2025 - and still the BEST/ PERFECT Drama EVER! ❤️
As a decade-long drama enthusiast, I can confidently say "Mr. Queen" sets an unparalleled benchmark. Scoring a perfect 10 in every aspect - a first for any drama/movie EVER on my watchlist, this production's excellence speaks for itself. "Mr. Queen" skillfully blends political intrigue, mystery, romance, action, supernatural elements, and comedy - all delivered through outstanding acting, well-timed OST & BGM, and stunning cinematography. I'm re-writing this review as I rewatch this gem drama possibly for the 15-20th time and hoping that no one misses out watching this PERFECTION.
Special Mentions:
♡ Shin Hye Sun as Mr Queen (FL): The leading lady owns this drama. Have seen her as a support actress since long, the moment I was watching this drama as it aired, I knew she had made it. From her dialogue delivery, facial expressions, body language bringing out the duality & conflict of her role of a man in a woman's body. This role was made for her and Shin Hye Sun is MY QUEEN!
♡ Kim Jung Hyun as King Cheol Jong (SML): This was my first drama of his and I love him. The way he expresses and switches from acting like a fool to being a calculating political vigilante but also turning up the charm/kind personality as he slowly falls in love with the Queen.
♡ Supporting Characters: Court Lady Cho, Hong Yeon, Kim Byung In, Kim Hwan, Grand Queen Dowager Sunwon, and Man Bok add significant value to the story. They support the main characters while establishing their own memorable presence.
♡ Story, Pace & Cinematography: The clothes, set, direction, pace, and cliffhangers are all tastefully done, making you click the next episode automatically. There is not a dull moment, and while many things are happening across times, different part of palace - the storytelling is done masterfully leaving you engaged and excited for the mystery to unfold and not a single moment of confusion. BEST - the comic timing of all characters: comedy is one of the toughest things to bring out and this drama has earned a gold medal in it. It also has some of the best action scenes and puns that I have ever encountered in a drama of similar genre.
♡ OST: 10/10. From comic songs to romantic ballads and action scores, the OST is a masterpiece and deserves a place in your music playlist. The timing is so right and fits so well with the scenes. #BongHwaNa will remain stuck in your mind for long. A good example of songs fitting in scenes: https://youtu.be/xQyC1wZmFes?si=BJR5kr5PLmbyi1BS
Overall: Just Watch it, believe me it will be the best decision to spend 20 hours of your life. And then you'll join me rewatching it cause one time is just not enough! ❤️ The next time you'll see these actors in any other show/movie I bet you'll fondly remember their roles in Mr Queen - that is how ICONIC it is! #BongHwaNaaaaaaaa
