Captivating!!!

The one thing I liked about this drama is its ability to draw you in. Each episode leaves you wanting more. Korean dramas rarely delve into dramas that have to deal with mental illness and disabilities. This drama does a great job of bringing such topics to light. Filled with funny, emotional and romantic moments, this drama is bound to have you hooked.

Every character, from the main leads to the supporting, does a good job of captivating the audience. And each episode has its own arc that it deals with.

Captivating from the very beginning!
We are introduced the main characters immediately and you get to know the important ones and the ones that will be written off. The storyline is pretty new-ish and fresh.
A guy with unknown origins trying to figure out who he is and we find out at the same pace as he does. A girl he met when he was younger, who believes that he is the murderer (of her parents) that she has been searching for.
While trying to search for answers together, they fall in love. Which kind of makes everything go spiraling from then on.
It was just 12 episodes long but around episode 9-10 I began to feel a bit annoyed with some of the characters. Wishing that they could just end it already. But the last episode redeemed the whole series.
Overall, Not a bad watch!
South Korea usually does a great job with their sci-fi/supernatural series, and they didn't disappoint with this one. OCN is usually the broadcasting station that does this type of shows, so this is my first time watching such a series on TVN.

Entertaining

I have watched both the original ( the Chinese version "Go Princess Go") and the Korean remake ( Mr. Queen). And I have to admit, I think I like the Korean one a little bit better. Don't get me wrong, the Chinese version is just as good. But I found the Korean remake to be slightly more entertaining.
The Storyline- similar to the Chinese version, the FL ( a male at the time) is a selfish playboy who while running from someone, ends up falling into a pool which sends his spirit back into the body of a Queen (to be) of the Joseon Dynasty. And just like the Chinese version, he tries everything possible to get back to his time period. which brings about some very funny situations.
Prior to his soul entering the Queen's body, the Queen (So Yong) was disliked by everyone including the King. But the spirit in So yong's body, despite being rude and stand-off-ish, is somewhat kind and caring. This causes people around to begin to see the Queen in a new light. There is some love rivalry, but it doesn't last long enough to bother you and it doesn't get too heavy on the politics either. it is the perfect mix of mystery, comedy and romance.

The cast-I loved the cast in the original, they did a good job. But the Korean version's cast was just Awesome!
I had seen Shin hye sun in other dramas but wasn't as drawn to her in other dramas as I am am in this one. her ability to show a different range of emotions really made this drama light and fun to watch. Her character is the main comic relief in the drama.
I had also seen Kim jung hyun in other dramas but became a fan of his after seeing him in Crash Landing on you. The rest of the cast also did an amazing job.

I've seen some complaints about the ending but I think it was an ok ending. Everyone was happy in the end.
