When the good parts hit they hit, when the bad parts fail they fail
Queen Mantis had a lot of potential with its set up alone and i think it did fulfill at least 50-60% of that potential which is decent
I wished jeong i shin had been more of the centre character of this show compared to her son, flipping that perspective around would have made a world of a difference
I also think while the acting was good i felt like jang dong yoon/lee el were overacting in this one and i've seen what they're capable of and in some scenes here they're just right which makes me think is part direction, since it feels that the show has some scenes that are so well crafted (all the interogation scenes with ishin!) yet also has these scenes where everyone does stupid things (shall not elaborate more)
Overall worth a quick watch if you have time just for go youn jung alone
