"Drawn from a notebook of day-to-day experiences of his mother, Yeong-shin Ma’s Moms candidly captures the stories of a group of Korean women in their 50s. Centered around Lee Soyeon, we learn the histories and struggles of the friends and enemies (and those in-between) surrounding her. The people and events in Soyeon’s life are often disappointing but she perseveres as a sardonic, stubborn hero who finds contentment in her imperfect relationships and life’s mundane drama."
