Sons That Never Abandon Their Mothers
Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life
Sons That Never Abandon Their Mothers.
This is a lovely Kdrama that starts with two teenagers meeting at a rural train station and planning to commit a suicide pack. However, the teenage Goo Joon Gyeom likes his suicide companion and wants the teenage girl school bullying victim Kim Cheong Ah to survive and live a full life.
The story will follow Cheong Ah and her ordinary family deal with daily life and their struggles that involves extra marital affair, betrayals, failures, painful separations, selfishness, adoption, dishonesty, corruption, love triangles, rebounding love and eventually triumphs. Eventually the audience learn how the young women in the story, Cheong Ah and her older sister, Seol Ah, learn to survive with their inner defensive mechanisms. Cheong Ah must deal with her past suicide pack that taints her career and love life. Seol Ah learns how to live to the fullest with no label as a chaebol divorcee.
We will meet Cheong Ah’s love interest, Goo Joon Hwi and his cousin Do Jin Woo. Joon Hwi intends to find the truth regarding his brother’s death (Joon Gyeom). Meanwhile, Supreme Court Justice Yoo Ra (Joon Hwi’s mother) involves in manipulating a hit-and-run incident so that an innocent teenager (Kang Shi Wol) appears to have committed the hit-and-run crime and goes to prison for ten years. Meanwhile ostentatious Chairwoman Hwa Young dislikes her daughter-in-law (Kim Seol Ah) so much that she purposely divorced Seol Ah from her temporary comatose son Jin Woo. Both Joon Hwi and Jin Woo do not wish to abandon their mothers (sisters Supreme Court Justice Hong Yoo Ra and Chairwoman Hong Hwa Young) even though both women are the cause of their sons’ misery and painful heart aches.
There are some lovey-dovey scenes that are dragging too long, however, I would give a ten out of ten for the story and performance by the actresses, Seol In Ah (Cheong Ah), Jo Yoon Hee (Seol Ah), and an extraordinary performance by actor Ok Min Suk (Do Jin Woo). I do not see any on-screen chemistry between Seol Ah and her rebounding love Moon Tae Rang (portrayed by Yoon Park), however, Tae Rang on-screen interaction with his adopted sister Moon Hae Rang (portrayed by Jo Woo Ri) is genuinely beautiful.
I enjoy watching both Seol Ah and Jin Woo with their reconciliation dialogues and their on-screen chemistry; also, when awkward Joon Hwi is with cheerful Cheong Ah, the gentle youthful love scenes on screen are rather memorable. The sincere mutual respect between two cousins, Joon Hwi and Jin Woo is worth mentioning too, it is heartwarming to watch them together as cousins discussing matters. It is a rare sight in chaebol and corporate families. The person that I am really fond of is the youngest sister, an up-and-coming tennis champion Kim Yeon Ah (portrayed by Jo Yoon Jung). She is a true catalyst in this series. When ever she is on the screen, the scene feels alive and not monotonous.
Lastly, the Original Soundtracks are beautiful as well.
