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 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.
