K-netizens Upset that tvN Drama Queen Cheorin’s Naver Channel has Been Restored as TVing Tries to Re-promote it on Streaming

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 1, 2021 by ockoalaDecember 2, 2021
Historical characters in traditional costumes.

It’s nearing the one year anniversary of when Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) premiered on tvN on December 12th, 2020. Oh what a year makes, for this drama it’s been the see-saw of hugely successful airings and audience feedback when it aired followed by blacklisting afterwards as collateral damage from other fallouts tied to K-netizens sudden fixating on punishing shows that … Continue reading →

Final Episode of tvN Sageuk Queen Cheorin Brings Ratings High of 17.371% and Plenty of Heated Commentary About the Ending

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 14, 2021 by ockoalaFebruary 14, 2021
Royal couple in traditional Korean attire.

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 … Continue reading →

Queen Cheorin Episode 19 Heads into Finale with 14.227% Ratings Along with Reunion and Death

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 13, 2021 by ockoalaFebruary 13, 2021
Dramatic emotional moments between two characters.

It’s finale weekend for tvN weekend hit sageuk Queen Cheorin, and I’m filled with sadness of what this drama could have been with it’s record breaking debut ratings and two firing-on-all-cylinders leads Shin Hye Sun and Kim Jung Hyun. Alas it won’t set ratings records for tvN beyond the premiere and probably won’t have the longevity of viewers since it … Continue reading →

Action Moves out of the Palace in Episode 18 of Queen Cheorin with Ratings Staying Put at 14.844%

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 8, 2021 by ockoalaFebruary 8, 2021
Historical scenes with traditional clothing and emotions.

Next week is the finale of Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) and it’ll be interesting to see how the drama deals with both historical King Cheoljeong and his situation as well as whether Bong Hwan’s soul will stay in Joseon forever or go back to modern times. I’m fairly certain Bong Hwan is the reincarnated future self of So Young, perhaps … Continue reading →

Episode 17 of Queen Cheorin Gets Steady 14.510% Ratings as the Pregnant Queen Navigates Personal Feelings with Palace Plotting

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 6, 2021 by ockoalaFebruary 7, 2021
Couple in traditional clothing by the water.

tvN Sat-Sun drama Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) is now down to the penultimate weekend of airing and I’m back to being more interest solely to see what the writer has in store to wrap up this story. As cheaply and dorkily as source drama Go Princess Go was executed (HOMG the homemade costumes and “special” effects were to be seen), … Continue reading →

Queen Cheorin Takes a Leap of Faith in Episode 16 with New Ratings High of 14.946% and a Surprise on the Way

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 31, 2021 by ockoalaJanuary 31, 2021
Couple in traditional attire by a lake.

Normally a drama is done with 16-episodes but we’ve got 4 more to go with Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) and I’m also finally ready to share that weird feeling I’ve had where I like the drama but don’t love it. It’s truly entertaining taken in segmented scenes but as a whole just doesn’t coalesce because a really gripping sageuk builds … Continue reading →

Episode 15 of Queen Cheorin Hits New Rating High of 14.534% as the Queen Fully Embraces Her Place in the Joseon Palace

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 30, 2021 by ockoalaJanuary 30, 2021
Three scenes of historical Korean drama characters.

After 5 episodes in the 12% ratings, with two episodes getting north of 13%, it feels like Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) has finally broken through both in the ratings game and in the narrative. Episode 15 got a whopping 14.534% and there are still 5 more episodes left to see if it can fulfill the early on potential when it premiered … Continue reading →

Queen Cheorin Episode 14 Inches Back Up to 13.623% Ratings as Competition Heats Up in Other Cable Networks

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 24, 2021 by ockoalaJanuary 25, 2021
Couple in traditional attire by a lake.

Man, I thought Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) would be breaking cable records left and right but it’s got stiff competition from the other cable dramas on the weekend time slot with one finished and another one just arrived. OCN drama The Uncanny Counter faltered in the final few episodes likely due to the screenwriter swap but the last episode got … Continue reading →

Queen Cheorin Inches Back Down to 12.797% Ratings for Episode 13 as the King Fights Back and the Queen Finds Herself Even More Invested

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 23, 2021 by ockoalaJanuary 24, 2021
Historical characters in traditional costumes.

The speed at which time flies continues to astound because I remember being so blown away by the first episode of Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) when it premiered and now we are not only done with the plot setting episodes but rounded the corner into the second half headed towards setting up the denouement. Episode 13 dropped below 13% from … Continue reading →

Queen Cheorin Episode 12 Breaks Out with 13.224% Ratings as the Story Explodes with New Intensity

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 17, 2021 by ockoalaJanuary 18, 2021
Historical characters in traditional costumes.

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 … Continue reading →

Queen Cheorin Starts Second Half with Ratings Still Steady at 12.517% for Episode 11

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 16, 2021 by ockoalaJanuary 16, 2021
Historical figures practicing archery outdoors.

Watching tvN drama Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) reminds me of the worst and most sincere excesses of my (and many others) attempts at writing. We try too hard, and have too much to say. Individual sentences works, broader concepts are interesting, but in the earnestness of trying to convey it ends up jumping topics and tones. QC can’t decide if … Continue reading →

Queen Cheorin Ratings Rise Slightly in Episode 10 and Hits New High with 12.836% as the King Gets Closer to Figuring Out He’s a Pawn Either Way

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 10, 2021 by ockoalaJanuary 10, 2021
Couple in traditional clothing by the water.

I think Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) could have been so much more script-wise, and has been buoyed by the entertaining execution on the comedic stuff, the gorgeous visuals, and the top notch acting and chemistry of leads Shin Hye Sun and Kim Jung Hyun. But the problem is that the King Cheoljeong history isn’t particularly ripe for incisive (re)examination and … Continue reading →
