Suddenly, "All of a sudden"..Thirty billion won 'Queen Wu', 'Do you have to?a sequence of '

The reaction is unusual after the release of the original TVing series "Queen Wu", which cost 30 billion won to produce. Even if the misunderstanding of the Northeast Project's history distortion was resolved in the Chinese-style historical drama, it was not the only problem when it was opened. 'Queen Wu' is a chase-action historical drama in which the sudden death of the king causes the princes seeking the throne and the target of five tribes seeking power to struggle to establish a new king within 24 hours. It was expected to draw an enterprising female image as a one-top drama set in the Goguryeo era.
Part 1 of 'Queen Wu, which was unveiled on the 29th, depicts the journey of Queen Wu (Jeon Jong-seo) to find a new king to take responsibility for the future of her and her family, satisfying the hearts of viewers to some extent. In addition to being a female protagonist who is good at martial arts, she has sharp judgment and the ability to pioneer her own path, so viewers will be satisfied with her. Even Jeon Jong-seo's somewhat awkward acting was well harmonized with historical drama tones, which also contributed to the less awkward appearance. Even his love story draws attention. Queen Woo and her hidden love, who married the second prince, Ko Nam-moo (Ji Chang-wook), who was not wanted by her sister, also received attention, and the strange tension with Eulpaso (Kim Moo-yeol) also raised questions. As a result, the conflict between Wu Sun (Jeong Yu-mi), his older sister and daughter-in-law of Queen Wu, who took the position of Queen Wu, was closely depicted, adding to the fun.
Controversies related to costumes, which were controversial even before the drama began, do not seem to be seen in this work. There was a story of Chinese-style clothing first, but as it was said that it was borrowed from Goguryeo murals, there was no intrusive costume, and from the beginning, it erased the misunderstanding with a production showing where Goguryeo's main enemy was.
However, the problem of 'Queen Wu' lies elsewhere. There was already a rumor that it would be 'the greatest water level ever' even before the broadcast, but apart from the water level, the exhibition of such an unpleasant female body was enough to arouse viewers' antipathy. Female actors were required to be exposed even in scenes that were not necessary, and even the scenes of sexual intercourse between actresses were unfolded for a long time, completing the absurd screen. It is questionable whether such a scene should be drawn this long, and the scene even gives the impression of seeing a low-quality B-class political scene. I have no idea what part of the production team intended, but all the while I was watching 'Do you have to?Only the question of ' floated.
Even the quality of the play itself was luxurious enough to realize the cost of production, and some CG scenes were awkward, but there was even a story that 'this is great'. I can see every corner of my efforts to prove it, and it seems that I paid attention to art and costumes. Not only this, but the story is also interesting. It is urgent to tell the story of what happens in just 24 hours, and the purpose of Queen Wu to run forward without being hung up and preserve her life is solid. However, it is regrettable that the exposed and incessant scenes, which continue to appear, lower the quality by themselves. "Queen Wu" chose to release part 1 first and then part 2 first, and it is also a point to watch whether it will be able to hold viewers until part 2 amid such a divide between likes and dislikes from the beginning.
