Queen Seondeok

This is a Korean historical drama, which depicts a fictionalized account of Korea's first ruling queen.

The story takes place in the southeast Korean kingdom, Silla, which has been expanded by the late King Jinheung. An aristocrat named Mishil, whose power could rival a king's influence, desires to be queen. One opportunity comes when the wife of Jinheung's grandson, Jinpyeong, gives birth to twin girls. There was a prophecy saying that if a king has twin girls, the male seeds in the royal bloodline will dry up, in other words, no proper male heir. Mishil and the nobles on her side plan to expose the twins so they can remove the current queen and get Mishil that position. In order to prevent this, Jinpyeong sends his youngest daughter away with a clumsy palace maiden, though not without huge regrets (he's shown shaking when he carries his oldest daughter). The maid, Sohwa, manages to escape pursuit with the help of one of the hwarangs (Silla equivalent of knights), Munno, the strongest hwarang in Silla.

15 years later, the younger twin, named Deokman, grows up in the Taklaman Desert in China, where she lives in a merchant town with Sohwa. She is cunning, wily, and a tomboy. She meets Chilsuk, one of Mishil's men who was sent to find the younger twin, who has been trying to carry out his lady' orders for FIFTEEN YEARS. Chilsuk later realizes that Deokman is the twin and tries to capture her, but fails when a sandstorm strikes. Deokman resolves to go to Silla to find out why she was being pursued. When she arrives, she meets her older sister, Chunmyeong, and future Korean general Kim Yu-shin. Five years later Deokman learns that she's the daughter of the king who abandoned her, and Mishil once again tries to expose her, while a noble loyal to the king sends assassins to kill her. Chunmyeong tries to help her younger sister escape, but is accidently killed by one of Mishil's people. Deokman then resolves to get the royal court to reacept her as princess of Silla and fight Mishil in her struggle for power.

This series, is awesome. It's thrilling, emotionally addicting, and just can't get enough of this. The character Mishil is one of the most evil villains to a show I've seen, especially with her theme song. Most probably don't know about this show, but its just dang fun to watch. Check it out

Sounds interesting. Is there a good site to go to for this?

Really? It's fun, though since you and I are different individuals, we're not sure if the same tastes apply, but we won't know unless we give it a try (hey, I made a rhyme).

I've only been able to watch the first tree parts of episode one right now because I have been busy but so far it seems good. Are they still making episodes or are they done?
