Notes

It established the main cast as top stars of the 90s and Choi Jin-sil became a beloved national actor.[8][4] It is considered the first trendy Korean drama, and one that marked the beginning of Korean romantic comedy.[9][10] “’Jealousy’ was seen not merely a popular drama, but a drama that represented a phase in Korean society during the 1990s,” said Ha Jae-geun, a culture critic. He continued to say, “The drama ushered in the so-called 'Era of Trendy Drama.'” The concept of trendy dramas can be seen in movies or TV series that take advantage of popular stars, so as to delve deeper into urban lifestyles, state-of-the-art fashion, and ways of thinking among the young generation.[4][11]

It was aired again on July 20, 1997, re-edited into 8 episodes each with a runtime of 90 minutes, as the first TV series to be rebroadcast through MBC Drama Masterpiece.[12][13]
