Mystery Queen, one of the newest shows to come out of South Korea, might be one of the cutest and coolest renditions of Sherlock Homes I’ve seen in awhile… and it stars a housewife with a crazy mother-in-law.
The show is about Yoo Seol Ok (get it? rhymes with “Sherlock”), a woman who’s always wanted to become a police officer—she’s even studied every year for the exam, though she’s never actually taken it. Only problem is, as the wife of a prosecutor, Seol Ok is stuck at home, mostly tending to her demanding mother-in-law.
I’ve never seen a Korean TV show, though I’ve watched many Korean movies. Sounds fun.
