Mr. Queen

Sakahira Riku, a first-year high school student, is jokingly pushed on the shoulder by his friend Tasaki while swimming by the pool, and falls into the pool with Mizumura Manami, who is next to him. The next day, when he wakes up, he finds that his body has been swapped with Manami's. Both are confused and try everything to get back to normal, but nothing works. They are forced to desperately exchange information about their families, friends, club activities, etc. in order to play the role of each other.

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…

Suzuri Kanna is married to Suzuri Kakeru. After 15 years of marriage, Kakeru suddenly dies in an accident. Prior to the accident, their marriage was going through difficulties and they were on bad terms with each other. Now, Kanna is about to start her new life. At that time, she obtains a way time travel through time. She travels to the past and she meets young Kakeru, right before she met him for the first time. Seeing the younger Kakeru, she realizes that she loved him and she falls in love with him again. She decides to save him from his death that happens 15 years later.

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.

There’s a soul swap and tidbits of time travel in Mr. Queen; a modern male’s soul wakes up in a female body where he has to get used to her life as a soon to be queen while uncovering secrets from her past. Whereas in My Girlfriend Is the Man the girl turns into a guy while still having to live her normal life, with a boyfriend and all. Regardless, I’d say that both both dramas dabble in similar theme ; would you still like your lover if they one day turned into someone/something else and does gender really matter over their personality/soul? I wouldn’t say either of these tackle the questions they pose in any grandiose way, so don’t expect anything thought provoking, but it’s still a fun exploration of the theme with quite a few comical moments.

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!

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 .
