Mr. Queen
철인왕후Checked and re-read
The funniest sageuk since the genre existed and the most committed body-swap comedy Korea has produced. Shin Hye Sun plays a modern male chef trapped in a Joseon queen's body with physical comedy that carries whole episodes on its own. The palace politics underneath the comedy are surprisingly competent, the romance actually works despite the premise, and twenty episodes is somehow not too many. An 8.9 from nearly eighty thousand ratings, and the number is honest.
A modern chef suddenly becomes trapped inside the body of a queen from the Joseon era, which causes chaos for everyone involved.
Hooks early Episode 1. A modern chef wakes up as a Joseon queen inside twenty minutes.
