Confidence Queen
What's the Story?
In CONFIDENCE QUEEN, Yoon Yi-rang (Park Min-young, Forecasting Love and Weather) and her friends have their fingers in different pots. When they're not chilling in their deluxe crib, they're on the run. At one point, they're involved in a casino, at another point, they're involved with a dangerous grifter. Some situations are a breeze for them, others bring them to the brink of survival. Can they help the people they set out to defend?
Is It Any Good?
Drugs, money, trickery, and brutality checker this upbeat show, and not always to good effect. Confidence Queen (based on the Japanese show The Confidence Man JP) has twists, charming characters, and lots of action, but it lacks a center.
Fans of heists can find better shows, though teens might be tempted to view this one. It has some cute moments, but many of the tropes have been played out before.
