* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to it's inspiration the Chinese series ''Series/GoPrincessGo''. Though both share identical premise of a modern playboy being hurled back in time to inhabit the body of a princess they are sharply different in tone. The Chinese series is essentially a full on sitcom with occasional dramatic beats, with many intentionally ridiculous characters and costumes and constant humorous fourth wall breaks by the protagonist. The Korean remake meanwhile, while certainly having it's share of humour, is much more of a dramedy with the emotional and political stakes played rather more seriously. ''Mr Queen'' is also more interested in the philosophical and spiritual element of the switch.
