Queen Wongyeong, known as Lady Min at the time, is married to Yi Bang-Won (Lee Hyun-Wook), known as Prince Jeongan. His father is King Taejo, the founder and the first ruler of the Joseon dynasty. Yi Bang-Won wants to become the next king, but his father selects his second son Yi Bang-Gwa as his successor. Lady Min and her husband Yi Bang-Won are not happy about that. She works as a kingmaker to help Yi Bang-Won become King Taejong and they create a new regime. After Yi Bang-Won becomes the king, he acquires many concubines.

Cl Mar 04 2026 12:16 am Overall, solid drama. Costumes were amazing, acting was strong (sometimes a bit intense). The political scenes dragged a little, but Queen Eungyeong carried the show for me brave, caring, powerful. Centering her felt bold and refreshing. Hated the Kings stunt to manipulate . And yes, the ending made me cry. Eungyeong reminded me of queen Seondeok seires mind all the time

wanted to take the opportunity to reply to few comments @Co - "This series was not interesting" Not everyone will like it, that’s fine.

- "and they were constantly changing prince(s) and confusing us the more." The changing princes? Korean royal history is messy, that’s kind of the point. Taejong was Taejo 5th son and Taejong had about 32 princes and princesses offspring (Great king Sejong korean alphabet creaor was oneof them)

-"My best Historical Series remains (Missing Crown Prince) missing crown prince is simply the best historical series ever." Come on that's not even comparable Taejong and Wongyeong were real.. they took existing historical figures, a few historical event to rewrite a more cohesive story despite facts (the show literally says so) and give Queen Eungyeong some spotlight as the strong, overlooked woman she was. Lee Geon is fictional yet I am glad "Missing Crown Prince" brought more people to historical dramas. @jess - "This drama reminds me of everything I hate about historical drama" Totally get that it’s not for everyone. . it s great that you still took a shot on this difficult one fiction, -" I can’t count how many “Choooonaaaaa kill me, I deserve to die” it was just so serious jeez, from beginning to end it’s fight, war, treason, coup, there’s no warm moment, no chance for a “ha-ha” and the male character pissed me off so bad jeez, "

this drama never mentionned comedy fantastic and it would have never been the happy ending that you expected as this series is reference as Historical Dramatic Politic and kingdom which heavily points toward korean History

and as a viewer thats your job is to check what kind of serie is it. go the extra mile sometimes to avoid deception or losing your time

Stephen Jun 21 2025 6:41 am Great series, really enjoyed it. Cha Joo Young is an outstanding actress, superb acting. Great cast and she is truly a queen that crowns. If you haven’t watched this, you are missing out on a great series. Wish there was a second season.

Ada Feb 18 2025 6:44 am Interesting series indeed!! I started with great expectations and glad it didn’t disappoint. I give everyone their accolades cuz they played their roles perfectly. However, I was disgust and angry several times with the decision of the King; infidelity, unnecessary killings and unjust banishment, etc. Excellent casts though! I loved it to the end

Adela Feb 15 2025 9:24 am I simply love Lee Hyun-Wook with all my heart, he it's simply Amazing, his acting it's just Unbelievable/Extraordinary Beautiful!!! I am so sorry that he isn't appreciated at his true worth.

Co Feb 14 2025 12:34 pm I clicked on this series anticipating that it would be interesting but to my greatest disappointment, this series wasn't even close to being a good series. At a point I lost interest and was just fast forwarding the whole thing. This series was not interesting and they were constantly changing prince(s) and confusing us the more. My best Historical Series remains (Missing Crown Prince) missing crown prince is simply the best historical series ever.

Jess Feb 14 2025 2:13 am This drama reminds me of everything I hate about historical drama fiction, I can’t count how many “Choooonaaaaa kill me, I deserve to die” it was just so serious jeez, from beginning to end it’s fight, war, treason, coup, there’s no warm moment, no chance for a “ha-ha” and the male character pissed me off so bad jeez, I couldn’t bear to watch this anymore

Chey Feb 10 2025 1:37 pm Loved, loved, loved this drama!!!! ?? Cha Joo Young and Lee Hyun Wook definitely carried this drama. Amazingly good and for Joo Youngssi, what an outstanding performance as your first lead role! Daebak!

Dee Thomas Feb 10 2025 7:59 am This is so good. This holds my interest

Tumie-South African Fan Feb 08 2025 4:41 pm Honestly the story line is so refreshing and I'm just waiting for the day the Queen decides to leave this King because she is really going through the most for this man. As for the characters everyone is doing well and it's not predictable like some other dramas

M Feb 06 2025 6:21 pm Thank you for making a beautiful historical series, I wanted to know how the design of the series' clothes matches reality, is there a museum of the clothes of that time in Korea?

Hoosierr Feb 05 2025 2:14 am This show had so much potential bc Queen Wongyoung's story is so interesting however script felt so short. They failed to make the King and Queen characters compelling. Cha Joo Young carried The show on her shoulders. Idc what anyone else says. The concubine girl was more on center than actual leads. The girl neither have charisma nor skills to carry that much screentime. Pretty sure she has a lot of connections.

Chey Jan 14 2025 1:45 pm Whoa! Episode 4, what a cliffhanger !!!! Lovin' this more cuz of Lee Sung Min. ❤️ ?

B00 Jan 14 2025 12:25 pm Is it just me like both leads are not likeable? lol Like the only one you can sympathize with is his father or is it just me? It's very hard for me to watch this there is usually bad vs good. but the leads are just bad

Mikhak Jan 09 2025 2:40 am I just realize that the former king is Lee Sung Min? omg i could watch this just for him alone

Chey Jan 08 2025 8:39 am Wow, Cha Joo Young in a lead role!!!!! It didn't take long for her to het a lead role cuz she's one extrepromising actress! ? Her and Lee Hyun Wook's on-screen chemistry is simply through the roof!!!!! ???The 1st 2 episodes are simply daebak!!!! Finally, my Mon-Tuesdays will be on fire. Crossing my fingers that roof will be like this through 12th episode..?

eyeliner Jan 08 2025 12:29 am its not Queen Woo. Your eyes so tired, cant read the title correctly, like me. haha

Fizzy Jan 07 2025 5:03 pm This is the FL first lead role and I am loving it. I hope she pays the king back in his own coins, because people change after they get a taste of power, and it's quite sad the king betrayed his queen and took in quite a lot of concubines

Beta Nim Jan 07 2025 2:47 am It's about time Cha Joo Young is getting recognized to partake in a leading role. <3

Opzy Dec 03 2024 1:18 pm There are so many stories about this character before, yi bang won, I'm so tired of it.

Yoori Nov 29 2024 7:46 pm Finally, I got to see Cha Joo Young is a title role and lead. She is quite a good actress. She is the actress in Glory, the social climber lady.

Aikay Oct 07 2024 6:52 pm Incase you haven't seen a drama fully based on this story, u can watch the six flying dragons, it's actually the best.

Aikay Oct 07 2024 6:49 pm A very familiar story, I've seen it in many Korean drama, but this one is about queen wongyeong

Anony08 Jun 07 2024 4:50 am Hmm.. interesting plot to say the least..

Jew Apr 02 2024 10:22 am Looks interesting from upcoming TvN series! Cant wait! I see their onscreen chemistry.

Fred Nov 13 2023 4:15 pm I wish this drama will air soon I was hoping to see Cha joo young as the lead actress
