The King Queen

When 28-year-old software engineer Jake Morrison accidentally electrocutes himself while trying to fix his ancient microwave during a thunderstorm, he expects to wake up in a hospital—not in the silk-draped body of Queen Soo-jin in 15th century Joseon Korea. With no idea how to act like royalty, Jake must navigate court intrigue, marriage politics, and the mortifying reality that he now has to wear a hanbok and speak in formal Korean honorifics. His biggest challenge isn't the scheming nobles or assassination attempts—it's trying to figure out how to use the bathroom in these elaborate royal robes without dying of embarrassment. The situation becomes even more complicated when he realizes that his "husband," the devastatingly handsome but cold King Min-jun, might actually be worth staying in this timeline for.



As Jake struggles to maintain his cover while dodging marriage consummation ceremonies and learning to walk in traditional Korean shoes, he discovers that Queen Soo-jin's mysterious death wasn't an accident—and neither was his arrival in her body. With the help of the loyal but suspicious General Kang Dae-ho, who seems to know more about the queen's secrets than he's letting on, Jake must uncover a conspiracy that threatens the entire kingdom. Between accidentally starting a court scandal by asking for pizza, nearly causing a diplomatic incident by trying to introduce democracy, and falling head-over-heels for a king who thinks his wife has gone completely insane, Jake realizes that saving the kingdom might be easier than surviving his own love life. Time is running out, and Jake must choose between finding a way back to his own time or staying to protect the people he's grown to love—assuming he can survive long enough to make that choice.
