The early part of this comics depicts Korea's 1980s, and the latter part of this comics depicts Korea's 2000s. The episodes of Ja-doo, her family and friends bring nostalgia and memories of the past to many adult viewers in Korea. It is also showed that Korea has been influenced by cultural globalization over time in comics.[2]

On June 12, 2019, up to 31 books were published, along with a supplementary story comics titled 《Mom is Best Friend》. In early 2010, a four-episode animation called 《Hello Jadoo - Mom is Best Friend》 was aired on Tooniverse, but it was not aired on SBS. Animation has also been exported to Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, because it is popular regardless of gender or age in Korea.[2]

Special character

Kim Min-ji

  • Voice actor: Jeong Hye-ok
  • Character introduction: Ja-doo's best friend. Her nickname is cicada. She has three older brothers from my fourth cousin. She's particularly interested in her best friend, Ja-doo. In terms of animation, Min-ji was actually transferred to school when she was a sophomore, and she was confined to her home every day. So there was a rumor that she was a strange child, and Ja-doo, who found it interesting, went to her house. She was wary of Ja-doo at first, but in the end they became as close as they are now. In the original book, however, Ja-doo and her friends played in front of Min-ji's house and the beads entered the yard of Min-ji's house. Ja-doo, who was about to take out the beads, met Min-ji and became a best friend. She is now exemplary and steady in her kind and friendly character. Sometimes she's as depressed as she used to be, but she helps Ja-doo's work as her own, likes heavy metal and the smell of sewage, and hates ghost stories. A girl who is a master of painting, study and poetry.

Lee Yoon Seok

  • Voice actor: Kim Young-eun
  • Character introduction: He is the class president of Ja-doo's class, and he does a lot of mischief to Ja-doo. He often quarrels with Ja-doo, but in reality he has a crush with Ja-doo immensely. He tried to confess himself to Ja-doo, but failed due to the misunderstanding of Ja-doo. He is a rival to Seong hoon, who likes Ja-doo.

Jang Seong Hoon

  • Voice actor: Jeong Hye-won
  • Character introduction: He is a new schoolboy in Ja-doo's class, and he looks quite like a beautiful girl. He is the only son of a rich family whose butler serves. He is not very athletic, so he often rests in PE class. Although he was afraid of Ja-doo at first, he fell in love with her for her cute looks. He is now raising a snail that Ja-doo gave him.

Kim Seon Dol

  • Voice actor: Jeong Yu-mi
  • Character introduction: He is a fat boy in the Ja-doo's class who likes to eat. He has the nickname "Doldol," and his father is a capitalist, so his house is rich. In fact, he is a character modeled on the writer's husband, Jeon Ho-jin.

Lee Mi-ja

  • Voice actor: Kim Bo-yeong
  • Character introduction: As Ja-doo's homeroom teacher, she sometimes scolds Ja-doo, but is respected by children for her good personality.
