Angry Mom Kim Hee-sun wipes the floor with class bullies
by girlfriday
I just can’t get over how young Kim Hee-sun looks. I mean, I know she looks exactly the same as she did in the nineties, but she actually looks like a high-schooler standing next to these kids! It’s preposterous. I want whatever she’s having. Here’s a look at MBC’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama Angry Mom, about a former high school badass mom who goes undercover as a student when she discovers that her daughter is being bullied. It’s a good thing this drama premieres in a week, because I’m dying to see gangster mom Kim Hee-sun in action.
The coming-of-age comedy stars Kim Hee-sun as a foul-mouthed ajumma from Busan who’s tough as nails and has a contentious relationship with her teenage daughter Kim Yoo-jung (Secret Door). The daughter is ashamed of Mom but also too proud to admit that she’s being bullied at school, but when Mom finds out, she dons a high school uniform, enrolls in her daughter’s school, and revives the badass queen bee persona she had when she ruled her school back in the day. The classroom stills are from Mom’s reaction to seeing her daughter’s desk covered in swear words — it looks like she makes a pretty strong first impression from day one.
Ji Hyun-woo (Trot Lovers) plays their homeroom teacher, and based on the few interactions in the teaser with Kim Hee-sun the ajumma version, he’s more than intimidated by her angry string of cuss words. When she becomes his student, things ought to become delightfully confusing for both of them. Baro (God’s Gift—14 Days) co-stars as a rich bad boy in good-boy cosplay, who basically calls the shots and makes even the best fighters in school do as they’re told.
I really hope this drama’s as good as I want it to be, because there are so many things about it that I’m already excited about: mistaken identity hijinks, mother-daughter heartwarming drama, undercover ajumma sass, and high school growing pains. What’s not to love?
Angry Mom premieres next Wednesday, March 18.

I love all the actors in it and the story looks good too - a light hearted comedy after a slightly serious drama like kmhm. Plus if Kim yoo jung is in it you know its going to be an awesome drama! xD

Yay for Ji Hyun Woo looking like himself again! He looked oily and jaundiced during Trot Lovers. Maybe he needed time lose the Army bulk. Also, very much like Kim Kardashian, he should never be blonde.

MBC and KBS are on the roll right now. From mini-series to weekend dramas. From Kill Me Heal Me to Angry Mom to the upcoming Hong Sisters drama. And for KBS from Healer to the upcoming All Star cast Producer and Hello Monster(if Jang Nara signs hehe)
This drama looks....hilarious and I love it.

Does it means she will be speaking in satoori. Isn't that her previous drama also she speak satoori the beginning and netizen give such flack to her.
If she go to school, so she will be her daughter classmate. Will Baro like her? Can we get something like movie Miss Granny in this drama.
BTW, GF/JB can you write about Marie Claire Korea Music and Film Festival. I don't see it get covered anywhere. Thank you.

I'm super excited about this, but why does it feel like Kim Yoojung will be pushed to the shadows yet again? T.T
She's so good, she deserves some spotlight too, I don't want her to become a secondary character with no weight in the story other than being the turning point of the plot (aka the reason her mom goes to school).
Hope the mother-daughter relationship gets enough space in the drama, and for some storyline for the daughter too (why not a loveline?).

IKR, she keeps getting underrated. ... why do I feel like she maybe "upset" someone along the way, and this is her "punishment". Her light needs to SHINE! She is an excellent actress.

Kim Yoo-jung is 15 years old and hardly 'pushed into the shadows' considering she's one of Korea's most beloved child actresses and gets the parts to match. I predict she'll have her first true lead role in a drama or movie within the next two years, if not before that.
Her getting replaced in Secret Door wasn't a punishment so much as a decent acknowledgement of the fact that they couldn't have a middle schooler acting out a love line with a man twice her age.

Ok, yeah...except that the production crew promoted the show saying that she would stay all the way until the end, loveline or not. They made sure everyone knew, then suddenly changed their minds halfway through the show because the ratings weren't as good as they wanted.
Anyway, I'm not saying I wanted her to lead. The lead is obviously the mom in this drama and I'm more than okay with that, I love Kim Heesun. But I want her to be a significant supporting role, not a bland, poorly developed secondary character. Kim Yoojung deserves better than that.

I think everyone is just chomping at the bit for Kim Yoo Jung to take her rightful place as an A-list actress who's only meant to do leading roles. I seems like time has slowed down when it comes to Kim Yoo Jung and Kim So Hyun. Can't they age faster? lol

Okay, so I had no interest in this before but now I gotta say this looks amazing. And it sounds like it has the potential to be hilarious, even in the midst of the bullying plotline. And I really like Kim Hee Sun from what I've seen of her on variety. Will have to check this out.

I say Jang Nara would the MOST convincing as a undercover(?) high school student but then again, she would be SO convincing that it would be hard to see as Kim Yoo Jung's mom.

I guess it's a dilemma. Jang Nara as a high school student? Yup, I can see that. But Jang Nara as a mom was always going to seem far-fetched. I think Kim Hee-sun is looking good right now. She's of the right age, nevermind that she doesn't look like a high-schooler all that much (I don't think people should fault that), it'll probably be a fun watch so long as they don't add in icky lovelines.

That's actually ironic considering that Jang Nara is 18 years older than Kim Yoo-jung - exactly the right age to play a teen mom, it's just that she is freakishly baby-faced for her age. But I liked what I'm seeing of Kim Hee-sun in the role.

Watching this for Kim Yoojung! Seriously, this young lady should star in a drama where she's the lead. She's got the excellent acting chops at such a young age; it's such a waste if she's always pushed back to supporting roles or younger counterparts (ugh).
She's like Yeo Jingu though, they both can carry a show on their own....which reminds me that Yeo Jingu has his own drama now. Sighs when is Yoojung's turn? :/
Anyway, I just hope for the best in this. I bet she'll do as good as her past roles.

Yes, she's definitely one of those actress that will continue to grow! She's so versatile and I love her for it! I can't wait for Yeo Jin Gu and her to reunite!!!

Kim HeeSun may retain some degree of youthfulness but she still doesn't look like a teen or someone in her early twenties. For the sake of Kim YooJung though, I hope this is a good drama especially after being denied a good finish in Secret Door.

10-year age difference when
Kim Hee-sun played the lead/
love interest with Lee Min-ho
in "Faith," and they had such
great chemistry together?
