A huge kudos to the production team of upcoming tvN Wed-Thurs drama Baumdong Revenge Club for getting three fantastic female leads to form the titular club. Starring Lee Yo Won, Ra Mi Ran, and Myung Se Bin, with idol Jun of U-Kiss rounding out the club as the kiddo addition, the drama is adapted from the same name webtoon about a trio of ladies from disparate life backgrounds and circumstances who get together to form a club to get revenge on those who have betrayed or harmed them.
Lee Yo Won is a chaebol’s daughter in an arranged marriage with a cheating spouse, Ra Mi Ran is a poor fishwife with a bullied son, and Myung Se Bin is an orphan turned new society wife with an abusive husband. I love the idea of them working together to personally get payback for wrongs done, and I trust the PD Kwok Seok Jang who has down such a deft touch in his previous dramas Woman With a Suitcase, Miss Korea, Golden Time, My Princess, and Pasta. This Revenge Club starts meeting in early October after Criminal Minds.
The director is great. I personally like Lee Yo Won and Ra Mi Ran individually a lot so I’m looking forward to this. Criminal Minds is such a bleh drama because I’m a fan of the original series and the Korean remake is not as good.
This might be a hit – I think dramas with women sometimes are given the audience. Like Woman of Dignity.
Now that I think of it surprised the LJK fans are not gushing over Criminal Minds. Must not be good.
I am a LJK’s fan. As much as I love LJK (to the moon and back) and CM having really strong casts especially in LJK, SHJ and MCW, the writing and directing is so meh. What a waste of talents! Again, the production team has let my LJK down.
I’m looking forward to this. I really love ra mi ran.
The writer is also extremely important, any idea who it is?
I think the writer is a newbie. Her name is Kim Yi Ji.
