except maybe Get well soon would be more appropriate for a person who is confirmed sick or injured. Feel better could be used even if someone is just feeling tired or sad or under the weather.

차이가 거의 없는데 'hope you feel better'는 '나아지길 바래요'라는 뜻이고 'hope you get well soon'은 '*곧* 나아지길 바래요'라는 뜻이에요.

게다가 'hope you feel better'는 'hope you get well soon'보다 더 많은 뜻을 가지고 있는 것 같아요. 'Hope you feel better'를 말하면 건강이나 기분에 대해 이야기할 수 있어요.

예 들으면 내 친구가 우울하면 'hope you feel better'라고 말해도 돼요. 그리고 내 친구가 감기가 걸리면 'hope you feel better'라고 말해도 돼요.

내 친구가 우울하면 'hope you get well soon'라고 말하면 이상할 것 같아요.

And I agree with what shellon said ^^

Well, actually one of my friends said that his mom had to get an operation in this troubled time.
And I didn’t know what to say..

In this case, which one would be better ‘I hope your mom feels better. or ‘I hope your mom gets well soon. ?

I would say "I hope your mom gets well soon" or you can say "I hope her recovery goes well".

@James_Santiago I think 'I hope your mom gets well soon' is better but there's not a big difference
