I totally agree.

I think that Shin's Project is unfortunately the type of kdrama that is loved by Koreans but overlooked by international fans. The ratings for Episode 5 are great and there's a big possibility the drama will eventually hit double digits. I hope that more international fans will discover it, the plot so far is very entertaining, the characters have excellent chemistry and the message about justice and corruption is being handled very ell.

I expected that it would focus on both. Of course the love triangle would be a key point but I had assumed it wouldn't be the whole personality for the girls.

Many victims of abuse are unable to take action against their abusers. She endured so much trauma and abuse from a young age, it's logical that she wouldn't have the courage to do anything. She was just a child when she lost her mother and she had to live with her father since there wasn't anyone else to take her in. A child would never be able to report their father and through the passage of years, she must have developed a kind of numbness towards her trauma. Many victims react like that.

As for why she didn't give a hint to the police: the series established the fact that police was pretty much incapable of protecting the victims. The series hints about the flaws in the justice system. Besides, what would the point be to report him if she couldn't prove it?

After Low Life and Extreme Job, I have become very interested in Ryu Seung Ryong's works. The plot seems to my liking so I'll tune in.

I'm surprised to see no one commenting about the little information we got about Gyeong's backstory. It seems like he has some personal reasons which made him getting involved in drug business.

And vice versa, their bickering is so entertaining 🤣

Excellent review and finally, someone who praises Jang Dong Yoon for his acting, I thought I was all alone 😭

Ogwi is one of the biggest missed opportunities in the history of kdramas

Before the series started airing, I had written a comment in which I had expressed my wish for the series to focus on the girls' friendship and individual development and not the love triangle. Based on what I've heard from other comments and posts on social media, that's not the case so I will put off this show for now. I might binge all episodes at once once it's finished or catch up before the finale if something more interesting happens.

After Episode 4, I will say that Eunsoo's friend definitely has a crush on her husband but Eunsoo's husband doesn't seem interested. I also doubt that something is going on between them.

"Did you expect a drug dealer to be nice?"

Not gonna lie, I laughed when Gyeong said that but honestly, Eun Soo needed a reality check. It's very logical that she would be naive and clueless but she hasn't realised how serious this business is and she should accept that Gyeong doesn't help her out of kindness.

Their partnership is sooo interesting to watch.

I totally get what you mean. Hopefully the rating will increase more!

That happens pretty often. Low Life was also pretty popular in Korea but it was a flop internationally. Same for Aema. Queen Mantis doesn't have a plot that could make international watchers interested (unfortunately...)

I totally get your frustation but many users (like me) do not give a rating to a show before it's finished. I'm sure that once it's finished (and if the quality remains good), the rating will go up!

I totally agree.

I agree.

Deserved indeed!

Yeah, the rating hit 8.0! So deserved, hopefully it'll increase a little bit more. I totally understand why some people have complaints regarding the main plot, I too have voiced my issues but overall, Queen Mantis was a good psychological thriller and it deserves more recognition.

I couldn't agree more with you, I also found the ending very satisfying.
