~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Title: Mr Queen (철인왕후)
Country: South Korea
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [TW: Mentions of death, attempted suicide, attempted murder, physical violence, depictions of torture, dubious consent (in terms of two souls possessing one body, and one soul having more control over the physical body at different points)] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This was actually a pretty good drama. I didn’t really know what to expect going into it, but I was pleasantly surprised. Im not usually one for historical dramas but I actually really enjoyed this one. I liked how it made me both laugh & cry at different points, and how it was both serious & lighthearted throughout. I found that it had a nice balance of both. The palace politics system was pretty interesting too.
The cast of characters were fun & interesting to watch. I liked seeing the duality of So Yong/Bong Hwan and seeing the character trying to piece things together whilst surviving palace life.
I did feel that the pacing could be a little slow at times but it didn’t bother me too much and didn’t hinder my overall enjoyment. There were also a few sketchy things that I wasn’t too sure about but as they pertained to the overall story I could understand why they were written in.
Overall I rather enjoyed Mr.Queen and would recommend it.
