Mr.Queen ~ K-Drama Review.

So one K-drama that had me literally glued to my screen was Mr. Queen, and see I actually did not know what to expect when I first started the drama, I just saw people talking about it online, and also the title sounded somehow, I mean, Mr. Queen? It felt like a mix-up from the start. ..But omo, from the very first episode, I was hooked. The drama is so unique, like a whole different vibe from the usual palace dramas, this one is not your normal “crown prince marries princess and fights war” kind of drama.

In Mr. Queen, the main character is actually a modern-day chef, a man actually, who gets into an accident and wakes up in the body of a queen in the Joseon era, I know it sounds crazy, but trust me, that is what makes it interesting, hmmm .. just imagine waking up one morning and you are in someone else’s body inside a palace, and not just anyone, but the Queen, that alone set the tone for pure chaos and laughter.

What I love most about the drama is how funny and dramatic it is at the same time, the actor who played the queen really nailed the performance, you could literally feel the energy of a man trapped in a woman’s body, shouting anyhow, eating aggressively, causing trouble in the palace like he was still in the 21st century, I laughed so much, especially with the way he (or she?) would forget he was now royalty and still behave like one tout. Lol ..

But aside from the comedy, the plot is actually deep, there’s palace politics, betrayal, romance, and plenty of secrets, I really liked how the Queen and King’s relationship started with hate and confusion and then slowly turned to trust and even love, you know K-drama people, they always know how to twist your heart somehow.

Now let me talk about why I think K-dramas are so popular.

For one, the storyline is always different, Whether it is about time travel, high school love, poor girl rich guy, zombies, lawyers, fantasy, or even aliens, there is always something fresh, You can be watching and thinking, “What kind of brain wrote this thing?” That is how creative they are.

Also, the production is always clean and sharp,like the visuals, the outfits, the makeup, even the food scenes, infact everything is on point, and then they will now add emotional soundtracks that will make you cry as if you were the one in the relationship.

Another reason I think people (especially Nigerians) love K-drama is because they really know how to build suspense, You will just finish one episode and be like, “Just one more,” and next thing you have already watched five episodes and it is 3 a.m. so addicting

Also, their characters are very lovable, even the villains, you will still like them somehow,and they know how to develop each character’s story in a way that makes you feel attached.

Back to Mr. Queen, I think it is ine of the funniest and most creative palace dramas that I have e ever seen, if you are someone that doesn’t really like historical dramas, you should still try this one because the modern twist makes it very relatable, You will laugh, you will be shocked, and you will probably cry once or twice.

All in all, K-dramas are just in a different league, and as for Mr. Queen, it is definitely a must-watch for anybody that wants to laugh and still enjoy a great storyline.
