Mr. Queen: a Marvelous Historical Rom-Com Drama | A review

๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿ‘‘⚔️๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒ™❤️‍๐Ÿ”ฅGet ready to be transported to the Joseon era with a modern twist in 'Mr. Queen' - a hilarious K-Drama that will keep you laughing and curious!



            ๐ŸŽญMr. Queen is a Korean drama Sageuk (historical drama) with historical, dynasty, romantic, and comedy genres. This drama airs from December 2020 - February 2021 on Netflix and Viu. It is set in the Joseon Dynasty. The main characters are played by Choi Jin Hyuk as Jang Bong Hwan, Shin Hye Sun as Queen Cheorin or Kim So Yong, Kim Jung Hyun as King Cheoljong, Seol In Ah as Jo Hwajin, and Na In Woo as Kim Byeong (So Yong's cousin). The story revolves around Jang Bong Hwan, a famous chef in the modern era whose body was mysteriously swapped with a queen in the Joseon Era.



            ๐ŸŽญIt starts with Jang Bong Hwan accidentally jumping from his apartment into the swimming pool and he sees the vague figure of a woman dressed in Joseon-era clothing in the swimming pool. Then, he woke up in the body of a woman in ancient times, that woman was Queen Cheorin also known as Kim So Yong. Initially, he is skeptical of this sudden change but gradually he can adapt to his new body. The palace ladies are surprised to see Queen Cheorin suddenly act like a man and cook modern dishes, which is due to Jang Bong Hwan's presence in her body.



            ๐ŸคดOn the other hand, King Cheoljong was a king who had good intentions to help his people, but, hid his true identity. Even though he is good, King Cheoljong apparently has a mysterious side and he is considered a weak king. It turns out he has a secret that only Queen Cheorin knows. Jang Bong Hwan then used this opportunity to help King Cheoljong and Queen Cheorin fight for justice amidst the feud between the powerful parties in the palace.



            ๐Ÿ‘‘As time goes by, Jang Bong Hwan and Kim So Yong finally help each other and find a new meaning in life. And what makes it complicated is that Jang Bong Hwan is starting to get used to being Queen Cheorin and starting to like King Cheoljong, and vice versa.



            ๐Ÿ’˜This love story becomes even more exciting amidst the many problems in the palace. Like King Cheoljong who is still in love with Jo Hwajin, his ex and slave child. Apart from that, Kim Byeong experiences unrequited love for Queen Cheorin. However, the real Cheorin only likes her husband, King Cheoljong. So, yeah, this is a pretty complicated love story. And happily, finally, King Cheoljong was able to start loving his wife, Queen Cheorin again and have a child.



         ๐Ÿ’˜Mr Queen is a very enjoyable drama and very good to watch. This drama changed my perspective about boring Sageuk dramas. But it turns out it's not boring at all, this is the first Sageuk drama I watched and I really enjoyed it. Apart from the complicated royal story, this shows a lot of the humorous side of Queen Cheorin, whose body is the spirit of Bong Hwan, and the touching story between Cheorin and Cheoljong.

          ๐ŸŒˆMaybe according to some people, Mr. Queen contains a slightly controversial element, namely LGBT because it features a man in Queen Cheorin's body falling in love with the king. However, I don't think that's the right thing because what is highlighted is the love story of the Queen and King. That's just a step forward to it, after all, at the end of the drama, Queen Cheorin's real soul re-enters her body and has a romance with King Cheoljong. Jang Bong Hwan returns to his modern life after recovering from his coma. So, it's still safe to watch. This is just my opinion, moreover, this is still debated by some people. On the other hand, Shin Hye Sun and Kim Jung Hyun are very fit to be paired as the best Kdrama actors. 


๐Ÿ‘€If you want to watch a historical drama that isn't boring, Mr. Queen is the best choice!๐Ÿ’“
