Beautifully told, powerful and exciting piece of tragic story telling. Great story with great characters. Even the villains, vile as they are, inspire empathy and understanding. Couldn't stop watching once I got into the story as every episode leaves you wanting more. I'm glad I watched it alone as it moved me to tears so many times,

This series stands alone among historical sagas in dominating the imagination, overwhelming the senses, taking you back in time where cunning and intellect ruled the day. A time when power and might was achieved through winning the hearts and minds of the people. This is what it took to rule and two powerful women who possessed these qualities in abundance fought to win a kingdom. Lady Mishil whose sphere of influence dominated Shilla and who ruled by proxy made for a formidable villian. By using just cause and principle, she was able to achieve the impossible. Only to be succeeded by Queen Seon Duk who wrestled this power away from her to become Korea's first female monarch. It is said that fear is the offspring of the unknown which creates mistrust and Seon Duk through her cunning made good use of this strategy to thwart her enemies. Turmoil, romance, intrigue and suspense come to a head in this one of a kind drama series which will definitely captivate you from beginning to end.

If you're entertained by subtle (and not so subtle) court intrigue, romance, power struggles and a peek into palace life, then look no further than Queen Seon Duk. Even if historicals are not your cup of tea, your preferences will permanently change after watching this. It is rare to experience a drama where I did not only root for the underdog, but also gained some compassion and understanding for the "bad guys". Lady Mishil is a most memorable villain! Her acting/character development was just amazing. It was easy to hate her evil schemes, but I also felt a grudging admiration for her--what a scene stealer! Like other excellent historical Korean dramas, this one completely hijacked my emotions! The characters were multi-layered and the twists of the story were entirely addictive (so get ready to lose some sleep). Queen Seon Duk is among my top picks; right up there with Jumong, Yi San, and Sungkyunkwan Scandal!

I loved it but the ending.........again no happyness for the main characters. I thought they deserved it. I can't even begin to express how disappointed AND shocked I was.

When a kdrama is this spectacular, many words are not needed. Everything was great --the storyline, actors, suspense, sadness, humor and, of course, the musical score. Great ending.

Just when I didn't think it could get any better...after episode 28 I was astounded. Didn't want to begin another historical (I'm watching Chuno & Deep Rooted Tree), but I'm glad I started Queen Seon-duk. After watching 28 episodes the pace hasn't lagged. The story is well-written and the actors deliver strong performances. **SPOILER** If you're watching this to see Kim Nam-gil be patient he doesn't show up until around episode 22 and he's absolutely fabulous! I was thrilled to see (in episode 23) how Kim Yoo-shin (Uhm Tae-woong) finally realized his "power".

Que gran serie histórica. Además lo mejor que tiene son los finales de cada capitulo. Excelentes guionistas y continuistas que saben mantener al espectador siempre con las ganas de ver más. Para que hablar del personaje Mishil, una gran antagonista que se lleva una parte importante del peso de la serie. Bueno y el elenco, que completa con buena dosis de tragedia y comedia la historia.
