Well well well, the ending is here for Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) and I’m not sure if I should talk about the ending or just let it rip in the comment section. I don’t want to “spoil” any plot point but this ending is really quite special, as in I think it would take a really special viewer to find it thoroughly satisfying. I’ve been checked out since before the midway point when I realized the writer wasn’t going to commit in any meaningful direction and now I feel like one of the lucky ones not to get seppuku’d at the end. The ratings did end with a lovely series high of 17.371% and sets this drama one of highest rated in tvN history but it may also go down as one of the most frustrating of all time. For me, the ending of what I thought the writer would go with (it’s safe if not totally nonsensical) so my heart goes out to all the diehard fans. Don’t worry. such pain will recede with time and also becomes a toughening lesson in drama shipping.

Agree Koala! The ending was painful! It should have ended with LeeSaeng Mang and Jolcheong riding a horse into the sunset and swimming together in some lake or something and travelling. The second half of the episode was so disappointing but anyway Jeona and MaMa's acting was so so good.
I honestly think the ending is fine. The drama hasn’t set it up as a serious drama with depth and it has exceeded well beyond expectation as a fusion comedy sageuk. Both SHS and KJH have established through this drama their A listing credentials - and indeed perfect casting to balance an extrovert and introvert delivery.
As a viewer, I don’t think it’s fair for CJH’s character to be trapped forever in SY’s body. His return to modern time is the sensible way forward. It’s smart for the producer to insert ‘love at first sight before marriage’ subplot in Mr Queen The Secret to neutralize the ending.
Im with you. I liked it. Im glad the whole time So Yong was just in "hiding" allowing bong hwan to take over believing he is in a better position to help Cheoljong than she did. I was afraid the writer will succumb to pressure from the public and stick to the non fiction reality based ending. Loved it. Sending off the drama with a heart full... goodbye cheoljong and cheolrin, you will be rewatched with gusto soon. Looking forward to Shin Hye Sun and Kim Jung Hyuns new projects. Added them into my must watch artist list ^^
I wish the ending a little better. But I guess Bong hwan's feeling towards the king was mostly soo young although the one King fell in love with was Bong hwan. I think the writer tries to make it safer with no BI love which could get banned somewhere. But I am fine with the ending.
They want to let go of Our OTP who was with us for 19 episodes already. It hurts me thinking CJ will always feel something is missing and never actually gonna find out. He has been cheated by twice already, first with HJ and now SY. Do you really expect to see this?
BH will not be the same as he used to be anymore. Probably he could never find his true love, he would feel heartbroken whenever he thinks of CJ, Joseon and history.
Congratulations to the whole MQ team!
I am amazed at how Kim Jung Hyun bounced back after hiatus, now both of his comeback dramas, CLOY and MQ are on the list of top 10 highest rated cable kdrama in history.
I'm happy he could come back stronger, more success for him. He is really talented, he deserves everything.
KJH and SHS's chemistry is insane, they deserve more than this. Hope both of them can reunite as leads again in a modern drama, although it is rare in Korea.
For the ending, I am satisfied because at least we got to see KJH and SHS end up together.
I expected this ending. South Korea isn't ready for this. They won't go that far by taking another risks, they already received some backlash criticism at the beginning.
First, this is not a BL drama which normally casts two male actors as leads. We have ML and FL like other romance dramas. So, The King and real Queen are the endgame.
If they would go this way, the real Queen should come back to her body earlier than this, or maybe on and off like Oh My Ghost drama did. This ending is meh.
Bong Hwan was just a helper to win Cheoljong's love and trust for So Young.
So Young is 2nd Hwa Jin now, she got everything without her efforts.
Cheoljong is the victim twice for the same love-deceiving plot.
I don't even how to connect with all of this
I haven't watched the whole serie, so I'm going to ask, is JBH trapped in SHS's body until the end? If yes, could this be categorized as gay romance?
This is my first time seeing Actor Kim Jung Hyun. I kinda regretted I only noticed him now. He is so talented and chrismatic on screen. Something about him is so attractive. I find him very handsome too. Can't wait to follow his career. I will support all his future works from now on.
And, I love Cheoljong character as well.
you should watch his drama welcome to waikiki.. I bet you gonna love it
