Lopa Mar 29 2026 9:51 am Casts are amazing. Their chemistry is so good. This is a crimexcomedy series. If you love that genre this is for you.

For every episode they are doing different scam. It's really funny.

As always, park min young is amazing.

Pmyfan Oct 19 2025 8:23 am Highly recommended. The trio has an amazing chemistry. No romance but very enjoyable. I laughed a lot. Hopefully, season 2 will become true.

Emerald V Oct 16 2025 7:09 am Top notch acting from all the casts. Love this drama sooooo muchhhhh… Too bad for the low viewing rate though. I enjoyed this drama immensely. <3 I loved Haha Jungho Fish Distribution Operation and Kang Yo Seop Operation best!

Roma Oct 14 2025 3:01 pm I enjoyed this drama so much. The trio had such an amazing chemistry. They even fooled the viewers. Such a fun drama. 10/10. Highly recommended.

butterscotch Oct 12 2025 2:44 pm The drama was so good and the chemistry between the leads so amazing. Park Min Young never disappoints. Can't wait for season 2. This drama is a gem.

dmuji Oct 12 2025 1:04 pm This was downright awful. The main character is annoying and unbelievable. How can you be so focused on revenge and yet have numerous breakdowns when you interact with your target. The motivations of the characters are nonsensical, especially that of the villain. The storyline revolves around a new charterer showing up out of nowhere to save the situation. The plot device used to wrap up the story is cliche and unimaginative. The ending is set up for a sequel which I hope won't happen. Park Min Young deserves better material to work with than this garbage.

YellowTulip Oct 12 2025 12:00 pm You alls... Please don't trust the rating...This drama is really really good... Very recommended... The trio are perfect... Their acting are really really superb... Waiting for Season 2...

happyeel Oct 05 2025 4:50 am if you've watched the Japan version, it'll be a lil bit boring to watch this, coz u already know what will happen. but I like the villains in Korean ver. ,so i continue watching this. but I really recommend to watch the Japanese ver. of drama, movie, and special episodes. you'll be overwhelmed by the stories.

Mythoughts? Oct 04 2025 11:07 am Question, have we found out what happened to Yi-rang parents yet? I’m not sure if they already had explain why she’s without oarents, if they did I missed it maybe, and it might be too early to ask and hopefully the writers will put that in the episode sometime later?

ForgetMeNot Sep 28 2025 1:53 pm I changed my opinion and decided to be a fan of PMY now. She is such an amazing actress and so gorgeous. Now I could see why she was casted because she perfectly fits the role. Everyone please give this drama a try. This drama is so underrated. Such an entertaining drama and the leads are so perfect. PMY is a gem.

ForgetMeNot Sep 26 2025 4:04 pm Not a fan of Park Min Young, but this role got me. The scammers end up scammed, there's identity theft and good old switcharoos where the victims get their money back in the name of justice... it's seriously fun because you cannot expect the next plot twist.

I just wish they had given the role to a new actress, introduced us to a talent with a career ahead of her. Picking PMY feels like cheating. Her fanbase will lap up anything she puts out.

pallavi Sep 25 2025 5:10 am this drama is very intriguing and fun love it so much

butterfly Sep 19 2025 3:38 am This drama is so much fun. They scam the bad people and help the victims. All 3 main leads are so good in acting. Park Min Young looks so beautiful and is so good here. I love Park Hee Soon and Joo Jong Hyuk too. Such an amazing trio. I kept on laughing throughout the episodes. Never a boring moment. Totally recommended.

Lisa Sep 19 2025 3:05 am This drama is so good. I watched the japanese version too and I love the korean version more. PMY is doing such an amazing job and the chemistry between the trio is so good. The ratings doesn't matter because this drama airs on a channel whose viewers are mostly elderly people. The channel didn't air any dramas for more than a year and most people don't even know a drama is airing. Moreover, the channel is known for political news and the viewers are very less as it is not a big channel like tvn or jtbc. Any dramas on this channel would have gotten lower ratings. The drama is doing well on Coupang Play where most korean netizens watch it and it is doing well on Amazon Prime too. People with small or 0 braincells will always cry seeing other's success and will stress about why they are offered dramas. It would be good if they did some research before spreading such lies. Anyway, this drama is very good.

Riri Sep 18 2025 11:24 pm This drama is so much fun. Park Min Young looks so beautiful and is nailing her character. I am loving everything about this drama. Very entertaining and very good acting.

Lucy Sep 18 2025 4:50 pm I'm trying to like this drama but can't!

Laura Sep 15 2025 5:38 am I find it very interesting and I can't wait for the mystery to unravel itself

Laura Sep 15 2025 5:37 am I find it very interesting and I can wait for the mystery to unravel itself

mike Sep 14 2025 7:45 pm i like PMY but i cannot stomach this drama. alot of things missing. seems they wanted to do drama on cons but also putting in some mystery behind FL and her reason. However it was done so bad that the characters are very shallow.

Blunt Sep 11 2025 8:46 pm Sorry, you can have the talent and beauty of Park Min-Young (and she definitely has those), you can be Lee Young-Ae or whoever your greatest Korean actress is, you still won't salvage a superficial drama like "Confidence Queen". The characters are as shallow as cardboard, and as a viewer, I can't tell if they are good people or not, and what their goal is. Do they even have a goal? They are cardboard cutouts.

Duke hyda Sep 09 2025 6:57 pm Yi rang is bad I just watched episode 2 few hours ago, the girl will back stab James and gu ho

Mister Moe Sep 09 2025 10:15 am I love Park Min-Young's work, like everybody does, but this role doesn't suit her. She seems to be trying to hard to play youthful, spontaneous, and high-energy. She's a great actor, but at this point in her career should be playing more dramatic and thoughtful characters. She was great in "Marry my Husband" and the role was perfect for her.

L Sep 07 2025 10:39 pm Watching this makes me miss the Philippines!!!!

seokjinie Sep 07 2025 8:28 am Wow ep1 is so good, looking forward to the next episodes..it's like the taxi drivers series

Mira Sep 07 2025 2:59 am Park min young Era is back.. Im loving the series so far

Wella Sep 04 2025 1:22 pm Came here for Song Ji Hyo. Didnt know she was only a guest. But still, this is soo exciting

Templar Simon Aug 17 2025 9:26 am Hhmmm...The Title is : Confidence Queen. Exciting trailer.

Cushy Aug 14 2025 4:16 am Can't wait for beautiful Park Min Young skills unleashed.
