Seven Days Queen - Politic, Romance, Family
Shin Chea Gyung(Queen Dangyeong) was the Queen Consort of the King Jungjong. She was only being the queen for seven days as she was being accused to dethrone due to political issue.
The drama was a sad story whereby Shin Chea Gyung was involved in the love triangle between Lee Yeok and Lee Yung. Lee Yung was trying to get rid of Lee Yeok (little brother of Lee Yung) because Lee Yeok has threatened his throne. Lee Yung commanded Shin Chae Gyung to become his spy by marrying her with Lee Yeok. Shin Chae Gyung and Lee Yeok are love for each other. Lee Yeok do not dare to tell her regarding his revolution motive in order to protect her safety.
Shin Chea Gyung later found out that Lee Yeok's motive and she felt being cheated and deceived by Lee Yeok. She was very disappointed to him as she believed that Lee Yeok is loyal to Lee Yung. Even though she found out her husband's rebellion plan, she was struggling whether or not she have to report it to the King. In the end, she chose to deceive the King and asked permission to stay in countryside together with the Prince. The Prince was afraid that the King might hurt his wife. He quickly went to the palace to look for her and at the same time he heard the conversation between the King and Chea Gyung.
One day, the King express his love towards Chea Gyung. However, she rejected her love towards the King and support the Prince. The Prince was looking for the secret document that has been tattoo on a woman body. He knew that Chea Gyung has the tattoo, but he refused to request from her. Chea Gyung told the Prince that she knew everything. She even find the secret document that buried under the tree. She gave the late king wills to the Prince and asked him to ask himself why must he become a king and requested the Prince to give a chance to Yung to become a better King.
The King too also looking for the secret document so that he can destroy it before Yeok found out. It was unfortunate that Chea Gyung has passed the wills to the Prince and he was really anger and felt betrayed by her. Yeok also he has the wills, he decided to give Yung a chance to turn into a new leaf to treat the nation well. He even decided to spent the rest of the life with Chee Gyung in countryside.
On the day they left the capital, the King was acting aggressively to look for the snail wife leader (snail wife was the Prince supporters). He ordered Chea Gyung's father to launch the actions. Before that, Chea Gyung's father had advised the Prince to go to countryside with her daughter and never come back to the capital anymore. He has no choice but to protect his daughters and at the same time not to disobey the King order. It was a really tough situation for him to make the right decision.
Seo Noh, Chea Gyung and the prince's good friend, who volunteer himself to the king that he was the leader of the snail wife. He was beheaded after he revealed his doing in order to avoid the king from killing the innocent people as wella as protecting the Prince.
The Prince and Chea Gyung was so sad to see their friend beheaded in front of them with bloody body on the ground. The prince in fact went to see the King and questioned him the reason for killing his friend. Nevertheless, the King treated him as a traitor who was trying to kill the King. The King then locked up Chea Gyung who was the traitor wife and asked if she want her husband to beheaded or to cut his tendon in order to disable his walking ability and she has to in the palace as long as the King wish. Chea Gyung did not want the King to kill her husband, thus, she chose the 2nd option. The King was cruel that he wanted Chea Gyung to see the process of cutting her husband tendon.
She waited for the Prince to rescue her out from the palace. She was also concerned about her husband's condition as well as her parents. The prince too was worried about his wife and find way to revenge the King. His plan was successful. Lastly, he became the King. After the incident, both Chea Gyung and Yeok felt empty. Yung was their family member. It was a cruel revenge between the brothers. Chea Gyung later found out that her parent has been killed by the snail wife. She was shocked and unbelievable. Lee Yeok did not know about and later only found out what was going on, however, it was too late for him to explain to his wife. Chea Gyung was angry and wanted to kill the Yeok by herself.
In the
end, the story was so touch and made me cry madly for not being able to live
together as normal husband and wife. They are force to be separated in such a
way to protect one another from being killed.
At first
I thought the queen was hung to death due to the order from Yeok's mother. Yeok
reached the site in hurried and managed to rescue the queen from death. He knew
that is was the trick to eliminate the queen so he quickly found evidence and
alibi to proof that the queen has did nothing wrong.
Chea
Gyung requested Yeok to divorce her in order to keep both of them safe from
being killed. They have to live long in separate long distance as a promise to love one another more. Yeok
didn't want to divorce Chea Gyung, he wanted to stay beside her and live as a
life of normal husband and wife. No matter how hard Yeok wanted Chea Gyung to
stay in palace, he couldn't change her mind. Chea Gyung left the palace without
informing Yeok.
Even
though the king and prince had a fight with one another, Yeok still loves his
brother. He paid a visit to Yung who has been exile in countryside. Yung in the
end also reveal his true feeling and thought that he wasn't hate Yeok at all.
He just hated the reflection of himself. He was jealous that his father wanted
him to pass the throne to his brother, Yeok. After a brief conversion between
brothers, Yung passed away.
Yeok then
went to visit Chea Gyung who stayed together with her aunt. They spent their
time living in a countryside for a short period. Chea Gyung finaaly gave birth
to 2 children for Yeok. Even though, Yeok offered Chea Gyung to accept his effort to enthrone her as his
queen again, Chea Gyung refused the offer. She ddidn't want her child to be in
a fight for the throne just as Yeok and Yung did in the past. Yeok agreed and
respected her decision. As Yeok became older and was going to die, he requested
Chea Gyung to meet him for the last time before he died.
It was a great drama to be watched. It touches my heart deeply and it left a great memories about how the power of love wins the people's heart. It also emphasis the duty as a king to protect the nation, to love the people.
I highly recommend this drama.
I really fell in love with the songs that played for the drama. I love them all.
List of song:
I love you again
No matter how hard I try
Shining You
The Moonlight Shines on youMiss you in my heart
