There is some good comedy to enjoy in this show. But the non comedic parts are boring. Body swap and time travel to Joseon has been done before. Here there is a combination which provides some enjoyable scenarios. This show could have been 4 episodes shorter. The parts with the political fighting and scheming by the clans is repetitive and tiresome. Anyone who has watched a palace based K drama would have seen these things before.
The jokes are cute at first with the gender swap with the modern cooking and modern lingo. While there are funny one liners, some of the jokes are unfunny and juvenile.
Lead actress Shin Hye Sun is very enthusiastic and does the physical aspects of the comedy well. Quite a tour de force. Her one liners are the best part. She looks prettier here than in her modern roles. Good to see Kim Jung Hyun do a completely different role from the loveable scoundrel in CLOY. He has a wide range of acting on display here from stony faced emperor to sword fighting action to comedy. Choi Jin Hyuk plays the modern day chef and the flashes to him are funny. More of the back and forth between eras would have been better to break the monotony.
A good effort but would have been better at just 16 episodes.
