The Queen Who Crowns (원경) is filling up the audience with a thrill unlike any other, bringing together a political historical plot that is simply irresistible. From a wonderful plot, an intriguing cast, and beautifully written characters, this show is already among our favourites this year and we are excited for what more the show is ready to deliver. The twists and turns coming our way have really put us on the edge and we are looking forward to the queen aka Cha Joo-young rising up soon enough.
The last episode has shown why women should never be messed with, be it during a historical period or today. Queen Won Gyeong is ready to take the next step of her journey and we are excited for her change. While she is ready for the next turn, we bring to you the Queens of our Kdrama world whose aura has swept us off our feet time and time again. With this, let’s begin!
Kdramas Like The Queen Who Crowns
Under the Queen’s Umbrella
We have to begin with our beloved Im Hwa-ryeong who doesn’t get a moment to take a breath. Balancing the politics of the inner palace, looking at the politics happening in the court, and finding the right heir for the king, she has got a lot on her plate but she doesn’t shy away from her duties. No matter what may befall her, she always keeps her head held high and takes the next step as the queen that she is.
Mr Queen
While Queen Kim So-yong, whose body is taken over by a modern-day chef, may be out of the ordinary and give a headache to everyone around her, there is no doubt in saying that she is definitely among the best. Be it her loyalty to the king before the chef takes over her body, or the support she shows to him after the chef enters her body. She is different but she is loved by many for all that she does.
Queen for Seven Days
While Queen Dan Kyung may have been the queen for just seven days, she did her best during this time. She stands out with her regal aura, showing her love and support for her king while making sure to show the world why she is among the unforgettable queens. She may have lost to court politics, but she won the hearts of many.
Queen Woo
One of the most badass queens we’ve had in a while, Queen Woo Hui not only takes up the mantle right after her husband’s death but also makes sure to keep the kingdom he fought so hard for safe. She doesn’t shy away from picking up the sword and fighting like a general, as she brings about an aura so powerful in the court that even veterans bow in front of her.
Queen Seon Deok
From being a princess to becoming the queen of Silla, Queen Seon Deok’s story has been sung for decades in the country. She is not only among the most powerful figures in history but is also one who rose up from nothing to become the most powerful. She has had her share of things to give up, but she never ignored her responsibilities.
Arthdal Chronicles
While Queen Tae Al-ha is certainly not one of our favourite characters in the show, there is no denying that she has got a powerful aura that leaves us in awe. She has a regal vibe to her that makes it almost impossible to be stunned by the power she carries. She does what she thinks is right, and she does it in a way that makes you appreciate the woman that she is.
The Royal Tailor
Playing the role of the Queen in this show, Park Shin-hye not only brings out the aura of a queen but also shows the vulnerabilities of a woman who has the burden of the world on her shoulders. The way she carries this role is simply beautiful, but the power she shows when needed is so stunning that it makes you take a second look at her character.
Bonus: Goblin
While the role of the queen in this show isn’t much, the aura brought out by Yoo In-na and Kim So-hyun as they play the role of the queen is simply noteworthy. The unshakable queens that they are, not only leave you speechless with their performance but also become a part of the show that is simply unforgettable.
