A lot of repetitions in the story, depression and disability not explored enough

I have watched some amazing time-travel k-dramas hence comparisons will be made. Beginning episodes really captured my attention because it focuses on some important topics like depression and disability. First episode was personally my favorite as it captured the struggles of a disable women. There is hardly any representation of disable persons in k-dramas specially as main lead so it was new to see a disable FL. But i was soon disappointed as the topic was cut out from the story. Don't get me wrong i was happy that FL saved herself from disability but her disability part was not enough talked about in the show which makes it irrelevant later.
FL was making dumb choices in every timeline as if she didn’t grow up at all.
Same issue was with the Male lead as he dealt with depression at the beginning but the causes of his depression were not highlighted. We do see that he had to quit swimming because of injury but was that connected to his depression or something else? Why put such crucial topics in the show when they are not going to be explored and give us a deeper understanding of characters ? Both characters needed development based on the timeline as they were shown in different times.

Time travel was interesting to watch till they were in high school after that it become a drag as her going back into the past for the 3rd time didn't change the plot much. And what she wanted to prevent, happened. The purpose of this time travel was to just drag the story.
Sol was super annoying. It felt like she was not taking things seriously, it felt too convenient for her to go back again and again and mess things up further. Even the way she keep on avoiding sunjae made her look very mean. Sun jae's character needed development as well because he was focused on sol to the point that it seemed forced.
Episodes 10 onwards were kind of a drag. The ending become kind of obvious. Anyhow i did enjoyed the music and the comedy.

Can't imagine watching it again and going through torture

It felt like first 8 episodes were written by different writer and last 8 episodes were written by different writer because it felt like a different show after episode 7 but with same characters. Last episodes were filled with all old k-drama tropes and lacked any originality. The writer filled the story with every possible trope possible. I was on verge of tears as to what they did with the show and ruined it. the main leads constant crying made me exhausted.
It would have been fun if the comic part of the show was retained till the end and lead couple's martial issues was focused on but rather we were given unnecessary villian drama. When Hong hae in's amnesia after surgery made me completely lose it. Don't have it in me to watch it again or recommend it.

Actors were the only good part about the show. They saved the show.

The best time travel comedy there is..

What keeps a fictional story alive till the very end is the plot twists! Mr queen certainly outdone that department. I didn’t expect to see that many surprise twists.
None of the main actors are my favourite. I usually find it hard to watch shows where cast is not that familiar or well liked by me . But I just couldn’t stop watching cuz story was addicting. It’s the best comedy time travel drama that I have watched soo far.
The Queen and King are undoubtedly the most chaotic couple and i enjoyed all their moments together.
WHAT I LOVED MOST:
Shin hye sun blew me away with her brilliant acting. The queen’s expressions, body language, and gestures were just perfectly done.
The supporting characters like lady Choi and Royal chef were cherry on the top. I loved them. These characters will surely be remembered.

I didn’t expected a comedy show to get this politically intense but the writer surpassed my expectations in every department. The story portrayed the royal schemes well. I just couldn’t tell what will happen next and what the writer will bring in the story. There were surprise twists upon twists which I love.
