tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Mom Friend Son' (played by Shin Ha-eun, directed by Yoo Je-won) premiered on the 17th with anticipation and excitement. The reunion of Choi Seung-hyo (Jeong Hae-in) and Bae Seok-ryu (Jeong So-min) was turbulent from the beginning. It portrays the problematic comeback of Bae Seok-ryu, who turned Hyeneung-dong upside down, in a cheerful and lively manner.
The viewers of the first episode of 'Mom Friend Son', which captivated viewers at once, recorded an average of 5.9% to 8.9% based on households in the metropolitan area, 4.9% to 7.5% based on households nationwide, and ranked first at the same time, including cables and general service, marking a good start. tvN's target male and female 2049 viewership averaged 2.5% to 3.7% in the Seoul metropolitan area and 2.6% to 3.8% in the country, ranking first in the same time period including cable and general service.

On this day's broadcast, Na Mi-sook (Park Ji-young) and Seo Hye-sook (Jang Young-nam), the best friends and bitter rivals of the 「Sugwort Sisters」, competed with each other to show off their children. Choi Seung-hyo is a notable architect who is recognized for his skills in the architecture world, and Bae Seok-ryu is a global company talent from a prestigious university, and the two were thirsty for bragging about their son and daughter. Na Mi-sook seemed to make a wedge by handing over her daughter's wedding invitation a month away, but Bae Seok-ryu boarded a flight to Korea and made her guess about the turn of the tide.
Bae Seok-ryu headed to Hyeneung-dong, greeted by Jeong Mo-eum (Kim Ji-eun). However, he accidentally encountered and hid his younger brother Bae Dong-jin (Lee Seung-hyeop), and showed suspicious signs, saying that he did not reveal his return to Korea to surprise his family. In particular, when paramedic Jeong Mo-eum was about to receive an emergency call, he/she caught him/her with pity, saying 'disaster'. In the end, Bae Seok-ryu, who was left alone, encountered Choi Seung-hyo, who had a dark history at that time, at the place of the bathhouse with memories.
The meeting between the two, which was not exciting or welcoming even after a long time, was also 'real friend'. However, Bae Seok-ryu was in a dilemma before saying hello properly, as 「Sugwort Sisters」, Na Mi-sook, and Bae Geun-sik (Cho Han-cheol) appeared. Bae Seok-ryu hid himself in a discarded box in front of the building and asked him to keep it a secret that he met him. Although he was disappointed with Bae Seok-ryu, Choi Seung-hyo joined this hide-and-seek to cover up the danger of being caught by the Hyeneung-dong family.
But there was no eternal secret in the world. Somehow, hide-and-seek led to a game of tag on the moon night. Bae Seok-ryu confessed to Choi Seung-hyo that he had broken up his marriage, saying, `I've had a big accident.' His parents Na Mi-sook and Bae Geun-sik heard all of them. Bae Seok-ryu put Choi Seung-hyo as a shield against Na Mi-sook's swearing, nagging, and hitting green onions. In response, Seo Hye-sook stepped out to protect her son, and Bae Geun-sik stopped Na Mi-sook, and the atmosphere seemed to calm down. But Bae Seok-ryu "I quit the company, too. I'm unemployed now," he said, running away with Choi Seung-hyo after the second anger broke out.
In response to Choi Seung-hyo's brief but calm comfort, "'You made two big decisions in your life at once.'" Bae Seok-ryu pretended to be okay, but expressed his honest mind, saying, "'I think my life has overheated too much.'" Recalling his intense time in the United States, from studying abroad, getting a job, and preparing for marriage, he explained why he had courage by saying, `I just have to turn off and on.' However, it took greater courage to return to Hyereung-dong. Choi Seung-hyo stroked Bae Seok-ryu and took her to the house to appease her, and while listening to the noisy voice of her mother and daughter, she recalled Bae Seok-ryu from her childhood. Choi Seung-hyo's unknowingly leaking smile created an unknown excitement, adding to expectations for the story after the two's reunion in earnest.
From the first broadcast of "Mother and Friend's Son" gave a pleasant and warm smile, heralding the birth of a never-before-seen romance around the turbulent neighborhood. Director Yoo Je-won, who once again proved the power of healing loco craftsmen with his unique lively production, and writer Shin Ha-eun, who drew realistic characters and witty stories, showed the best synergy this time. On top of that, the actors' passion for maximizing the fun of the play with their acting chemistry and chemistry of 'Tikitaka' was outstanding.
First of all, Jung Hae-in won a passing point by fascinating viewers with her casual and exciting charm from her first romantic comedy challenge. The acting transformation that became Choi Seung-hyo itself made us look forward to the future. Jung So-min perfectly expressed Bae Seok-ryu's quirky but lovely side, while also introducing a new empathy character that represents the hearts of young people in this era. Above all, Jung Hae-in and Jung So-min led the favorable reviews with Rocco Chemistry, which turned expectations into confidence. Kim Ji-eun and Yoon Ji-on, who created a special chemistry through the first meeting between paramedic Jung Mo-eum and social media reporter Kang Dan-ho (Yoon Ji-on), also shone. And Park Ji-young, Cho Han-chul, Jang Young-nam, Lee Seung-joon, Kim Geum-soon, and Han Ye-joo of the "Hyeneung-dong Family" energized the play with their irreplaceable presence.
