“Park Min-young + Genius Cons = Your New K-Drama Obsession "

Confidence Queen is such a fun ride! Park Min-young totally owns the role of Yoon Yi-rang, a genius con artist who’s way too smart (IQ 165!) and stylish for her own good. She leads this hilarious little crew of swindlers who pull off wild scams against greedy villains—think fake shamans, crazy disguises, and mind games that make you want to clap at the screen. Instead of just being about the tricks, the show has heart too, with lots of warm moments sprinkled between the laughs.

The cast really makes it shine. Park Hee-soon is effortlessly cool as the veteran James, and Joo Jong-hyuk brings so much charm as Gu-ho—their banter with Yi-rang feels natural and makes you love the team even more. On top of that, the chemistry between Yi-rang and Gu-ho adds just the right amount of sweetness.

It’s light, clever, and super bingeable, with each episode feeling like a mini heist movie. THerefore, If you’re in the mood for a drama that mixes brains, comedy, and heart, Confidence Queen is definitely worth the watch.

a waste of time, both for the creators and the viewers

I'm so sorry to say this, because of the efforts of so many people, but after only 2 episodes I can see that the series is not good.
The plots are waaaaaaay too illogical, the whole thing is unpleasantly exaggerated, (even music)and acting of main female character is too much. She isnt a good actress. I think they try to be funny and silly but it is……somehow too too much. I'm giving up and never come back.

Robin Hood, But Make It Slick. My First Look at Confidence Queen.

First episode in, and I'm already intrigued.

The plot will likely branch into multiple storylines, with the main characters facing off against various antagonists. What makes it interesting is that their methods aren’t always morally clear, they often bend the rules by impersonating others and taking on roles they aren’t technically entitled to. Still, their ultimate goal remains justifiable: to protect the innocent and bring justice to those who have been wronged.

Introducing our charismatic crew of con artists: Starting with Yoon Yi Rang, portrayed by Park Min Young. She’s smart, witty, and unstoppable; whatever she sets her sights on, she achieves. But her schemes always come with a purpose, as she uses her talents for a greater good. Fiercely loyal to her partners in crime and always ready to help those in need, Yoon Yi Rang is the ultimate good baddie, the kind who flips her hair, winks, and blows a kiss while leaving you in awe. And yes, her outfits in this drama are absolutely stunning.
Next up is James, played by Park Hee Soon, the seasoned member of the crew. With his years of experience, he carries himself with an air of sophistication, looking every bit as expensive as he sounds. Calm and collected, he balances the team with his composed demeanor, but he also surprises with a dry, dad-joke kind of humor that’s oddly charming. Most importantly, James is the steady backbone of the group, always standing by his partners and offering unwavering support.
Finally, we have Myung Gu Ho, portrayed by Joo Jong Hyuk, the youngest of the group. Energetic and eager to help, he radiates a puppy-like charm, trustworthy, funny, and utterly genuine. His light-hearted nature brings warmth to the team, and even when he gets a little grumpy with his partners, he doesn’t come across as intimidating, just irresistibly cute.

Confidence Queen has a very promising premise, and I’m excited to see where it goes. While it’s hard to judge a show based on just one episode, I’m already hooked, the concept is engaging, the characters are delightful, and the music fits perfectly, keeping every moment interesting.
Right from the start, the drama gave me familiar vibes, reminding me a lot of Leverage (the Korean adaptation). After looking into it, I realized that the same director, Nam Ki Hoon, who worked on Leverage, is behind Confidence Queen as well. That connection gives me even more hope for the series, especially since I thoroughly enjoyed Leverage back in 2020.

I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds, and I would highly recommend Confidence Queen to anyone looking for a fun and thrilling watch.

Not enough fun. the excessive violence put me off

It started out fun then it got gritty & scary. It's too intense for me & the excessive violence put me off. The Female lead's cavalier attitude-using people & self centeredness is unappealing & I'm not sure that she's well cast in this. But basically it all boils down to the fact that There's not enough to interest me in continuing .
Will skip to the end just to see the happy ending.

Total chaotic choppy mess, like a video game

yeah 1st ep was mind blowing, this is like energizer bunny on steroids... so chaotic, for audience with attention span of like 1 msec. Worse than a video game

Nothing Korean kdrama-like about it. It feels like a cheap western production - all kinds of meaningless unrelated fast chaotic actions without any rhyme or reason or order or SENSE

THERE IS NO MEANINGFUL COMMUNICATIONS
NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

yeah we see they are stealing but ... so what??? Some dazzling flashy scenes just flash by our eyes and that's the drama...

So ... no thanks to this one.

Three scammers seeking revenge for money

finished 7.5/10 🌟

Pros:
I liked the scams; they were entertaining, and each guest actor did an incredible job.

Park Ming-young: I liked seeing her in this role. She was the symbol of an anti-hero. She helped others, but always for her own benefit. 🤭
I think it was good for her to break away from the mold a bit, and despite everything, I found it entertaining.

Cons:
I think there were some script flaws, and the "people who helped" had empty moments within the story. I couldn't connect with that. Toward the end, I think they added too much filler. I would have liked more episodes to develop other aspects of Yirang's childhood. I felt his revenge was too superficial, and I didn't really understand his obsession.

An ending that's open to a second season. Honestly, I don't know if they'll do it because of the low ratings. Still, if they do, I'll give it a chance. 👏

No inicio eu estava muito animada com a hisória, gostei do primeiro episódio, de todo o caso de toda a dinâmica, mas depois comecei a achar cansativo, os casos se resolvem da mesma forma, seguem um padrão, uma fórmula. Dois episódios pra cada caso, o primeiro episódio mostra quem vai levar o golpe, o segundo episódio eles aplicavam o golpe, tiravaram o dinheiro da pessoa, e ela ficava com raiva. Mas eai? Essas pessoas não tentavam denunciar eles? Não tentavam ir atrás depois? Ninguém reconhecia eles? Achei muitas coisas mal feitas, o episódio do hospital e do cinema chega a ser ridículo de tanto que não fazia sentido, de onde saia tanto recurso pra aquilo?

Achei toda a trama do sequestro bem mal feita, só pra ter um motivo pra tudo. Eu sinceramente não vejo necessidade de ter uma segunda temporada, gostei di último episódio, antes dele eu estava achando todos os episódios cansativos e repetitivos.

Entretenida

Fue un drama entretenido aunque por momentos aburrido, fácil de entender y de llevar. Fue la misma historia, los mismos personajes, el mismo desarrollo y final. Es la típica historia con actuaciones exageradas pero que no molestan si te das cuenta y asumís el tipo de historia que es, tiene una trama principal que involucra a todos los protagonistas, a la par de que realizan fraudes a malas persona, que a la vez van destapando y dando pistas a los protagonistas para resolver la trama principal. Todos los protagonistas tienen un pasado en común que de alguna manera los lleva a relacionarse y terminar trabajando juntos para descubrir que paso.
Una historia que no ofrece nada nuevo, un poco apresurada, con un poco de falta de desarrollo y que en algunos momentos se centra demasiado en los fraudes y deja un poco de lado la trama principal.
La recomiendo para los que quieren desconectar y entretenerse un rato con algo divertido, la actuación, aunque exagerada es buena (hay muy buena química entre los protagonistas), el electo en general también (participan muchos actores y actrices bastantes conocidos), la dirección esta muy bien (se nota el gran presupuesto en varias escenas) y tiene un ost inesperadamente bueno.

A RAINHA DOS GOLPES: Um Trio Genial que Engana os Inescrupulosos

Em uma Seul dominada pela ganância, um trio de vigaristas se une para aplicar golpes elaborados e vingativos. Liderados pela genial Yoon Yi-Rang, eles criam cenários mirabolantes, disfarces perfeitos e planos non-stop para desfalcar os verdadeiros vilões da sociedade: empresários corruptos, magnatas imobiliários sem escrúpulos e figuras do setor financeiro. The Confidence Man KR é um jogo de gato e rato cheio de reviravoltas, onde a linha entre a mentira e a verdade é tênue, e onde a arte da vigarice se torna uma forma estilosa de justiça.

Park Min-young como Yoon Yi-Rang — A líder do time, uma vigarista com um QI de 165. Sua atuação é uma camaleoa de charme, inteligência e um toque badass que rouba a cena.

Park Hee-soon como James — O pilar emocional e estratégico do trio. Um veterano com um timing cômico afiado e uma aura de french chic, que equilibra o caos com experiência.

Joo Jong-hyuk como Myung Gu-ho — O membro mais jovem. Sua persona ingênua e pura esconde um talento essencial para os golpes, entregando o alívio cômico necessário.


Remake Afiado: Baseado no sucesso japonês The Confidence Man JP, a versão coreana injeta um ritmo mais acelerado e um estilo visual único de caper drama.

O Golpista-Justiçeiro: A série trabalha o tema da vingança moral, onde os "ladrões" se tornam, ironicamente, os agentes de justiça para quem a lei não alcança.

Química Perfeita do Trio: O elenco principal tem uma sinergia excelente, com cada membro desempenhando um papel distinto e essencial para a dinâmica da equipe.

Dispositivos de Trama Criativos: Cada episódio é um novo golpe com novos disfarces e cenários, mantendo o espectador constantemente adivinhando o próximo passo.

💭 Minha Experiência

Absolutamente divertido! Este drama é como um bom vinho tinto: encorpado na trama de crime, mas leve e efervescente na comédia. Park Min-young está espetacular, assumindo diversos personagens dentro de um só, provando ser uma mestra do disfarce. O drama nunca se leva muito a sério, mas toca em pontos importantes sobre a ganância e a corrupção. Você se pega torcendo pelos vigaristas e rindo de suas trapalhadas e planos audaciosos. É uma série que faz você se sentir cúmplice de um crime que, no fundo, parece ser a coisa certa a se fazer.

⭐ Vale a pena assistir?

Com certeza. Se você gosta de comédias de crime inteligentes, cheias de plot twists e um elenco carismático, TA RAINHA DOS GOLPES é um must-watch. Prepare-se para ser enganado! Claro que a nota 8 pede um pouco mais de 'proximidade', mas a Robin Hood , defensora dos 'frascos e dos comprimidos' cumpre seu papel.

Robin des Bois version Prada...

« Confidence Queen », c’est le genre de drama qui t’embarque direct dans une ambiance chic, rythmée et un brin borderline 😎. On suit une arnaqueuse de haut vol qui dépouille les puissants pour leur faire goûter leur propre poison... un peu le Robin des Bois version Prada 🕶️💰. Et franchement, ce concept, il marche à merveille.

J’ai kiffé ce petit délire façon "Catch Me If You Can", avec cette bande de pros touche-à-tout capables de tout falsifier, manipuler, hacker ou improviser en une seconde 😂. Chaque plan est millimétré, chaque coup préparé comme une scène de théâtre… et c’est tellement satisfaisant à regarder 🤌🏻🔥

Et ouais, j’ai adoré ces escrocs... Ils mentent, trichent et arnaquent, mais comme ils ne visent que les pourris de la haute, t’as juste envie qu’ils réussissent leurs plans 👏🏻😈. Leur cohésion, leur humour, ce petit côté “famille du crime” hyper attachant, tout ça donne une vraie âme au drama 🫶🏻

Côté jeu d’acteurs, j’avoue être un peu partagée. Park Min Young reste dans sa zone de confort... mêmes mimiques, même ton, même aura élégante 😬. C’est dommage, parce que le rôle lui offrait une occasion en or de casser cette image trop lisse, d’aller chercher quelque chose de plus piquant 🌶️. Cela dit, je l’ai trouvée plus rayonnante, en meilleure forme, et ça, ça fait plaisir 🫶🏻
Park Hee Soon, par contre, quelle surprise !!! 😍 Le voir dans un registre plus léger, plus malicieux, c’était inattendu mais il a totalement assuré 👌🏻. Il apporte ce petit grain de malice et d’assurance qui colle parfaitement à la vibe du groupe.

Le trio fonctionne à fond, les échanges sont fluides, drôles, naturels, et le casting secondaire est juste un bijou 💥. Les guests ?!? Un vrai feu d’artifice 🤩... chaque apparition ajoute un caméo, un “easter egg” qui fait sourire (coucou You Are My Destiny, Rowoon, Mask Girl 🫰🏻et sûrement d'autre que j'ai loupé).

Après, pour être honnêtes… c’est pas parfait 😅. Par moments, ça part dans des délires un peu trop gros... genre l’ouverture d’une porte d’avion en plein vol et tout le monde s’en fout 😂. Mais bon aller, c’est une comédie déjantée, donc je veux bien fermer les yeux. Par contre, les passages plus dramatiques s’intègrent moins bien à cette légèreté, et j’ai trouvé que l’intrigue principale se perdait un peu entre deux arnaques 🤷🏼‍♀️.
Les flashbacks aident à comprendre les liens entre les persos, leurs blessures et leurs motivations, mais j’aurais adoré qu’on nous montre plus les coulisses de leurs stratagèmes parce que franchement, c’est là que le drama brille ✨

Et puis vient la fin… après tout le teasing autour de l’intrigue centrale, j’ai trouvé le dénouement un peu fade... Tout ça pour ça 😩. On sent qu’ils gardent la porte entrouverte pour une saison 2 "pas de corps pas de mort...", mais honnêtement, l’histoire se suffisait à elle-même 🤷🏼‍♀️

Malgré tout, j’ai passé un bon moment devant "Confidence Queen" 🫶🏻. C’est fun, pétillant, sans prise de tête, et ça fait du bien entre deux dramas plus sérieux. c'est pas un chef-d’œuvre, mais clairement un bon ride divertissant à mater ✨✌🏻

Competente Demais Para Fracassar, Morno Demais Para Brilhar

O que dizer desse drama que é simpático, bem produzido e até funcional, mas que definitivamente não entrou no clube seleto dos meus favoritos de 2025? Não por demérito técnico ou narrativo, mas porque lhe faltou aquele elemento incontrolável que faz o espectador perder o fôlego, apertar “próximo episódio” sem pensar e esquecer da vida real. É correto, é competente, mas nunca urgente.

Existe também um traço curioso, quase recorrente, nos dramas protagonizados por Park Min-young: a insistência quase caricatural em reafirmar o quanto ela é jovem, sexy e irresistível, mesmo quando o roteiro já não precisa mais provar nada disso. É tudo um pouco exagerado, como se cada figurino e cada expressão facial gritassem “femme fatale de meia-idade com espírito de ninfeta”, o que, longe de ser uma crítica direta, acaba funcionando como um charme pitoresco que arranca sorrisos involuntários do espectador.

Já o vilão central sofre de um problema clássico: chega tarde, é pouco aprofundado e nunca se torna verdadeiramente memorável. Isso não chega a comprometer o conjunto, porque o roteiro já estava bem estruturado quando ele entra em cena, mas tampouco acrescenta tensão real à narrativa. No fim, fica a sensação de um drama agradável, esquecível e sem ressentimentos: daqueles que a gente termina, escreve a resenha e, com certa probabilidade, jamais volta a pensar nele. E tudo bem.
