Confidence Queen (2025) – Kdrama Review & First Impressions

1. Title: Confidence Queen
2. Genres: Crime, Comedy
3. Starring: Park Min Young, Park Hee Soon, Joo Jong Hyuk
4. Episodes: 12
5. Airs: Sept 6, 2025

Park Min Young is back, but this time, she’s not your classic rom-com heroine. In Confidence Queen, she’s Yun I Rang, a 4D mastermind with a genius IQ and the confidence of ten CEOs combined.

She leads a ragtag trio of swindlers on revenge missions, targeting the “villains of this era” (yes, the drama said that).

The setup?
Three con artists from different walks of life form a makeshift Avengers—but make it scammer edition.

Let’s meet the crew: Cast

1. Yun I Rang (Park Min Young) – brainy, bold, probably a little unhinged, but in a fun way.
2. Myung Gu Ho (Park Hee Soon) – the cool uncle energy. Has seen it all, probably scammed most of it too.
3. James (Joo Jong Hyuk) – the baby of the group. Soft-hearted but a quick learner. High chance of being comic relief and emotional glue.

What We’re Excited About

1. Swindler squad goals – The dynamic already hints at chaotic fun.
2. Stylish crime meets comedy – Think The Confidence Man JP with Korean flair.
3. Park Min Young in a new light – Not your usual rom-com role, and honestly, it’s about time.

What Could Go Wrong

1. Con-artist dramas can get repetitive if the schemes aren’t clever enough.
2. 12 episodes might not be enough for good character development unless the pacing is tight.
3. It’s a remake—so comparisons with the Japanese original are inevitable.

Vibe Check:

If you liked Vincenzo, The Fiery Priest, or The Player, this might be your next chaotic binge. It’s giving sass, brains, and a touch of found family feels.
