Premiere Watch: Bittersweet Hell

Time slot: Friday-Saturday
Broadcaster: MBC
Genre: Black comedy, thriller, suspense, family, mystery
Episode count: 12
Global streamer: Viki

Reasons to watch: High on style — but also high on predictable setup — Bittersweet Hell brings us yet another happy and successful family woman who has to cruelly confront the fact that it’s all a lie. As her perfect life crumbles around her, all hell bittersweet hell breaks loose. But with Kim Hee-sun leading the way — and formidable mother-in-law Lee Hye-young as her foil — it’s sure to be a good time with some rollicking good acting. The black comedy element might just be enough to take this suspense-thrilled to new heights.

TL;DR: Kim Hee-sun meets the all-too-common dramaland heroine fate: your perfect life ain’t so perfect.

The biggest selling point here is the cast, im giving it a chance for them, although i have no problem with tropey dramas, subversion is extremely overrated.

Tell your story and tell it well, thats all that matters.

Wait WHAT? When did Chansung sneak into this drama?? I was staring at that photo blankly thinking about alabaster mermaids for some reason and then thought, "Why is Chansung so tall?"

I was already here for "Third Dude" from Chicken Nugget, or if you prefer, the best damn engineer-brother in OTVOI...

Also, a reminder to US folks--this is coming to Viki, but not for around 20 more days.

All I have to say is that if this show has the husband cheating with another woman when he's married to Kim Hee Sun, one of the most beautiful women in all of kdramas, then he might as well be transformed into a chicken nugget to complete the absurdist comedy.

He should be. But it happens in real life too. Case in point a royal family. So beauty is not a hindrance to cheating.

Yes, but there is normal beauty, and then there is Kim Hee Sun.

Omg. I thought I had one more day. Friday just got busy.

Hoping there will be something that makes this drama stand out among all the troublesome marriage ones.

I'm hoping the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law team up will be the key!

Here for Kim Hee-sun. I have a sneaking suspicion that she won't crumble that easily when life ain't so perfect. Hope he brother supports her well. 💪🤞
