Moms

Lee Soyeon, Myeong-ok, and Yeonjeong, all mothers in their mid-fifties, have reached their breaking point. They are fed up with carrying the burdens of unsupportive partners and enduring monotonous jobs where every aspect is micromanaged, even the amount of water they can drink. Lee Soyeon, who divorced her husband after his gambling addiction led to their financial ruin, now finds herself in yet another exhausting relationship with Jongseok, a disreputable waiter. Meanwhile, Myeong-ok engages in a secret romance with a younger man, while Yeonjeong, dealing with her husband's erectile dysfunction, shows interest in a gym acquaintance. Tired of conventional relationships, these women pursue daring sexual escapades, landing them in various locales like nightclubs, motels, and sometimes unexpected altercations. In this vibrant and darkly comedic manhwa, Yeong-shin Ma challenges the typical Korean family narrative, presenting instead a candid and unvarnished portrayal of middle-aged mothers seeking fulfillment beyond the lackluster men in their lives. Despite facing unappealing jobs, partners, and financial constraints, these women boldly navigate life with a sexual energy and willingness to explore typically associated with much younger individuals.
