Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kim Hae-sook is Korea's 'Nation's Mother'—this role flipped her usual sacrificial mom image into something defiant and selfish (in the best way).
The show's Korean title '고마워요, 그래요' is actually a play on her name—Go Ma-wo-yo, Geu-rae-yo essentially translates to 'Thank you, yes' but sounds like her name. Wordplay that absolutely doesn't translate.
