Queen Hyun's Man was so very enjoyable that it's now amongst my top dramas right next to The Princess' Man. It's funny, with a very well written script, and extremely well directed; the actors played their roles most believably and were well suited to their characters. Lots of witty dialogue, intrigue and a couple of plot twists; oh and a fair bit of romance crying but there's a good ending.
One of the big pluses for me was it was a 'fantasy/romance' so the time travel element kept my interest and kept you engaged in the drama. The clever writing also helped to dispense with certain awkward adjustments in time travel movies by making the lead male very intelligent and highly adaptable.
One of the things I really liked about this drama was the easy relationship and intimacy between the two leads....there is a lot, and I mean 'a lot' of kissing between the male and female leads as well as skinship which, is not usual from what I have seen of KDramas. They looked very natural and believable as a couple so you were involved with their romance as it developed. You cried when they cried, laughed when they did and really shared their moments. This couple have lots of chemistry between them which worked well for them in the drama; at some points you wondered whether the acting had stopped and reality took over in the tender moments..that's how good it was.
The secondary characters were very good supporting actors in carrying out their roles and providing some comic relief. There were times though when I wanted to absolutely strangle Jee Hin's Manager for her high handedness. The pacing of this movie is adequate enough for a romance comedy and in fact I felt it moved quite quickly. The directing was of a very high quality and I shall be looking for other projects by the writers and director for this drama.
This drama is worth watching if only to see the chemistry and the romance between the two leads. No wonder they fell in love, who wouldn't with the amount of trust and closeness that has to be invested in the roles to pull them off the way they did. But it is more than the chemistry between the two and I highly recommend it. I intend to rewatch in the future.
