Mr. Queen

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!

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.

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!

This is a very good drama. I think kdramas are really trying hard to improve their skill in storytelling. As long as i remember until around 2019, they tend to switch their comedy genre to a melodrama thing when the story progressed and this kind of thing is frustated me when i watch a drama (imo this is happened quite often in saeguk drama). Because when i watch a comedy drama, i want to see comedy in every episode. I can tolerate some melodrama scenes, but only for side story and just to help the story progress.

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 :)

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.

Signori & Signore un'idea geniale per una commedia esilarante

Questo lavoro unisce commedia, romance e intrighi di palazzo con una buona storia e un buon ritmo narrativo.
Raramente vi annoierete o ci saranno cali di attenzione.
Un cuoco della "Casa Blu" (equivalente casa bianca in corea del sud) per un intrigo e invidie lavorative viene implicato in un tranello da parte dei suoi colleghi e suoi superiori così nel corso di un incidente per sfuggire alle indagini cade dal balcone condominiale, finendo in una piscina e in coma . La sua anima si trasferisce in quel momento nel corpo di una regina dell'Ottocento.
Inizialmente proverà a ritornare nel suo corpo originario cercando di sfuggire alle insidie di palazzo e ad un marito, il re, diffidente per le sue origini. Poi parte dell'anima della regina si risveglierà nel suo corpo e proverà a vivere la sua nuova vita riscoprendo lati della sua personalità e sessualità inesplorati... .
Il lavoro è spassoso e molto ben fatto, è molto leggero ma non per questo vuoto o privo di momenti di riflessione e serietà ma , almeno per me che provengo dai drama cinesi con finali tristi, non mi è sembrato né triste né drammatico e la gente non muore ogni minuto, non ci sono ecatombe o stragi e la personalità rinnovata di questa regina che ospita un'anima maschile è davvero stupenda: fresca, volitiva, priva di sentimentalismi, frizzante , moderna.
Ci sono delle parti molto interessanti sulle innovazioni che proverà a portare a corte: a iniziare dalla cucina, le moderne tecniche di cottura e i piatti che gustiamo oggi giorno, ho trovato molto interessante e bel realizzata questa parte. Così come aggiornerà le moderne tecniche militari o proverà i delivery express a palazzo, o i servizi di messaggistica con persone fisiche. Davvero molto bello e interessante.
Un po ' di freschezza e leggerezza che intrattiene senza inutili eccessi drammatici.
Una spanna sopra tutti per l' interpretazione a Shin Hye Sun,la protagonista regina, non penso che nessuno avrebbe potuto fare un lavoro migliore di lei. Era perfetta per questo ruolo, l'ha centrato in pieno.
L'intero cast è stato all'altezza, tutti hanno fatto un ottimo lavoro nell'interpretare ogni personaggio, la recitazione è stata molto buona e i tempi comici sempre perfetti.
Il personaggio del Re anche lui molto ben disegnato e credibile. La chimica tra i protagonisti era incredibile, era l'abbinamento perfetto. Ho anche amato i personaggi secondari e le loro interazioni.
Buone le evoluzioni nel corso dei 20 episodi, non troppo affrettate e tutte plausibili.

La storia era davvero ben scritta e realizzata. La colonna sonora e le musiche erano perfette e la fotografia molto buona.
Sceneggiatura discreta e scenografia abbastanza curata.
Finale positivo anche se effettivamente non è stata molto ben spiegata la convivenza delle due personalità, sembra che sia il cuoco a vivere con i ricordi della regina e quindi non si vede come i due coesistano per poi separarsi e tornare alle loro vite originarie.
La mia unica lamentela è che gli sceneggiatori non sono riusciti a rendere visivamente la logica delle due anime in un corpo, lasciandola all'immaginazione del pubblico. Nel frattempo l'intera storia d'amore tra King e So Bong crolla, lasciando un sentimento sospeso alla fine, come qualcosa di incompiuto... .
Altro neo: hanno insistito e caricato troppo il lato comico/grottesco togliendo intensità e credibilità alla coppia. Questi due insieme non mi hanno molto emozionato nonostante il feeling non comune mostrato , ho sorriso e tifato per loro e ho apprezzato serenamente la visione ma a parte due risate non mi son fatta. L'unico che mi ha un po' intristita e in cui mi son immedesimata è il cugino interpretato da Na In-Woo, il quale avrà tutto un decorso drammatico che stona un po' con tutto il drama . Quindi gli elementi non sono stati proprio fusi e ben coesi insieme. Per queste note stonate non do il mio massimo ma consiglio senza dubbio la visione.

A melhor comédia romântica do ano?

Entrou com certeza para um dos melhores dramas que eu já assisti. Sou uma amante de dramas e filmes de comédia e esse drama está perfeito. Em TODOS os episódios eu consegui me divertir bastante assistindo. E pra ser sincera, depois dos episódios especiais eu sinto cheiro de uma segunda temporada e no momento NECESSITO para sobreviver.

Não é meu primeiro dramas com os principais, e posso dizer que eles mudaram a imagem que eu tinha sobre eles (que era boa também) para melhor.

Shin Hye Sun teve uma performance incrível, ultrapassou todos os sentimentos pela sua atuação maravilhosa magnificamente. Eu ri, chorei, gritei de raiva, me decepcionei junto dela. Acredito que nesse drama ela se superou, conseguido colocar tudo de sí. Nesse trabalho ela juntou todos os seus anos de experiência em um só. E aqueles olhares com raiva na hora da vingança? Uau, apenas. Incrível.

Kim Jung Hyun, um ator versátil que conseguiu superar todas as minhas expectativas. Eu já conhecia ele por Waikiki e Crash Landing On You e sei o quão bom atuando em comédias ele é. Ver todas as cenas de ação, seus picos de raiva, o olhar vingativo e mais.. Foi inovador e surpreendente para mim. E eu amei, apenas amei ver o quão valorizado seus trabalhos estão sendo. Por que ele é um ator foda.

Eu não esperava muito do drama por que recentemente muitos dramas novos de "comédia" tem sido bem diferente para mim. Mas ainda bem que assisti esse, não me arrependo de jeito nenhum.

Eu estava preocupada com o final, por que muitas pessoas estavam insatisfeitas e refazendo o final no youtube. Então pensei que ia ter morte dos principais ou algo do tipo.

Foi um final bom, entendo o Bong Hwan voltar para os tempos modernos. Afinal, sempre acreditei que ele tinha voltado ao passado apenas para ajudar o Rei.

E pensei que assim como eu muitas pessoas tinham percebido que as não era só o Bong Hwan no corpo da So Yong, estavam os dois ali e eles trocavam e seus sentimentos se misturavam. Mas vi tanta gente falando da Rainha, que pensei até que eu estava tendo uma visão errada kkkkk

E apenas vou citar o meu ódio e pena pelo primo lá, o vermelho. Cara, se ela negou na sua cara milhares de vezes que gosta de você POR QUE insiste? Inconveniente e chato, porém não mereceu a morto que teve, afinal do início ao fim mesmo do jeito chato dele ele protegeu a rainha do início ao fim. Era um cara legal, merecia mais.

Court Lady Choi, A MELHOR. Todas as expressões dela me fizeram chorar litros de rir. Quando ela gritava "MAMA!", eu ria pra caramba.

Eu penso que uma segunda temporada com o mesmo elenco nos tempos modernos não seria loucura, seria um presente dos céus para nós. Assim como muitoa dramas de época onde envolvem viajem no tempo tem. E o final dos episódios especiais me deu a sensação que TALVEZ no futuro tenhamos algo do tipo e eu estarei aqui assistindo e apoiando.

E pra finalizar, a melhor ost.
BONG HWAN-NAAAA~~~
