The first episode of MBC's new Wednesday & Thursday drama, "Angry Mom" introduced a tough mom, Jo Kang-ja (Kim Hee-sun).

Jo Kang-ja is a tough restaurant owner who brings drunken patrons under control with her intense cursing words. Although she is such a tough ajumma, who cannot yield to anyone, she is just a mom to her daughter, Oh Ah-ran (Kim You-jung).

When Jo Kang-ja found out that Oh Ah-ran was a victim of violence and bullying in school, she went to see her teacher at school. The teacher recommended school transfer and Oh Ah-ran denied that she had been bullied. Under the circumstances, Jo Kang-ja went to the school district office and police, however their response was cold.

Jo Kang-ja again went to see her old friend, Park Jin-ho (Jeon Gook-hwan), who was a judge in youth justice department. She witnessed there that an assaulter in school bullying, who had regretted the wrongdoings in a trial, was back at bullying the previous victim again. Jo Kang-ja was shocked to see the victim's mother letting loose her indignation in front of the judge.

Kim Hee-sun abandoned her previous image as a glamourous star and transformed herself into an opposite image for the drama, as a mom who gets hurt by her daughter's upsetting words and distressed to find her daughter's being bullied. She also showed her action acting as a previous delinquent during her school days. Her impressive transformation has raised the expectation level on the drama.
