This wasn’t a Taiwanese drama that was on my radar just because im not usually into older woman/ younger man romances. I also wasn’t familiar with the leads so I didn’t think it was something I needed to watch. However, it was added to Dramafever and I was curious so I decided to give the first episode a try….
Story: So I have mixed feelings about it. The first 9 episodes were perfection in that I was eating up each episode because they were intense, funny, and unexpectedly addictive. I enjoyed watching the leads who were so different having to work together and solve the news cases. Then episode 10 happened and the writers changed the direction and added the ex boyfriend character into the mix. The show although well written (I never got bored), it became frustrating to watch, even making me have thoughts of dropping it(I wasn’t enjoying the drama anymore). I decided to stick it out because the leads had an amazing chemistry and I wanted to see them together again and by ep 19 I started to love this drama again. I really liked the ending cause it was fun and reminded me of the tone of the beginning episodes.
Acting/Cast: Like I said, I had never seen the main actors before so I didn’t expect much from them but from the first episode I felt their sizzling chemistry so I became interested in how they would be able to portray their characters. They did an awesome job of making me become attached to their characters and rooting for their relationship. The supporting cast did a good job with their characters but a lot of the characters were overacted/annoying.
Music: I liked the OST for this drama but not enough to give it a listen outside of watching.
Rewatch: Because I liked the characters in this, I would give it a second watch but not for a while cause it was frustrating to watch for almost half of the time.
Overall, the characters and the ending make My Queen a Taiwanese drama that is worth watching.
