?️ “Queen Mantis” — When Justice Isn’t Black or White
Honestly, this drama is insanely good. It really makes you question — if someone commits a crime to protect the people they love… are they still a criminal? 🤔 Watching kids suffer because of adults, and the police being helpless because “the law says they’re minors,” hits differently.
But the real showstopper? Go Hyun-jung as Mantis. Her performance is absolutely chilling — she doesn’t just act the role, she becomes it. There were moments when I literally got goosebumps watching her.
Now, being honest — the music could’ve been stronger, and a few parts of the story went a little off track. It’s not something I’d rewatch, but for fans of intense crime thrillers and morally grey characters, this one is totally worth your time.
P.S.: Guys, we actually have a female criminal lead here — and honestly, it’s rare to see that in Korean dramas!
P.P.S.: I’ll never look at quiet, composed women the same way again… you never know who’s hiding their inner “Mantis.” 😅
