Confusion
It was a very good gl, the acting and writing was well done. Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me find any chemistry between the leads. They were cute and technically their story works really well but I just couldn't get into them.I was very much more impressed by the other couple, nothing against the main actresses, they did so good, acting was immaculate.

Worth a shot!
I was originally not going to watch this show because I do not like body swap tropes but I caved in anyway because it was a GL, and I enjoyed most of it. I was not totally in to the kiss scene(s) where they were still trapped in each other bodies but I can look past that. I loved the dynamics between all of the characters like Print's family or the girls with their managers, although towards the end I started to wonder, "Do they not have any other friends besides their managers and that one dude?" I was not a fan of the ending honestly, it felt sorta rushed but the little wedding was pretty cute. Overall, the story was decent, it didn't impact me in any particular way but it was cute and chill for the most part. I loved Wanmai and Saifon as the second couple, they were messy and it was a really fun contrast between them and Print and Rey. The backstories for each of the main four characters were quite interesting and I honestly wished we had seen a little bit more of Wanmai and Saifon's past together. I really hope we get to see PamArhoung and LinnPraew as maybe fixed pairs and see them in future projects because they have such good chemistry!! This show is totally worth the watch because there will definitely be something that you will like and for me, that was Wanmai and Saifon!Was this review helpful to you?

Pretty good overall, no problematic plots or behaviour for the most part. Music editing and choice was good but sometimes just the most unfitting music was put on a scene that cheapened the whole scene or just made it feel off. Camera work isn't anything crazy it's just good. Was a pretty good series, I like that there weren't crazy plots or the annoying miscommunication trope and them arguing and having issues every other episode. very peaceful show and loved them toogether. it was so peacfull it was odd to me almost haha im so used to over dramatic thai gls. i liked this one a lot, they have oretty good chemistry but sometimes scenes were written as f they don't know each other well or are in early stages or the way they'd talk to each other felt that way. was odd.
good show regardless, would recommend. even tho it's peaceful there is a good plot to keep you engaged, i didn't feel bored.
also wasn't expecting scenes to be mildly freaky but go off. kinda funny the shift from cute to that and back to cute.

Incredible Plot, Underwhelming Ending
Although I really liked the premise of the series, I was disappointed by the ending. The last two episodes felt too rushed. Rei's mom suddenly solving all her issues with her daughter was unrealistic. The three-year lapse after Prim signed her contract with the Korean agency was barely noticeable. The girls' engagement and marriage felt a bit forced. Sometimes going for what the audience usually wants is not the best decision.Anyways, let's now talk about the good stuff. The kissing scenes were incredible, and don't get me started with the intimate moments! I think it was one of the few GL's that showed a different kind of intimate moments (if you know what I mean) and I was soooo into that. Whoever came up with those ideas, I know what you are.
I would recommend this show, nonetheless. I had a great time watching it.

Inédit, attachant et doux
Une intrigue inédite, des personnages attachants, un rythme idéal et vous obtenez ce chef-d'œuvre qu'est Queendom.Une belle série feel good sans drama inutile avec un très beau duo de protagonistes ArhoungPam et sublimé par la performance de Linn et Praew.
Côté histoire, un pur régal avec ce scénario fantastique qui nous sort des sentiers battus pour nous proposer une romance tout en douceur et en rire.
Grâce à tout ça, Queendom a sa place dans le top3 thaï GL de l'année 2025.

My first Thai GL! Off to a good start
Queendom is my very first Thai GL that I finished and I'm glad it was a good one!The story has a fun premise: enemies to lovers also they swap bodies!
The rest of the drama is fun and it's cute. So cute and adorable. What I love about the main pairing is that they share so much casual intimacy that you'd expect from a new couple that I feel like not all Thai shows show.
The acting is good, especially considering they don't have THAT much experience yet. They had great chemistry.
The side couple is cute, too.
What REALLY bugged me were the last 1.5 episodes though. The story line was suddenly completely rushed, one of the major problems was resolved just like that and it just wasn't good writing. Since the story line isn't too complex, it's not tooo bad but still not good.
Overall, a very good beginning into Thai GLs, I'm excited to watch more!

Surprisingly Refreshing
I usually don’t bother with romcom shows because I never find the comedy aspect of them funny, but this one has pulled a few actual laughs from me. Even if most of the comedy is physical (my least favourite).If you’re interested in watching two girls slowly become friends after their souls are switched (the sort of lengths I’d go to if I wanted my arch nemesis slash crush to spend time with me), then this is the show for you. As I said, there’s a lot of comedy sprinkled in that keeps it all fluffy and lighthearted for the most part, but in a way that I don’t find too corny or overly done.
I didn’t think I’d be that interested in the romance aspect of this show, or rather I didn’t think I’d be able to get my head around the whole body switch thing, but it was kinda easy. The two lead actresses have nice chemistry and it feels like they play off of each other’s energy well.
The secondary couple’s story isn’t bad either, so it’s really a two for one deal.
My criticism…I can’t really find any to give right now. The pace is slow (for a GL series) but it helps build the story up along with the tension. Episode 6 had me giggling and kicking my feet. Happy I gave it a try, you should too if any of the above mentioned catches your eye.

In my opinion, it is well made, and the chemistry between the actresses is spectacular.
There were many funny scenes, alternating with more dramatic ones.
It is a drama that you can watch over and over again and never get bored of. The secondary couple is also well developed. The music is used at just the right moments. The final message of love is very beautiful.

Most Developed Plot out of all the series I’ve watched
What drew me to this series is a clip of ReyPrint’s kiss scene in EP6. Everything about their first kiss is perfection for me. The dialogue before the kiss; the way they stare at each other; the camera angle; the lighting; the bgm; THE FREAKING GIGGLES at the end!!! 😘I started watching EP1 immediately after that. I was hooked. 🤯 Because of the way Print was looking at Rey even though they were supposed to be enemies at the Workshop scene. Then the switch happened. ARHOUNG AS PRINT IS GOLD!!! 👑
I think the production did well with the casting. Arhoung as Rey really gives a serious experienced actress looks. Pam as print really looks like a fun influencer/idol. SWITCH IT UP: Arhoung’s comedic expressions/acting as Print really is MVP! Pam’s serious/dismissive/cool/high maintenance demeanor really embodies Rey’s character. It’s insane how they act each other’s character! Casting hit 💎!
Other than that, out of all the GL series I’ve watched this year, Queendom has the most DEVELOPED plot/storyline for me. Everything: the beginning (their rivalry), how they slowly doesn’t want to admit that their rival’s life is not that easy as they seem to think, how they came to an understanding, became friends but STILL bicker (I love this part), how they fell in love, how they’re still in each other’s body, how they DON’T BREAK UP because of a homophobic family member (like any other series I’ve watched), how they switch back but still have problems to deal with, how they deal with those problems, and FINALLY the last EP doesn’t disappoint. No sudden characters were redeemed at the eleventh hour. EP1-EP12 everything was well thought out. The story progression felt organic. KUDOS TO THE WRITERS. 👏🏼
Of course it’s a Romantic Comedy series with a spice of Fantasy. The director, the editing team, the sound editor: everyone did their job really really well! The wardrobe department is also deserving of praise! Damn those fits! Every character looks good! 😍 The make-up too! I love that whenever they’re at their house, their make is toned down, and gives them natural look. The hair also isn’t unrealistically perfect every scene. When they just woke up, or Rey was pushing Print by the forehead, it is not immaculate and fixed. Adds realism to the scene!
I didn’t know what I was getting myself into watching Queendom. I was not prepared to become so obsessed with it! Honestly the marketing is a bit lacking because I didn’t find out about this show until the middle EPs were already airing. That’s why I think it’s so underrated. But I honestly think Queendom deserves to be popular and may they achieve many awards.
Also found out that the main couple (Arhoung & Pam) is not from the same company, so they’re not a fixed ship. 😭 WHY??!! Eye contact! Smiles! Hugs! Hand-holding! Kisses! CHEMISTRY is INSANE! Watch their chemistry audition! You’ll see! 🙏🏼 If there’s even a little chance for Arhoung and Pam to have another series together as the main CP again, whoever has the power please I’m begging you. 🧎🏻♀️
Queendom shot straight to the top for me. I don’t think I was disappointed at any part of this series. And I’m a multi-stan. But I’ve been disappointed by the writing/editing/directing of my fave ships/actresses before. Not this series though. This is a feel good series! That I keep rewatching and rewatching because I can’t find anything that satisfies me like it does.
Queendom’s plot about living the life of your most hated person in the world. Understanding their struggles in life, realizing you’re one of their struggles but you don’t have to be. Completely seeing the whole picture and inevitably falling in love with them. At the same time realizing that your own life is not the one you wanted to live anymore. Or the one you want to get back to. But your rival (the one who supposedly hates you more than anything) is actually the one that tells you there is a lot to your life to celebrate and love too. And helps you achieve the life you want to live.
To me Queendom is not just about learning to love your enemy. Most importantly it is about learning how to love yourself too. Try to look at it from the eyes of the one who hates & loves you the most. This is why Queendom is top for me.

Queendom: a refreshinly cute enemies-to-lovers story with a Freaky Friday twist.
Print and Rey have been competitors from a very young age and come together in a very cute version of the age-old enemies-to-lovers plot.Queendom executes beautifully on the promises made in the trailer, leaving plenty of room for twists and turns to keep it interesting. It's a romantic comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously. High production values and good writing make it easy to gloss over the occasional less-than-believable moments.
The body swap twist to this story forces the girls to live in each other's worlds as they interact not only with acquaintances but also with each other's families. This plot device is used to excellent results as Print and Rey both find significant personal growth while living each other's lives and providing the opportunity to see the pressures and downsides to others' lives as well as the enviable parts. Setting them up as mirrors for each other so they can see themselves and each other more clearly, ultimately leading to them resolving the misunderstandings that underlie their rivalry. At the same time, it provided plenty of comedic moments that kept me giggling.
It's a rare thing for a gl to avoid the Yuri trap. You won't find cringy overdone tropes of internaized homophobia, "I didn't know I liked girls," etc. It's not full of all the red flags found in so many early GLs either. The challenges the girls face are mainly about learning to trust and communicate, and to recognize the struggles they each have experienced. Let's have more stories like this, please!
The supporting characters of Fon and Mai were very good, while I don't know if there is potential to spin them off in their own series, the actresses should be paired in another series.
If you can suspend disbelief for the body swap and enjoy a heartwarming feel-good romance, Queendom might be for you. It has definitely made its way into my list of re-watchable stories, and I sometimes find myself searching out specific scenes when I need a little emotional lift.
