An all time favorite
This is seriously my favorite kdrama of all time. I've rewatched it multiple times even tho it's pretty long lol... I wasn't a big fan of historical dramas before but this definitely changed my mind!I felt a lot of emotions during this. I laughed a lot but I also cried my eyes out lol... Idk how they did this honestly. The comedy was amazing and almost all the characters had funny moments. But then again, it was also very sad. My heart was genuinely hurting at some moments. It was definitely a roller coaster haha... It was the perfect mix between comedy and drama and that's a big reason why I love it so much.
I never felt bored while watching this even tho I get bored easily and often watch dramas at 2x speed haha... This was a longer kdrama but it didn't feel like it. I kinda wished it had more eps lol (that might've been too much tho).
The cast in this is incredible and I became a fan of almost all of them after watching this. I knew Shin Hyesun was a good actor before but she's truly an incredible actor. I became a big fan after this. I was really surprised by Kim Junghyun since I haven't seen him in a lot of dramas. He was amazing! I was also really happy to see Na Inwoo in this since I really like him!
I liked a lot of the characters, almost all of them. Obviously, many of them made mistakes and I disliked them at the beginning but they made up for it and I liked most of them at the end. I also liked how all of them were relevant to the actual story and weren't "forgotten".
The only thing I didn't LOVE was the ending. It was very bittersweet. I don't mind it that much though!
(I think I'll actually go rewatch it again now hahah)

Ode to Shin Hye-sun
Mr. Queen is a historical, gender-bender comedy that is extremely fun and definitely binge-watchable.I don't know the original works inspiring this one (both the webtoon and Chinese web series are known as "Go princess go") but I can tell that it functions well both as a parody (especially in the first episodes) and as a proper Korean historical drama.
The plot has the right amount of palace intrigue and power plays all experienced throughout the eyes of a 21st century man that effectively becomes the audience avatar.
His internal commentary is our commentary and, most of the time, it is hilarious.
Queen So-yong is the absolute protagonist of this drama and Shin Hye-sun rises to the challenge gloriously.
I've met her in Stranger and loved her character back then too.
She is versatile and talented with both perfect comedic timing and dramatic skills.
The romantic chemistry with Kim Jung-hyun (funny and sexy man whom I've absolutely loved in Eulachacha Waikiki and Crash Landing on You) is through the roof and they have steamy scenes that are going to make you laugh and blush at the same time. The supporting cast is solid (shoutout for Cha Chung-hwa and Jeon Bae-soo) although their characters are mostly just cartoonish comic relief.
The pacing is well sustained and it makes you forget eventual plot holes, however the gender-swap theme is the true weakness of this drama (and the main reason why my rating was lowered one full point).
Clearly Korean television deems the exploration of unconventional romance (namely a possibly gay relationship) as too controversial. Jang Bong-hwan's return to his reality was rushed, perhaps to avoid any consideration on said romance. Pity, because I was very curious to see how his emotional growth, resulting from experiencing the world in a woman's shoes, translated to a male, modern environment.
Female Empowerment Score 2/5: the only kickass girl in the series is possessed by a man. The evil queens are either petty or blinded by the fear of aging. The king's first love is an insecure liar who at least is able to redeem herself towards the end (and secure the second point on this score).

A comic delight and a josean parody !
This drama is a rare treat. The storyline is simple but what makes this drama special is the Queen herself, Kim so Yong is a character that will go down as a legend in K drama history. Every single scene in which she appears is full of excitement, fun and challenge.The only reason I am not giving it 10/10 is bcos of the last episode which was leading to the " scarlet hearth " road that possibly even scared otherwise such gutsy writers so they tried to change the direction at the last minute, hence people with rationality and feeling will really get awkward although hopeless dreamers might not even notice this!
All in all I will highly recommend this drama.

MWAH!!!!
This DRAMA can only be described in one word.... PERFECT!Well for me, this drama is veryyyyyyy fantastic, it just suits my taste...
The cast, the acting, ost, and plot is wonderful.
I can say this drama is WORTH watching, I really enjoyed this drama to the point tht I can watch it all over again.
Well yeah in simpler words, this drama is about a chef from the modern era, he got into an accident and time lapsed/time traveled into the past, wherein he found himself in the body of the soon to be queen, he tried many ways to come back but he couldn't, and then afterwards he got used to living there and got close with the king.
JUST WATCH IT AND TRUST ME, YOU WON'T REGRET SPENDING YOUR TIME WATCHING IT!!!!

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.

funny and very entertaining
this drama is so so so entertaining and very very funny, i feel like there's not a single episode which i didn't burst out laughing. it is very chaotic as well, love this drama in that part. storyline wise, i like the part about the female lead (bong hwan basically), while the political part was boring and predictable for me and that's the minus point... i don't feel like watching those parts and rather just 'pushing' myself to watch it. i'm only interested about the female lead. i swear i was having identity crisis together with her throughout the series. acting was AMAZINGGG, every single cast even the supporting roles are very very great. the last episode was a meh for me, imo they should've put more focus about the spirit swap because that's the best part. anyways i had a good laugh thanks to this drama. recommended if you need light, entertaining drama :)Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
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.

Excelente para ver en Fin de semana
Es una historia que te hará reír, pensar más de lo debido y te mantendrá atento al no saber que pasará y eso hace divertido y agradable de disfrutarla.Eh pasado los mejores dos días viéndomelo siento que ya los extraño por la química entre la historia los personajes y los actores, de verdad te hacen apegarte a sus personajes y odiar como se debe a quienes por las buenas interpretaciones.
Me divertí reí mucho por lo cual es algo digno de disfrutar como siempre TVN y studio dragón solo saben hacerlo está duples solo realiza arte, por eso no duden jamás de ver cosas de Studio Dragón porque son arte.
Una historia de seguro que repetiré por lo genial de sus personajes y elocuencias que hace tiempo deseaba ver en un drama de cambio de cuerpos, espero este sea el inicio de más historias así que si dejan satisfecho creo que a las mayoría de los espectadores.

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!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

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.
