‘Bad Mother’ Lee Do-hyun’s revenge entered the second round. The audience rating also broke through the 12% range, leading to an explosive response.
The 12th episode of the JTBC Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Bad Mother’ (Director Shim Na-yeon, Screenplay Bae Se-young, Production Drama House Studio SLL Film Monster) aired on the 1st recorded an audience rating of 11.0% nationwide and 12.3% in the metropolitan area, and the same grade 1 time zone recorded above. Even in the target viewership ratings of 2049, it continued its craze by maintaining its top position in all channels with its own highest rating of 3.5%.

On this day, in ‘Bad Mother’, Kang-ho (Lee Do-hyun) regained his memory and a new curtain was opened. Mi-joo (played by Eun-jin Ahn) began an unpredictable collaboration with Sam-shik (played by In-soo Yoo). The two anticipated an exciting development as they went to find Ha-yeong (Hong Bira), Kang-ho’s ex-fiancée who had been in an accident.
Sam-shik was the next person to arrive at the scene of the fire at Happy Farm after Yeong-soon (played by Ra Mi-ran) and Kang-ho. Tae-soo (Jeong Woong-in), who had been caught in a daze, escaped from the group and came to meet Kang-ho, but heard the news and ran to him. And when he arrived, he was confronted by unknown men who were suspected of arson. Sam-sik, who was attacked by the assailant, momentarily lost consciousness, and it was only after they had left that the Jouri villagers came together one by one. Just then, Youngsoon managed to escape first and came out, announcing that Kangho was still trapped in the flames. When Mi-joo tried to jump in without even thinking about it, Sam-shik barely came to his senses and jumped in the water instead. However, after a while, Kang-ho with Samsik on his back broke through the flames.
Fortunately, no one was injured during the mishap, but the police began to determine the cause of the fire. However, Youngsoon’s reaction was unusual. Despite Sam-sik’s testimony that gasoline was found at the entrance of the farm and that he met suspicious people, he said that the fire started because of his own mistake, as if he was trying to hide something. Mi-joo, who heard this, asked Sam-sik the truth about the incident, and revealed to Young-soon the situation in which Kang-ho was in danger. However, Youngsoon was afraid that she would lose her son, Kang-ho, just like her husband Hae-shik (played by Jo Jin-woong). He said he would run away with Kang-ho to a far away place without calling the police. To Young-soon, who said, “I will protect our Kang-ho now,” Mi-joo conveyed her sincerity, saying that Kang-ho was able to endure it because of her mother. After hearing this, Youngsoon noticed the relationship between Kangho and Mijoo, and eventually found out that Yejin (played by Ki Soyu) and Seojin (played by Park Daon) were his children.
Meanwhile, as soon as Kang-ho woke up, he was arrested as a suspect in the murder of Soo-hyeon (Ki Eun-se). Tae-soo decided with Woo-byeok (played by Choi Moo-seong) and accused Kang-ho of being the culprit. Kang-ho, who was under investigation at the police station, remained ignorant of all questions and avoided unfavorable situations by pretending that his memories had not yet returned. That night, after returning home, Youngsoon and Kangho had a special reunion. Kangho’s greeting of “I’m back, mom” and his heartfelt tears left a deep impression. However, even for a while, Kang-ho still had things to do. In order not to be chased like his father Hae-sik and Su-hyeon, he needed evidence to catch them first. When he was ready to leave, he asked them to keep the return of their memories a secret until everything was over, and he said goodbye to the two children, Youngsoon and Miju.
Meanwhile, Mi-joo happened to see Ye-jin’s video being filmed. Among them, on the day Kang-ho’s accident happened, Ha-young was shown taking an unknown drug in a water bottle in the driver’s seat. Mi-joo shared the suspicious situation with Sam-sik and decided to try to contact him. However, no matter how long I wait in front of the house, I cannot meet Ha-young easily. In particular, Tae-soo’s housekeeper, who once sent Mi-joo back, suggested that Ha-yeong was in the hospital and that they would only meet after the presidential election, adding to the suspense. Accordingly, Sam-sik suspected that Tae-soo deliberately locked Ha-yeong out of fear that she would mess with the table before an important time. Mi-joo remembered her first meeting with Ha-yeong and went to Woosung Medical Center where she had received a medical certificate at the time.
Meanwhile, Kang-ho met an investigator (Kim Yong-jun) with whom he had been a prosecutor. Someone was to find him first in the unexpected news of Suhyeon’s death. Jo Young-jae (played by Seong Nak-kyung), the owner of the Gwangmyeong-ho and the owner of the raw fish restaurant who decided to take Su-hyeon and her child to the smuggling ship the day before Kang-ho was in an accident . After asking for a long time with the help of the researcher, Kang-ho decided to meet with Young-jae. It raises the curiosity about what happened to Suhyeon, who was running away from Taesu, and who and how caused him to die. Kang-ho, who has finally returned to his pre-accident memories and intelligence, begins to resume his unfinished revenge. Kang-ho’s second act of revenge, who vowed to return this time despite leaving the side of his beloved Young-soon and Mi-joo once again, elicited enthusiastic support.
