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.
