I don't think she interfered in his love life because she wanted him to settle down quick. They didn't delve into it a lot in the Korean version, but one of the main reasons Seung Jo was such a cold character was because up until the age of 5 or 6, when he started school, his mother would dress him up as a daughter and treat him as a daughter and everything. When he started school obviously the kids were able to find out soon enough that he wasn't a girl but actually a boy. That mentally scarred him for a long time to come and he closed himself off from everyone else. His mother has kept this guilt since then for potentially ruining her son's life with this traumatic experience he experienced at a young age. When she saw how Oh Ha Ni began to bring out his emotions and helped him break out of that shell he made when he was a young child (in order to protect himself) she realized that Oh Ha Ni, despite her lacking daughter-in-law profile, would be a good match for her son. And knowing her son's lack of relationship skills, and worrying that they might break up before ever getting married, she interfered numerous times to push their relationship along.
Many people see this drama as fluff, but I think there is more to it. Definitely the Korean version is more fluff than required, but after watching the Taiwanese version which is much more deep, I can relate some of the stuff back to the Korean version.
Sorry, I know you have your opinion and I'm not trying to change it. But I just thought I should try and explain why some people think she
s a good mom. Yes she was annoying, and very funny, but she also helped her son at times when even he didn't know he helped. Plus it's a drama, so overbearing mother can still be funny.
