Cha Joo-young is The Queen Who Crowns Lee Hyun-wook
by tccolb
Make way for Cha Joo-young (The Real Has Come) and Lee Hyun-wook (Song of the Bandits) as tvN has pronounced them our Joseon queen and king, setting off the promo procession for The Queen Who Crowns with the sageuk’s first script reading stills and an epic short teaser.
The story delves into a well known piece of history that has been covered many times before, with KBS’s The King of Tears, Lee Bang-won being a recent example. But as suggested by the title, this historical will be shifting the spotlight to make Queen Won-kyung (Cha Joo-young) our central character. The first teaser — with its gorgeous costumes, music, and hints of our queen — sets the stage perfectly.
We’ll thus be following our heroine’s romance with husband Lee Bang-won (Lee Hyun-wook) and as they strive to create a better world together, she helps to place him on the throne. But life in the royal palace is far from peaceful and we’ll be diving into the messy aftermath of what happens once Bang-won becomes Joseon’s third monarch, King Taejong.
As with most sageuks, we can expect a large cast to fill out the world both within and beyond the palace walls and, in supportive roles, we have Lee Yi-dam (Daily Dose of Sunshine) in the role of Chae-ryung, a concubine who used to be Won-kyung’s maidservant. Lee Shi-ah (The Goryeo-Khitan War) takes on the part of another ambitious concubine named Young-shil who notably has a child with the king.
We also have Choi Deok-moon (Chief Detective 1958) and Park Yong-woo (Tracer) playing government officials, while Park Ji-il (Hide) plays Won-kyung’s dad. The long lineup includes So Hee-jung (Family by Choice) and Hwang Young-hee (Queen of Tears) among other talents as well.
Reuniting the Money Game duo, production has PD Kim Sang-ho (Hwajeong) directing with scripts by Lee Young-mi. Beginning the new year in tvN’s Monday-Tuesday slot, The Queen Who Crowns will be premiering on January 6.

Good news and bad news.
Finally starting to get promotional material for tvN/TVING’s QUEEN WONGYEONG/THE QUEEN WHO CROWNS (13 episodes). According reports episode one will air Monday, January 6, 2025.
I have been waiting for updates on this ‘serious’ (i.e. non-fusion) sageuk. Now as a US viewer I have to wait for a legal US stream to be announced. As of now I am discounting Netflix because we would have heard about be carried by Netflix by now I think.
Somehow I didn’t pick up that there is a possibility (according to a Oct. 7 Soompi article) that 2 versions may be released. TVING is/was considering releasing a version with a 19+ rating. So the tvN version would be less raunchy than the TVING version presumably.

No gain, no love also was rated 19+ on Tving. I did read that Mon-Tue time slot is a collaboration between TVN and Tving airing dramas. So I guess this also mean edit those drama with 19+ scenes to fit that 8:50 air time regulation. Even in my country at that time they would not show very explicit scenes on tv channel by laws.

I am starting to see too many red flags about THE QUEEN WHO CROWNS:
1. TVING
2. 13 episodes
3. 2 versions. 1 possibly tame and 1 possibly raunchy.
I am moving TQWC from ‘will’ watch to ‘maybe’.
I may just wait it out until KBS or MBC produces a serious (non-fusion) sageuk.
(Yoon Shi-yoon come home to sageuk land).

Argh, I'm also wary about this drama due to the 2 versions and being a TVING drama. -_- Just like the other Queen sageuk that aired recently.
I was kinda curious about the leads too and have liked Lee Hyun Wook in a few roles.
