Story and Casts
The K-drama narrates the life of Queen Won Kyung, a kingmaker who led a fiery life. She made her husband a King and ruled the kingdom with him in the early Joseon Dynasty. The Queen dreamed of creating a new world with the help of her husband, Lee Bang Won. She led an independent life and confidently moved forward without losing herself.
Queen Won Kyung faced several challenges in her life. Still, she continued to focus on her dreams. Harsh realities and devastating betrayals never affected her. However, historical records mention her as Mrs. Min or King Taejong's wife.

The Glory star Cha Joo Young will star as Won Kyung. Lee Hyun Wook will portray her husband, King Taejong Lee Bang Won.
