The best historical comedy !!
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. The story was more about the chef surviving in the queen’s body and figuring out ways to go back in his time but the way he gets tangled in the politics was insane and soo well written. Plus incorporation of his cooking skills into the story for his survival was such a brilliant idea. The macdonaldo had me choking. Plus the chef in queen’s body kept hitting on court ladies and 2nd female lead was soo hilarious. Like he kept in character till the very end. The actress did a brilliant job and nailed her role.
The drama is fast paced and every episode ends on a cliffhanger. I was blown away by all 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.
