"Queen Seondeok" Mandarin Version Full Series Plot Introduction:
"Queen Seondeok" tells the story of Princess Doman (played by Li Yaoyuan), who was abandoned as a child due to an ominous prophecy. Through relentless effort and navigating palace power struggles, she grows to become the first queen of Silla - Queen Seondeok.
Under the control of the concubine Misil (played by Go Hyun-jung) in the harem, King Jinpyeong and Lady Maya gave birth to twin daughters. However, for the king, the birth of twins was considered extremely unlucky, carrying the omen of "the end of male descendants with sacred bones." Helpless, King Jinpyeong had no choice but to send away his second daughter, Princess Doman. But Misil sent her people to secretly hunt down and kill her. At a critical moment, Princess Doman was saved by the legendary Hwarang figure Wen Nu, who then handed her over to be raised by King Jinpyeong's maid, So Huo. So Huo took Princess Doman to the desert regions of China, raising her in a small inn.
Princess Doman's greatest rival, Misil, used her extraordinary beauty to gain the favor of King Jinheung and thus controlled the power within the palace. Ambitious, after the death of King Jinheung, Misil supported the young King Jinpyeong to ascend the throne. When King Jinpyeong’s wife gave birth to twin daughters, Misil planned to use the lives of these twin princesses to threaten the king and directly seize the royal power. Unexpectedly, Wen Nu and So Huo saved Princess Doman, disrupting her plans. Despite this setback, Misil did not abandon her pursuit of the throne. She plotted to have her husband ascend the throne and viewed Princess Doman's twin sister, Princess Tae-myeong (played by Park Yi-jin), as a thorn in her side.
Under Misil's control, Princess Tae-myeong, despite her remarkable wisdom and quick judgment, remained cautious in revealing her true nature. Yet, she always demonstrated her leadership qualities at crucial moments. Although Princess Tae-myeong married Gim Ryong-su (played by Park Jung-chul) and bore a son, Gim Chun-chu (played by Yoo Seung-ho), she developed feelings for Gim Yu-sin (played by Um Tae-woong), who once saved her life. Gim Yu-sin, a renowned general of Silla, displayed exceptional martial arts skills. By chance, he saved Princess Tae-myeong from an assassination attempt orchestrated by Misil's confidants. Under Princess Tae-myeong's arrangement, Gim Yu-sin met Princess Doman. While helping Princess Doman achieve her grand vision of unifying the three kingdoms, Gim Yu-sin developed feelings for Princess Doman and became her loyal supporter. With the help of Gim Yu-sin, Princess Doman gradually dismantled Misil's influence and ascended to the throne as the first queen of Silla.
