The Story of Queen Won Kyung

Talented Cast and Unique Broadcast Features
Cha Joo Young, renowned for her impressive performance in The Glory, takes on the lead role of Queen Won Kyung, while Lee Hyun Wook embodies the character of King Taejong. Their expected chemistry on screen promises to deliver a captivating experience for viewers. The Queen Who Crowns will consist of 12 episodes available on both tvn and tving. Notably, while the episode count remains the same across platforms, certain scenes may vary. Additionally, tving is considering a 19+ rating for some content, enhancing its appeal to mature audiences. Along with the main series, two exclusive prequel episodes will air only on tving, enriching the narrative and providing a unique viewing experience.
