After starring in the popular drama Crash Landing on You, Kim Jung Hyun returned to greet fans through the latest drama series entitled Mr. Queen.

Not alone, this 1990-born actor will act together with a beautiful actress Shin Hye Sun.

Being a historical drama, the storyline of Mr. Queen is not as heavy as the other sageuk dramas. Instead, this drama brings about a fresher concept that its predecessor dramas rarely offer.

What are some interesting facts about the Korean drama Mr. Queen? Here are some of them!

1. How’s the synopsis?

Although it is a sageuk or colossal drama, the stories that are presented are not entirely past lives. This is a mix of modern and earlier-time life that tells the story of a cook in the Korean presidential palace.

Meanwhile, Kim Jung Hyun plays the character King Cheoljong. On the outside, his character may look unreliable and weak. Don’t get him wrong, though! You know, the king actually has an ambitious hidden nature.

3. The supporting characters are no less interesting

Apart from the two undoubted main characters, there are supporting characters, namely Bae Jong Ok who becomes Queen Sunwon. She is the wife of the late King Sunwo and has power in the Joseon kingdom.
