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 .
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.

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.
I think you guys have some mental problem , you should wake up to reality not all the dramas are all lovely and very korean wake up bunch of ungrateful fat critic !. Now how does that feel if ur words get back to you womp womp.
This is the best kdrama ever includes the dreams of a lady and it inspire others lady out there to chase their dreams and the story line is the best I must say no cap include all kinds be it romance or war or any that a good flim should have am giving it a 10/10 and about the king who died I don't blame the writer it is through that shows how a lady must survive on their own not only on the husband shadow and the story line always excites me for the next episode which made my weeks more shorter and it doesn't fail to impress me .

I thought the drama will end at episode 8.....arhhhhh.... There is season 2!
Have been a thrilling show glued to watch the unfolding of 24 hours event. Very captivated!
Get a pop corn and wine for 4 episodes one go!
Parental guidance needed for certain gory scenes and sexual scenes. Nudity expected. It will be great with English subtitle as a foreigner watching this can be challenging.
Loved the scenes of autumn leaves. The acting is pretty professionally done and some look really emotional.
The having to flash back every episodes might be a little confusing if you do not watch closely. Enjoy!

Did you know
- TriviaThe series sparked controversy due to its bold and explicit content, particularly nudity and a same-sex love scene featuring Oh Ha Nee and Jung Yoo Mi in the second episode. Ha Nee revealed that she didn't feel anxious about the nudity. "I wasn't worried about the exposure. Sabee's role is significant, so I was more focused on playing the character well. The burden of nudity didn't weigh heavily on me. All I wanted was to do my best. However, it's a bit disappointing that people don't seem to focus on my acting. It comforts me when I hear comments like 'Beyond the nudity, your acting left an impression.'"
