Queen Cheorin (2020)

this is the perfect drama to relieve your stress

Every episode of this drama will guarantee to make you smile. Shin Hyesun's acting is just so amazing. Actually, every actor of this drama perfectly fits their role. What I love about this drama is that it did not sacrifice the plot just to make the audience smile. Some comedy dramas doesn't have a stable story because their only focus is to make us laugh but that is not the case for this drama.

The reason I did not give this a perfect score because the last episode seems shallow. It feels like they run out of ideas and decided to cut the 19th episode into two to make it 20 episodes. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed this drama and I highly recommend it to everyone. If you want to relax and just watch a light drama that will make you laugh, then this drama is perfect for you.

Top Tier Entertainment - Heavy dose of Comedy and Romance in the Backdrop of Palatial Politics

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.

High Bar for Story Telling and Direction

I was so skeptical to start this show for so long. The name seemed stupid and body swapping has always been dumb in my mind. Furthermore, the male lead seemed like a incompetent person doing illegal stuff in modern times so I refused to give the show more than 10 minutes of my time. But it really changed my perspective slowly and steadily.

The depth of the show is hidden in its meanings. As a man it is hard to empathize with women often due to their need for lack of real world responsibility such as work and taking on risks that man take on a regular basis; however, as this time a man was on a woman's shoes it seemed different. With time the guy felt comfortable in her body and situation and started to take charge in situations even while acting as a man. And then I found out that actually a woman is not really different than us at least not too much. We have the same concerns and we would act kind of in the same manners.

As the guy merged with the queen as the episodes passed it seemed natural and when the leads fell in love it did not seem gay at all. This has to be one of the triumphs of K-drama in recent years. I can see the concept failing spectacularly in the hands of most directors. I have to praise the quality of the story telling and the depths of most characters in such a short drama. I often complain on how redundant most C-drama has become with filler episodes with nothing happening in between. This show really pulled its weight and will be a high bar for story telling and direction.

Muito bom!

Comecei a assistir Mr. Queen durante o lançamento dos episódios mas parei porque a comédia dos primeiros episódios foi demais pra mim na época. Porém, resolvi retornar e dar uma nova chance dois anos depois e, sem sombra de dúvidas, foi a escolha correta.

Os primeiros episódios começam com uma comédia bem forte durante quase toda a duração deles e se você não curte muito assim como eu, aconselho a dar uma chance, vá um pouco além e tenho certeza de que vai se surpreender.
Com o passar dos episódios a comédia fica mais secundária e série se torna mais séria e envolvente.

Consegui odiar alguns personagens durante a série toda e terminar gostando deles ou chorando por eles, é realmente impressionante.
Não fiquei decepcionada em relação à comédia, nem ao drama e nem ao romance, que foi extremamente bem construído, além disso a química do casal é incrível.

(spoiler!)

Se fosse para reclamar de algo seria apenas do último episódio, pois apesar do Rei ter gostado da Rainha original antes, ao meu ver ele de fato amou o cozinheiro que entrou dentro do corpo dela, assim como o cozinheiro o amou.
É triste ver o cozinheiro sozinho no final lembrando de tudo e sem ter conseguido se despedir, além da cena do Rei falando que sentiu que "perdeu algo" enquanto olha para o dicionário.

Have to watch this funny history drama even when you don't like history drama

I liked everything about this series and I am so sad that it is over and at the same time it has accompanied me in everyday life in a lively way.

The main characters play so great and have a good chemistry. The secondary characters are so endearing and funny. The poients and the humor are consistent and yet there is also something to cry and cheer about.

I still have the soundtrack in my head.

The only downer for me was the ending with the main female character who had suddenly become so weak. I felt cheated for King Cheol Jong. The special comforted me a bit, but I'm not really satisfied with it.

Gente, que dorama histórico maravilhoso! Já entrou pra minha lista de favoritos.
Eu nunca ri tanto com um dorama quanto com esse, ele é muito engraçado e tem umas cenas muito sem noção. Mas também o dorama não tem só comédia, tem um romance perfeito, ação e muitas intrigas dentro do palácio e que envolvem política.
Foi muito bem feito, e, apesar de o plot ser clichê (troca de corpos), a história foi bem trabalhada e fugiu do óbvio. Fora isso, a atuação de todo o elenco é excelente, os personagens foram muito bem interpretados. E eu tenho que falar da Shin Hye Sun, ela dá um show de atuação, esse foi o trabalho dela que eu mais gostei, ela atua tão bem que realmente parece ser um homem, de longe essa foi uma das melhores protas que eu conheci, por ser muito divertida, louquinha e dona de si.
Por último, eu amei esse casal, eles são perfeitos juntos, têm muita química e são muito fofos, eles demonstram perfeitamente o amor que um sente pelo outro.

Drama blue prints are made of this

Mr Queen has everything that makes a drama; you will laugh until your belly ache, you will cry, you will get angry, you will have anxiety, and there is moments of disbelieve. This all is then rounded off with a bitter sweet ending. Nothing could have been done better! We are a firm believer that the cast made this drama what it is. No one else could have done a better portrayal of the characters. The OST is perfect. It's a drama we can binge watch everyday. If you love Joseon era and comedies, you'll enjoy this drama. What stood out for us was the storyline. There is none other like it. We hope you do give this drama a chance. It's the best binge watching you'll ever do.
