Actresses Kim Hye-soo, Kim Seo-hyung and Kim Tae-hee are back with the most fitting characters. They are called the Big 3 and there are reasons for that.

They refuse to play the typical characters that fight between good and evil. They are back as a lawyer who fights the world of those who overuse their power (Kim Hye-soo in "Hyena"), a detective who seeks justice by overcoming her trauma (Kim Seo-hyung in "Nobody Knows") and a mother who gets a chance at reincarnation for 49 days (Kim Tae-hee in "Hi Bye, Mama!").

- Kim Hye-soo VS Kim Seo-hyung and Kim Tae-hee

Kim Hye-soo is Jeong Geum-ja these days. That's how viewers remember her in the drama "Hyena", which began on the 21st. She is a 'cool' lawyer who has the best interest of money in mind. Kim Hye-soo introduces the drama as something between conventional and comedy or mystery and mellow. Kim Hye-soo, who has spent more than 30 years in acting, plays a character obsessed with winning and letting go of her conscience.

Kim Seo-hyung in "Nobody Knows" asks herself what a 'good grown-up is' using serial murders involving emerging religions. What would normally be a male role as a detective is played this time by Kim Seo-hyung, maintaining the genre's characteristics, but showing off her strength with stories that contain her worries for the next generation.

Kim Tae-hee is back with a fantasy this time. She dies from an accident, but can't cross over to the other world because she misses her young daughter too much. Kim Tae-hee was mostly seen in romance dramas, but this time she's approaching viewers with a more friendly vibe in "Hi Bye, Mama!".

- Their choices and reactions

The result of their choices can be seen in the viewership. "Hyena", which began on the 21st of February, rated 10.4% in the most recent episode. Kim Seo-hyung's "Nobody Knows", which began on the 2nd, has been climbing steadily until 9.5% on the 10th. Kim Tae-hee's "Hi Bye, Mama!", which began on the 22nd of February, is somewhere between 5% ~ 6%.

Kim Hye-soo is in the lead, but viewers show a different response. The hottest drama being talked about is "Nobody Knows".

Kim Tae-hee's "Hi Bye, Mama!" is known as the 'tears button'. They key element of a young child parting with her mother stimulates tears with every episode.
