The key is making characters that are different, so the audience forgets the clichéd setting. That's what I'm good at, and that is what I find fun. I want people to think, 'I've seen something like this before, but still this is strangely fun.'"

The show also contributed to the rise of tourism in Greece, where scenes of the drama were shot. The success of ''Descendants'' saw a change in tide toward pre-produced Korean dramas. However, in an interview, Kim Won-seok (co-writer of ''Descendants'') stated that said there were some parts that could have been improved on if the show had been shot as it was being aired, per local industry norm.

Critical assessment

Kim's trademark is slick and glossy romantic comedies with fast-flying banter. Some critics have opined that Kim writes shallow characters, and she is as polarizing as she is successful. But not only do most of her dramas appeal to a wide age range of viewers and receive high ratings, but they often have that extra element that make them pop-culture buzz projects, whether it's due to a particularly catchy line of dialogue or a recurring joke. In 2012, she received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the SBS Drama Awards.


Philanthropy

On March 10, 2022, Kim made a donation millions to the Hope Bridge Disaster Relief Association to help the victims of the massive wildfire that started in Uljin, Gyeongbuk and has spread to Samcheok, Gangwon. and donated money millions to help Ukraine war victims.
