First of all, Shin Hyesun is awesome as a dude in a Queen's body. She's hilarious and has superb comedic timing. The drama is funny with the gender bender aspect, however it has the same typical kdrama plot of childhood trauma + love triangles + evil female second lead.
If I am being honest the drama is totally carried by Shin Hyesun and the talent different between her and the two male leads and the other female lead is very prominent. She sets the bar high that the others fall flat at times. This is further validated by the lack of award nominations for the male leads. The king's character could have been better but most often he's dull if he's not present with Shin Hyesun. However, the older cast was much more entertaining to watch!
Overall this is a typical kdrama with great comedy provided by Shin Hyesun.
