Celluloid Verdict
A body-swap farce with unusually sharp palace politics underneath. Shin Hye-sun's performance is a comic tour de force, and the show is smart enough to let the romance sneak up on you.

What is Mr. Queen about?
A brash, womanising chef at the presidential residence hits his head in a swimming pool and wakes in the body of a young Joseon queen. Stranded in a palace of poisoned tea, rival dowagers and scheming in-laws, he keeps his modern instincts and his very modern mouth, cooking his way into favour — while the husband he never wanted turns out to be quietly building a rebellion of his own.

Critic Reviews
Mr. Queen (2020) Review: A Chef Takes the Joseon Throne
★★★★½
Mr. Queen puts a brash modern chef inside the body of a Joseon queen, a 20-episode Korean farce with sharp palace politics and a star turn from Shin Hye-sun.
Yes. It is one of the funniest historical K-dramas around, best for viewers who enjoy broad comedy and court intrigue and can forgive some crude, dated jokes.
