First Impressions
Queen Mantis is the only Kdrama I’ve watched since HY’s latest series. This series reminds me of Silence of the lambs but this time the mastermind is a female serial killer and a mother too. The acting is so good that keeps me on the edge of my seat.
wow the pilot episode was very promising, i like the way his mom described in detail how she killed her victims. excited for next episode! #QueenMantis
#QueenMantis is checking all the boxes. Creepy opening credits sequence, creepy serial killer, and an interesting detective and killer dynamic. I love that it’s only 8 episodes so no time is wasted.
Good start for #QueenMantis for me. I like the mother — son psychological element of the story. This is a prideful woman, and I suspect this is her «proud mother» smile when he quickly figures out what she declined to explain. I’m going to enjoy, while being freaked out by, #GoHyunJung’s performance.
The sheer majesty of #GoHyunJung’s screen presence never fails to amaze me. It is incomparable and she’s downright hypnotizing. Add to that #JangDongYoon’s deeply affecting, layered performance & #QueenMantis is already on another level. I’m afraid they ate.
