Fair warning: there’s a picture spoiler ahead, so don’t click if you don’t want to know what happens in tonight’s episode. MBC’s Queen of Reversals has just been extended… AGAIN. They added two more episodes, taking the total episode count to 32. That leaves six more weeks for the drama to either make Hwang Tae-hee (Kim Nam-joo) fall in love with Gu Yong-shik (Park Shi-hoo), or else go down in flames. I’m thinking they’ll go with the first option if they know what’s good for them.
Okay, fine, that’s probably just my Second Lead Syndrome on overdrive. But really, what else are we gonna do for twelve more episodes if that’s not where this train is headed? I don’t even care if that’s not where you end up, so long as there’s enough romance to tide me over for the detour, if you catch my drift. (I lied. I DO care, but kisses make up for a lot, ‘s all I’m sayin’.)
To help things along in that direction, here’s a preview of what happens in tonight’s Episode 20:
EEEEEEE!
Queen of Reversals has been steadily ticking up in the ratings, and Monday’s Episode 19 hit 15% (AGB Nielson), its highest ratings yet. I have a feeling the kiss will make tonight’s ratings even higher, eh? The extension’s value is twofold for MBC: Queen of Reversals is growing its audience (now that the romance is kicking in, of course) and The Duo gets more time in pre-production, as its successor.
The news of the extension announced that the original extension for ten episodes was announced after the two-episode extension, bringing the total to twelve, not ten. Well whatever. Are there twelve more kisses? ‘Cause then I’ll keep count.

RECENTLY RECAPPED
really like this
Suddenly I remember about KSY kissing KSW (Kim Nam Joo’s husband) in one of movie clip xD
and now, PSH is kissing KSW’s wife.
I like to related it with Prosecutor Princess.
its soooo true
OMO! OMO! OMO!
Just wanted to add: episode 17 where PSH’s character becomes the “chauffeur” and KNJ’s character becomes the “president” is one of the funniest highlights of this whole drama for me.
The “kiss” is inducement enough for me to keep watching! Thanks girlfriday for all you posts on QoR. I stopped at episode 10 but started watching again because of your enthusiasm, and I’m so glad I did.
agreed. I am so glad there’s actually some forward momentum in this pairing.
At this point, I don’t see the point of TH going back to her husband. All of her chemistry is with YS. And, of course there is the fact that on K-dramas, the good-on-paper/doesn’t fight very hard for the girl because he’s too nice guy (her husband) always loses to the bad-on-paper/tons of chemistry/rude or stalkerish guy (Yong-Shik.) I hope they keep that tradition alive, at least until episode 30.
I like that drama because every one is so well acting , specially Hwang tae Hee ‘s husband : one of the best actors in k- drama ( he had not beeen that good in IRIS ) .And ther are relly funny moments .
Thanks girlfriday for keeping us in touch .
I want to scream “lips off my Park Shi Hoo” but then it’s him who’s planting his lips on Kim Nam Joo so I shall shout “lips off” on behalf of Kim Seung Woo hurhur. So want him to “lips off” yet get the girl coz my PSH love is screaming out for him to have a happy ending!
Awwwwww I spoiled It for myself…. I shouldn’t have clicked the link but….. cannot…. resist….. temptation…..
Curiosity >.<
Park shi hoo should get the girl!!! His character is sooo sweet!
i’m definitely agree. i love this couple as much as PSH and KSY in Prosecutor Princess.
YES !!!
finally this drama is going into the right direction
thank you writer, let the kisses keep coming xD
For me this is family Honor reloaded… the kiss there had the same scenery… winter, she was with the same haircut…and the guy was well… PSH
If PSH does get her in the end, it’ll be the second time his second lead has thwarted Kdrama tropes and won the girl.
Honestly, it probably has more to do with PSH being PSH than having a compelling character.
Which is the first one that he is the second lead and get the girl?
He won the girl in How to Meet the Perfect Neighbor. Which coincidentally was over Kim Nam-Joo’s real life husband.
I didn’t really like that drama… it was entertaining but the show was pretty annoying & long … PSH had very stilted, annoying (very unmanly in my point of view) character even though he eventually won the girl over from the main (intended) lead. I think it’s because his character was pretty boring, he was much better in princess prosecutor and Queen of Reversals =)
Wasn’t the change because he had more charisma compared to the lead?
If that were to happen, I’m sure KNJ’s rl husband will be raising his brows and saying “Why are you taking all my woman!?” Heheh.
LMAO!!!!!!!!! You make me laugh, haha so true
Agree with Leona! Family Honor is coming back to me! PSH is the best! <3 He better get the girl, but of course, it is PSH.
usually i don’t read/watch spoilers but OMG that kiss!
i’m wary about the on again extension but if they gave us a kiss maybe there is a chance for Yong Shik and Tae-hee end up together <3
Wow! This is very interesting. XD
YES YES. I’ve been waiting for this moment. Extension means = YS/TH is the endgame? If yes, then I’m all for it.
Gulp.I have been following QoR only on recaps.This kiss will make me watch it now
PSH.You.Are.It.
I realllly want her to pick PSH too, he is so adorable, and quite exciting when he gets all intense. I think she is finally getting out of that ‘I don’t see you as a man’ stage
What is the other drama where a PSH 2nd lead gets the girl? I have only seen one other drama where the guy I considered to be the 2nd lead (though that may have been my personal perception) actually got the girl, and I’m curious to learn about any others.
Another random question- who is the guy who plays the police officer? He’s cute…
agree! The police guy is really cute too!
I’m kind of worried that this series isn’t going to be able to carry its own wait . . . especially if it gets mired down in more R&D team vs Special Team competitions.
As for the romance, honestly, I’ll be happy no matter who she ends up with, Gu Yong-shik included (despite my propensity for leading men, I can’t help but love Park Shi-hoo). All I ask is that they keep the plot moving forward, and kick the love-rectangle up a notch!
(Also, for some reason, I’m loving that cop character. Gotta love a guy who goes after what he wants, despite the anti-stalking laws, lol.)
i’m so sorry that this out of topic but i just saw ep 20 of fugitve:plan b and it was sooo awesome i had to say it somewhere (no one in my house cares to listen)
BEST DRAMA EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
big reason i wasnt satisfied with queen of housewives is because KNJ ended up with her husband, her cheating husband -_-.. kind of. anyways it just didnt make sense
but now im afraid of starting queen of reversal because i LOVE PSH and if its like QOH then there’s no chance he’s getting the woman, but a kiss!! oh my this is major. and 12 ep extension could mean that maybe they’ll end up together?
please? pretty please?
I had to fast forward to the end to see the kiss right away! Is it just me, or does PSH look really really tired? Like he has enormous bags under his eyes . . .
Well, he almost always has bags under his eyes. It’s just more or less visible depending on the lighting.
It’s becoz he o got almost no sleep time or just a couple hours a day. This was what he said in the recent interviews…
OMG. 2 more episodes of Park Si Hoo! Am so happy.
I watch this drama as a filler. Fairly solid acting, but story is not that interesting. Even though there is no chemistry between the female lead and PSH, PSH is hot. I guess more scenes of him especially a kiss scene, are always welcome.
I’m ecstatic that it’s finally going to happen! After three near misses and that HOT sorta hug from behind at the grocery store, I didn’t think it was going to happen anytime soon. Go get it, Yong-shik!
Where’s the Kdrama where husband and wife DON’T finally get back together at the end?
A drama that includes an affair, then divorce, only to be led by either the ex-wife/husband planning to take revenge on their ex-spouse.
“EEEEEE” is right. I’ve been waiting for this moment… FINALLY!!
What! I thought he wasn’t the main character?
Does this drama focuse on him and her? If so, i’m going to watch it cause i love park shi woo
YESSSSSSSSS
i really wish they’ll end up together…
but, of course, he’s the second lead….*sigh*
hug from behind at the grocery store, please tell me which episode.. i will just watch that.
It’s in ep. 19, but it’s not really a hug from behind. He catches her fall and holds onto her a couple more seconds longer than necessary. Still hot, though.
the first thing i thought when i saw those pictures was HE REALLY LIKES TILTING HIS HEAD ON AN ANGLE WHEN HE KISSES HIS COSTARS.
and then i was sad it wasn’t PP.
I want to be she in that moment. PSH is so cute in this drama <3
MORE PARK SHI HOO PLEASE!!! aigooooo!!!
Love how he KISSES!!!
So it’s pretty much official that I’m the only one looking forward to Jung Joon Ho & Kim Nam Joo to end up together. hahah
I just love them together… I’m on episode 7 and I love their constant bickering. They’re so adorable. I just hope they’ll eventually find each other in the end… even though I accidently read a major spoiler that they divorced.
I just watched it! Hee, hee. Love them. Love HIM!
It’s finally happened!!! YaY! all that sexual tension. That is just GREAT!!! Go! Yong Shik, make her yours! Love PSH, he’s too charming!
unfortunately, It’s
*SPOILER ALERT*
a forced kiss. Eventhough in the second time, She didn’t pull him off…
*END SPOILER*
I hope they will kiss again in the upcoming episode and become a real couple, LOL….
SPOILER: It´s true but in the second kiss I think that she enjoys with it, even she closes her eyes.
OMG………………………………………………………………………………………….This is too good to be true! Please let PSH’s character ends up with KNJ’s. Please Santa I will try to be a good girl lol.
Thanks GF! You are awesome!
If PSH ends up with the lead character, then I’ll watch this
series. I don’t wanna start watching now and I end up
wasting my hours on a show that didn’t let PSH win the girl.
ditto!
my 1st thought was it was hyun bin n ha ji won! i need my SG fix!
Glad to see that I’m not the only one that saw Ha Ji-won in that 1st picture. I don’t have that Jo-won syndrome after all. LOL
this a video for a kiss scene…

whatever story goes
i really love PSH!!!!
i have loved him from judge princess
his smile is really cool!!!! @@@@
박시후 완전 멋있어!!! 대박!!
Gyah!! The extension of the drama has significantly reduced the believability of the drama’s story line. I like that PSY’s character gets the girl! That’s not the problem at all. The characters are acting so OOC that I simply stopped caring for them midway episode 18. They’re using every trite and cliche to keep the drama’s momentum going, but it’s so frustrating to watch because I really enjoyed the characters before they went awry.
I really want the supposed second male lead to get the girl, i didn’t like the husband in the start, though he became a better man after sometime. I was thinking, ok, if the hubby does love her, it’s fine. But somehow, the second lead male have slowly impressed me, I love the passionate love type, despite, he didn’t want to admit, he’s into her due to her age and marriage status. But he couldn’t stop himself from falling further in love with her. And he’s so cute when it regards anything about her. I find their relationship is more passionate than her and the hubby, as she chased the hubby, whereas this time she is being chased. Despite the hubby showed sincerity afterwards, but something is not working in their relationship. I also dislike the hubby giving false hope to the other girl, asking her to start afresh, just because the ex-wife said no to him. Then he goes on and asked the other girl, what’s up with that. The second male lead have stolen my heart, and I want her for him.
If it doesn’t happen, I will be so pissed and disappointed. I started watching mainly due to Kim Nam Joo. I loved her since MODEL. For me, both males are not attractive in appearance to me. But the charms of the second male lead had won me over. I also find the plot interesting. I like the this drama brings us closer to the other characters beside the main few. I like the special team. I find myself shouting a lot watching, and crying.
I didn’t feel the shouting excitement at all when I was watching MARY STAY OUT ALL NIGHT, SECRET GARDEN or MY PRINCESS. I still enjoyed those drama.
I hope the bad guys will get their punishment in the end of the drama, the older career lady and the older bro. Second male lead will get to live with his mother, and together with KNJ. The hubby should move on. I actually feel the hubby doesn’t deserved even the second female lead. The police guy was funny, cute and younger.
Now, after watching ep 28-29 with so so english subbing. I am frustrated that she will give up the second male lead for his sake and the special team members’ careers. And goes to aboard with the ex-hubby. I mean it’s good to get back together, if you still feel for each other but don’t do it for the wrong reasons and even for the kids, in long term, it’s not good for everyone especially the kids.
So frustrating with all the obstacles and meddling from the second male lead’s dad and the bad guys, and also the pushing from the ex-hubby and his mom.
Obviously, it’s true and big love for second male lead, he needs her. And she does love her, she is just afraid it will not last and she isn’t good enough for him due to her age and burdens (divorced and with kid).
Anyone know when 30-32 will be out …
