Are you writing a novel? First of all, not everyone cries ugly. Sometimes the role demands that tears just come without an actress having to make faces and a lot of noise. Also, based on the hundred or so c-dramas I've watched, Botox isn't necessary since makeup and lighting take care of any wrinkles an actress might have.

I agree. But maybe it has to do with giving actors (who don't "look right" for lead roles, but have "the right voice"), an opportunity to earn a living.

All of the good fight scenes given to Yang Mi? That's reason enough for me to watch it.

Reading the description, I think there's a role in it for Wang Zi-wen.

Jing Tian in another supernatural drama. That genre really suits her look and acting style. Can't wait.

Wonder who the other three FLs will be. Or maybe Li Yi Tong will play all four, which would be great.

Kim Go-eun is playing a 42-year-old woman? I'm sure she'll be great in the role, but couldn't they find a 42-year-old actress who could also play younger for scenes in which she's younger? Jang Nara for instance?

Sounds a lot like "Good Partner" with Lee Jin-wook in Jang Nara's role and Jung Chae-yeon in Nam Ji-hyun's.

I know. But I'm going to wait to buy this one on BluRay.

She's probably the most versatile Chinese actress I've seen, and that has made me a fan.

He's definitely on a roll career-wise right now.

MDL's description makes this drama irresistible. Can't wait.

Yes!

It's interesting that the producers have decided to wait for those particular actors even though scheduling IS crazy because they're so busy doing other things.

I thought SBS would never work with Go Hyun Jung again after she quit "Return" after 15 eps because the creative team decided to turn her character into a clown. Something tells me that they'd better not do that too her again in "Queen Mantis."

I knew that there had to be a good reason for Go Hyun Jung wanting out. I'll watch it, but it sounds like the "creative differences" were that she was given her character's dramatic arc when she signed on and, for some reason, they changed it so radically during filming (making her character into "a clown?) that she simply had to protest. My feeling, given her bad personal experience with a chaebol family that spent years trying to get her black-listed, is that there was some involvement on the part of her ex in the production team's decision to turn her character into a clown. She's a total pro and wouldn't quite for no reason.

She stayed with him even though she wanted to get married and he refused to marry her. And when he finally did want to marry her and had the accident that left him paralyzed, she did chicken out and lived with guilt because of it. She's a flawed character who regards herself as a cold-hearted bitch even though she constantly proves that she isn't by always coming to the rescue of the elderly ladies when they don't want to bother their own children.

Thanks. I'm glad someone understood Wan's story.

While it's true that some of her choices were crazy, I loved that the FL was the bravest member of the police squad.

Saw it. It was really the ML's show, though, wasn't it? Have you watched any of her movies? "Love So Divine" is hilarious. And "The Duelist" is gorgeous. Ha Ji-won's acting is first-rate. I think she liked co-star very much and it showed in their scenes together.
