I skipped this series the first time I saw it on Netflix. But with ratings soaring high for the past few weeks, I’ve decided to give this drama a try. And was it worth it!
It also set a new record for the highest ratings achieved in JTBC history. With only 14 episodes, you’ll feel that there should be more…
The Good Bad Mother (나쁜엄마) is a series starring Ra Mi-ran, Lee Do-hyun and Ahn Eun-jin. The story begins with a mom who single-handedly raised her son. Tragedy after tragedy, this drama will make you cry and at times smile and laugh.
Oh, most loving Jesus! You gave us an example of a chaste life while you were on earth; we implore you to grant us the virtue of chastity so that we may always live a chaste life in whatever state of life we have chosen. This we ask in Your Holy Name. Amen
Oh Merciful Jesus! You have said, “There will be more rejoicing in heaven for one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just who don’t need repentance”, we beseech you to grant us the grace of repentance so that we may repent of our sins and live for you alone. This we ask in Your Holy Name. Amen
Oh merciful Jesus, you had forgiven those who crucified you, we implore you to give us a forgiving heart so that we may always pardon those who hurt us in word or in deed. This we ask in Your Holy Name. Amen
Oh most loving Jesus, who has shown your love to us by dying on the cross and by giving yourself to us in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, we beseech you to share with us your love so that we may always love you with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our strength. And also so that we may love our neighbors as ourselves. This we ask you in Your Holy Name. Amen
Oh Jesus, who has said, “Learn from me because I am meek and humble of heart”, grant us the virtues of meekness and humility so that we may progress in our spiritual life, and so that our neighbor may see your image in us. We ask you this in your Holy Name. Amen
Oh, my Dear Jesus! You are our King and our God, because of Your love for us, You came down from heaven born of the Virgin Mary. My heart weeps, for in spite of Your goodness we have committed many sins. Forgive us, oh Jesus, for our sin of ingratitude in return for Your goodness. Strengthen our will to resist temptation and sin. With your grace, we will be able to fulfill our promises and share with Your glory in heaven.
Oh Holy Child Jesus, who is ever good and loving, we kneel before You our God. With humility we implore You to give us Your mercy and grant us all the favors we ask of You in this novena, so that we will enjoy the blessings of heaven. Amen

It is a complex disease that affects many women globally from the onset of their first period (menarche) through menopause, regardless of ethnic origin or social status. From a recent post of the WorldHealthOrganization dated March 2023 – there’s approximately 10% (190 million) of reproductive-age women affected worldwide.
MayoClinic explains how the disease develops. The endometrial-like tissue acts as endometrial tissue would — it thickens, breaks down and bleeds with each menstrual cycle. But because this tissue has no way to exit your body, it becomes trapped. When endometriosis involves the ovaries, cysts called endometriomas may form. Surrounding tissue can become irritated, eventually developing scar tissue and adhesions — bands of fibrous tissue that can cause pelvic tissues and organs to stick to each other. That’s how adhesion is formed.
As you may know, this is really close to my heart. I’ve been suffering from endometriosis and adenomyosis for years now. Unfortunately, last tests confirmed more adhesions and advancement to stage 4.
Like many endowarriors, I’m hopeful still… Eyeing on procedures like laparoscopy which is less invasive and can remove and break up adhesions. This is my second laparoscopic procedure though and my next plan after getting hormonal treatments. For fellow sufferers, talk to your doctor for alternative options regarding our invisibleillness. Surgery should be the last as this can also cause more adhesions according to recent studies. ❤
Coming from a medical background, this on-going Korean Drama is relatable in all levels. Now on Netflix, this new series is full of comedy & drama, depicts the sacrifices of a mother to her family. Starring Uhm Jung-hwa in the titular role, along with Kim Byung-chul, Myung Se-bin, and Min Woo-hyuk.
It has been dominating the TV rankings since its released. According to Soompi, “Doctor Cha” took No. 1 on Good Data Corporation’s weekly list of the dramas that generated the most buzz.
The acting of Uhm Jung-hwa is notable and very good indeed, her character was a full-time housewife who after 20 years decided to go back to her medical practice. A kind of drama that keeps you sane in this crazy modern world. ❤
