“The Good Bad Mother” has dropped new stills of Lee Do Hyun!

JTBC’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama “The Good Bad Mother” is a heartwarming comedy about a woman who must return to her motherly duties after her adult son becomes like a child again. Ra Mi Ran will star as the titular “good bad mother” Young Soon, a single mom who was widowed at a young age and raised her son Kang Ho by herself while running a pig farm. Lee Do Hyun will star as Kang Ho, a prominent prosecutor who has a fraught relationship with his mother—until he loses his memory in an accident and unexpectedly reverts to his seven-year-old self.

Already, viewers are highly anticipating Lee Do Hyun’s upcoming performance as Choi Kang Ho, who lived life while accepting that his mother’s plan for him is also his life as well as his given fate.

The newly released stills capture Kang Ho’s shocking transformation that makes him appear as if his soul has been swapped. The first still depicts Kang Ho’s school days during which he gave his all on his studies, saving time to study by passing on eating and sleeping. Regardless of his own personal desires, he hardened himself for his mother’s longtime dream, eventually becoming a capable and cold prosecutor.

However, despite Young Soon and Kang Ho believing that they have achieved happiness, they once again face misfortune. In the following photo, all traces of the cold and charismatic prosecutor are gone, replaced with a pure and sweet-hearted looking Kang Ho. He sits with his arms raised up in punishment with Jouri Village’s adorable twin siblings Ye Jin (Ki So You) and Seo Jin (Park Da On), making viewers wonder what accident Kang Ho faced.

Lee Do Hyun shared, “After first coming across the script, my initial thought was that I wanted to take on this challenge. It’s a very warm and healing script. I thought [this character] would be really difficult to act, and I decided to star in the drama with the mindset of taking on a challenge.”

He continued, “Under the pressure of his mother, Choi Kang Ho spitefully resolves to study hard and becomes a prosecutor. He is a figure who one day, after becoming a prosecutor without even knowing the reason why, undergoes an unfortunate accident and starts to live a new life with his mother.”

The actor stated, “The differences between his time as a prosecutor and when he becomes young are clear, but I thought a lot about how to not appear awkward. In particular, I tried to differentiate with how [Kang Ho] appears when he is with other characters.”

“The Good Bad Mother” premieres on April 26 at 10:30 p.m. KST.
