Not for everyone, you might like this if...

A group of mothers from a privileged neighborhood come together around their elementary children's schooling, but each of them have insecurities in their past and present lives. First and foremost, Green Mother's Club is pretty much a soap opera which has all the dramatic tropes, like false friendships, back-stabbing, stalking, drugs and murder. If you are fans of k-drama train wrecks, you would be entertained with this as the set up are quite intriguing right from the get-go. But if you're looking for a logical and realistic story, probably you would not get any emotional attachment to the characters as the series progresses.

The highlights of this story is definitely on the mothers instead of the children trying to do their best at school, which sounds similar to SKY Castle. All these mothers are deeply unhappy with themselves, and they have to address their issues in order to heal and be able to do their roles as mothers. The way show is portraying these mother are deeply humane and touching, and gave a lot of hearts to the show. The fathers are not doing much to contribute towards their children’s academic life. They are quite passive in their homes, but they're very kind-hearted. At the end, feel too ambitious to insert too many things too late, which leaves me rolling my eyes. While the script could have been better, the acting was great. From more experienced actresses in such roles as Lee Yo Won to the children, Choi Kwang Rok and his tri-lingual skills (Korean, French, English). The overall directing and editing is fine, it isn't trying to be artistic. It is presenting the characters in the story and in a really crisp way, which is good that it doesn't overpower any of the other aspects of the show.
