"Mr. Queen" it's a time travel drama and also a body swap story. Bong Hwan is a chef that gets in an accident and wakes up in the past. To make things worse, also he wakes up in the body of the Queen.
There were so many hilarious things, that if I were to list them all here, it would be huge. I have to highlight So Yong/Bong Hwan dancing to Blackpink in the rain or her obsession with being with her concubines and feeling like a man again... or all the moments she made her culinary inventions that revolutionized Joseon.
I just think the ending should have been different, in my opinion Bong Hwan should have stayed in So Yong's body, not returned to his original self. I feel sorry for So Yong, but she gave up her life when she threw herself into the lake and Bong Hwan built a relationship with Cheol Jong, helped everyone in the palace and Cheol Jong only fell in love with So Yong after her "change". The two special episodes are light and fun, but they deviate a little from the direction of the drama's story, since even Byung In is all friendly with them and that was impossible to happen.
It has a very similar setting to "Moon Lovers" and that was one of the reasons why the drama grabbed me so much <3
It's simply a sensational production, whether in the characters, the main couple or the humor that is an essential part of the plot, but the main star who makes the drama a success is Shin Hye Sun, I think this was her best role so far now!
