Just as I thought tvN Sat-Sun sageuk Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) may not break out of the 12% ratings plateaued until closer to the end, it took a big blast free this Sunday as episode 12 brought in a cool new high 13.224% ratings. I feel like the King is really moving beyond his plotting phase and the unexpected twists and turns in interactions with Bong Hwan in So Young’s body as the Queen has finally made headway in his life quest to bring down the shadow masters Andong Kim Clan and the Great Dowager Queen. It’s unfortunate the drama is a three-headed demon making me also hate the Dowager Queen and Concubine side so it’s like I can’t concentrate my annoyance at one side and I don’t know who will end up being more dangerous to the righteous King and his quest to right wrongs. The ending for episode 12 certainly pulled no punches for how dangerous it is for him, each step is on landmines but thankfully he really has his Queen’s full support even if he doesn’t know why.
