Along the way, she finds that she has more suitors than she can deal with. Ji-Hyo is very funny. She really made me laugh.<\/p>\n<p>Although the series is light and fun, it also addresses an important social issue in South Korea. Single moms there are treated horribly by everyone and feel great shame. I didn&#8217;t know this, myself, until <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/indepth\/features\/stigma-single-mother-south-korea-180226144516720.html\">I looked it up<\/a>. In the show, Noh is defiant about how she&#8217;s raised her daughter, No Ha-Nee (Um Chae-Young) alone, but she&#8217;s treated rudely by some people because of it.\u00a0 Thankfully, she does have her mom to help her out (even if she does sometimes smack her on the head).<\/p>\n<p>In one scene, her teenage daughter gets in trouble for fighting a bully. When she arrives to the school, the parents of the bully demand to speak to the girl&#8217;s father. Apparently, they have a big problem there with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gender_inequality_in_South_Korea\">gender inequality<\/a>, too. When Noh speaks up to tell them that she is both mother and father to her daughter, the bully&#8217;s dad tells her that she must be stricter with her daughter, so that people won&#8217;t know that her bad behavior comes from not having a father. Ouch!<\/p>\n<p>Most of the show, though, is about how Noh tries to become a film producer and keeps running into guys she knew growing up. Then she suddenly has four different men interested in her, after being single for a very long time. It&#8217;s worth checking out if you don&#8217;t mind reading subtitles!<\/p>\n<p>MORE INFORMATION:<\/p>\n<p>There was no press release.
