Moral of the story: Don't kill yourself!

 Good Kdrama, all the actors are very good in their roles, all the lives were logical and the ending was just-...

 Sad for Lee Ji Soo, she deserved better 

Strong 8.5/10

Completed February 27, 2024

The characters are enjoyable, I liked the fact that Kang Ji Won takes her revenge and finds new people to be with.

 The arrival of Oh Yoo Ra is unexpected and rushed but necessary for the story

It's a nice and fluffy K-Drama, everything I like ! 

I had a good time watching this but the added plot was not necessary

Completed March 06, 2024

That was the perfect K-Drama for me!
It justs have all what I love : Not useless plot, perfect actors, cute couples,….

I had such a great time watching this K-Drama!

What a journey!

The best thing about this K-drama is its casting; each actress was incredible.
That was your role, Jang Da A! I can't believe this was her first drama; she played Ha Rim so well.  And Bona, I love her acting so much!

The friendship of the four was also so nice to watch.

I think it's rare that a K-drama makes me feel so excited at the end of each episode and eager for the next episode; that's why 10 episodes felt like one.

The OST was a 10 out of 10, mostly the ambiance during the episodes and the epic opening (since the first episode, it's been in my playlist).

I'll miss Baekyeon Girls' High School and Sung Soo Jin but I had a great time!

I watched Queendom Puzzle without having seen the two previous seasons, so I decided to watch them.

All the groups deserved to win the show:

• AOA nailed every round with many different concepts. "Egotistic" was the best cover of the show; it seemed like their own song.
• Park Bom was very nostalgic about her former group 2NE1 in every round. I particularly liked her duo with Hyojung.
• I found that (G)idle was stuck on their dark concept throughout the show but their last performance was strong.
• Lovelyz showed a bright and refreshing side, with Kei carrying the group.
• Oh My Girl and Mamamoo were the two winners for me:
  • Mamamoo was consistently perfect, with strong vocals and a very charismatic presence.
  • Oh My Girl was THE all-rounder group, with good concepts, skilled dancers (I'll never forget the perfect dance moment of YooA with Smooth Criminal), and fun members. 

It was a fun show without  drama and tension (Queendom Puzzle). Jang Sung Kyu as the MC was funny, and all the songs released were good.

What a K-Drama!
It wasn't just a drama; it was a rollercoaster of emotions with just the right amount of humor and a perfect cast.

Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won were the perfect leads for the drama and the best couple; they deserve an award for their acting. I wouldn't even be surprised if they announced that they were a couple because their chemistry was so good.
Park Sung Hoon perfectly portrayed the anti-hero; I think everybody hated him just because his character was so detestable (It just proves that his acting is good and I agree.).
QOT was so well-written; every little thing had consequences, and the screenwriters really played with us!  
And the OST... even after finishing the drama, I just want to rewatch it; please take me back to Queens Mall!

 There's nothing negative to say about this drama; I completely understand why it had such a large audience.

I might have wanted a bit more explanation on certain things (such as Mo Seul Hee's origins and motivations on the Queen's family, etc...) and especially more scenes on the different couples like Hong Beom Ja and Young Song, or even on the spouses of the ML’s brother and sister.

I began this drama in August last year (10/08/23) and the main reason I'm ending it now is because I just found it to be too long. This drama isn't the only one in this situation, but I don’t want to drop it, so it took me a long time to finish.
There's not too much to say about it, the main couple was cute and the differents friendships were funny; the only thing that I liked was the discussion between NaHeeDo and Yu Rim where they didn’t know they were talking to each other, and the brother of Yi Jim who listens to Seung Wan’s web radio (this hasn't been developed much only at the end, which is a shame).

Really fun drama! The plot was good, and there's no need for more episodes. You can just spend a day or two enjoying this drama

Completed June 15, 2024

It was messy, but I liked it. The plot at the start was clear: he can't lie. But as the episodes went on, it felt like there were four different writers for the drama who couldn't agree on a single plot. The dating show part was good and funny.

Finally!

Completed July 04, 2024

Yeah, there was a lot of drama and fandom wars again, but all the performances on the show were good. I'm happy with the final lineup (though I'm sad for Juju and Fuko). I've been rooting for JiYoon since the beginning of the show, so I'm glad she made it, but it was a real rollercoaster, and I felt so bad for her behind my screen...

Completed August 25, 2024

Yes, I get the meaning of the drama—the pain of depression and how love can heal it—but honestly, it was sooo loongg. Even the subplot with the second couple was more interesting...

Completed August 30, 2024

SPOILER ALERT

Too, too, too long, which makes it disappointing!
A critique I often have with dramas is the unnecessary tension and lore in the story (seriously, the killer following them on vacation and making the male lead fall off a cliff???).
The story jumps from one thing to another, and a detail from the beginning, like the paralyzed legs, is quickly abandoned. The drama started well, but many things were dropped or rushed. The second male lead is forgotten after his clothing brand arc, and the female lead is unbearable at times, even rejecting her brother's relationship with his friend, despite knowing she has nephews???

SPOILER ALERT

Wtf was that last episode? It looks like the writers only had 11 episodes done, and the last one wasn’t planned. Why ruin their relationship in just 50 minutes? Why kill THE MOTHER? Even with all the drama, the main couple was only interesting in the beginning episodes, while the second main couple stayed interesting and enjoyable throughout the drama. All the plot around the FL's mother took too long, only for them to kill her off at the end! -0.5 for the last episode and -0.5 for the lack of variety in the main couple’s storyline.

The good points were the humor, with all the running gags, and the small details that added so much to the drama. Overall, it's a good drama but with a pointless last episode... (For a 12-episode drama, that's a shame.)

Completed October 12, 2024

Great show, it's enjoyable to see four well-known people with different personalities helping each other while camping.
The four actresses are really likable and enjoyable to watch, each with their own qualities that make the 11 episodes not feel long.
Food played a big role in the episodes, but at least the girls didn't hold back (except in the last episode in Paris). It was very nice to see my country shine like that and give these four girls a great trip.

Et puis si on peux être fière un peu de son pays quelque fois ça fait plaisir !

Finally, SooYoung’s wish came true—the king loves her. 

Very good drama! I took a long break halfway through the series, but it didn’t hold me back from understanding and enjoying the second half.
It’s incredible how in every role, Shin Hye Sun plays so well and really embodies the character. She’s one of the reasons this drama is so good. The main couple is really nice to watch, and I liked the king’s effort to adapt to the queen, especially by learning her language with the dictionary.
The "bad people" in the drama are truly detestable, especially those two women who think they’re above everyone and look down on others. It was satisfying to see Jo Hwa Jin’s period of “apology” and the reconciliation between her and the queen.

I saw many people criticize the ending, but I found it logical. We kind of knew how it would end from the start anyway, even if it’s hard to reconnect with the story we started in episode 1... Honestly, I didn’t understand everything in the end, but well, all’s well that ends well!

Completed November 02, 2024

SPOILER ALERT

A satisfying open-ended conclusion; I think this is Park Shin Hye’s best K-drama. This kind of role suits her much better than something like Doctor Slump. Excellent production overall, with a solid script, impressive special effects—congratulations to SBS for this great drama!

The scenes of revenge and Kang Bit Na’s execution were really gratifying. The actors playing the villains nailed their roles as despicable characters. The entire cast was strong; there wasn’t a weak performance, even in the smaller roles, like the journalist or all the victims appearing throughout the drama.

Someone pointed this out, and I completely agree—it really shows that humans can be far more cruel and malevolent than the demons, who just want to feel love, sadness, and all the range of human emotions.

The atmosphere shifts dramatically after Kim So Yeong’s death and the hunt for both J and Satan. Kim Jae Young also played his role as Han Da On incredibly well. You can really sense a shift in his character when he’s ready to kill J and collaborate with Bit Na.

A solid 9/10—a perfect K-drama for Halloween!
