Rainha Cheorin (2020)

Same strong sassy female lead matched with pretty boy counterpart.
Refreshingly humorous , just enough court intrigue to keep you engaged, topped with a dollop of envy. Even the bad guys are likeable at times!

Both dramas have strong and tomboyish female main characters who lived under strong confucianism tradition that limits their freedom. Both of their characters are very ahead of their time. The difference is that the FL in Mr. Queen is actually a modern male soul trapped in FL's body

Both shows are period dramas revolving around court intrigue, but are also hilarious comedies. Both shows' female/male leads are very unique, funny, and adorable who are also deep, thoughtful, and clever people.

Jang Bong Hwan is a South Korean chef who has risen up the ranks to cook for the country’s top politicians in the Blue House’s presidential residences. After a serious accident, he finds himself in the body of the young queen, Kim So Yong, when whisked away to an era deep in Korea’s past.

While Queen Kim So Yong’s husband is the reigning monarch, King Cheol Jong, he is so in name only. The late King Sunjo’s Queen, Sun Won, has taken advantage of King Cheol Jong’s better nature, and is ruling the realm in his name. And she faces competition from her own brother, Kim Jwa Geun, who also has designs on power.

Queen Kim So Yong will come to discover that her husband harbours some secrets, and is not as gentle and meek as he seems…

Both shows share the same energy and a few of the same actors. Please watch both to be the judge? It's almost canny. I get a sense of where the show will go based on similar dramas, but Mr. Queen definitely gives the same vibes.

They are similar in terms of:
- They're both are in historical setting (to be precise, in kingdoms)
- Female Lead is knowledgable about food and they're known to make such outstanding and revolutionary food/culinary that were praised by other characters in the drama.
- Female Lead is in the situation where they are forced to marry Male Lead
- Female Lead is reluctantly to do skinships with her partner, and her partner doesn't force her to do so.
- Female Lead doesn't know etiquette inside the Palace
- Female Lead is smart (not academically, but more of a street-smart type or witty)
- Male Lead is pretending to be not who they actually is (in Mr. Queen, the King pretended to be dumb and weak, while New Life Begins 6th Prince is pretending to be weak and is trying to lay low on purpose)
- Male Lead chases Female Lead first
- Both dramas are very comedic
- Both dramas are light hearted, not too much melodramatic elements
- Both dramas showcase the life of a man with concubines (in Mr. Queen the FL is a queen, while the concubine is evil side-character, on the other hand, New Life Begins FL is a concubine)


The differences are:
- Mr Queen is a fantasy RomCom drama while New Life Begins is a normal RomCom drama
- Female Lead in Mr Queen is strong headed and badass, on the other hand, New Life Begins Female Lead is more timid
- In Mr. Queen, FL can only rely on her husband and her maid servants, but in New Life Begins, FL is actually making sisterhood bonds with a lot of females - the wives and concubines of the Princes.

Both female lead travel back in time.
They have a lover in current time and an admirer in the past time.
Funny comedy
There is a water scene where the female lead floating in there on both

Both dramas feature:
- An unconventional queen that is not easily bullied, street smart, tough, and charming.

- A king that is outwardly weak and cowardly, but hides their strength and intelligence. Both also care deeply for their countries.

- A lead couple that initially were forced into marriage against their wills, but eventually fall in love.

- The MLs are both first aloof characters that seem to hate the FL. But later become jars of vinegar for their queens ?.

- An old villainous minister like character that controls the royal court and rivals the king.
-Slapstick humor that will keep you laughing out loud.

- Side characters that provide good support for the leads, as well as humorous side stories for the audience.

Key differences between the two dramas:
- Mr. Queen is more fantasy based since the FL has soul swapped with a time-traveling man. While The Legendary Life of Queen Lau has slight wuxia elements when it comes to fight scenes, but overall it's not really a fantasy drama.

Both are about time travel. In MQ he falls into a swimming pool and is transported back into the past and switches bodies with a Queen that had tried to drown herself. I thought it was a great series.
In IFYLITA-the male lead gets in a car accident and falls into the river. He wakes up in 1920's.

Both involved identity swap. Modern became historical. Great acting. Great production. Fun watch. Must watch

Time travel
Adapted from novel
Soulmates or fated to love!
Interesting plot.
Historical romance connected to present life!

Food!

That's really all I can say. There's a lot of food. The mains in both are chefs. The stories both have love triangles.

Main characters are reborn into the past as a powerful figure and use their knowledge of future to make decision in a power struggle inside an empire, one literal empire and one mega corporation empire. However Mr Queen is male to female body while Reborn Rich is male to male.

The storyline is quite different but the Genre , Theory and Historical Times might be same .
It's also about the female queen like Mr.queen .
- It's funny
- It has great actors
- Storyline
-Strong Female Lead
Am surely gonna watch it you should also give it a try and if you like it go for Mr.queen
