Dangerous Queen

It sounds like a fanfic written by a lesbian preteen who has a thing for evil CEO women.

The series has an energy similar to the films "365 Days," "50 Shades of Grey," "After," and "My Fault"... Where a rich person becomes obsessed for no reason with a poor person who is very stupid and/or pathetic.
1))) The production: It's not very good, perhaps because it's a small production company, but the songs end abruptly in the first few episodes, and the series' original music plays ALL THE TIME, we get tired of it... and the sound quality is poor (both the noises and the voice itself sometimes sound strange; they didn't adjust it in post-production or re-record it to improve it). This doesn't bother me much, but I thought it was relevant to mention here.
2))) The acting: Bo and Queen always have a blank expression, and in Bo's case, she always looks like a silly girl from the 2000s. The acting of Bo's mother and Kem is very good, we really hate them in the plot.
3))) The story: The two protagonists don't have a "romantic story." Queen is simply bossy and self-centered (she improves a bit at the end), and Bo is uninteresting and lacks her own opinion. Honestly, the relationship between Bo and her college friend is better developed than the romance between Queen and Bo, which seems more like an obsession on Queen's part to "have Bo" all to herself.
4))) Important points to highlight: Bo managed to be sold 5 times in this series... 5 TIMES! Congratulations, not everyone can achieve that.

Some Quality Inconsistencies, But A Great Story Nonetheless

Dangerous Queen had several technical imperfections throughout the series, mostly to do with sound inconsistency; please do not let this discourage you from watching the show. TK and Nur have great chemistry and I personally believe their performances deserve applause, especially since this is TK's first series. I know some viewers were not a fan of the long stares, but to me this was a great display of longing.

As for the story, I think it was executed well. It was believable to me, the viewer. The one and only redemption arc at the end of the series seemed realistic to me. Though the sins of that person were not wildly egregious, so it was much easier to forgive them. The story had great pacing, I don't remember experiencing any lulls; it kept me engaged.

Also, the last episode in my opinion was not rushed, which is great to see, as it is something that often plagues GLs which have an episode count that is on the lower side. It is probably the best finale I have seen in a GL; it is usually where amazing GLs lose the audience due to the production team wanting to wrap the series up in a neat little bow.

If it weren't for the technical difficulties, I would give Dangerous Queen a ten, but hey, for the first GL Snur has produced, it was not bad. I hope they create more and improve in the future. I would love to see TK and Nur in a series together again.
