Netizens can't help but notice the timing of Kim Ji Soo's Instagram post on the broadcast of drama series "Hwarang" where she currently stars with Park Seo Joon, Go Ara, and Park Hyung Sik.

According to Allkpop, the actress took to her Instagram account Tuesday to share a still shot of her previous project and wrote, "Always being able to do good projects is difficult. Often I start something because it seems great but then it goes off-course...there are many unexpected factors..."

The Instagram post earned mixed response from the netizens. Many of them slammed Kim Ji Soo for likely criticizing "Hwarang," accusing the actress for not liking her current project. "Even if you don't like the drama so much, there are many people who worked hard. You're putting all of them down," a netizen wrote.

Other netizens accused Kim Ji Soo of being dissatisfied with her character on "Hwarang." The 44-year-old actress takes the role of Queen Mother of Jiso in the drama. "She's just sad because now she has to play someone's mom," a commenter said.

Kim Ji Soo was confirmed to be part of the "Hwarang" lineup in March as per her label, Namoo Actors. "Kim Ji Soo will play the strong and charismatic female character," a rep said as cited by Kpopherald.

The source went on, "Dubbed as the "ice witch," empress dowager Jiso is a cold and charismatic person with lofty ambition, contrary to her elegant looks."

"Hwarang" aired its first episode on Dec. 19 and earned a viewership rating of 6.9 percent. The new drama currently sits at the second spot for dramas airing on Monday and Tuesday at 22:00 KST in terms of viewership.

The KBS2 historical drama revolves around the story of Hwarang, a group of male youth in the Shilla Era. "Hwarang" also stars V of BTS, Choi Minho of SHINee, Do Ji Han, Jo Yoon Woo, and Choi Won Young.

 늘..좋은 작품을 한다는건,그리고 만난다는건 쉬운것 같지만 참 어려운 일이다. 좋은것같아 시작했는데 배가 산으로 가는 경우도 허다하고 변수가 너무 많기도 하다. 할수만 있다면 매번 하얗게 불태우고 싶은게 나같이 연기라는 일을 하는 사람들의 마음이나, 그림처럼 오로지 혼자서만 하는 일이 아니니 그또한 쉽지않다. 그렇다고 열가지의 조건을 다 만족시키는 것들을 기다리고만 있을수도없다. 하지만...많은것들에 의지와 열정이 나뭇가지 부러지듯 꺾이기도 하지만.. 가슴한켠에 불을 꺼트리지않기 위해 애써야한다. . . 여자,정혜때 스틸컷을 오랜만에 보다가 넋두리. 지금보니 나와 정민오빠 둘다 참 애기같았구만. 저때ㅎ~ 울지못했던 정혜처럼.. 아니 울지못한게 아니라 울지않았지만, 오늘은 쌓아놓은거,쌓여있는거 펑펑 울어 풀기라도 해야겠군. #여자정혜 #넋두리
