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.

LAUGHTER ROLLERCOASTER
The show was hilarious, emotional, and with good politics. The chemistry between the leads was amazing. FL did a great job convincing me she was a man at times; even I forgot that it’s a woman. I still don’t know how I feel about the ending, though it was bittersweet, but it’s the best they could’ve come up with.In short a must watch. 🧚✨

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!

But Mr. Queen is very good with consistency, and i really like that all of characters have been layered. I love that they have motivations for doing something, so i believe them as a human being because that's what people do in real life. Also, the FL always shows her best in her drama. I can see her as a different person in each of her dramas, and that's showing her talent as an actress. As for the ML, this is the first time i saw him in a drama and i can tell that he can act, and his acting is good. I really hope they will be pairing again in their next project, because the actor can balance his acting with hers.
If i could complain, it's just the ending. There will be no spoiler here, but i may say that the ending will be better if the ML didn't say one particular line hehe. Still, i recommend this drama if you want to watch a comedy in saeguk era :)

One of the best dramas 2020 has to offer
I laughed a lot and cried too. I gave it 9.5 because the ending left me a bit disappointed but I don't know why. It had a great storyline and the perfect cast. It was good to see Shin Hye-Sun. She is one of the best actors. She played the character so well. The antics of Court Lady Choi (Cha Chung-Hwa), Kim Hwan (Yoo Young-Jae) and the other side characters made the drama so much more interesting. This drama also showed me a few actors I have never watched before. Great drama overall and definitely recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?
for the few males looking for answers before diving in...
yes. the chef male lead does turn gay.i hesitated a lot with this drama here is why...the drama introduced us to successful and very much straight male only for me to realise half way thru they were going to decide to make him gay (in the queens body) which is a complete curve ball and an unpleasant one at that. i dropped the first time when i first discovered it, when it was coming out weekly as the story was not showing signs of the males lead involvement (in his original form) a year later ive decided to pick it back up as i never fully gave it a chance and now with all the episodes out i could make a sensible decision.
by the end of ep1 and 2 i was reminded of why i dropped it in the first place the thought of making a straight male gay suddenly didnt sit right with me not because i hate the concept of gay love but cause its unrealistic asf specially since in his first scenes we literally see him being intimate with a woman secretly in a storage room. the writer goes a step further to REASSURE us that he straight. by him LAMENTING not being able to encounter all the woman he had planned to meet. Going from that to finding himself involved with the king romantically is so forced at least to us non-BL lovers. ive realised all the recommendations FAILED to include that important piece of information. i wouldnt even consider that piece of information a spoiler since it has little to no impact on the plot most of us already knew this was rom-com drama when we pressed play. but apparently it was subtle BL rom-com something ALL THE RECOMMENDATION REVIEWS FAIL TO MENTION. probably cause most of em are females who actually indulge in BL stories. long story short i wrote this so u get answers and dont have to read several reviews to realise the CHEFs romantic interest is the KING.
