The drama deals with a royal power struggle centered chiefly around women. Though Lee Yul-eum does not have the leading role, she is the distinctive second lead as a daughter of an aristocratic family with decidedly winsome charms.
Lee Yul-eum debuted back in 2013. Though she has often had named roles, she has struggled for recognition in the past. Lee Yul-eum's most distinctive role was in the 2017 OCN cable drama "Longing Heart" where she played the female lead, but the hype for "Queen: Love and War" has already greatly outpaced that modestly performing drama.
In a statement Lee Yul-eum said that she wanted the challenge of doing a historical drama, though she was nervous about the role. However, she followed up by stating that the shooting environment was wonderful and she really strived hard to portray the pure love that her character frequently expresses. Lee Yul-eum also said that she hoped viewers would be interested in the story. "Queen: Love and War" will begin airing on December 14th.
