"Jealousy Incarnate" is a romance drama about the crazy love between Na Ri, Hwa Shin and Jung Won.
Na Ri and Hwa Shin work together in a broadcasting company. Na Ri always had a one sided love for Hwa Shin, only to be found out and humiliated by him every time he sees her. One day, Na Ri finds something strange in Hwa Shin's chest and thinks he may have breast cancer... this changes Hwa Shin's life forever.
The theme is something completely different, because I didn't even know it was possible for men to get breast cancer, but the drama portrayed it very well, showing all the challenges and obstacles Hwa Shin had to overcome, like shame and fear, until he reached the point of speaking openly about it to everyone, confidently accepting his condition.
Furthermore, the romance is an essential part of the drama and also the most interesting element, since Na Ri is literally in love with two people at the same time. And I'm not just saying that, she really is. She loves both Jung Won and Hwa Shin, and the biggest dilemma is choosing between them. How incredible was it that Na Ri decided to live with both of them, to find out who she likes more. HAHA'
Regarding her choice, for me, it was obvious from the start; it was always Hwa Shin. She did fall in love with Jung Won; how could anyone not fall in love with a polite, gentlemanly man who would do anything for her? But she and Hwa Shin have a history. The whole breast cancer situation brought them even closer. It was something they went through together, because without Na Ri, I don't think Hwa Shin would have been able to move on. Their romance is passionate and intense; they can't stay away from each other. The chemistry between Gong Hyo Jin and Jo Jung Suk was one of the best I've ever seen in a drama.
"I want to hold her hands, hug her, kiss her, and sleep with her." <3
The drama also has a strong focus on humor, especially between Jung Won and Hwa Shin fighting over Na Ri. The scene with the two fighting in the mud and Na Ri, in the background catching octopuses, and also when they drunk-call her, begging her to choose them, is a highlight! HAHA'
I think 2016 was the peak of kdramas. There were so many incredible productions in the same year, and now they simply can't replicate that, not in the same way: "Another Oh Hae Young," "Cheese in the Trap," "Cinderella and Four Knights," "Goblin," "Moon Lovers," "One More Happy Ending," "Uncontrollably Fond," "Descendants of the Sun," "Mirror of the Witch" and "Jealousy Incarnate".
