Attached: 1 image #kDrama Mr. Queen (2020 - Viki, 20 1hr 15min episodes) I really didn't know what to expect going into this drama. It turned out to be one of the funniest, sweetest, vicious, and intriguing dramas yet for me. It is hilarious, but I also cried! Shin Hye-sun is so good as a male chef from current times in the Joseon period - I don’t know how she did it, but it was totally believable. I did not like the King at first, but his character really grew on me. The chemistry between the leads is also great. It is such an original story I couldn't begin to guess how everything would resolve. The supporting characters were so good. One of my favorites of all time! It has great music and beautiful costumes and scenery along with such an interesting story and superb acting. #kDrama #MrQueen #ShinHyeSun #KimJungHyun #SeolInAh #WhooshReview https://mydramalist.com/58365-queen-cheorin

Shoot! I watched it on Viki - I know you can do a monthly subscription there if you don’t want to commit for a whole year.

I believe Netflix has “Live Up to Your Name” which is also good - but time travels between Joseon & current time.

If you get Viki, “Our Blooming Youth” is great - set in Joseon era, but it focuses on a mystery. And then there’s “Hwarang”! Search #OurBloomingYouth & #Hwarang here for more info.
