Kamgeun’s Mom – SBS TV Drama
Kamgeun’s Mom addresses point blank the prejudice and bias within Korean society against immigrants and laborers from third-world countries.

Sensing this, Kamgeun feels discouraged and unloved, and behaves as any kid his age would, covering up his pain by playing a series of nasty pranks on her. But his misbehavior only brings more trouble as the stepmother decides to send him off to Philippines for good. But something holds her back…
