A comic delight and a josean parody !
This drama is a rare treat. The storyline is simple but what makes this drama special is the Queen herself, Kim so Yong is a character that will go down as a legend in K drama history. Every single scene in which she appears is full of excitement, fun and challenge.The only reason I am not giving it 10/10 is bcos of the last episode which was leading to the " scarlet hearth " road that possibly even scared otherwise such gutsy writers so they tried to change the direction at the last minute, hence people with rationality and feeling will really get awkward although hopeless dreamers might not even notice this!
All in all I will highly recommend this drama.

MWAH!!!!
This DRAMA can only be described in one word.... PERFECT!Well for me, this drama is veryyyyyyy fantastic, it just suits my taste...
The cast, the acting, ost, and plot is wonderful.
I can say this drama is WORTH watching, I really enjoyed this drama to the point tht I can watch it all over again.
Well yeah in simpler words, this drama is about a chef from the modern era, he got into an accident and time lapsed/time traveled into the past, wherein he found himself in the body of the soon to be queen, he tried many ways to come back but he couldn't, and then afterwards he got used to living there and got close with the king.
JUST WATCH IT AND TRUST ME, YOU WON'T REGRET SPENDING YOUR TIME WATCHING IT!!!!

Entertaining
I have watched both the original ( the Chinese version "Go Princess Go") and the Korean remake ( Mr. Queen). And I have to admit, I think I like the Korean one a little bit better. Don't get me wrong, the Chinese version is just as good. But I found the Korean remake to be slightly more entertaining.The Storyline- similar to the Chinese version, the FL ( a male at the time) is a selfish playboy who while running from someone, ends up falling into a pool which sends his spirit back into the body of a Queen (to be) of the Joseon Dynasty. And just like the Chinese version, he tries everything possible to get back to his time period. which brings about some very funny situations.
Prior to his soul entering the Queen's body, the Queen (So Yong) was disliked by everyone including the King. But the spirit in So yong's body, despite being rude and stand-off-ish, is somewhat kind and caring. This causes people around to begin to see the Queen in a new light. There is some love rivalry, but it doesn't last long enough to bother you and it doesn't get too heavy on the politics either. it is the perfect mix of mystery, comedy and romance.
The cast-I loved the cast in the original, they did a good job. But the Korean version's cast was just Awesome!
I had seen Shin hye sun in other dramas but wasn't as drawn to her in other dramas as I am am in this one. her ability to show a different range of emotions really made this drama light and fun to watch. Her character is the main comic relief in the drama.
I had also seen Kim jung hyun in other dramas but became a fan of his after seeing him in Crash Landing on you. The rest of the cast also did an amazing job.
I've seen some complaints about the ending but I think it was an ok ending. Everyone was happy in the end.

funny and very entertaining
this drama is so so so entertaining and very very funny, i feel like there's not a single episode which i didn't burst out laughing. it is very chaotic as well, love this drama in that part. storyline wise, i like the part about the female lead (bong hwan basically), while the political part was boring and predictable for me and that's the minus point... i don't feel like watching those parts and rather just 'pushing' myself to watch it. i'm only interested about the female lead. i swear i was having identity crisis together with her throughout the series. acting was AMAZINGGG, every single cast even the supporting roles are very very great. the last episode was a meh for me, imo they should've put more focus about the spirit swap because that's the best part. anyways i had a good laugh thanks to this drama. recommended if you need light, entertaining drama :)Was this review helpful to you?
Comedic couple
Mr. Queen. Hye sun made my day with this drama. I laughed a lot and the way she portrayed herself as a man is excellent. I loved it!!! 🥰🥰🥰 And the king is another great actor too. I keep on imagining jin hyuk as his lt whenever they're together as couple and it has made my day!! 🥰🥰🥰However the story plot is confusing and a rushed. I didn't know how their body merged as one. I didn't know how he got his body back. I feel like they rushed the story too much and they didn't give any answers as to how they merged as one and where did the real hye sun hide while jin hyuk takes over her body and the most important question!! Is jin hyuk gay now after going back to his own body??? 🤣🤣🤣 I'm really curious!!! 🤣🤣🤣
So, I'll at least give it an 8, since it made me laugh a lot.

Meu Dorama conforto
Vale a pena assistir cada ep de Mr Queen. Já assisti 5x e eu amo. Divertido, um toque de época e contemporâneo, sem muito romance mas com uma pitadinha de, família real... tudo que a gente ama junto é misturado.Sobre a Hye-Sun, a Rainha que troca de corpo, não tem nem o que dizer, essa atriz é perfeita. Os roteiristas não podiam ter escalado atriz mais convincente.
A OSH tb tem uma das minhas músicas top 10 de doramas, que é o tema do Rei e da Rainha 🤗
E no final a gente torce pro cozinheiro continuar no corpo da Rainha, mas tb sabemos que foi a melhor decisão ele retornar.

An incredible period drama
This has become for sure on of my favorite dramas of all time. I loved everything about it, the actors, the story and the setting. The only reason I can't give this drama a 10/10 is because of that last episode, I cannot agree with the way they ended the drama and honestly? It felt vaguely homophobic, the way certain characters reacted was also not in line with what we had been shown before. Besides that, I found the unsuspected comedy delightful, the chemistry between the actors and characters incredible, and I loved the roller-coaster ride the story took us on. Overall an incredible experience!Was this review helpful to you?

For BL lovers, I felt It's a low-key BL story.I believe what they felt for each other was definitely LOVE for the other person. That's why the ending disappointed me a little. Because the one the King fell for was not exactly the queen.
But overall I loved it.I'd highly recommend it.

A funny start to something greater
I've watched all the episodes so far twice. That's very rare for me.Because we're so early in this series the review will be shallow.
The lead actress, Shin Hye Sun, along with Choi Jin Hyuk, just sold me to this series outright. Great actors from My Golden Life and The Last Empress.
So far they're doing a great job, and the other leads are doing well as well, although only a handful of character are developed or developing.
But a series I'd recommend right away for anyone interested in watching something only new.

What to say, I am amazed. This drama had everything.
It is incredible how it went from having a joyful, funny tone, to a darker, more seriuos and intense one. I was drawn by the plot and fell deeply into the story.Some scenes caused me to laugh really hard, some scenes made me cry, some made me feel shivers down my spine and arms, some gave me fluffy feelings and some made my heart tremble. (the love scenes were just SO GOOD).
Suspense, plot twists, inspiring quotes and actions, as well as fluttering, cute, sweet, funny, hilarious moments created a perfect ensemble.
It also had beautiful themes like hardships, determination, friendship, love, loyalty.
I also really want to point out the phenomenal acting. THE CHEMISTRY really got me. At one moment I remember suddenly thinking "Wait a minute.. This is actually acting?" because they were so good that I forgot they were actors and not the true characters. They did and impressive job. And they depicted every character genuinely.
I didn't just grow fond of them... Seeing their bonds and how they develop and grow really touched me.
It had a lot of beautiful meanings.
Adding also the directing, every scene and different atmosphere were done very nicely.
In conclusion, it's one of the very few dramas that even though have an ending that doesn't really satisfy me, remain some of my absolute favorites.
It stuck with me still now...
I wish a beautiful "No touching" to everybody ;)

Good Show That Takes Itself Too Seriously
A remake of 2015's "Go Princess, Go!", Mr Queen is a production that clearly has a higher budget than its predecessor, and it shows. However, the show sometimes takes itself a little too seriously, and struggles to balance between the slapstick humour inherent in the original with the seriousness of the plot, which weaves in actual Korean history. That said, while the ending was a little too realistic for my liking, it was an overall satisfactory watch and the drama provided both leads with as happy an ending as it could have. Perhaps in another life, the main characters will be able to live life together as they should.For viewers that are looking for a more satisfying ending, I would suggest checking out the multiple endings filmed for "Go, Princess, Go!" and perhaps rework the storyline with your imagination as I often find myself doing. The main leads have good chemistry in this show, and it's overall a good watch!
