Bad Housewife (불량주부, Bul-lyang joo-boo) is a Korean drama series, produced and aired in 2005 by SBS.
The show revolves around the lives of Koo Soo-han (Son Chang Min) and Choi Mi-na (Shin Ae Ra), a married couple with a daughter, Song-yi (Lee Young Yoo) and their neighbors and acquaintances. The show regularly made jokes about the stereotypical themes Korean dramas usually have, for example that one of the characters contracts a terminal disease. At the end of each episode there was also a skit called Useful Tips for Everyday Life.
Famous quotes containing the words bad and/or housewife:
“It is the logic of our times,
No subject for immortal verse—
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse.”
—Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
“Here’s to the maiden of bashful fifteen;
Here’s to the widow of fifty;
Here’s to the flaunting extravagant queen;
And here’s to the housewife that’s thrifty.
Let the toast pass,—
Drink to the lass,
I’ll warrant she’ll prove an excuse for the glass.”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
