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.

For me it was "Damo." Very under-rated, perhaps because it's a bit controversial.

This should give her a certain amount of power over script changes in the midst of filming. I guess she doesn't want a repeat of what happened to her role after episode 15 of "Return" that was so radical that she quit the show.

Watching this drama made me understand why the current South Korean government immediately voted to impeach the president for calling for Marshall Law. And my goodness, Go Hyun-Jung was so gorgeous and already a great actress. 10/10

10/10 - As complex a drama and FL lead as I've seen to date. Go Hyun-jung's performance is a masterclass in acting the role of an anti-heroine. She elevates the performances of the two MLs. Imo they've never been better. Love that a woman whose passionate nature makes two very different men go crazy over her doesn't look like a puppy or a kitten. Some aspects of this drama, the heartless mother-in-law and the FLs desperate attempt to maintain the love of her children, make me think that Go's role was written with her in mind.

They're all on my list.

Multiple personalities plus Zhao Li Ying. Can't wait.

This is good news. It's a shame that Crystal had to suffer the consequences of another actor's comments.
