Jeon Yeo-been Concludes Revenge Plot Perfectly in 'The Good Bad Woman', Ending with Record Ratings
The ENA original drama 'The Good Bad Woman' has successfully wrapped up its run, thanks to the powerful performance of lead actress Jeon Yeo-been.
The final episode, aired on the 4th, saw protagonist Kim Young-ran (played by Jeon Yeo-been) flawlessly execute her revenge against the villain Ga Seon-yeong (played by Jang Yoon-ju), culminating in a happy ending as she began a new life with her loved ones.
The finale achieved a personal best viewership rating, with 7.1% nationwide and 7.1% in the Seoul metropolitan area. This secured its position as the No. 1 ENA Monday-Tuesday drama for 2025 and the second highest-rated ENA drama of all time, according to Nielsen Korea.
In the episode, Kim Young-ran, following Chairman Ga Seong-ho's (played by Moon Sung-keun) plan, meticulously trapped Ga Seon-yeong. CCTV footage capturing her crimes and the video of Ga Ye-rim's murder were revealed at the shareholder meeting, leading to Ga Seon-yeong facing the full force of the law.
After completing her vengeance, Kim Young-ran was overcome with emotion while listening to Chairman Ga Seong-ho's final message. His heartfelt support, given without expecting anything in return, provided her with immense comfort.
Ultimately, Kim Young-ran returned to Muchang Village with Jeon Dong-min and her friend Baek Hye-ji (played by Joo Hyun-young), who had unconditionally supported her. Embracing their future together, she and Jeon Dong-min shared a sweet kiss.
Meanwhile, the supporting characters also found their own happiness. Lee Don (played by Seo Hyun-woo) started his own business, Baek Hye-ji married Seo Tae-min (played by Kang Ki-doong), and Im Seon (played by Seo Jae-hee) secured her position as the kindergarten principal in Muchang with Kim Young-ran's help. Those who committed evil deeds were all imprisoned, realizing true poetic justice.
Netizens praised the show's conclusion, with comments like 'Jeon Yeo-been's acting was incredible,' 'A perfect portrayal of justice being served,' and 'Looking forward to Season 2!' reflecting the audience's satisfaction with the finale.
