I’m still pretty new to C-dramas—this was only my third one—but I already noticed a few tropes that seem to pop up a lot. Even so, they didn’t feel too cheesy or overused. Instead, they actually made the drama feel fun and kind of familiar in a good way. It was fun being able to recognize some of those patterns even though I’m just getting into this genre.
The humor really worked for me too. There were several laugh-out-loud moments, and even the smaller jokes and awkward situations were genuinely funny. The chemistry between the cast was great, especially between the leads. You could tell they had a good dynamic, and it made their scenes feel natural and believable.
Overall, I’d give this drama a solid 10 out of 10. I didn’t expect to get so into it, but it completely pulled me in. It’s one of those shows that leaves you with a smile on your face, and I already know I’ll be rewatching some of my favorite scenes. If you’re just getting into C-dramas like I am, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try. It might just turn you into a fan.

My top Drama
Mr. Queen is one of the wildest, funniest, and most entertaining K-dramas I’ve ever watched—and that’s saying a lot. From the very first episode, I was hooked. The concept is already ridiculous in the best way possible: a modern man ends up in the body of a Joseon-era queen. That alone should tell you you're in for pure chaos.What makes this drama stand out is how well it blends comedy, historical setting, and unexpected emotional depth. I was cry-laughing almost every episode. The humor is sharp, the timing is perfect, and the main character’s inner monologues had me wheezing. It somehow makes palace politics, power struggles, and gender-swapped identity crises feel hilarious but still meaningful.
Now let’s talk about the queen—because she is everything. I didn’t expect to become so obsessed with her character, but she completely stole the show. She’s bold, unpredictable, and absolutely iconic. I couldn’t take my eyes off her, and by the end, she officially became one of my all-time favorite K-drama leads. I seriously want her energy in my life.
The rest of the cast is strong too, with great chemistry all around. Every character brings something to the table, whether it’s humor, drama, or mystery. And while the show is laugh-out-loud funny, it also has layers that sneak up on you emotionally. I didn’t expect to feel so invested in everything, but suddenly there I was, emotionally spiraling.
If I had one tiny wish, it would be for a slightly different ending—but no spoilers here. Just know it was still satisfying, and I’d rewatch this series in a heartbeat.
Bottom line: Mr. Queen is chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt. 10/10 would recommend, especially if you’re looking for something totally unique and unforgettable.
