Good Enough

Korean Drama " Mr Queen " is clever, interesting and original. The drama builds up the story slowly but steadily, using the comedy element to keep things interesting while doing so.

One of the best things about the drama is the leading lady. The actress was spectacular, shifting from one personality to another with ease and acting splendidly in her comedy scenes. She also had good chemistry with her partner.

The male lead was, in addition, pretty great, dramatic when he had to, funny at other times and dynamic at others. He also acted the action scenes well.

The rest of the story was entertaining, with a nice blend of comedy, romance, drama and historical-political action. And even though the romance is unconventional, it was well built and had a smooth pace.

As for the ending, it wasn't perfect, but I guess it was the best they could do under the story's circumstances.

So, overall, nine out of ten.

Listen, I will never not LOVE Mr. Queen. I stumbled upon it waiting for another episode of another drama and I was trapped. The comedy lands!!. ALL the characters were interesting. Most times I catch myself forwarding other K-Dramas with supporting characters because they aren't as interesting, but nooooo not Mr. Queen. EVERYONE was so good. The ROMANCE!!!! *Chefs make-out session* This drama will have you laughing so hard, falling evern harder and crying because its over. The main actor and actress- I now search for EVERYTHING they are in because it was perfection forged into 20- 1hr + episodes. I will be actually purchasing the DVDs when they come out. Mr Queen is the top tier and I highly recommend this.

This remake of Go Princess Go is highly rated and didn't disappoint. I wasn't sure how I will react to this drama, since I loved the low-budget original due to its "It's so bad, it's good" campy vibes, but this one sure brought it on. Despite my lukewarm feelings towards actors Shin Hae Sun and Kim Jung Hun in their other productions, they gave amazing performances here. They shone as individuals and gelled together as a couple. Their backroom politics and courtyard antics are both engaging and funny.

Supporting characters are multi-dimensional, and portrayed by a talented cast. You can tell that this is a big budget production, from the set & scenery, to the costumes, to the attention to detail, and everything in between. The comedic timing was spot on, and even the over-the-top brewing love story between the Head chef and the Queen's consort provided additional comedic relief. The array of food in the show is also quite impressive so if you are into mukbang shows, political intrigue sprinkled with a dash of rom-com, this drama is for you.

Currently at episode 7. I remember starting the first episode a long time ago. The idea was interesting, but I found it really boring, so I dropped it. After months, I decided to pick it up again. There were many scenes that I had to skip because of how embarrassed I was feeling. After episode 2, it's so fun. I wish we had more FLs like this—who are really smart and genuinely funny! I don't think the King loved the FL before. In these last two episodes, he seems to have changed, but I don't think it's because of love, but mostly guilt. He feels guilty because she tried to unalive herself. The concubine at the start seemed to be a good character, but as the story goes on, she becomes more "bad."

After the "FL" went back to her world, it became so boring to watch. I skipped a lot, but after episode 14, it seems to be getting good again.

I just finished it! Before sharing my overall thoughts, I want to say that one of the main reasons I dropped this was because I had seen many people saying that the ending was bad. The ending it's kind of bad but i guess i expected better. Another thing I saw many people discussing was whether the King, at the end of the day truly loved her. I think I would say both yes and no. I need to think about it more and read other people's opinions to decide. Overall, this was good, and I don't regret watching it, but I believe 20 episodes weren't necessary. It doesn't feel dragged, but I'm not sure. This was good, but there were a lot of scenes that I skipped. Also, i have watched many kdramas of the female actress. She did such a good job!!

ini drama sejarah yang kalau diulang-ulang terus gaakan bosen sumpah serame itu.. biasanya suka males sama drama yg genre joseon/historical gini karna suka ngebosesni+konfliknya selalu masalah politik yang sama sekali aku gangerti. tapi ini drama beda karna konfliknya bukan dari sisi politiknya aja tapi darikonflik sikarakternya Amale & Bfamale yang ga sengaja bertukar jiwa jadi ke jaman joseon dan ini ngakak banget.. apalagi bisa ngeliat reaksi orang orang di jaman sejarah makan-makanan jaman modern kapan lagi coba bisa liat drama dengan genre sejarah/historical gini bisa bikin kita terheran-heran plus terngakak ngakak

THE BEST

Mr. Queen is my first experience watching a historical kdrama and ever since i’ve watched it, i feel a constant void that no historical kdrama have filled soo far.. It’s simply the best historical time-travel body swap kdrama that there is.

Initially, i thought it was just a historical comedy but the royal place schemes and secrets had me sitting on the edge of my seat. They incorporated main character’s cooking skills into the story in such a brilliant way. The macdonaldo had me choking. The drama is fast paced and every episode ends on a cliffhanger. I was blown away by the plot twists . And 20 episodes never felt this short before. Usually I get bored around episode 10 of a kdrama but this drama is the exception.
Apart from the story, acting is top notch especially by our Queen. Absolutely lover her badass attitude. The king did well too. Our lady choi deserves a chef’s kiss. Top level comedy and top level chaos. A 10 /10 for sure.

Definitely well scripted

Never a fan of historical dramas but watching this because of Shin Hye Sun. I loved the comedy element of this drama. It is great that Jo Hwa Jin managed to pull herself back before she went down the wrong route, that is definitely a plus point for me.

But i wished that the the queen kim so young had a little more character after switching back, although i did see a little of Jang Bong Hwan in her! Definitely love the friendship between the palace maid, court lady and the the queen!!

Definitely a great drama to watch! Not one episode was boring! There are equal parts of romance, intense and comedy in this drama so whats there to not like right?

Will leave you laughing

I have rewatched this show several times now because it brings me such joy and entertainment. The first time I turned it on I actually was having a very hard time getting through the beginning and turned it off. But on my second attempt I forced myself to get through the first episode and then found myself hooked. Now I like to rewatch it by fast forwarding to all my favorite parts to get some smiles between other dramas.

The two main characters really shine here, especially So Yong that pulls off playing a man in a woman's body so hilariously well. From the way she speaks and the inflection in her tone to the way she moves her body, her acting here is superb. Even Cheol Jong was convincing as the spy hiding behind the spoiled puppet king persona and he grows on you with each passing episode as he grows and changes while interacting with the Queen. You don't take this show seriously at any point but it is just fun. The character development is executed so well and the pacing of the storyline keeps you interested and moving forward.

This is not a show you watch for accuracy, believability, or depth but for pure enjoyment and that is exactly what you will get out of it. You'll laugh and have fun at the interactions between the King and Queen and at the over the top ways the show pokes fun.
