I loved the premise of this show so much. I have watched many other fusion sageuk with time travelling as the plot but I have never come across a 'male to female body swap' kind. This was something new to me and I was very interested in how the story will follow. This had a very good quality of humor and heart.

Everyone in the cast did an excellent job. I am in awe of their effort and performance in here. Bias aside, because Shin Hye Sun is one of my all-time favorite Korean actresses, she nailed this role perfectly. I truly believed she has a man inside her body. In that specific scene where Jang Bong Hwan has left the Queen's body, through her magnificent acting, I already knew JBH is not there anymore. Another outstanding performance is from the Kim Jung Hyun. I know he is good but I didn't know that he is THIS good. All the other supporting characters too. May it be for comedy or drama, they did amazing.

The music was also well delivered. No music is overplayed and we can hear quirky music when it's comedy time and we can hear a heartbreaking music when it's a sad scene.

Now as to why I didn't give it a full 10 mark is because I was hoping that JBH would stay inside the Queen's body. I don't actually disagree with how it ended. I think it ended perfectly as it was and no cliche reincarnation thing happened as it always does with these kinds of dramas. Of course, me hoping that JBH stayed in the Queen's body is a personal feeling. I am aware of the possible outrage it may cause because it will in a way be BL-ish and general public (esp in Korea) would not be very welcoming of the idea.

JBH inside the Queen's body for a happily ever after is my greatest 'what if' & I think it's kinda tragic that the King wasn't even aware that he fell in love with someone else (a MAN trapped in a woman's body at that!) and not the Queen herself.

Still, my greatest 'what if' did not diminish the great happiness this series has given me. I will still highly recommend this to anybody.
