Unkind Women is a 2015 South Korean drama series that aired on KBS2. With a total of 24 episodes, the show tells the story of three generations of women from a family and their bonded relationships that develop over time. The lead character, Kim Hyun-Sook, is played by the legendary actress Kim Hye-ja, who is best known for her role in the movie Mother. Kim Hyun-Sook is a stubborn and headstrong woman who is known to have a difficult relationship with her two daughters, Yoon Song-Ah, played by Chae Shi-ra, and Yoon Jung-Ae, played by Do Ji-Won.

The show starts with the eldest daughter Song-Ah, who is a divorced mother with a teenage son. She works as a scriptwriter for a drama production company and is known for her talent in her field. However, she has to face discrimination and challenges from her colleagues, who are all male. Despite her success, Song-Ah is not happy with her life and feels that she has lost her drive and passion for writing.

On the other hand, the youngest daughter, Jung-Ae, is an optimistic and kind-hearted woman. She runs a successful restaurant and is loved by her customers for her delicious food and warm personality. However, she is frustrated with her relationship with her husband, who is more interested in playing golf than spending time with her.

Kim Hyun-Sook, the mother, is a retired teacher who is known for her strict personality and high expectations from her daughters. She has always been critical of her daughters and their life choices, and her relationship with them is strained. However, as the show progresses, we see how the three women learn to understand and appreciate each other’s strengths and limitations.

Aside from the main characters, the show also features Kim Hyun-Sook’s sister, Kim Ae-Ran, who is a successful interior designer, and her daughter, Kang Yoo-Na, who is a rebellious teenager struggling with her identity.

The show explores various themes, including family, love, and career. It is refreshing to see how the show portrays the struggles of the three generations of women and how they overcome obstacles in their lives. It is not your typical drama, as it avoids clichés and predictable storylines. Instead, it focuses on character development, and we see how each of the characters evolves and grows throughout the show.

One of the strengths of the show is its cast. The actors give excellent performances, especially Kim Hye-ja, who brings depth and emotion to her character. Chae Shi-ra, Do Ji-Won, and the rest of the cast also deliver strong performances, making the characters relatable and believable.

The show also captures the beauty of South Korea, as it was filmed in various locations around the country. It showcases the vibrant culture, traditions, and scenic landscapes of South Korea, giving viewers a glimpse of the country’s beauty.

In conclusion, Unkind Women is a must-watch drama for anyone who enjoys family-based dramas with strong characters, emotional depth, and excellent storytelling. It is a well-written and well-acted show that explores the complexities of family relationships and the struggles of women in modern society. Although the show has ended, it continues to resonate with viewers who appreciate shows that are more character-driven and nuanced in its approach to storytelling.

Unkind Women is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (24 episodes). The series first aired on February 25, 2015.
