STORY -
I had started watching Angry Mom because the synopsis sounded funny - I had wanted to watch something light-hearted and short. While Angry Mom might sound like a teenage high school drama, it is so much more than that. The plot is deep and heavy but it all comes to a very satisfying ending in the end. Although I do feel the post-drama sadness, I don't think the ending could've been sweeter.
ACTING/CAST -
Kim Hee Sun played her role perfectly. I can't be more glad that she was the one who had played the main role. It didn't take long at all to grow fond of her. Her strength and love for her daughter just makes it all better - she was an amazing female lead.
In the beginning, I wasn't fond of Park No Ah's acting all; in fact, I found his character to be my least favorite among the good guys. But as the episodes progressed, he continuously improved, and he became one of my favorite characters at the end of the drama. Although his naivety may come off as frustrating in the beginning, it slowly became one of his characteristics that you will grow to love.
Go Bok Dong...I didn't think much of him in the beginning. I thought he was the typical gangster bad guy bully, but just like No Ah, he ended up becoming one of my favorites. He might be my second favorite character after Jo Kang Ja. Honestly, even though I knew it wouldn't happen, I had really wanted him to end up with that girl he had (has?) a crush on... ;u;
Han Gong Joo and her two underlings were another one of the golden characters of the show. I enjoyed watching her a lot. She was an awesome best friend and side-character, and she adds a little quirkiness when things get heavy.
Overall, the cast was spectacular. Each character was played very well.
MUSIC -
I hadn't particularly payed attention to the music since I was so focused on the drama...but the music was good and fit the scenes well.
REWATCH VALUE -
The reason why I had given a 7.5 for the rewatch value is because I hardly ever rewatch dramas. Especially if they are drama-heavy and have a long plot. However, since Angry Mom had so many moments that are worth rewatching, maybe if I have some spare time, I might rewatch a few episodes.
Overall, I would give this a 10 because I had enjoyed it so much.
