The director, Yoon Sung-sik, and writers, Park Gye-ok and Choi Ah-il, have done an exceptional job in bringing the story to life. The drama is a spoof of the standard historical K-drama, with a modern-day twist that will have you laughing out loud.

Mr. Queen follows the story of a modern-day chef named Jang Bong-hwan, who finds himself transported back in time to the Joseon era and trapped in the body of Queen Cheorin. The drama takes us on a journey as Jang Bong-hwan navigates the intricate world of the palace, all while trying to figure out how to return to his own time.

What makes Mr. Queen so unusual is its plot. The drama is essentially a spoof of the standard historical K-drama, with a modern-day twist. It pokes fun at the rigid and formal world of the palace, all while keeping us on the edge of our seats with its twists and turns. The drama’s ability to seamlessly blend comedy and drama is what makes it stand out from other K-dramas.
