Synopsis
In the modern age, Jang Bong-hwan (Choi Jin-hyuk) is a chef who works for the country's top politicians at the Blue House. He has a free spirit, but he one day finds himself in the body of Queen Cheorin (Shin Hye-sun) in the Joseon period. King Cheoljong (Kim Jung-hyun), the reigning monarch, is a gentle and easy-going person. However, he is only king in name. Queen Sunwon (Bae Jong-ok), the late King Sunjo's wife, wields true power in the country and has relegated King Cheoljong to a figurehead. Her ambitious younger brother, Kim Jwa-geun (Kim Tae-woo), also desires power. Queen Cheorin soon discovers that King Cheoljong is not what he seems, and that he has a dark and suspicious side to him.[6]

Reception
Critical response
Greg Wheeler writing for The Review Geek opines that the show generates laughs but it is not as funny as previous similar shows. Wheeler feels that inspite of it Mr. Queen is a nice comic option filled with fun. Concluding the review he says, "A fun and vibrant body-swap drama that looks set to continue delivering decent drama in the episodes ahead."[45]
Controversies
Following its airing, a controversy erupted in episode 2 as the series referred Korea's national treasure, the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty as a "tabloid." This drew outrage among viewers and about 700 people filed complaints to the Korea Communications Standards Commission.[46] The series was also criticised as the author of the original Chinese drama has made negative remarks about Korea in their other work.[47] The producers released a statement clarifying their stand and apologising for the controversies adding that they were not aware of the negative comments made by the novelist.[48]
Audience viewership
A 8.0% viewership rating was recorded nationwide for the series first episode, making it the second-highest premiere rating of any weekend drama of the network[49] and third-highest premiere rating of the network after Mr. Sunshine[50] and Encounter. [51][52]
As per Nielsen Korea, the 16th episode logged a national average viewership of 14.9%, breaking its own highest ratings, thereby making the series 8th highest-rated drama in Korean cable television history.[53]
