Title: Mr.Queen (Ongoing, ep 12)

Rating:10/10

Yep. You read it right, 10/10. I don’t usually watch old (historical) drama but Shin Hye Sun is an exemption. I watched this as both main leads are one of the best actors/actress in Korea. Big names, Top acting quality. SHY and Kim Jung Hyun is a combo, one episode and you’ll be addicted.

The drama is about a chef, which is a man, switched soul with a woman, A queen in the past to be exact.

The drama is funny, I love how the characters makes the viewers laugh with unintentional yet simple jokes. But they can switch to serious real quick. The switch of emotions are noticeable and amazing. Facial expressions are very great that i’m 100% sure they’ll win big time in award shows.

Every characters are great in their own ways. They shine when they need to shine. That’s because they play they’re role pretty well. Main lead or not, you’ll love them.

Shin Hye Sun, she’s one of my favourite korean actress out there. If not the best, she’s at my top three as I can’t choose between her, Kim Go Eun and Park Min Young. Because they have different charms and best genre. But I notice SHS in she was pretty, I found her adorable in Legend of the blue sea, Became a fan at 30 but 17, admire her at Angel’s last mission and salute her at Mr.Queen. Not to mention her movies too.

As this drama became popular, And I heard Scripts are coming her way, because they all want to cast SHS. I can’t blame them tho’, She’s really indeed a gem, no doubt. Her character is a man yet a woman, and I can see different sides of her. I can notice the difference with just her expression, simple change in her eyes I know if she’s a he/she. And that’s talent, man! She can play any role and switch real quick. And maybe, because of her, I can’t see anything wrong about this drama because of how well she’s playing her character that i’m occupied with just admiring her.

Kim Jung Hyun, As I see different sides of him, I know he’s a real deal too. He can be funny, idiot and deadly at same time. Why does everyone in this drama are so great with facial expressions?! Like they did a group study or what. I can’t say anything, they’re just really great. All of them.👏👏👏

As every characters are all lovable. Like they’re all scene stealers. Salute to every cast. And the writer/s. All of the production team, great job! 👏👏👏

And to the scene stealer Court Lady Choi, May your stress be free. I love her, really. She’s so done with the Queen but really loves her. She nags her to death and that is very funny, always. 😂

This drama is great! I really recommend this. You’ll enjoy for sure 😉

Title: Mr. Queen (Completed)

Rate: 10/10

First, i’m satisfied with the ending. And even more satisfied when I watched the special parts which they called the Spin-off.

I love how the writer finished the story. It’s satisfying and contented. I was actually hesitant at first because i’m afraid to know what’s gonna happen. I mean i’m confused between Bong Hwan and So Yong and the love between them with the king.

But I have a feeling before that So Yong is still there. Especially when I found out that Bong Hwan was in comma, so probably they didn’t switch bodies as I thought they did.

So every emotional feeling Bong Hwan felt was actually So Yong. Because Bong Hwan is just plain crazy. And i’m thankful Bong Hwan helped her. But i’m still suspicious about the love of the king towards her, because I felt like she liked Bong Hwan more than So Yong. I thought he fell because of Bong Hwan’s craziness. That he’s just curious and intrigued.

But after the story behind the first meet, I know. They fell both at first sight. They felt the connection between them. But the King dismissed the thought because she’s from the Kim’s Clan which he hated. And now i’m convinced that whatever they felt for each other was real, with Bong Hwan there or not. The love was real. And maybe Bong Hwan made the King realise that he’s actually in love with So Yong, when they argued one time that made him realise that So Yong is no enemy.

Shin Hye Sun never fail to amaze me, not only me but all the viewers. I love how you can tell the difference between So Yong and Bong Hwan. She really did a great job portraying her characters well. You can see that she paid attention to every detail, and I love her for that. Salute to the queen! 👏👏👏

Kim Jung Hyun on the other hand is no difference. He’s an amazing actor from the start. I always knew that this drama will be a hit because of the cast. But it’s still amaze me to no end.

I love the cast. The acting was on point and I can’t say anything bad. They’re just amazing. From the Main cast up to the supporting roles. They all deserve to be applauded. 👏👏👏👏👏

Let’s all appreciate Kim Byung In, He’s just someone who fell in love and gave everything. and willing to do everything for her even if it’s his life. It was heartbreaking that he died but I think it makes we his character more meaningful that way.

I love Court lady Choi and Royal Chef’s love story. They’re so funny and they’re chemistry is on point.

Hong Yeon on the other hand is just lovely. I was so stunned and heartbroken when I thought they both died! gosh! I was ready to cuss the writer that time. 😅

The King’s friend and Kim Hwan was so funny. The trio gives the story more funny scenes.

And of course Seol In Ah’s character was being a bitch. But she just fell in love and have doubts. She got controlled but despite that, she found herself. I’m glad she did the right thing.

Let’s all appreciate everyone, every cast. Because they all deserves it and they’re amazing actors. 👏👏👏👏👏

If you haven’t watched it, please di. You’re missing out a piece of your life! You’ll enjoy and won’t regret it. 👍

As I watched this episode, I thought a lot of things. I saw a bit of the reason why Do San is the lead. He’s not greedy and let himself lose on purpose because he’s too much of a considerate guy. But i’m afraid he got too comfortable of losing. He doesn’t have ambitions or any goal, because he upset other people if he’s on top and he hates that. As the nice kind of a guy he is. That’s why he loves being average and contented. Not until his parents pressured him for success. And until he met someone who made him realised what he lack of and wants to look cool in front of her. also he met someone cooler and more successful that he wants to be like him, plus that person is somehow the guy who Dal Mi likes. Do San is honest and warm too. And most importantly he’s in the present life of Dal Mi. He’s actually there while Dal Mi needs someone to at least support her from all the struggles she have especially her battle with her career and her sister. Yes, Ji pyeong is there too, behind the scene. But the actual person who helps Dal Mi is Do San, because she just actually needed a hug and a tap on the back. Like saying, It’s okay i’m here. More than anything and Do San did that. 😢

I saw another warm side of Ji Pyeong here. Yes he’s brutally honest. Realistic person. He’s saying things to Do San that actually hurts him. Especially he’s ego, because right now Do San thinks he’s a loser who have nothing and that he’ll lose Dal Mi to Ji Pyeong. But Ji pyeong said those things to make Do San strong. Because he knows that Do San is naive and doesn’t know how the real world works. And sadly Ji Pyeong knows it really well. He was alone and have to fight the world without someone’s help. And the only thing he had was Dal Mi’s grandmother. That’s why he values their relationship more than anything. and the grandmother knows Ji pyeong really well. He knows that he’s way of protecting himself is being rude and hide he’s real emotions. She knows that he’s really just a good boy. 😍💕

Dal Mi’s character is really interesting. Yes the fight with her sister seems to be childish at first. But that’s because she doesn’t want her dad’s effort to mean nothing to her sister. She wants to prove that her her dad at least try, he didn’t run away when he’s family is at its worst. I love how she loves her grandma. How mature and understanding she is. She always thinks positive and work hard for everything she does. How she thinks outside of the box. Well i guess the rain really made her grew up as a one hell of a fine woman. 👍👍👏👏👏

I’m waiting what will happen next. When the two guys are actually there beside her, helping. I don’t know who will i choose then. But as of now, as i feel pitty for Do San more than the chemistry he have with Dal Mi. I’m still cheering for Ji pyeong and still in second lead syndrome. Because I can feel the pitty more than love. for now. Let’s wait till the truth is out and eveyone is honest about their feelings. 👍

First, It’s a great drama. A lot of knowledge to learn from. Life or business, You have a lot to learn from this.

I love the drama. I like how cheerful and positive Dal Mi is, How naive Do San and How smart and warm Ji pyeong is. But for me, This drama screams Second Lead syndrome every episode. I read a lot of comments how they love Ji pyeong and some love the real Nam Do San. They say that the lead (Do San) can relate to Dal Mi.

But for me, the second lead is more relatable to Dal Mi. They both had a hard childhood, as Dal Mi said, She just walked into the rain even though she has umbrella and Ji Pyeong understands that. They can relate to each other more deeply. And Part of the letters was still Ji Pyeong’s thoughts and feelings.

I think Nam Do San grew in a protective household. You know, those kids who have parents to provide for them and they don’t have to worry anything. That’s why he’s naive, i bet his parents decide for him a lot. He doesn’t know about the real world. That’s why he’s not capable of communicating and leadership, he’s awkward and clueless. He doesn’t know his own emotions and believes on science and number more. But Ji Pyeong is different, How he open the door for Dal Mi while putting his hand just above her head to avoid her getting hurt (sense jjang), how he relates with her, How he puts her feelings first, he knows her better than anyone and understands her. How he doesn’t want her to get hurt or disappointed. You see, he’s warm but have a wall to protect himself. Because he grew up in the real world with different kinds of people belittling him for not having a family. Gosh his dream was to play cards with his family. That’s sad. 😭

I feel sorry for the three of them. They’re living with lies. it broke my heart whenever Ji Pyeong’s effort is being credited by someone, not him. It’s sad that when Nam Do San asked Dal Mi why she likes him, he knows that’s not him. I feel sorry for Dal Mi if she finds out that all of it was a lie and got confused. Sad. 😞

Anyways, let’s see how the leads relationship blooms.

Saw this on twitter. They’re promoting Korea Globally! So koreans don’t have to bash the show for having too much product advertising in it. It helps your economy. The least you can do is appreciate and be thankful.

Rate: 9/10 (Ongoing)(ep 5)

It’s me again! It’s been i while. I watched a lot of dramas but i’m too lazy to post. sorry. But while watching this, i think it’s time. I was heartbroken when TKEM ended. And this drama is worth my time to post.

This drama is really heart fluttering. I mean, there’s butterflies everywhere. The lead’s chemistry is overwhelming. I was caught off guard by the great cast and well written script. I mean Park Bo Gum and Park So Dam in one screen?! 💕 Another ParkCouple in the house. 🙌

The drama is about a model who wants to be an actor. But struggling to achieve his dream as his enlistment is coming and he doesn’t have much time. He’s family doesn’t support him except his grandfather. He’s fighting against himself, family, and his famous best friend. While the Girl is a makeup artist with a dream to have her own brand, plus she’s a fan of Sa Hye Jun (Park Bo Gum)

I like how close the drama to reality. The smooth transition of the leads from nothing to something. I like how the characters and script was well written. The drama gave the actors justice. They gave what they deserve. It’s still ongoing but i’m really loving this. I tried it because of the leads but i’m willing to drop it if it sucks, but it didn’t. It doesn’t disappoint a bit. Because the Honesty of the characters made an impact to me, it’s refreshing how well the characters talk (maybe the writer is a smooth talker) 👍 The life lessons is given, but the butterflies is really hard to make. And it doesn’t looks fake at all.

Try it and you’ll love this. reallyyyyyy! 👍💕

In my own preference tho, i don’t like love triangle between friends. But if i hate it that much, it means they’re great actors. 👏👏👏

I just watched the first episode. The synopsis written when you search the drama is too vague. So you don’t know what to expect. But i still try because why not, Suzy and nam joo hyuk together? Plus i’m a fan of Kim Seon Ho’s acting (But i think he’s underrated. sad.)

I like the story, too many happenings in just one episode. But after i watched it, I felt the second lead syndrome again. I’m not sure what will happen but right now, i’m frustrated that Seon Ho’s character is not the lead. I mean, the lead is taking all the credits for Han Ji pyung’s efforts. And right now, i don’t like that a guy like Ji pyung will be the one who doesn’t get chosen. Sad.
