The Netflix original series was released on April 14 and is among the most-watched show on the OTT platform in countries including Korea, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, and the United States.

Queenmaker tells the story of two women working towards a common goal. 

Hwang Do Hee (Kim Hee Ae) is an ace employee of Eunsung Group where she works as a general manager of the strategic planning team. Despite how far she has come and everything she has done for the company, Do Hee decides to put all her efforts into making Oh Seung Sook (Moon So Ri) the next mayor of Seoul. 

Given the nickname of "crazy rhinoceros", Oh Seung Sook is a woman who tolerates no injustice on the part of common people and is often seen butting heads with the Eunsung Group. Apart from being a labour rights lawyer, Seung Sook is also president of the Women’s Worker Association, Korean Women’s Human Rights Wave, and leader of the Worker’s Solidarity Rights Foundation. 

She would have led her life as a just lawyer, had it not been for the "Queen Maker" Hwang Do Hee who decides to help her rise to the mayor's throne. 

Apart from Kim Hee Ae and Moon So Ri, the K-drama's extensive cast includes Ryu Soo YoungSeo Yi SookJin KyungYoon Ji Hye, and Ok Ja Yeon, among others. The K-drama is directed by Oh Jin Suk, and its screenplay is penned by Moon Ji Young
