I was watching a drama about a locust over the weekend and I couldn't help but think, "As expected, it's as expected."
Go Hyun-jung's acting is truly unbeatable... (Is it the same style as Lee Byung-hun?)
You played the role of serial killer Jeong I-shin really well and it was really creepy.
These days, it's easy to get bored quickly while watching a drama and change the channel.
I found myself watching the second episode with great immersion!!!
I'm really looking forward to how the story will progress in the future~~

[Sports Seoul | Reporter Bae Woo-geun] Actress Go Hyun-jung showed off her presence in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'The Mantis: Murderer's Outing', making viewers' dopamine explode.
In the second episode that aired on the 6th, unprecedented serial killer Jeong I-shin (played by Go Hyun-jung), known as 'the mantis', took the lead in the drama and maximized the tension.
In the drama, a copycat suspect, Seo Gu-wan (Lee Tae-goo), is arrested thanks to hints from Jeong Yi-shin and an investigation by Cha Soo-yeol (Jang Dong-yoon). Seo Gu-wan, who was abandoned by his mother in the past and has been threatening his family out of revenge against his half-brother, is a follower of Jeong Yi-shin.
Cha Soo-yeol finds a letter that seems to have been sent by Jeong I-shin and questions him, but Jeong I-shin sarcastically says, “Is that all you can do as a police officer?”, increasing the tension.

Cha Soo-yeol confronts Jeong Yi-shin and Seo Gu-wan in an attempt to find Kim Tae-seok, whose whereabouts are unknown. Jeong Yi-shin leisurely asks Seo Gu-wan, "Why did you do that?" and "How did you feel?" before finally realizing he's lying.
Seo Gu-wan, enraged by the continued provocation, throws a tantrum, threatening to expose Cha Su-yeol's secret, but Jeong I-shin reveals her true colors by strangling him.
In particular, the scene at the end of the broadcast where Jeong Yi-shin takes a leaf out of her mouth and smiles meaningfully heightened the tension of the drama and stimulated curiosity.
Go Hyun-jung overpowers her opponents with a sly yet relaxed demeanor, subtly expressing the joy she feels in the process. The SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Mantis: Murderer's Outing" airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM.
