Aug 2, 2023

TVING’s upcoming drama “Queen Woo” (literal title) has released photos from the drama’s first script reading!

“Queen Woo” is a chase action historical drama that follows the story of Queen Woo who becomes the target of five tribes seeking to gain authority and princes who are after the throne following the sudden passing of the King. Queen Woo struggles to find a new King within 24 hours.

In addition to director Jeong Se Kyo and scriptwriter Lee Byung Hak, members of the star-studded cast consisting of Jeon Jong Seo, Kim Moo Yeol, Ji Chang Wook, Jung Yu Mi, Lee Soo Hyuk, Park Ji Hwan, Jeon Bae Soo, Jo Han Chul, Kim Do Yoon, Lee Hae Woo, Kang Young Seok, Jung Jae Kwang, Song Jae Rim, Park Bo Kyung, and more gathered together to showcase explosive chemistry at the script reading for “Queen Woo.”

At the script reading, Jeon Jong Seo impressively embodied the character of Woo Hee, the queen of Goguryeo, who possesses beauty, intelligence, grace, and resilience and is not easily intimidated by threats from others. Kim Moo Yeol charismatically transformed into the resourceful Goguryeo’s prime minister and the generalissimo of the King’s military Eul Pa So who overcame his weakness and climbed the ranks to become the generalissimo.

Ji Chang Wook stars as Woo Hee’s husband and King Gogukcheon of Goguryeo, Go Nam Moo. Both Jung Yu Mi and Lee Soo Hyuk also raised the tension in the atmosphere with their exceptional acting as Woo Hee’s sister Woo Soon and Go Bal Ki, one of the three princes who is a candidate for succession to the throne of Goguryeo, respectively. Furthermore, Park Ji Hwan, who plays the role of Mu Gol, the head of the royal guard directly under the King, dominated the atmosphere with his commanding presence and skillfully brought the action scenes in the script to life with his voice alone.

Lee Hae Woo stars as Mo Chi, a member of the royal guard along with Park Ji Wan, while Kang Young Seok and Jung Jae Kwang will play the role of Goguryeo princes. Song Jae Rim and Park Bo Kyung join the 24-hour chase as the dethroned prince Go Pae Ui and General Yeon Bi of Goguryeo who wants to destroy the royal family Go, respectively.

The production team of “Queen Woo” commented, “We felt that all the actors’ teamwork was already perfect from the first meeting. It was to the point that we were under the illusion that the characters in the script had come to life. As we’ve just started filming, I hope everyone can complete [filming for this drama] safely without getting hurt. Please look forward to it.”

“Queen Woo” will premiere in 2024. Stay tuned for more updates!
