The greatness of Queen Seondeok does not lie in her being a woman who sat on the throne, but in her discovery and cultivation of Kim Yusin and Kim Chunchu, the first individuals in Korean history to complete the unification mission, making them her most capable political allies. In addition, this series sets Princess Deokman (Queen Seondeok) and Princess Cheonmyeong as twins, one who gave up love for a great cause, and one who gave up the throne for her child and love.
