20. Queen: Love and War

A historical drama set in the Joseon period and it's more on the lighter side, especially compared to a lot of other dramas set in this time period. Also includes hidden identity. As seemingly with all Joseon-era sageuks, there is palace politics involved, however, the romance is more of the main focus of the show.
