Jeon Jong Seo to Challenge Herself with Historical Drama For The First Time in 5 Years Since Debut
Jeon Jong Seo, who made her debut by walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, will be challenging herself with a historical drama for the first time since her debut.
On April 18th, the production team of TVING’s original series “The Queen Woo” confirmed the casting of Jeon Jong Seo.
“The Queen Woo” is a chase-action historical drama about Queen Woo, who becomes the target of five tribes trying to seize power after the sudden death of the king, struggling to establish a new king within 24 hours.
Scheduled to be released in 2024, “The Queen Woo” is a work based on the record of Queen Woo, who maintained her power through an unusual practice of levirate marriage in Korean history.
Jeon Jong Seo, who plays the role of Queen Woo, an individual who marries one of her husband’s younger brothers to protect her family and tribe after the king’s death, is expected to draw attention to how she will pull off her first historical drama.
The production team of “The Queen Woo” has raised expectations by saying, “We plan to create a queen character who directly selects the next king to the throne, rather than a queen who stays inside the palace and only moves her feet behind the scenes.“
Fans are also highly anticipating the various collections of traditional Korean dresses that Jeon Jong Seo will showcase as she plays the role of a queen from the Goguryeo dynasty.
Recently, Jeon Jong Seo has attracted attention by officially being invited to the long-feature competition section of the 6th Cannes International Series Festival with her performance in TVING’s original series “Bargain”’, alongside actors Jin Seon Kyu and Chang Ryul.
