That scene should be a classic in memorable Kdrama moments. Park Shin Hye shows her mastery of expressions and intonation. Delivering a delightfully evil anti-hero with a quirky type of almost-psychopathic demeanor who relishes her dispensation of justice. The character of Kang Bitna comes across as gleeful while going about her job... above and beyond mere dedication.
How Park Shin Hye goes from the quirky almost-psychopathy to utterly serious in an instant, as if a switch were thrown... displays her mastery.
The only comparable characters of where the audience loved or loved-hated the evil psychopath, is Alice from Luther. Or the stunning portrayal of Su-min played by Song Ha-yoon in "Marry My Husband".
Kang Bitna is the Tiny Tina (from Borderlands videogames - not that so-called "movie") of the Kdrama world.
So, it is a guilty pleasure to love the character of Kang Bitna, the anti-hero.
I just found out too, that some people apparantly only watch asian dramas for bigoted reasons. To not see gays…
Ah, Firefly was canceled for no good reason. Dark Matter with the Raza was canceled because Syfy Channel wanted a larger cut of the revenue streams.
Older shows like Roswell TV series and not the remake. Space: Above and Beyond (sci-fi cheese but done well). Alien Nation (the movie, TV series, and the five TV movies afterwards).
We did have quite a few good shows but, like you wrote, they ended up getting canceled for various reasons (viewership, greed, or crap writing as mentioned below).
Lets not talk about the Star Trek shows like STD which is itself like an unwanted STD.
No fights, no gun battles, no Truck-kun (I know, right!?), or greedy chaebols (what!?), or conglomerates attempting to control the country.
This show is the best show where the plot is not any of the above, but simply about a human being. A slow burn of a Kdrama that so far manages to captivate the audience. Shin Hye Sun proves once again as to just why she is the "diction fairy", while projecting her character off the screen and into the minds of the audience. Each episode dissolves the sense of time around the viewer, being an experience of immersion into the characters.
Whoah. If I go anymore fluff about how damn good this show is? Completly not being your typical Kdrama? Well, there is such as thing as overdoing it. No matter how deserving a show is.

Reality TV destroyed any semblance of originality that remained in Hollywood. It is not even Reality TV since most of the crap is staged with the "stars" being told to over-act.
Hollywood has been trying to get rid of writers and Reality TV was one way they try.
It's generally a very bad idea to make remakes, especially of very beloved shows with lots of fans.90% of the…
Ah, dubs are so bad since the vocal aspects such as word stresses and tones (intonation) are missing. Those convey non-verbal information. Which is why , subs are the best.
That would be like a remake of The Judge From Hell without Park Shin Hye's absolutely wonderful facial expressions. Her facial expressions are part of the character just as much as vocal performance is in any show.
I'm waiting to see how Dear Hyeri is finishing up. So far, so good as a mellow psychodrama.
Kang Bitna reminds me of Su-min from Marry My Husband or Alice from Luther.
Absolutely masterful portrayals.
That line is delivered in a memorable way.

Hmmm... reminds me of Jin Ki Joo's movie, "Midnight". Good movie imho.
Thank You :)

To be honest, she was fantastic in Good Partner.

Got to love Reaganomics (neoliberal capitalism).
It was effing AWFUL bile.
