Plot

Smile Mom covers the reconciliation and love stories of 3 pairs of mothers and daughters.

Jo Bok-hee (Lee Mi-sook) is the mother of three children Shin Dal-rae (Kang Min-kyung), Shin Meo-roo (Lee Jae-hwang) and Shin So-ra (Jung Ji-ahn). For their own well being, Jo Bok-hee pushes them hard to succeed. Shin Dal-rae is a top talent and since she was a young child, she has been dragged to broadcasting companies for auditions. Because of her shy and introverted personality, Shin Dal-rae hates to be in front of the camera, but after her mother and father fought over money, Shin Dal-rae has just followed her mother's will. Shin Meo-roo is Jo Bok-hee's first son and is married to Kang Shin-young (Yoon Jung-hee). He has a bad habit of being a womanizer. Growing up under the strong will of his mother, Shin Meo-roo has also become a bit of a mama's boy. He is popular and thought to be kind, but he is not responsible and double-faced.

Park Soon-ja (Park Won-sook) is the mother of Kang Shin-young and Kang Do-young. Under her husband's patriarchal attitude, she raised her children and also took care of her parents-in-law and husband. Kang Shin-young assists her husband Shin Meo-roo, who is a politician. She even writes his draft speeches on his behalf. To promote her husband's kind image she showcases her life to the public. Older brother Kang Do-young (Seo Dong-won) is incompetent, troubled, and vain.

Yoon Min-joo (Ji Soo-won) is the mother of Bae Yeon-woo (Kim Jin-woo) and Bae Yeon-seo (Yeo Min-joo). She was dumped by her husband and raised her two kids alone. Even as a single mother she was able to become a professor. Yoon Min-joo is close friends with Jo Bok-hee. Nevertheless, because Yoon Min-joo was dumped by her husband she has gained a twisted mind. Her son Bae Yeon-woo is the society reporter for a newspaper. His character is cynical, critical and rough. Because of his father, he is indifferent to his mother, hates his family and does not want to marry. Daughter Bae Yeon-seo constantly defies her mother so there's always conflict between the two.

gollark: PHP is the enemy of mankind. PHP must be destroyed at all costs. Unless the costs involve using COBOL or something.
gollark: It's the internet. Roving bot things are automatically scanning probably every publicly routable device and trying exploits constantly (my webserver logs are filled with what looks like exploits on poorly designed PHP/CGI applications). Don't make their job easier.
gollark: <@428037846721626123> How could you possibly think that an internet-exposed anonymous FTP server was a good idea?
gollark: This does not appear funny, and would be in the wrong channel if it was.
