Secret Queen Makers (2018)

I mean,i started watching this because of Sehun,Chanyeol and Leeteuk,if it weren't for them i wouldn't even finished it. I was confused 4 out of 7 episodes lol.
The story doesn't have much to it,trying to transform a "ugly" girl that it's already pretty but y'know,kdrama logic. Put some makeup on her,take her glasses off and add a dress and she goes from ugly to a model in a sec. And there were many random scenes that made me cringe like crazy.
But overall for being a product placement drama,it was pretty cute.

I recommend it if you have 8-15 minutes to spare, but don't expect too much.

Another Lotte drama with an army of popular actors and idols, that serves mostly as a lengthy advertisment to promote the shopping department and the brands it merches. The story itself is just okay towards idiotic, focusing on a girl who's considered to be ugly, but the only thing she's missing is self confidence (even though the drama skips that and just tryies to transform her into a model or something). Some of the small cases, moreover, were entertaining, but others were not making sense. At least, this time we've gotten an ending, unlike seven kisses, lottes' previous drama. The performances, finally, were okay, but, as the drama was about six to ten minutes, they got like two lines each, so there was no way to say if they were good or not.
All in all, a light drama to watch if you have half an hour to spend.

I must say many of the watchers (maybe everyone) have watched it just because of their favorite cast. Am I wrong??

In my opinion, you should just watch the face of your favorite stars. Don't focus on the plot or anything else. Because that would be just waste of time. I didn't like it because literally there is no storyline. They are just just acting. Coming here & going there. Just that. Nothing else. It's short but maybe they think that it's so short that they can't even make a good story.

Just one thing don't waste your valuable time. I would suggest you that go watch something else. And if you wanna watch that's your wish.

Now I'm a big fan of a good pygmalion story, but despite the great trailer this was anything but. Let's call this a time where expectations didn't align with actual product. I was anticipating a Cinderella and the Four Knights-Birth of a Beauty smash up. What I saw was an infomercial colliding with a B-grade movie. I'm sort of shocked that I actually watched the entire thing.

This felt like a formula gone wrong. All the elements were in place--an interesting premise, a setting with potential and beautiful actors, But all the good ingredients rendered was an extended and mildly confusing commercial. The storyline was a bit like a bumper car ride with each jolt spinning me in another direction. Transitions were non-existent. The characters were strange, wispy, and dreamlike...like Alice in Wonderland/Edward Scissorhands/Warehouse 13 odd with unfleshed motivations.

I watched the drama 7 first kisses and I thought it was cute even tho is lacked a story line when I saw this drama I thought I should give it a chance and I'm glad I did this was sooo much better than 7 first kisses as this one has some kind of purpose as of why the female lead thinks low of herself and how oe why they helped her
I think the drama also has a good messege that u should try to be what u want to be and not let others let u down, at least this is what I took from it (other than its a promotion for lotte)
It's good for a mini drama and I liked it I recommend it, I mean just think of it as a movie all the ep together would only add up to like 2 hours so watch it.

I watch this drama to see Chanyeol and Sehun acting and it's theme is just same as 7 first kisses or can say they both are part of same series. At starting of the episode nothing new has been start . Slow but short episode can't bored but don't able to take out any sense of the episode .I know it is short web series but some a element seem to be missing (not able to connect with the the episode)or incomplete.
some dialogue of this episode I like it
1.you stolen my heart 2.be beside me 3.the way he make her wear the necklace and saying her that you need it ,don't loose it.
4.last part of episode 4 when she throw the necklace and Chanyeol said her "I need you ".
Starting episode to episode 4 I was just thinking that exactly how all those men help her to become beautiful . She slightly change and then come to her original look .Total confusion but in 5th episode gave me hint how they help her , at one scenario she sat on the bench and recall what all of them said to her she get motivate and ready to change herself or can say ready to prove her self .At the last part entering of master I thought some interesting going to happen something related to suitcase but nothing happen like that .
Sehun part don't make any sense if he collide with her then what is all about master story that was definitely not be dream .
In short don't use much mind it just a long advertisement with some excited elements.

Las historias de Lotte puede que no tengan un super final, ni una super historia, y sean completamente fantasía, pero es esa fantasía lo que me satisface.
Me encanta soñar, que en un centro comercial encuentro el chico lindo, o el hado madrino en este caso, y que lindos hados me ayudan a mejorar psicológicamente, porque es eso lo que hacen en este drama, le muestran que la confianza se muestra desde adentro, que viene de adentro, no de afuera.
Aunque la mayoría de los hados no eran actores, hicieron un buen trabajo... bueno creo que solo dos no eran actores jajajaja.. pero el detective.. ese niño tiene una voz, que me dejo plop!
Espero que en este 2020 también hagan otro.

I watched this for Sehun and Chanyeol, but honestly looking all of the casts, I don't look forward to any of the performances except Lee Junki and Go Wonhee. Heck, I even prefer they just played with each other without other 5 actor-dols. Even Lee Junki and Go Wonhee wasting their time in here.

The story kinda uniformed, as it is only had one storyline, and learned about how to improve her confidence. But, girl should get her confidence by looking thing in positive notes, not switching your passenger's suitcase and you got free clothes and makeover.

As much as I like Sehun, his part is utterly nonsense, tbh. Sehun, Chanyeol, Chansung, Leeteuk and Hwang Chiyeol acting are mediocre as it best, cringe at the most. Don't know the purpose of Lee Junki, except he is a fairy godfather like Choi Ji-woo in Seven First Kisses *eye-rolled*. Go Wonhee looks best as Seo-jin in Waikiki and I don't know why she picked this role. Music just okay and everything else is a meh.

Ok Leeteuk is the WORST Fairy God Mother LOL And Sehun is the most drop dead gorgeous Prince! Basically this is everything you could want in a romance, plethora of eye candy options, nice helping of fluff, some shameless wish fulfilment, but
this one also comes with a meaningful script. I know it's the usual transform into a Princess trope but the way they did it, they talked about the issues surrounding the people we disregard as being ugly. Also, if you have a kid that is calling someone ugly you're the one responsible for raising him that way! A child gleans from their parents and their environment, they aren't born with these prejudices. Anyway, I digress. The point is I like that they didn't give the makeover too much emphasis. She achieved exterior beauty by achieving confidence in herself. Helped by a bunch of magical characters starting from Lee Joon Gi, Chansung, Leeteuk, Chi Yul, and finally Chanyeol. All of whom teach our Cinderella something that changes her life forever but even when she meets her final challenge in the form of an extremely handsome Chanyeol, she still wavers. I enjoyed the story in general but what I love most is that despite its length it didn't feel incomplete or rushed. It actually felt like someone put thought into this project. Absolutely would recommend!

The drama is just as short as web dramas are supposed to be but it grabs on to some very important subjects including both 'taking chances' and 'self esteem problems' both of which are big problems that almost everyone has, after watching this drama you will A) have a great feeling inside you of having been soothed.
B) Feel sad that it's over and/or feel like it's too short and wanting the drama to continue!

I personally had both of those things but I also felt very calm and understanding afterwards (I know that might sound weird to a newbie) the way they explain a minimum of the magic in the series makes it easier to take it all I need and make your own conclusions, which is great...

Overall it's the kind of drama that is an excellent boost to your mood!
