Queen Seondeok is famous for building the nine story wooden pagoda of Hwangnyongsa Temple. The reason she built the nine story pagoda means that she will conquer the nine surrounding countries. After her death, Silla finally conquered Baekje and Goguryeo, defeated the Japanese army, won the war against the Tang Dynasty, and established the first unified state

Silla cheated with the Tangs. Also Seondeok wasn’t a nice person according to history.

Queen Seondeok will always be one of my favorite ruler. Because of the drama i used to watch back in the days. Thanks!

@9razzler9 You probably haven't watch the show, in its day. The story was beautiful written and executed by the actors. Aa for the historical Wang Seondeok [she was referred to as a king in the historical documents], we don't know much about her. But the fact that she was the 1st female king and ruled for 15 years in the ancient Korean kingdom, Shilla... Is very noteworthy and deserved to be praised. She’s also my inspiration. A worthy female leader to looked upon by all female. She's smart, kind and wise.

I find ironic how the Chinese Emperor Taizong ignored her just for being a woman when later his own son made his father's concubine Wu Zetian his Empress, who in his death she succeeded him as a ruler, a female Emperor. And while history antagonizes her only recently is discovered that she was a good ruler and very progressive one bringing women as officials. Plus Gaozong heavily relayed on her with his 'male-only'' political affairs. So jokes on Emperor Taizong who underestimated not only Queen Seondeok but his own concubine who ended up ruling China.

They antagonized Wu Zetian for she was a woman ruling the kingdom.

They were lucky that she ended up being queen. She had empathy and consideration for those that really mattered. A true queen!

Queen Seondeok , wonderful to know woman did rule in a world that is considered a man's world and was successful. I love the fact that Queen Seondeok did not have a scandalous legacy as read too many Queens of history do.

I read a book about her for a book talk I had to do in 2018 (my teacher knew I was visiting Korea so she gave me a book relating to Korea to stay on theme) I got to see some of the items I wanted to draw in person like her crown, which was an absolute pain to draw but I did it 🥲 so that was a bit helpful She’s always lived rent free in my mind since then ngl (I wasn’t familiar w/ Korean words and how they’re pronounced back then so looking back I’m realizing how many I must’ve said wrong 😂 oh boy I pronounced her name so badly wow) Edit: I found the book thanks to google, the one I read was called The Royal Diaries Sǒndǒk: Princess of the Moon and Stars Korea A.D 595

At same time she almost reigned with Tang's only female emperor Wu zhao having only reigned early by couple of decades. I might also add Confucianism really hurt the status of women as apparent during Joseon, putting them on so much restriction but same or even higher burden than men because of family and urgency to produce children.

It was 100% fiction. I remember reading somewhere that the drama was so popular so the writers decided to add more episodes, namely the Bidam arc. Bidam's character popularity was also part of the reason. They succeeded though, I never cried so hard for a fictional character before Bidam lol.
