Queen for Seven Days

Korean series should try and do better, I expected the girl to eventually go with the older King (the supposed villain) cus he actually cared and was the one in love with her, BUT NO! She went for the prince (who later became a King) who was not exactly in love with her, but was in pity of her. She loved the Prince more than the Prince (now the King) loved her. I expected a twist to the story, but there was known, it was just too predictable just like every other conventional Korean movie or series. Korean producers should learn from Hollywood or the producers of Squid Game. No spoilers at all.

... despite almost giving up on it a number of times. I love K dramas and have enjoyed many of their historical genre, but this did not work for me. It is hard to put my finger on why, but perhaps it is because the whole production needed to work so hard to create a romance out of the historical source. The plotting in particular seemed to be overly desperate at times. This gave the key characters actions and motivations that stretched credibility. Although some fine acting was on display, the challenge of rendering their characters believable was insurmountable.

Clearly many other reviewers disagree with me, but I can only proffer my own response to this drama.

I thought the title says it all and there's not much too look forward to. Interestingly, it was a good drama. The acting of the cast was great. The ending was sad but at-least it was realistic. Overall, this drama should be included of one of the good historical dramas.

What a beautiful ending!! The directing and acting are so moving. You feel the love that the king and queen have for each other until the last days of their lives together (but apart). The sacrifice the queen made to preserve their lives/love and to help the king accomplish his duty as King of Joseon during the 15-16th century. Expertly portrayed through these outstanding actors and actresses. This will be one of my all time favorite drama. Highly recommended it! Park Min Young and Male leads Yeon Woo Jin and Lee Dong Gun are wonderful actors. The chemistry between them is spot on! The writing and directing are phenomenal along with beautiful original sound tracks that will make you laugh, cry, and yearn for the happy ending. All the current scenes and flashbacks were cleverly done.

I must say Yeon Woo-jin deserves so much more recognition. I can easily see him being one of the A-list stars of K-drama with his acting skills and visuals.

This drama was beautiful. It was a bitter-sweet journey that challenges the viewer emotionally. It made me laugh, smile, and cry throughout the occurrence of the events.

The sweetness of Park Min-young and Woo-jin's manly man attitude made me swoon! This drama will keep you on your toes with the suspense.

A lovely drama, one of the best historical Kdrama's I have watched.
