Nice Short Drama, More than what I expected
Just saw a clip of this drama on tiktok and saw my boy Wu Junting and saw the glimmer of chemistry he had with the Female lead. The Main actress is really pretty she reminds me of Anna from Meov. What's also nice is that her acting improved as the drama was progressing, as long as she keeps it up, I can see her career getting better. I don't watch short dramas actually, this is a first and I am glad that this was the first. Some scenes were absurd but nothing too crazy, it is expected from a short drama, but the overall quality of it is nice. Especially the chemistry between the leads (it's what I came for) it was palpable and fun to watch. That long kissing scene of them was unexpected but fun, he was actually holding the FL by the butt, made me gasp, but that was fun to see just wish they didn't add the glass breaking in the sequence. The kissing scenes in general was nice. The plot is better in quality than most, it can get absurd but it's within acceptable range for me, can't really expect a masterpiece lol. If you watch it just for the romance then I'll recommend it. I also appreciate the one good ost they have, I catch myself singing it as it plays lol. Hope to see more of them in the future.Was this review helpful to you?

A beautiful drama to enjoy when you need romance in your life
I went into this one not expecting much since it's a relatively short drama (30 min/ episode) and all the episodes were aired on the same day, but I was really surprised to find out that it's a solid drama that I totally enjoyed!It shows us that among all the ugliness of the world that we face every day, all the greediness of the people and the betrayals that happen to us, even from our closest ones, having a few true friends and a partner that are willing to help you get back on your feet, learn to trust and love again - well, this is what makes life truly have meaning and beauty.
The story might not be the newest out there (girl is almost killed and comes back to get revenge and fall in love with her enemy's son), but what makes the drama enjoyable is the acting and the chemistry of the two main characters that manage to portray real love, loyalty and trust with their eyes, their dialogue and their actions - consistency and a clear plot do the rest.
The soundtrack is well-chosen and fits the key moments, enriching the atmosphere and helping the story feel complete.
Visually, it's one of the best short dramas out here, with careful attention given to the usage of light and shadows for maximum effect. Thumbs up to the designer for the main characters - their clothes rocked big time! The clothes really showcased their beauty and were a great match for each situation the actors faced.
All in all, I really enjoyed this drama, binged watched it in a single day, had fun discovering this story and the new actors that I didn't know before, but who made a beautiful impression (I will search for more of their works).
Give it a try if you feel like enjoying a beautiful love story that you can binge-watch to your heart's content ;)

chemistry INSANE !!!!!
I'm leaving a highly positive review because the entire cast and production team did an exceptional job on this series!The direction and sets are sublime.
The music is magnificent.
The kiss scenes and the couple's chemistry are undeniable!
The story is full of twists and turns because you never know who the real villain is.
There's even a cameo from the couple from MY LETHAL MAN, the drama we all loved!
It was incredible!
It's truly a 10/10 ++++++

Executed well. Chemistry is great! OST seems like part of the cast.
The story is nothing new, but few elements were added to the story that made it fresh a little, and added some depth. It definitely will hook you up and I binge these series. I like the premise that there is such a thing that is love so pure. It’s not weird that the FL - ML fell in love considering that they had a connection in the past. Their chemistry and slow romance made the drama better. This is something that I can rewatch. . The second leads are a great watch too, and their chemistry is also okay. All in all, the story was executed well along with the twists here and there. But what made this great is the chemistry of the leads. The ML is your pupply ML. I hope they’ll have a follow on drama. The acting of the leads and second leads are great. FL an ML both has huge potential. The music/OST seems like part of the cast. Haha! Timing is right.Was this review helpful to you?
JUST THE DRAMA I NEEDED NOW
An easy watch with lots of plots and characters including love, betrayal, murder, family drama and business ups and downs. The ML and FL were both perfect in their roles. Also liked the 2ML and 2 FL stories. I did skip through all the business jargon a few times as over my head but still kept my interest.Was this review helpful to you?

Don't Trust the Rating-This Drama Delivers Everything
Don’t be misled by the MDL rating, this drama deserves way more than a 7.8. Return of the Queen is pure, satisfying revenge drama at its finest. It’s cinematic, intense, and incredibly addictive. I loved every second of it.Yes, the plot follows some familiar revenge drama tropes, but it still manages to feel fresh and gripping. It’s the kind of story that makes you root for justice and enjoy every twist along the way. Honestly, this is one of the best revenge dramas I’ve seen.
The ending? So satisfying. Everyone gets the closure they deserve...except, of course, the villain. The twists, the romance, the execution everything screams cinema. I loved it. Definitely worth watching...
CINEMA.

É bom…
Gostei bastante desse drama, mesmo com alguns detalhes que me fizeram rir, como a protagonista que tem problema de coluna, mas em certos momentos pula no mar ou se joga em cima dele sem sentir nada. Em outros, a dor aparece do nada. Mas isso é fácil de relevar, porque a história vai muito além e é boa. É cheia de plots legais, com pessoas que parecem ser ruins mas são boas e vice versa.O que realmente encanta é a evolução do casal. Por ele ser mais novo e mais inocente, o relacionamento transmite uma sensação de pureza, mesmo com a intensidade física que eles compartilham. É bonito ver como os dois aprendem juntos, a confiar, a lidar um com o outro e a superar as feridas do passado, até porque ele vem justamente da família que destruiu a vida dela.
A amizade, a compaixão, a empatia e o respeito se tornam a base que os fortalece. E não só o casal cresce, mas os personagens em volta também. Cada um carrega suas próprias dores, mas ao longo do drama vemos essas mágoas se dissiparem, mostrando o quanto os vínculos verdadeiros podem transformar. Isso lembra muito o provérbio bíblico que diz que “há amigos mais chegados que um irmão”, algo que é real no drama pra mim.
O vilão é realmente terrível e acredita que as pessoas não devem viver de amor, mas os amigos e aliados mostram justamente o contrário e que juntos é possível transformar o mal em bem. (Graças a Deus).
No geral, achei fofo apesar de ser um drama de vingança e muito ódio, é envolvente e com um desenvolvimento muito bom. Vale a pena assistir!!!

Uma surpresa que fez meu coração pular uma batida!
Return of the Queen (2025) é um daqueles dramas que te prendem pelo peso da vingança, mas te libertam pela força do amor e da amizade. É sobre ganância, manipulação, mas também sobre descobertas, lealdade e a coragem de recomeçar.A protagonista retorna com sede de justiça e coragem para enfrentar aqueles que roubaram sua vida. Seu romance com Lu Zhi Yu é o coração pulsante da trama: começa entre feridas abertas e desconfiança, mas evolui para um amor sólido, de cumplicidade e entrega. É o tipo de relação que não nasce fácil, mas se fortalece no fogo da dor.
No início, pensamos que Lu Si Nan é o grande vilão, mas logo descobrimos que ele também é refém: manipulado e chantageado pelo próprio pai, que chega a usar o filho de Si Nan como instrumento de controle. É nesse momento que entendemos que a verdadeira escuridão da história não está nos filhos, mas na ganância destrutiva dos pais, incapazes de acreditar em generosidade ou amor. Até a irmã e o marido dela não são más pessoas de essência, mas se deixam levar pela ambição e pelas correntes pesadas dessa família.
Entre tantos jogos de poder, surge a força dos secundários: Ye Bo Chen, sempre tratado como fraco pelo pai, mas que mostra uma força genuína ao escolher a lealdade, e Líng Ke, a assistente e braço direito da protagonista, que não só a salva como se torna fundamental em sua jornada. Juntos, eles formam um casal secundário encantador, construído na confiança e no afeto. É nesse núcleo que o drama mostra que o verdadeiro poder nasce do apoio mútuo.
E para os fãs, há um presente especial: a participação do casal de My Lethal Man, criando uma ponte emocionante entre histórias e deixando o coração de quem já amava esse universo ainda mais aquecido.
O ponto alto do drama é quando tudo se revela: não era Lu Si Nan o inimigo final, mas sim o pai, símbolo da ganância e da manipulação. E é nesse choque que a protagonista vence — não pelo ódio, mas porque teve amor, amizade e coragem para se levantar.
A mensagem que fica forte depois do drama : O poder pode manipular destinos, mas é o amor que decide quem realmente vence.
.
A fotografia acompanha cada virada: fria e dura nos momentos de manipulação, mas suave e iluminada quando o amor e a amizade rompem o peso da vingança. tons frios e quentes para contrastar poder e vulnerabilidade. A OST faz o resto, marcando cada revelação com intensidade.
O ponto alto do drama está justamente no choque entre amor e dever, família e liberdade, lealdade e vingança. Não existe preto e branco: cada personagem carrega sua dor e sua razão, e é isso que faz a trama prender tanto. Essa virada transforma o personagem de "vilão frio" para alguém trágico e humano, mostrando como, em dramas familiares, nem sempre o inimigo é o indivíduo, mas a estrutura de poder e opressão que o moldou. É nesse contraste que o romance e a busca pela própria identidade ganham ainda mais força na trama.
Se você gostou de Return of the Queen, provavelmente vai se apaixonar por outros títulos que misturam romance intenso, segredos familiares e viradas de roteiro, como My Lethal Man, The Double (Peões do Amor), Mestre de Mim, Até o fim da Lua, Amor Como a Galáxia e até Florescer na Diversidade. Todos carregam essa mesma força de personagens quebrados que lutam para se reconstruir.
Return of the Queen não é só um drama, é um espelho do quanto o amor pode ser tanto prisão quanto liberdade, e de como escolher a si mesmo, mesmo entre lealdades partidas, é a maior vitória de todas.
