The Story
After encouraging her husband, the prince, to stage a coup against his own brother, a powerful woman rises to the throne as queen. But the partnership she once shared with her lover becomes strained as he tries to establish his political power while she continues to focus on furthering her family’s influence. And as they fight their way through political rivals, concubines, and government policies, they will each remain determined to do what’s best for the country and its people.
My Personal Thoughts and Ratings
‘The Queen Who Crowns’ is a historical drama based on the true story of a Queen from the beginning of the Joseon Era. The fact that there is very little written about this infuential and dynamic woman is reason enough to watch the series, particularly if you are a history fan. The cast is outstanding and the characters are emotionally complex and realistic.ย
While this drama doesn’t have much violence for a historical drama, it does have a surprising amount of sexually explicit scenes, especially at the beginning. The realistic tone of the drama can feel slow moving and make the characters completely unlikable at times. I give ‘The Queen Who Crowns’ an 8 out of 10 ramen.
