A must watch K-Drama with an excellent cast

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!

Vengeance, Demons, and Humanity’s Darkness

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!

What a perfect 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 soooo 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 Queens 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...

Good Drama, Disappointing Final Episode

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 for 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.)

A Royal Journey Well Concluded

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!

Great show, thanks to all the performances of the groups.

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.
