Queenmaker is a new Korean Netflix series directed by Jin Suk Oh and starring Kim Hee-ae, Luna So-ri and Su-yeong ryu.
Queenmaker is a curious Korean series with a very, very special protagonist played by Kim Hee-ae. A mix of comedy and drama quite, quite interesting and, above all, with a different flavor.
A series that makes the “bad guys” (supposedly) a little more human (just a little).
Plot
An excellent image consultant does the impossible: she cleans up the image of the meanest and cruelest bosses in town. After suffering an accident, she faces her greatest challenge: to make a woman lawyer becomes the mayor.
Is it really possible to give a lawyer a good image?
About the series
A fun and entertaining series that, at least, has a different plot, and that is appreciated among a grid of repetitive series and hackneyed plots.
Yes, South Korea is currently the country that sets the trends (or rather the one with the most emerging production) and it is thanks to series like this one (and hits like Squid Game), which offer us a new vision, sometimes lighter and certainly less corseted. It is not the best series that we are going to watch in terms of production, but it has the brilliant virtue of knowing how to create a different character, very attractive and, at the same time, to make it fun and very human.
A series that knows how to stand out plotwise and that, in addition, is well shot (good editing rhythm, I would say) and a whole story to tell, with its pertinent subplots, that fit perfectly in the (almost) impossible task of turning a lawyer into a mayor.
Very entertaining, a small gift with a different flavor to the series or movies of flat and bottomless characters.
It also has the virtue of knowing how to approach the complicated with simplicity and, above all, knowing its virtues, betting on them, and coming out more than successful.
