Mr. Queen - Movie Quotes

Memorable Quotes

오늘부터 1일이다

— King Cheoljong

Context:

In Episode 6, after several misunderstandings and seeing a different side of the queen, Cheoljong kneels before her and earnestly asks for a fresh start for their relationship, declaring, “So today is Day 1.”

Meaning:

Literally translating to "Today is Day 1," this is a modern Korean phrase used to signify the official start of a romantic relationship. Cheoljong says it with complete historical sincerity, intending to start their political and personal relationship anew on a clean slate. The quote's humor and significance lie in the dramatic irony: Bong-hwan, inside So-yong, is horrified because he understands its modern romantic connotation, while Cheoljong is oblivious. It marks the moment Cheoljong consciously decides to try and understand his strange queen, setting their romance in motion.
