It's almost half already of the year, and in addition to that, I've already finished watching the first half of the Koreanovela 'Queen Seon Duk' -Yes, the highest-rating koreanovela of 2009-; To give you some of the happenings I've watched in this drama, I'll give you a preview regarding the first half episodes of this drama and I'll give you all my comments (at my outmost fair judging) regarding this drama. So bear with with me okay, Here they are:
1) I HATE MISAENG, BUT I LOVE MISHIL. Mishil's brother, Misaeng is for me, a character who is only relying on Mishil's power (of course no doubt about it, just like Seolwon, Eulje, Hajong and Bojong). He's the character that has so many words to say, but what he's saying doesn't suit him because he is sometime overpowered by his sister, Mishil. Not to mention, most of his plans were thrown away, just because of the mere fact that he doesn't know what to do when his plans would fail. Out of his plans, he has only shown 25% achievement, oh not really, his plan was to kill Princess Deokman not Princess Cheonmyeong.
On the other hand, I love Mishil because of these five reasons: One, she's so POWERFUL -she dethroned King Jinji!-. Two, at least HER PLANS WORKED OUT (unlike Misaeng), she will do her evil plans at the right time. Three, look at those POOPING EYES- it's very expressive. Four, Go Hyun Jung really worked it out as the infectious, evilicious Lady Mishil, and I could say she really fits in her role. Fifth, whenver she plans to do something, it has always come from behind. Above all, I like Lady Mishil among all of the villain roles I've seen in some Koreanovelas, and I could say Go Hyun Jung really deserves that MBC "Daesang (Highest Excellence)" Award she got last December 2009.2) WHO's SEORI?. Ooops, I didn't take that seriously and literally, PEACE!. I mean at first, Who is she? and Why is it that she's one of the Mishi;'s friends?. Episodes came, until that Episode 23 when I realized her role in the story -She is the one telling Mishil when will be the next eclipse (Of course, Mishil wants that, it's Heaven's Will - She will do something bad again). It's too bad that I recognize her on the latter part of the story, until Episode 25/26 when she died. But nevertheless, I like her because she's not really as evil as Mishil, she has still CONSCIENCE.
3) I LIKE HWARANGS.They're brave, they're strong and they're fearless. For me, I like Yushin, Alcheon and Imjong. Oh I forgot one name -WOLYA- I'm looking forward to this character.
4) SHIYEOL -A SPECIAL CHARACTER-.
Moon Ji Yoon plays Shi Yeol, a character with a heart. Among all of the hwarangs, he is unique from the rest because even though he's not that brave, he still catched my attention. Why?, because he is the hwarang who really brings the importance of FRIENDSHIP. He clings on & gives advices to his co-hwarangs for moral support and for the hope on becoming a strong man. I have to say, that I was touched and I was crying deep inside when he died on this drama.

5) THE ENTRANCE OF BIDAM. Episode 22 came, and Bidam is there!. Well, there's nothing special for me when he came, aside from his deep character and good looks. But I hope, he will
bring excitement to the show. Well, I could say his character really believes that Princess Deokman will be a great leader until she became Queen Seon Duk. In fairness to his character, he (togther with Kim Yushin) helped Princess Deokman to bring her to the palace in Episode 28 & finally Episode 29. Also, he is still on Princess Deokman's side, even though he's the son of Lady Mishil from King Jinji. I hope Bidam will continue to be on Princess Deokman's side and will bring their friendship always in their hearts in the upcoming episodes.6) WOMAN-TO-WOMAN CATFIGHT. Princess Deokman is SMART and she really knows WHAT TO DO WITH HER PEOPLE; But Mishil is POWERFUL!. What I could say is that, both of them has her own strengths and weaknesses, I love Princess Deokman for her STRONG PERSONALITY and I also love Lady Mishil for her witty actions.
7) THE YUSHIN-DEOKMAN-BIDAM LOVE TRIANGLE. I love Yushin for Princess Deokman, not because Bidam is the son of Mishil, but because Yushin is willing to give his all to become a great loyal friend to Princess Deokman. (Look at the photo below, they're very cool!).
8) WHY DO I'D STILL LIKE DAENAMBO?. Among all of the antagonists, for me, he is worth-watching. Because even though I don't like his father (Misaeng), the camera love his face, it's very pleasant to my eyes, and everytime I get to see him on the show, he looks so innocent and his looks and action are very deceiving, which makes me more surprised.
