Hooray for all Korean ajumma or housewives - thanks to actress Yeom Jeong-ah.

In SBS TV drama "Working Mom", which airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 9:55 p.m., Yeom plays Ga-young, a tough ajumma who struggles as a working mom.

"Ga-young is a character who is forced to give up her career to look after her kids", Yeom said. "She represents many of today's working moms in Korea who have to decide between their jobs and starting a family".

The show is proving to be quite a hit. Its latest episode last Thursday attracted 18.2 percent of the viewers watching television, according to AGB Nielsen Media Research.

In the story, Ga-young unexpectedly gets pregnant and is forced to quit her job. Six years later, she goes back to work but finds it difficult to adapt to the new environment, especially with her troublemaker husband, Jae-sung (Bong Tae-gyu), who is younger than her, causing her problems at home.

New SBS drama looks at working moms

With the 2008 Beijing Olympics on the horizon, television networks are hard pressed to churn out dramas that can draw sports-hungry viewers away from the games.

SBS - who has been scoring high viewer ratings with its dramas "Iljimae" and "Gourmet" - hopes to draw audiences away from the games with their upcoming Wednesday and Thursday night comedy: "Working Mom" ("Working Mom - The Taming of the Badness Husband").

Featuring the ever-comical Bong Tae-gyu as a philandering husband, "Working Mom" may not deliver the top-notch ratings of its predecessor "Iljimae" but promises to be entertaining.

Set to start airing tomorrow night, the drama takes a look at the life of Choi Ga-young. Played by veteran actress Yeom Jeong-ah, Ga-young is a career woman who was on the fast track to the top.

That is, until she ends up pregnant with her much younger co-worker's child. Soon, she ends up unemployed and married with two children.

Being a working mother in Korea involves many responsibilities ― from taking care of the children and supporting the family to managing work ― and sometimes it just seems too much. To sympathize and give these mothers a break from all the hustle, SBS is airing its new drama "Working Mom" tonight.

Starring Yeom Jeong-ah ("A Tale of Two Sisters", 2003) as a businesswoman and mother, the drama depicts the life of Choi Ga-young. Choi, who was an attractive career woman, is now a full time mother of two boys with husband Park Jae-sung, who is two years younger. Park is played by Bong Tae-gyu ("Ssunday Seoul", 2006). She is torn between the responsibility of being a mother, wife, and herself.

This is the first drama for Yeom in four years. The actress is a real life working mom, who recently gave birth to a baby girl.

"I love looking after my daughter, but I realized that I missed working. Although I'm here at work, I miss her and somet...| More
