TDrama to Miss: My Queen (2009)

Taiwanese Drama 

My Queen (2009)

Grade: C
34 Episodes

Thirty-two year old single lady Shan Wu Shuang is a driven reporter for a local magazine, focused on forgetting her failed relationship six years in her past. Troubled 25-year-old Lucas enters the scene and is hired on as her assistant, unable to move on from his past love as well. What happens when the two start to develop feelings for each other? Will they be able to overcome the obstacles that relate to their eight year age difference or simply go their separate ways?

*This was an interesting break from the Kdramas. While it followed a typical romantic-comedy formula, the pacing was different because it has twice as many episodes as the average Kdrama. There were a lot of funny, goofy moments in the first few episodes, but by the end it became very serious and dramatic, and it wasn't as clean as most Kdramas. The guy who plays Lucas is very handsome and charming, and while Wu Shuang's character also has her charms, the end message of being happy whether or not you're married didn't quite hit the mark for me. Of course we should be happy regardless of where we are in life, but it bothered me when Wu Shuang decides to delay marriage simply because it doesn't matter to her anymore. Marriage is more important than that. So overall, not a bad show, but I probably won't watch it again. Plus they talked too fast!*
