Drama Digest

Queen Maker is a drama about Women, where two women who live a markedly different life join hands to create a world where justice and truth live. Queen Maker revolves around two leading ladies instead of the usual love triangle featuring a female protagonist, a male lead, and a second lead. Kim Hee Ae will reportedly play a top-notch and influential image consultant. Her character is the titular queen maker, a person who works to put someone in a powerful political position. Meanwhile, Moon So Ri takes on the role of a fierce labor rights lawyer who initially doesn’t plan to run for office but is convinced by the queen maker to be a mayoral contender.

The Feel Good Part

This drama is unique from all other usual dramas which involve a love triangle. The show focuses on two ladies who live different lives with various opinions but strive for the same end goal. For viewers who like different storylines other than usual k-dramas, Queen maker is a must-watch.

The Disappointing Factor

The drama lacks nothing. It has every required element. Viewers who prefer love elements may find this drama boring. Overall it is a perfect drama to watch and to know women’s power.
