Is Mr. Queen worth watching?
Yes — Mr. Queen earns a 86% Celluloid Score. Recommended, created by Choi Ah-il & Park Kye-ok and streaming on Netflix, Viki.
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.
Celluloid editorial verdict
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.
