Unmarried Queen (2021)

Interesting Premise With Potential

I am always looking for dramas with strong female leads and this drama's plot caught my eye from the beginning. I wasn't sure about trying it because of the length of the drama (42 episodes!) but gave it a try nonetheless even with my doubts.

The drama began with a strong start by introducing us to the characters slowly and I could see where the plot was going. The first 10 or so episodes were actually really interesting and entertaining (with some good laughs), but it started going downhill from ep 15 onwards. The romance line was developing very slowly although the other storylines were still decently paced. However, halfway through the drama and the plot was got slower with more filler scenes and some scenes that didn't seem to make sense. By that point, I just skipped through those scenes and kept watching. BUT I was disappointed at how the story ended. I would definitely not recommend this unless you have nothing better to watch and lots of time to spare. This drama would be good to watch while eating or when you don't want to think too much.

The strong female lead fizzled out towards the end by making very illogical decisions and being somewhat weak. For example, that wedding she did for the celebrity was a complete risk yet she took it because she wanted to bet on it. She was so rational and logical before but suddenly the miscarriage left her without her brain?? I just couldn't understand what kind of decision making process she was using to agree to do that wedding. And then she lost everything after the wedding fell through. The romance also built up super slow with none of the typical boy chasing girl but instead the characters somehow suddenly fell in love with each other, which I could somewhat see possible since they were working together for so long. It would have been nice to show more moments of them falling for each other rather than going straight to it because of their baby. I liked the couple so that was sad to miss out on the process.

Some illogical scenes were how the female lead's friend did not know she was dating the female lead's ex-husband. If they were so close, how is it possible that the female lead never mentioned her ex-husband's name? Or that she never saw that picture of them two together in the female lead's house? (because I saw the photo in her living room)
