I am walking out of this drama as a devoted fan of Shin Hae Sun. I cannot imagine anyone playing this role better than her, she does absolute justice and more to the character. She is great a depressed queen to be and even better as a man trapped in Joseon kingdom. Kim Jung Hyun was wonderful as well, his comic timing was not a surprise to me given his previous roles. Seol In-Ah is gorgeous. The side characters are memorable and endearing who lend beautiful balance to the ensemble.

I have religiously avoided historical dramas and the classic body switch trope because they tend to be very predictable BUT Mr. Queen brought its A game and I am a convert. Agreeably, it takes a couple of episodes to get into the drama but once you are there, it just continues to grow better with every episode. The story is presented in a manner where the viewer is bound to be engrossed in the plotline. It is generously sprinkled with comedy, romance, action and palace politics. The lead pair had BRILLIANT chemistry.

The drama has high production value with large scale and nothing less can be expected from a historical drama of this stature. The OST is beautiful and melodious, it just falls in place with the situations and enhances the scenery.

Mr. Queen is jam packed with amazing performances and enticing star cast with a fascinating story line and has a high re watch value. It cannot and should not be missed.
