Queen Seon-deok gets twelve more episodes
by javabeans
This was pretty much inevitable, and comes as no surprise: MBC has ordered 12 more episodes for its highly successful historical drama Queen Seon-deok, currently sitting with a comfortable lead on Mondays and Tuesdays, with ratings past 40%. This extension brings the episode total up from the originally planned 50 to 62.
A representative from MBC’s drama department said, “We had discussed extending Queen Seon-deok by 14 to 16 episodes, but in the end we decided upon 12 episodes. Giving consideration to the airing of awards ceremonies and year-end special broadcasts, we estimate that we can air about 62 episodes of this drama.” That means Queen Seon-deok, which premiered on May 25, will wrap up its run neatly by the end of the year, on December 22.
The drama is now just under halfway done, with its title character (Lee Yo-won playing Princess Deok-man) finding her way as a princess and growing into her status, opposite her rival Mi-shil (Go Hyun-jung). The drama also got a jolt of energy with the recent entrance of Kim Nam-gil as the complicated Bi-dam, Mi-shil’s now-grown secret son, whom she abandoned in her quest for power.

Love Chunchu & Alcheon... Jukbang & Godo were very funny, love them too. But my most favorite is Deokman, she's my favorite Princess & Queen.

jeez. I already finished the 62 episodes! It's a little bit sad because many of the main characters died. I am sure many will cry when they finished it. I like Bidam the most......he is so cool on how he slash his sword, his fighting skills even his smart tactics! Even he become a traitor in the eyes of silla, I still envy him! Thanks Gukseon Munno for training Bidam well! I really think he is the best Swordsman in silla. Yushin and Alcheon rang did a very nice role in protecting Doekman until the last. Alcheon and Yushin are very handsome!!! What a very nice story! I Know Bidam, Deokman, and Yushin love triangle will get the interest of many viewers.

I Prefer Yushin for Deokman.. he is way better because he really loves Deokman and will do everything for her sake.. and to add that Deokman grew up with Yushin.. urgghh i hope that they will marry..

i don't know why some get so crazy over Bidam. I'll go for Alcheon or Yushin, I think they were cool & acted normal. Bidam's character was comical & tend to become silly. And he's not that handsome.
Anyway, Deokman was great. I also love Chunchu.

I didn't really watch most of the episodes. But I watched the last 5 episodes attentively. They were great...especially the last episode. I really like how Kim Nm Gil acted when he was trying to look at Her Majesty pass Kim Yusin's shoulder...I was broken-hearted.

I am completely hooked on QSD, even though I dislike serials, especially when they're so many episodes!
I am completely drawn to this because I'm fascinated by strong women in history (eg Empress Wu of China, Queen Elizabeth 1 of England stand out for me).
I actually don't mind the 62 episodes because this serial is well written & well paced. It's not draggy like the American soaps for sure!
As for the love story, personally, I think Bidam suits Deokman best because he can make her smile (with all his craziness & antics). He treats her like a person whilst everyone else doesn't, not even Yushin. Bidam shows he cares whilst Yushin hides his concern, expecting her to just know.
Bidam is a bit mad, psychotic & unpredictable, but those traits are what everyone watching this drama is so drawn to! He is single-minded about who he loves & he's completely devoted to her. Though in reality I would personally find that very suffocating, but it is kinda romantic nonetheless. [KNG is gorgeous!]
Yushin is straight, honest & entirely trustworthy. But he's also single-minded & loyal. Loyalty is his biggest turn on. [UTW is cute!]
Wish there was a way to combine to two of them into one person! :)
As for the actors, I'll willingly become a cougar for KNG! ;)

the only drama that made me cry a river. Deokman and Bidam's love story occupies my mind and heart before I go to sleep. I don;t know. It just made me crazy. *sigh* i can't control my tears when I am reminded of their love story =( thanks for this story.

the only drama with two many special scenes and episode... I love Deokman and I always prefer Yushin for her, but Yushin decided to used his mind over heart because when he almost turned his back away from his family and country just to be with Deokman, it was Deokman who turned his love down not because she didnt love her but because of mind blowing developments in her life...
it was a relief with Bidam around, trying to make his presence felt everytime Deokman felt lonesome.... I love Deokman for Yushin, and I hate it when he said only Bidam can give QSD the solace that she needs

Great drama!! Great scenes. Great actors!
I've been totally hooked in this drama, and I always wait 'til it's aired on tv even if its shown late at night and though I still need to study! ;D
It's addictive. I finished the drama ahead (it's still on it's way to the end part here in our country. ;P) because I've been depriving myself of sleep already. I need to get back to my normal life. Haha!
.
I particularly love Bidam! *so gorgeous in his long hair & dark outfit!!*
He's really funny & he's the greatest fighter in the series! Though some people dislike him because of his being quite a psychopath, I still admire him because of his pure devotion to his beloved Deok Man. I am so sad for him because he was so misunderstood. He is not really bad.
If I were QSD, I would also fall for Bidam! haha! KNG gave real justice to the character. He's acting is remarkable. He can show a lot of facial expressions very well. I'm now a fan of your's! =]
Just like Bidam, I also like Godo & Jukbang because they added a flair of humor in the drama. I like Yushin, but I like Bidam more for Deok Man. I was really heart-broken when Yushin got married to Mishil's great granddaughter.
Men of QSD: Bidam, Yushin, Alcheon, and Wolya..(including some Hwarang who unfortunately I cannot name, anyway..) they're all HOT! Haha!
Deok Man & Bidam, the best couple indeed!!
Your lovestory really touched my heart and brought tears pouring down my cheeks.
Kudos to Queen Seon Deok!
Simply the Best.
