Camelot

Queen In Hyun's man was a pleasant surprise for me. Usually when I watch time travel dramas, and I have watched almost all of them at this point, I prefer them to take place in the past. I also usually prefer when the female lead is the one doing the time traveling. This drama reversed both preferences. Queen In Hyun's Man married some of my favorite tropes, actors, and genres into one perfect sugar coated blend of romance and drama.
First let me talk about Yoo In Na. I love her. It was this drama that made me love her. That is a huge accomplishment. I am notoriously harsh on kdrama actresses and before Yoo In Na did not really have a favorite. But thanks to this drama I can now say that Yoo In Na is my queen of dramaland. Now for her in the actual drama. I loved how soft-spoken yet strong Hee Jin was. She works incredibly hard but also clearly enjoys her job and doesn't let it get in the way of the rest of her life. She doesn't allow people to belittle her or her achievements and readily calls out things she sees as unfair on set. Yet, she is also understanding and willing to accept the unexpected. It is a combination of these qualities that allow her to connect with Boong Do. Boong Do too is a character of note. He is proper to a fault, as befitted his time, intelligent, yet readily silly and funny in turn. He too knows who he is and where his loyalties lie. His devotion to the real Queen In Hyun is admirable and elevates him to a knight worthy chivalry. He compliments Hee Jin in all the right ways and their romance felt genuine and soft. This couple can also lay claim to one of my favorite kisses in dramaland. (This is probably because Yoo In Na and Ji Hyun Woo were dating for much of the production but nevertheless they delivered a genuine romantic feeling). I found myself blushing throughout much of this drama. It was sugar sweet almost all the way through. And even in the parts where the sweetness gave way to bitterness or sadness one could always feel the underlying love between these two characters.
I loved this drama and wish more dramas could be this simple and sweet. It leaves you with a good feeling and full of hope for love and life.
