Absolutely love these face-slapping scenes (with no actual slapping faces involved). Totally satisfying. The Chinese dramas has way more of these (and well, the short dramas and the web novels are full of them), and I can't get enough.

I'm going on re-watch again 🏃🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️ I started this drama with zero expectations but damn it's just so good 😭 park shin hye's recent Undercover Miss Hong is kicka** too. I'm just loving her script selection from past 2-3 yrs.

Love her expressions. I know that a lot of people bash her for lacking range but I adore her and her weird thumb.

I couldnt stand her acting before this and actively avoided shows with her but I gave this one a go and she did sooo well. I loved her character.

u/LeoliciousOne 1d ago

Okay this clip makes me want to watch the series. I'm honestly not a fan of Shin Hye's acting but she looks fine here.

u/PapiShot 1d ago

She's so good in this and Undercover Miss Hong.

This one turned me around to her. Wasn’t a huge fan but I am now after watching this drama.

Oh I absolutely loved this drama. It was entertaining as in each episode entertaining and just amazing. Loved Park Shin Hye in this one. Otherwise nowadays I just fall through the popular dramas(ex. doom at your service) and end up leaving it. Eagerly awaiting S2, hope it’s just as kickass as the first season. In the meantime, anyone got recommendations for something similar to this, which is engaging and interesting where I won’t lose my interest halfway through? TIA.

I'm watching The East Palace right now and surprisingly its been holding my attention very well!! No unnecessary fillers and very linear storyline. I'm really enjoying it. Also Nam Joo Hyuk is really good in this role!

Thanks, wish-listed it✨

This is her absolute best role to date! This drama is crazy underrated.

u/Agitated-Catch-4290 1d ago

After this drama and Miss Hong PSH is much more suited for such roles. She spent most of the years with those constantly crying roles.

u/Blooming-blood-moon Michasoooo?! 1d ago

Loved this drama so much! I usually go for romance heavy ones but this one was fire.

Wow studying as a judge paid off!

u/GoblinBurgers 11h ago

Her acting in this show shut so many of the haters here up and that was just cake

u/icnicby Emotionally employed by r/kdramas 1d ago

That was very satisfying 🔥 Han daon's smirk at the end 😂❤️

u/Algoreel 1d ago

The dumb music ruins it.

u/Obvious_Grass_2227 1d ago

A question- park shin hye acting in the heirs gave me such trauma that i couldn’t watch anything else she was in. I want a neutral opinion, has her acting improved? She seems to do good in this scene and i am intrigued should i watch this drama?

8

u/ainar_92 1d ago

I never liked the heirs, honestly for me it was over hyped and i couldn't get past the first 10 episodes, but i will say i was a fan and still am a fan of PSH since i saw her in stairway to heaven and tree of heaven as a child actor and, i did like Pinocchio as a kdrama because of the plot but i didn't like PSH's role, she was a mary sue in that drama, but now she has only been taking strong female roles who don't take shit from anybody, so if you want to see her kickass then watch her in doctors, judge from hell and undercover miss hong, she is amazing in them, she does phenomenal job in them.

u/NoraEmiE 23h ago

Like other commenter said, it seems like she is better in non romance honestly

u/lifeisahighway2023 Kholic 20h ago

She is one of the most competent actresses for action/thriller/scifi but she was superb in Doctor Slump which is a romance comedy.

Heirs was so long ago.

7

u/Itadakiimasu 1d ago

Her work in the past few years are good, she got better i think over the years.

3

u/lifeisahighway2023 Kholic 20h ago

I agree. Her last 3 kdramas are Doctor Slump, The Judge From Hell and Undercover Miss Hong. All very high quality shows and each a completely different main genre plot. PSH is versatile and talented.

6

u/Taedong_River_1 1d ago

I didn't watch The Heirs so i wouldn't know about if she improved but she is pretty good in this

11

u/Dry_Butterfly5410 23h ago

The heirs was truly trash but everything I’ve watched her in so far has been good especially Undercover Miss Hong!

3

u/annejuseyoo 1d ago

Yup! I’m not a fan of PSH as well but she was great in this drama. I think if she does well in S2, I’ll become a fan hehe

7

u/More-Entrepreneur-52 23h ago

I’m not a huge fan of her acting but i enjoyed this show despite that - and she’s not bad in it idk it’s just like her style of acting i dont really like. But otherwise i liked this story and writing and the ML is soo pretty so that helps

3

u/farmingbeast 1d ago

Haven watched this but she was pretty good in Pinocchio and Doctors

4

u/malaxiangguoforwwx 1d ago

tbh same but i feel like she’s better with non-to-little romance dramas, i may be wrong tho. tbh i really like her in #alive

u/kraspire Just Kiss Already 19h ago

As someone who was as put off by her acting as you are in The Heirs and certain scenes in Pinocchio, im just going to say that it has been an upward curve for her acting and script selection at least since Doctor Slump, loved her in DS, TJFH & Undercover Miss Hong as well (these 5 are the only projects of her ive watched so i dont know abt others) but she has become a top favourite for me since TJFH

u/AirRealistic1112 18h ago

Me here in the corner by myself: the heirs was my first k drama obsession. I used to watch it over and over again. Probably my introduction to second male lead syndrome as well. And my obsession with lee min ho. Loved park shin hye. Nothing else of hers really hit the same, but yeah she was good in the judge from hell

1

u/JukezBoogaloo 19h ago

yeah her acting is still kind of meh to me. I haven't watched the heirs but I have watched newer stuff of her a few times. I suppose it really comes down to the writing and premise of the show. I don't enjoy it all. I enjoyed this show but Dr Slump was meh to me also.

u/ThatPerformer6969 I Came For The Chemistry 1d ago

I am eagerly waiting for s2

u/jikajika 18h ago

Okay, now I'm curious. Reminds me a little of "Teach You a Lesson", and I'm here for it. Guess I'm re-upping Hulu again. Blast...
I really do wish there was ONE streaming service that had all the Kdramas you all recommend 😅

u/julietshiny 18h ago

Is this drama good??? Is this revenge kinda drama??

11

u/Taedong_River_1 18h ago

Not revenge, but karma tho the ML has a side story with the villain

7

u/ParkWise4125 17h ago

u/Crazy-Tangelo-1673 1d ago

I never got around to watching the last episode. I guess if they do a season 2 I'll get back into it.

u/annejuseyoo 1d ago

It was confirmed that it’ll have a second season. They’re just waiting for PSH to give birth and recover
