"Is this it?"..An unpleasant exposure, female exhibition, and acting ability of Jeon Jong-seo 'Queen Wu'A futile ending

The original TVing series 'Queen Wu' (written by Lee Byung-hak, directed by Jeong Se-kyo) released all episodes on the 12th. In Part 1, Queen Woo (Jeon Jong-seo), who started running to each prince for his drunken marriage, is rushing to achieve his goal in Part 2. Part 1 has already sparked controversy among viewers by capturing a number of unpleasant exposure scenes, and scenes that are more cruel than necessary have also raised eyebrows. Part 2 is also a series of scenes like this. There are fewer scenes than in Part 1 where women are taken away from each other and displayed the female bodyHowever, the blatant gaze was never weakened, and scenes of harming the opponent with a weapon were starkly depicted, adding to the displeasure.
The screen, which was worth seeing in Part 1, lost its strength as the stage was moved outside. Apart from the painstaking set, the action of going through the bushes and moving between trees helped to lower the level of immersion rather than increase it. Boring action scenes and boring political fights were also a problem. The head fight of those who do not feel any tension at all feels longer than necessary. As Part 1 and Part 2 cover the story within 24 hours, I can't get rid of the feeling that this short story has been extended to eight episodes.
Even the character of Queen Wu, who had to keep the center firmly, was exhausted. The queen's shaky walking and fragile vocalization were embarrassing, but Jeon's acting, which claimed that he changed his tone instead of the style of a historical drama, failed to make use of the charm of a historical drama. I thought only 'school violence suspicion' would be held back by the drama, but the lack of control over the screen behind it became a bigger rock. As Jeon Jong-seo is at a loss, it is natural that the actors who work with him cannot demonstrate their capabilities. Somehow, awkward situational plays continued one after another, disrupting my concentration.
Still, the eighth inning, which he ran somehow, left only a sense of futility. Queen Woo ends up preparing for a battle between Go Go Ki (Lee Soo-hyuk) and the ex-born Go Pa (Song Jae-rim), which is absurdly futile. I can't believe it ends without seeing the ending after running for 24 hours. Even if season 2 was in mind, it is questionable whether expectations can continue to season 2 with season 1 such a huge disappointment.
However, TVing seems to see it as an encouraging result, even if it is an interest that has been dominated by controversy. Teaving praised "Queen Wu-si" for its solid perfection in characters, stories, visual beauty and mise-en-scène, and "Queen Wu-si" has been gaining unwavering popularity for three consecutive weeks, ranking first in the number of paid female subscribers per week, while also proving its popularity by ranking second among all-time original versions after "Drunker City Women2" in cumulative viewing UV."
