tvN’s upcoming drama “The Queen Who Crowns” has offered a sneak peek of Lee Hyun Wook’s character!
“The Queen Who Crowns” tells the story of the fiery life of Queen Wongyeong (Cha Joo Young), a kingmaker who dreamed of a new world in the early days of the Joseon dynasty and made her husband, Lee Bang Won (Lee Hyun Wook), a king with whom she shared the power of the throne.
