Admit it, you're a friend of her toxic ex-husband.

SBS should start engraving Go's Baeksang award.

Note: Mephisto hated this drama and Go Hyun-jung before the 1st episode had even aired. He came to this site to dissuade people from watching it.

I'm still thinking about this drama as well, and the scene in which Go's fury manifests in her smashing her red, designer bag and the way she pauses briefly before unleashing another wave of fury. That's the magic of Go.

Go is the queen of multi-dimensional characters. When she's in a scene I feel compelled to analyze every twitch of her eyebrows and why is she smiling like that and, etc. And I've heard that the camera people on her dramas are dedicated to capturing every move she makes. She's the best there is.

That's depressing.

And those other ratings are the ones currently influencing visitors to this site to not bother watching it.

Opinion: MDL should turn off ratings until all episodes of a drama have been made available for viewing.

Maybe those giving it low ratings will perk up if Jang Dong-yoon has some kissing scenes in later eps.

For that reason, I've begun to only rate the dramas that I've watched from start to finish and that IMO deserve a 10.

Ha! I wonder if they realize that, as a result, their opinions are useless.

Ah, now I know why the mom became a serial killer.

It's to reveal the names of the dramas that have met with your approval.

So, people watched one episode and decided to give it a low rating?

Same.

But I think that even the earlier k-dramas proved that Korean culture was extremely attractive to many viewers beyond Korea and even beyond Asia. For many Americans like me, it was just about being able to SEE Korean films and dramas. And thanks to even the earliest years of Hallyu now we can. And although the financial funding offered by Western streaming companies like Netflix has influenced some Korean production companies, I think the Korean creative teams have still managed to make even their Netflix sponsored dramas way more Korean than American. It's just that once American viewers were able to see them, it turned out that we really, really like Korean content! I hope Koreans will see that as a positive thing.

Thank you for the recommendation. It's on my list. Like many of the actresses who have entertained audiences for many years, she has a huge, loyal fan base. That's so good to see.

I didn't start watching k-dramas until about five years ago during the pandemic. K-dramas written for women by women and often directed by women were a revelation to me. And at that time, if I liked the performance of a particular actress, I'd go back and watch their earlier work. It happened with Kim Sun-ah, Jang Nara, Ha Ji-won, and Go Hyun-jung in particular. And I was often surprised to find that their earlier projects, unlike their more recent ones, although they had more episodes, were tightly written, single genre dramas, which I tend to prefer.

Then why bother coming to the Queen Mantis site? Just don't watch it. September is a great month for new k-drama releases, some of which might interest you.

Then stop insulting Go Hyun-jung's choice of projects just to be controversial. How many of them have you actually seen?
