. Not all dramas are about some handsome chaebol who loves the poor girl from the wrong side of town. We need to face reality. It's not all rainbows and sunshine.

Selidora Apr 04 2015 8:10 am MBC is doing it again. Very interesting script full of mystery, secrets and heavy subjects (like bulling, child abuse, political mafia). Don't get mistaken by the plot above, it's not just a school comedy it's really intense and chilling. Very good to see by now.

hydehyde Apr 04 2015 2:51 am I really like this drama, it's so addicted.

Ginna* Apr 04 2015 1:08 am Oh, gosh! It is so truth, once you watched it, you will be addicted. The acts is so wonderful, so as all the wonderful casts.

pammo Apr 03 2015 10:08 pm Angry mom is a great drama. It is a concept -- something all viewers must deem as entertainment (with subtle themes - rape, bullying, ignorance, vengeance, repentance). To write a boring story about bullying the drama would have about 2 episodes. This drama has intertwined so many themes and relationships to add humor and imagination to the viewer. In all cultures there are elements that are good and bad. There is no reason to be swayed that this drama is "real" or an absolute reflection of all Korean schools or past educational experiences. The mom going back to school looks like she is 40ty so no one should believe that the author, director or casting intended this to be something anyone with a sane mind could believe -- we are just watching for entertainment value. Acting is good and story is good. I hope the writers aren't swayed by public opinion to deviate from his or her original script lines.

Abdoo Apr 03 2015 11:08 am it is like watching a Manga :p i do really love the concept and the story

Mrs. Annoyed Apr 03 2015 10:25 am @Donewiththis. Grow up! There's a warning that this show is for 15+ and by that age you should understand that sh*t happens in the world. So if your younger and you're upset by this show it's your fault!. GO watch cartoons. Uhh, tv shows are suppose to be exaggerated that's the point! It's to make everything more dramatic! if shows were exactly like real life. it'll be boring! IT should be common sense that this is not realistic and this is not a educational tv like sesame street, it's a drama. Obviously it's story telling. Sheesh.

comment Apr 03 2015 7:33 am Similar to 35-sai no koukousei.... Except the main isn't a mother in 35-sai no koukousei.

jme Apr 01 2015 11:24 pm Love it. My kid was being bullied once. I beat the hell out of teenagers just like I did their parents when we were kids. Needless to say no one messed with my kid again. Only thing you need to change is that this mom took down grown men in a club but has trouble with teens. I don't think so. Toughen her back up, and make the fake Mom tougher too. An angry mom with knife skills should be able to take a few of the adults out from afar, just saying...

suk2014 Apr 01 2015 10:26 pm Yeahhh...I agreed when people say this drama not actually really happen in real life. But, from my opinion, I can say that scriptwriter done awesome job. Not typically standard bullying school drama. I mean, not too cliche. Writer use element hiperbole in their writing. I mean they make bullying something very big from usual. I thinks its good for give people message that bully is not small issues.

DoneWithThis Apr 01 2015 12:05 pm I agree with "hater", when dramas tackled serious subject it was without incorporating so much disgusting scenes. Movies are an appropriate format for this, dramas are family-oriented, this should be addressed in a smarter way due to the variety of the age range of the audience. There is a way of presenting things, especially for drama format. This is the first time I'm seeing so much in so few episodes in a DRAMA (which don't have movie standards). I hate this change in Hallyu. And this bullying problem is extremely exaggerated for entertainment purposes. Bullying does happen, but the "norm" is not rape. I've lived in Korea, and life there is NOT a drama. All these chaebols should remind us to take a lot of this with a grain of salt. In the realistic world, Mama wouldn't go to school as a student and she wouldn't have a gansgter friend dressed as a princess to help her inflitrate it. She wouldn't kick @zz as she does, fly in the sky and beat men. There wouldnt be so many chaebols either. TV often times "miseducates" more than it "educates". I'm through.

Lyly Apr 01 2015 11:55 am @danniah. Agree with you. This drama is addicting. Once you start, you won't stop watching. I have watched 5 eps and want more and more and more.

danniah Apr 01 2015 11:50 am This drama is so damn crazy cool!! Up to 4 eps and the story line is so much great. Melo, comedy, action, romance, and everything.. yes you find all genre in one drama. Warning before start watching : This drama is addicting.

Rouge Mar 31 2015 5:49 pm @ hater, stop being such a *****. This drama educates the youth on serious matters, often times these things aren't brought to the public eye and many people end up making some serious mistakes that not only effect them but the people around them in a negative way. This drama is realistic because many highscooler/middleschooler do get raped, and commit suicide, if your are to childish to handle such issues and don't want to live in a the real world, i suggest you stick to watching cartoon. Give Tom and Jerry a try and live in you're fantasy world.

Sare Mar 31 2015 6:28 am This drama is super amazing. It is still a heavy one. Everybody should watch it. Just too sad that Jin Yi Gyeong died. I found it super cute how Ko Bok Dong tried to save her by warning her. I would have loved a relationship Yi Gyeong x Bok Dong. I want to see Sang Tae x Ah Ran so bad. I already ship them ♥

micamca Mar 30 2015 8:54 am OMG !!! Bok Dong is Hot !! my favorite male character in this drama ! he's awesome and his acting is WOW !! I Want him to have a loveline of Ah RAN ! <3

Sang tae <3 Ah Ran <3 Bok Dong

btw, This drama is great !! worth watching I can't wait in the next ep.

sam Mar 29 2015 11:19 pm seriously!!!! SERIOUSLY!!! i just watched all four episodes of this drama and all i want is MORE MORE MORE!!! awesome!!! KO BONG-DONG..... IS amazing!! i am surprised he is a rookie, he's awesome and so so HOT!! worth the watch. :D :D

Hana Mar 28 2015 9:04 pm My favorite character is Ko Bok-Dong!!! He is so damn fine!!

M Mar 28 2015 5:34 pm I'm surprised... This drama is worth watching....

kiel77 Mar 28 2015 6:27 am Thought that it will be a funny kind drama but it is really heavy. I like the storyline. And love park no ah character though he is superly naive... but im sure he will change

hater Mar 28 2015 4:22 am @Anon

This is not English Class Dude.. wake Up lol nobody care about your damn grammatical error

Anon Mar 27 2015 11:47 pm @Hater: You're name says it all. And your "stereotypical" bad grammer as well as spelling is really spoiling it for you. Why spend your time supposedly warning other people not to watch what you don't like? Seriously, pick another drama worth watching and stop ruining it for the rest of the viewers who actually enjoy this. Remember: drama isn't drama without damage need to be repaired. #lol#ytheh8!1!!!

Aida Mar 27 2015 10:15 pm Definitely this drama is heartbreaking where not only educational institutional issues and political issues within are the topics but also how this affect our society as a whole.Great script and acting. Love it!

Hater Mar 27 2015 12:28 pm Nina@ I am personally n some people watching drama to decrease our tension in Life i am sick of this kind of drama.. so guys will exactly find sick relationship between bullied student ( Jin Yi-Gyeong ) n this guy ( Do Jung-Woo ) n Jin Yi-Gyeong end up died. for me too many moral moral corruption and damages in this drama.. n you guys can find by watching 1234 episode in this drama...

there are much more drama that worth to watch. believe me lol....

Nina Mar 27 2015 9:24 am @hater: You obviously can't handle heavy stuff... the warning is helpful but don't ward off others from watching, because many many people will definitely love this drama.

hater Mar 27 2015 7:53 am but still love Kim Hee-Seon

hater Mar 27 2015 7:46 am this drama is sick.... never watch it.. it's about raping n bullying uneducated storyline .....WTH

Nia Mar 27 2015 2:43 am Can anyone please tell me whether Go Bok Dong is Lee JiSu from BTL or not?thanks a lot ^^

alfalya Mar 26 2015 4:50 pm go bok dong is kind of cute:3 he looks like taeyang. anyway this drama has a great starter!!

krystal Mar 26 2015 4:39 pm This drama is surprisingly good so far. If ur a impatient person, I say skip first episode and go to the 2nd one. IT's really good so far, i hope it keeps up.

kdramaadict Mar 25 2015 2:44 pm Ji Hyun Woo is to die from cutiness overload here!!! He is as cute as Kang MinHyuk (from CNBLUE) and Lee KwangSoo(from Running man) reunite!!! Too bad that that awesome badass angry mom is already married with that no-personality husband of hers...ugh...Because an awesome romance between cutie-pie teacher and passionate angry mom would have been so exciting!!!

howiee Mar 23 2015 9:52 pm omo!! i love this drama so much. i jist finished ep 2! and i cant wait for the next episode. there are just things that i am confused because some subs are missing. but it was good. i love it. the actor and actress are so good. and ko bok dong is getting on my nerves lol, he is a very effective actor, i want to slap him lol,he was so good. xD lol

alex Mar 23 2015 1:40 pm Kim hee seon is beautiful. But they have Ji Hyun-Woo blackhole in sucking all the energy in the drama. his acting is like nerve wreck. I seriously wonder who caste this mentally retarded guy as actor?. i can't fathom him being lead.

alex Mar 23 2015 1:37 pm Ji Hyun-Woo is worst actor. How in the world he get acting role is shocking. He is one of the actor annoys me.

501501501 Mar 22 2015 6:17 am @Arang: we don't know what happen to that Yi-gyeong girl because that is a part of the mystery which will be revealed later :D

Arang Mar 22 2015 4:31 am wait, i don't quite understand the epi 1 (because some translation are missing) .. what's with the Jin Yi-Gyeong girl??? O_O and who the heck is the son/daughter of the school whatever?? someone explain me!!! but still Kim Hee Sun is so cool really cool!!

Wol Jinju Mar 11 2015 1:19 pm I'm excited for this drama because it looks adorable, fun and super kick butt! I've been looking for another comedy like this to watch and I think I've found a match. Can't wait for the show to start! FIGHTING!!!!

nat Mar 06 2015 10:48 pm Yay Lizzy's in a drama again :DDD

Swee-yee Mar 02 2015 11:24 am It must be a nice drama because Kim Hee Sun and Kim Yoo Jung are quite popular of their looks. Hope it won't disappoint me.

ashley rodil Feb 28 2015 9:34 pm hi! I'm so excited in this drama i always look at it because i know it will start on 2014. so i fell happy because it will start now on march. and i hope it will aired in Philippines. and lastly hi! Kim yoo-jung.

Grace Feb 27 2015 12:05 pm Seeing a lot of BTS and still-cuts of this drama, I am getting excited now. Hope March come faster. I love all the actors and actresses. Kim Hee Sun is superb! Love to see her again in the new drama.

HaniHani Feb 20 2015 8:42 am Please don't suck please don't I have too high expectation for this drama please please please don't suck!

Hyorin H. Feb 14 2015 1:06 pm Seems like an exciting drama because so many beautiful people acting in it. Love Kim Yoo Jung and Kim Hee Sun.

mayin Feb 11 2015 10:48 am hmmmmm, Kim Hee-Sun as a high school student, definitely watch to see how she can pull this off, fighting! Gonna be very interesting

Angeline Joo Feb 11 2015 7:26 am Kim Hee Sun, my beautiful mummy!!! Love you in this amazing drama.

Feilensia Go Feb 07 2015 11:39 pm Love all the beautiful casts in this drama, waiting for it to show.

Jayden Cruz Feb 06 2015 9:40 am Heard that Lim Hyung-Joon will be Kim Hee Seon's husband in this drama. How would Ji Hyun-Woo be attract to Kim Hee Seon as his student? It's looks like dysfunctional story. Confuse! Why must Kim Hee Seon had to act as a high school student in her daughter's school? She is the mother of Kim You-Jong, can be easily solved by complaining to school principle......aargh! I don't want to think so much, need to watch it first.

Ardhi F2 Feb 06 2015 9:26 am So many beautiful actresses act in this drama and many popular actors too. Love to watch it.

Sesha Ali Feb 05 2015 11:18 am So many young casts in this drama and again my favourite Imja, Kim Hee Sun going to star in this drama. Definitely, I give a try to watch this drama. Hope the hit one.

Nellie Feb 03 2015 1:27 pm I don't know how Kim Hee Sun is going to portray as a high school student? It might look so weird for a 38 years old woman turns into 18 years old girl. The differences of 20 years is very challenging.

Monica Lee Feb 02 2015 9:14 am Kim Hee Sun, Kim You Jung! I love both of you! Both of you are really look-alike and beautiful people. Can't wait to look forward for this drama to air. It's sounds interesting and hilarious too...

Joy Feb 01 2015 1:06 pm Can't wait all amazing characters !!

Rina Jan 29 2015 1:02 am Kim Hee Seonnnn.... can't waittt to see u in this drama... I do start being your fans when first time saw Faith The great doctor... omg you have a good chemistry with LMH as a Choi young general :) love love ittt .. :D

cornfed Jan 28 2015 9:48 am I've just read the the incredibly funny comedic actress Park Hee Jin has been added to the cast of 'Angry Mom'! Sign me up as a viewer. I'd follow that woman to any show...

jeonalya Jan 28 2015 12:12 am Wahh, this drama sounds great. Can't wait to see it.btw, I love Kim yoo jung acting so much . I start to know her when i saw her in running man as guest with top. I love her so much .

Kathy Jan 16 2015 2:59 pm Kim Hee Sun hasn't confirm to act in this drama but others links mentioned that she had taken this offer already. Why? She can be a very beautiful mother to Kim Yoo Jung because she was a beautiful child-star before.

1808 Dec 27 2014 6:32 pm can't wait!

Kim 4029 Dec 24 2014 8:50 pm OMG! Kim Hee Soen, please <3 and also awesome is the child actress Kim You Jung so happy to see these two great actress in Drama coming March.
