Cha Joo Young and Lee Hyun Wook's New Historical Drama "The Queen Who Crowns" Confirms Broadcast Plans

N’s new historical drama, **“The Queen Who Crowns”**—previously charmingly known as “Won Kyung”—has officially sent out invitations to its upcoming broadcast party! Picture this: It’s October 10, and a source from tvN and TVING is casually dropping the news that this dramatic endeavor is slated to grace our screens as a Monday-Tuesday drama come January 2025. Because, of course, what better way to start the week than by plunging headfirst into the fiery—dare I say, *smoldering*—life of a queen?

Now, let’s get to the juicy part: the story centers around **Queen Won Kyung**, a figure who dared to dream of a better world during the tumultuous early Joseon Dynasty. She’s not just sitting around eating bonbons while her husband, the ambitious **Lee Bang Won**, ascends to power—oh no. This queen *helps* him get there, effectively wearing the crown of power right alongside him, even if history insists on labeling her merely as “King Taejong’s wife” or, in an insulting lack of imagination, “Mrs. Min.” But fear not! This drama promises to spotlight her remarkable independence, her resilience amid betrayals, and her sheer refusal to be a footnote in history.

In the casting department, we have **Cha Joo Young**, fresh off her stunning performance in “The Glory,” stepping into the regal shoes of Won Kyung. Alongside her is **Lee Hyun Wook**, who will embody King Taejong Lee Bang Won, the audacious third king of Joseon. I don't know about you, but I expect fireworks—both on and off the screen—as these two bring their electrifying chemistry to life.

“The Queen Who Crowns” will offer us a generous **12 episodes** of political intrigue and, let’s be honest, probably a fair bit of scandal, airing through both tvN and TVING. They’ve cleverly decided that while the main story will remain consistent across platforms, the content may differ. One might say it's like ordering a *mystery box*—you never quite know what you’ll get! It’s rumored that TVING may even bless us with a **19+ rating**, possibly due to content that dares to tread into more adult territory. The intrigue thickens!

But wait, there’s more! TVING is also planning to release two exclusive prequel episodes, which won’t be seen on the tvN broadcast. Just imagine the smug satisfaction of subscribers who will get the inside scoop before the masses. The defiant thrill of having a *head start*—isn’t that delightful?

As we eagerly await January’s arrival, let us bathe in the anticipation of how these prequel episodes will enhance our understanding of this fierce queen’s journey. And while you’re biding your time, might I suggest catching Cha Joo Young in “The Real Has Come!” or indulging in a thrilling escapade with Lee Hyun Wook in “Search”? Because why not fill the gap with a little eye candy?

So, mark your calendars and prepare for a captivating blend of history, power, and perhaps a smattering of romance—as every good story requires—featuring a queen who is determined to reclaim her voice and rewrite her legacy. Stay tuned for more updates, dear readers!
