The drama "Mr. Queen," which ranks second in the weekly Netflix broadcast/drama rankings in the second week of March 2023, is a soul-depriving scandal involving Kim So-yong, a heavyweight who has an "out-of-this-world tension" owing to an accidental injury.

In "Mr. Queen," Shin Hye-sun played Kim So-yong, a queen with the soul of Cheong Wa Dae chef Jang Bong-hwan, and presented "Shin Hye-sun," a fusion historical drama comedy. It was the first historical drama challenge since its debut, and it simultaneously launched powerful comedy acting, creating an unprecedented character. She demonstrated her versatility as an actor with an innocent and elegant appearance through this effort. She improved her status as an actor in this performance by displaying not only the visage of a "diction fairy," but also appropriate facial expressions.

She has been renowned for her broad range of acting abilities by confronting the public with a different face in each performance, such as recurrent difficulties.  The creativity of how to melt the characters' feelings, states, and psychology in their hues, as well as the flawless appearance to portray them authentically, were enough to whisk the spectators' souls away.

The drama was particularly contentious, not only for insulting the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, but also for depicting Jo Dae-bi making overt hand signals with Cheoljong and Kim So-yong's beds, and Kim So-yong, the chief of Naejang, entering the Suragan.

The controversy was always expected owing to the original author's use of the word "disgusting," but "Mr. Queen" was chastised for its direction and lines that crossed the line during the broadcast. Nonetheless, "Princess Iron Man" was a huge success because of a comedic performance that only Shin Hye-sun can deliver.
