First half was gold, [spoiler]second half I'm not gonna lie has manny fillers and the plot wasn't as smooth as a tought it will be, I found myself laughing with Hyesun's acting but the rest of characters were kind of a meh, Byeong In was underrated and became relevant for the plot only to wrap up things wich was kinda off.
Still a good watch, by any means I could rate this with less than 8, technically was flawless, from sound to setting was the best of the best.
Imagine if Jang Bong Hwan wouldn't be on a vegetative state we could have a second season with the queen on his body in an actual time.[/spoiler]

A top-tier drama, original and so funny. The cast did a spectacular job!

One of the best dramas I've ever seen! You laugh and cry in the same episode.
I'm completely in love with the couple, the protagonists are brilliant and the king has the kindest eyes ever!

Very Original idea for the era.

Shin Hye-sun killed this performance. She was so funny and animated and handled each scene with such tenacity that I can forgive the "villains" for being so damn annoying.

Kim Jung-hyun did an excellent job at somehow building up from puppet king to hearthrob. Completely unfreezing my heart which had been cold to him the first half of the drama.

Their chemistry made me keep watching. [spoiler] I was almost sad when the real queen returned to her body to carry on in the end. [/spoiler]

The second male lead, although beautiful to look at, was never used to his full potential in my opinion.

All and all, I enjoyed this and am excited to see what Shin Hye-sun gets up to next.

One of the best kdramas I've ever seen. Highly recommend this.

Combines the elements of mystery, comedy, action etc all in a one show.

I'm sad I won't be able to find anything comparable now.

Pure comic gold with a great plot to boot. Shin Hye Sun has such range!

It's the best comedy k-drama I've ever wanted.

why does prince yongcheung always look like he's going to cry

The leads had great chemistry and Shin Hye-Sun really made a spectacular job portraying a woman possessed by an arrogant womanizer. I really enjoyed the "enemies to lovers" side of this drama and everything related to the craziness and misunderstandings born of The Queen being possessed by a man from 200 years in the future. The comedy side of things was great!

That said, the drama side I didn't really care for. The fighting and power struggles between the two clans, the plotting, treasonous acts and murder attempts… It was all same old, same old as far as period K-dramas are concerned. Nothing original, nothing new, nothing exciting.

The first few episodes were hard for me to get through. I liked the second part of the drama way more than the first.

I ended up liking it, but I don't think this is a drama I would watch again.
