Historical Drama Queen Seondeok

Steve and I have been watching a Korean drama entitled "Queen Seondeok." It is a historical drama set in the 7th century. Here is the recap and a few photos.




Description:
"King Jinpyeong did not have any sons to name as a successor to his throne. Thus he named his eldest daughter, Princess Duk Man, to be his successor. The drama will be about the life of Princess Duk Man who was later known as Queen Seon Duk, the first Queen of Silla."



There is a good balance between court intrigue, adventure, danger and a wonderful cast of characters. There are also some pithy moral sayings and applications. The drama is in Korean with English subtitles but in a way that adds to the authenticity of the drama.

We got started watching it on a Korean antennae channel broadcast in the San Francisco Bay area.



Each episode leaves you hanging, waiting to watch the next one to see how things turn out.
