Drama Digest:
Since her father passed away, Chen Ru-Rong, a teacher and romance author, has had to deal with her mother, Wang Mei-Mei (Billie Wang). Her mother has moved in, and she is dating a lot—primarily married guys. Mei-Mei hasn’t come home in a day or so, and Ru-Rong believes she is missing, so she’s going to the police. Mei-Mei goes on a hike with one of those married men whose wife storms into their apartment in search of him and makes threatening statements.
The Feel-Good Part:
The cast is excellent. You almost instantly fall in love with the protagonists and their boyfriends. The acting was exceptional. When it had the potential to become dramatic and pantomime, it remained remarkably realistic. The show’s editing is extraordinarily jarring and abrupt, which can initially be unsettling and perplexing; however, it becomes clear in later episodes that editing did it this way for a reason.
The Disappointing Factor:
The performance had many excellent concepts, but concepts carried only half out. It was comparable to a writer/director who planned to do 80 episodes but could only complete 11. both negatively and positively. Both fun and draining.
In-Depth Analysis:
This may turn out to be a charming book of a 40-year-old lady who observes her mother reenter society and learn more about herself. Additionally, there may be a supporting narrative about the mother, sisters, and sisters’ relationship as they search for “the one.” Here, we most definitely see that. A dramedy with rom-com aspects, it centers on this family and how close-knit they are despite the bickering we hear them exchange with one another. The show is about filling a void, and it tells the story honestly while interspersing it with hilarious antics and emotional scenes.
Star Power:
Vicky Tseng portrays Kate Zeng, a coworker of Ru-Rong’s who is engaged but flirtatious and who comes up with the plan to use a female coworker to win the bet with Ru-mother. She entertained and engaged in her one moment and contrasted nicely with Alyssa Chia’s sad (but hilarious) Ru-Rong. Few male characters are sympathetic. Men of all ages are shown as being lecherous, disloyal, and treacherous. The most endearing character in the program is a male escort who is Mei-oldest mei’s friend’s loyal partner and is played by Wasir Chou Yung-Hsuan.
Overall Opinion:
Mom, Don’t Do That! It is about filling that void or fighting the impulse to leave it unfilled and open. Even while the histrionic attempts at humor prove to be as painful as a family gathering, as a comedy about mending scars, recalibrating relationships, and moving forward, it delivers with unabashed authenticity. The giggles begin and don’t stop. What a rarity; even the finale was good. If you want to have fun, you must watch this.
