Queen 'Woo

This review is for part 1 only. This is not a usual pink colour drama, that most the viewers expecting. I appreciate the bravery of the director, crew and whole cast for showcasing the reality of the historical era. The story building is great and the performance of the actors are really on next level. Directing, Acting, Screen writing, plot and even the BGM are so cool. The dialogues are another thing to focus bcz they hv deep and beautiful meanings. This drama include nudity and violence. If it is not your type you should ignore. The most of the bad ratings for the nudity, the drama is perfect.

Korean Drama '' Queen Woo '' is a historical drama with a focus on the political scene of the time.

The drama has a strong female lead whom we see bloom into a leader despite her gender and those against her. Her fight to establish herself was interesting to follow, as she is canning and understands how to masterfully manipulate the palace politics. The more tender storyline with her and her husband gave her another dimension to her character.

However, the ending was anticlimactic, with the upcoming final battle never coming and the season-ending kind of open, with an unluckily second season on the horizon.

Still, the performances were great and the cinematography was impressive.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

Was a good binge watch - only let down for me was the horse riding scenes. If you're going to film riding horses either get good stunt doubles or zoom out. And continually galloping close ups was a little bit laughable. Only unrealistic part of the series. It will be exciting to see if series II what will happen and if they advance on. Queen Woo is a formidable opponent and will great to see where it leads if there is another series. The costumes were fantastic. I did get lost with who the prime minister was and a couple of the others had to rewatch a few scenes to get it. Best to watch in the original language with English subtitles .

I dont understand the low ratings at alll ???. The story is super intense and the plots never stop coming !! . not everyday do u see a female war protagonist esp in kdramas. LOVE jeon jeong seo inhere.

The cast is amazing the acting is amazing the storyline is amazing. Altho there is some of gore n nudity here and there, it keeps you hooked until the end ! Infact i finished this in a day and the whole time i was so tensed up. Cant wait for the other season to drop so i can binge watch again hehe.

PLS give it a try , will not disappoint at all !!! This a must if youre into war, period pieces and esp jeon jeong so ;))

I do not consider this serie a classical kdrama but a very interesting historical series.

I found it realistic and intense. I know there were several issue about costumes and other historical matters but as an ignorant foreign I can't appreciate the accuracy.

Great performances indeed by all the cast. The action scenes are very well made, they give the right level of suspance. There is violence, cruelty and sex as there were in that historical era. I appreciate such an ending, it gives the opportunity to study what happened to discover a piece of history that we don't know. It deserves more visibility.
