It’s the Goguryeo era of imperial rule in Korea, and the heirless King Go-guk-cheon (Ji Chang-wook) is dead. Without a son to inherit the king’s throne, the five tribes across the land fiercely battle for power. It falls on the newly-widowed Queen Woo (Jeon Jong-seo) to establish a new king—and ensure her people’s survival—by marrying one of the king’s power-hungry brothers in the next 24 hours. If the five tribes hear of the king’s death, a similar fate awaits Queen Woo. Can she find the right suitor in time to prevent the collapse of the Goguryeo Kingdom?
QUEEN WOO is directed by Jung Se-kyo (“Oh! My Gran”) and written by Lee Byoung-hak (“The Royal Tailor”). Julie Choi, Ha Yong-soo, Ken Oh, John Yoo, Kwon Oh-hyun and Son Eun-ju serve as Executive Producers. The series is produced by CJ ENM Studios, Andmarq and Compass Pictures.
