I adored Queenmaker and am so looking forward to another season! And although I hated his character, I gotta admit that Ryu Soo-young did a fantastic job switching from being a victim/token husband to a villain.

He was sooooo smarmy and good! I kept wondering if he'd have a redemption arc. Nope! LOL

absolutely love your list and would add one more??? Dear My Friends? the senior actors in that drama are all so compelling. finally finished Queenmaker and the husband is convinced Kingmaker is coming for Season 2!

I haven't watched Dear My Friends yet. It's on my list, but the only place it's airing is Tubi (with ads). I'm hoping it moves to a streaming service I subscribe to eventually.

I think Season 2 will still be Queenmaker...but I like the way your husband thinks. 😂

I loved Mine! While I am normally annoyed by any character that Ok Ja Yeon plays... she was surprisingly relatable in this series that I was practically rooting for Hi Soo and Ja Kyeong to join forces against Ji Yong.😅

LOL! I agree! She is really good at playing those characters you love to hate!

Loved Under the Queen's Umbrella and Thirty-Nine. I've seen previews of Queenmaker and after your review, I'm excited to see it even more.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It was one of those shows where I kept saying, "Just one more episode..." which turned into two, and then three and then... lol!
