“Mom’s Friend’s Son” is a new rom-com drama about a woman named Bae Seok Ryu (Jung So Min), who tries to restart her troubled life, and her mom’s friend’s son Choi Seung Hyo (Jung Hae In), who is marked as the dark chapter in Bae Seok Ryu’s life.

The production team shared, “‘Mom’s Friend’s Son’ captures the story of love, friendship, and family amidst the backdrop of the warm neighborhood of Hyereung. Please anticipate the synergy of the actors who will complete the warm and cheerful yet turbulent neighborhood romance.”
