On the Way to Meet Mom (Korean: 엄마 만나러 가는 길, RR: Eomma Mannareo Ganeun Gil) is a deeply moving Drama and Slice of Life manhwa. It is widely recognized for its emotional weight and its realistic, often heartbreaking portrayal of family dynamics, sacrifice, and the enduring bond between a parent and a child.

The story typically centers on a child’s journey—either literal or metaphorical—to reunite with their mother. Unlike high-fantasy or action titles, this series focuses on the "extraordinary in the ordinary," exploring the struggles of a mother working tirelessly to provide for her family and the child who grows to understand the depth of her love. It often touches on themes of poverty, social expectations, and the bittersweet nature of growing up and realizing the "humanity" and flaws of one's parents.
