I loved how this story started with the King hating our Queen So Yong (Shin Hye Sun) because he wrongly accused her as someone being controlled by the clan he despised the most. King Cheoljong (Kim Jung Hyun)'s character was the target of my love and hate emotions for this drama. When the story progresses with So Yong's pitiful story unfolding every episodes, my blood just boils whenever I see Cheoljong. He's blinded by his revenge that he wasn't able to see the goodness in So Yong. Fortunately, yes it is a fortunate event for me that the narcissist head chef of modern day Blue House, Jang Bong Hwan's (Choi Jinhyuk) soul merged within the Queen's body and started showing her good side.
And now that the King has seen this side So Yong, he has fallen for her. Him. Her. Wah! That's another question of mine, who is the King in love with? The Queen Soyong or the soul of Jang Bong Hwan? And considering that Jang Bong Hwan is starting to feel emotions for the King, does that mean he's already having a heart of a woman? Lol or is he just being carried away by the body of the Queen? There are so many questions but I'll be willing to wait for all of it to be revealed and clear my mind.
I'm growing an attachment for this drama's characters, Queen Soyong, King Cheoljong, Lady Choi (Cha Chung Hwa), Court Lady Hong Yeon (Chae So Eun) and Royal Chef Man Bok (Kim In Kwon). All these names I have mentioned are my favorites and they are all likeable characters so it's understandable, right? But I cannot hide how much I have huge admiration with the actress Shin Hye Sun's performance of Queen Cheorin/ Soyong. She did an impressive job with acting out male's wicked mind and character at the same time being a prim and proper queen at times. She's a believable actress which is why everything is just so hilarious whenever she's on a roll.
Can I just point out also that I really liked Grand Queen Dowager's relationship with Soyong whenever they are talking about food and beauty products/tips? They could have been a perfect resemblance of grandma and grand daughter relationship but Queen Dowager is just too greedy. She will fall soon along with his brother.
I hope the Queen Soyong and King Cheoljong will be happy in the end. I just don't know who the king will end up with, Soyong's real soul or Jang Bong Hwan's soul? Hmmm...
