The original TVing series "Queen Wu" (written by Lee Byung-hak, directed by Jeong Se-kyo), which will be released for the first time on the 29th, is a chase action historical drama in which Queen Wu, who has been targeted by princes seeking the throne and five tribes seeking power due to the sudden death of the king, struggles to establish a new king within 24 hours. Although the fierce competition among the characters has been gaining interest, it seems that they are not free from the suspicion of school violence or controversy over the testimony of Jeon Jong-seo, the main character, which has not been resolved yet.
Among them, 'Queen Wu' is trying to reverse the atmosphere by revealing the points to look out for. 'Queen Wu'Queen Wu' is drawing attention by building a dream lineup of actors with strong personalities. Through "Queen Woo", Jeon Jong-seo (played by Woo-hee), who is challenging historical dramas for the first time, Kim Moo-yeol (played by Eulpaso), who will transform into a cool-headed person with outstanding resourcefulness, Jung Yu-mi (played by Woo-soon), who will express two faces of an ambitious figure, Lee Soo-hyuk (played by Ko Go-ki), who will add tension to the battle for the throne, Park Ji-hwan (played by Mugol), who will complete his charisma with a reliable armament, and Ji Chang-wook (played by Ko Nam-moo), who is divided into a military with both bravery and kindness, are all" he insisted.
Director Jeong Se-kyo said, `I was curious about how actors would move when they entered the drama. I thought it was important to talk about enough in advance, bump into each other in the situation, and complete the character" he said. Also "I want you to see how hard the actors went through to create the characters while looking at the work."," he said.
"Queen Wu" focuses on the story of Queen Wu, who chose to take over a criminal marriage (the custom of marriage in which the younger brother continues to live as a couple with his sister-in-law on behalf of the older brother when the older brother dies). When the king died, he went out of the palace and selected the next king himself to the throne, depicting the urgent 24 hours of Queen Wu, who kept her position as queen herself, showing her intention to show a strong and independent female image.
Therefore, director Jeong Se-kyo said "I wanted to make it into a work because I thought it was very interesting to see the record of Queen Wu who went out of the palace and chose her own future, not the Queen who moves only inside the palace." "I'm going to show you a never-before-seen queen character who chooses the king with my own hands and places him on the throne."
The "Queen Wu" foreshadows the birth of a new genre called chase action historical drama, focusing on the pursuit of Queen Wu Hui (Jeon Jong-seo), the tribes chasing her, and the princes, who sought out a new king after the death of the king. In particular, as the story unfolds within a limited time of 24 hours, it will provide eye-watering fun, such as the speed of the story and various chase scenes.
In order to make use of the characteristics of 'Queen Wu', director Jeong Se-kyo "Increased the speed through quick editing and paid a lot of attention to mixing music and sound accordingly. Each tribe has different tones and manners, so you will be able to see the overall dense visual beauty." Above all, "There is also an action scene that will be presented for the first time in our country, so please look forward to it."
In the play, Woo-hee chooses to take over the criminal to protect her precious things and jumps directly into the battle for the throne when the sudden death of the king, Ko Nam-moo (Ji Chang-wook), is expected to cause chaos in the country. Currently, the king has a total of four brothers, including the third prince of the ferocious holy government, Ko Sang-ki (Lee Soo-hyuk). A more careful choice is required than ever because not only oneself and the family but also the fate of the country is left to them, and the story of the night when Woo-hee was fierce to find the next king and continue power through the pursuit of each tribe is depicted.
As such, 'Queen Wu' will provide a sweaty sense of immersion in each episode with a variety of attractions, including synergy of actors with a heavy presence and a 24-hour chase to the throne. Director Jeong Se-kyo said, `I hope you will focus on the two axes to find out the king's death in the palace and whether Woo-hee, who went out of the palace, will be able to marry the king's younger brother and return to the palace safely.'
The original TVing series 'Queen Wu' will be released in Part 1 on the 29th and Part 2 on September 12. Jeon Jong-seo has yet to completely resolve the suspicion of school violence. In April, an article was posted on Blind, an anonymous community of office workers, claiming that he had been subjected to school violence by Jeon Jong-seo, and since then, a number of testimonies have continued, supporting the claim. Jeon Jong-seo said at the time that "we will respond legally to the spread of false information", but since then, there has been no clear news, so the suspicion of school violence has not been resolved.
There is also still a controversy over historical evidence. Although the drama has not been released yet, the voice of the drama has been growing since the trailer was released. As criticism of the costumes continues, I wonder if the atmosphere can be reversed after the release. In response, Teving said "'Queen Wu' is a re-created historical drama based on historical figures recorded in history", adding "It was consulted by experts based on verifiable related historical documents and records, and the era in which no record exists was created based on imagination to express it as a drama." Please look forward to it as a unique content called "Chase Action Historical Drama" gave an answer.
