Character Description
Princess Deokman / Queen Seondeok (actress Lee Yo-won)
“The queen is my destiny”
After surviving many crises in her life, she finally became the ruler of Silla. Her loyal followers included General Kim Yusin and Kim Chunchu. She became the first female ruler in Korea’s history and laid the foundation for the unification of the three kingdoms under Silla.
She was born as the twin sister of Princess Chonmyong and had a close brush with death as a baby due to the attempted assassination by Mi-shil, who had ambitions for the throne. A loyal servant named So-hwa rescued her by fleeing the kingdom with her. She was raised outside of the kingdom and when she turned 15, she learned that she was a Silla princess. So she returned to Silla to meet her parents.
Mi-shil (actress Koh Hyun-jung)
Archenemy of Queen Seondeok. As a beautiful seductress, she held sway over kings and the elite Hwarang corps. Her duty was to promote the children of the noble class to high positions, but instead she used her beauty to seduce King Jinheung and King Jinpyeong to wield enormous power. But Princess Chonmyong and Princess Deokman opposed her and stopped her from becoming the ruler.
Kim Yusin (actor Uhm Tae-woong)
A great Silla general. With a handsome face and outstanding battle skills, he became the leader of the elite Hwarang corps. With a grand vision of unifying the three kingdoms under Silla’s rule, he aligns himself with Princess Deokman who puts her complete trust in him. Princess Deokman later fell in love with Kim Yusin but they were unable to be together due to a twist of fate.
**Hwarang: Hwarang were elite Silla warriors who also received training in the arts and music.
Princess Cheonmyeong (actress Park Ye-jin)
She was born as Princess Deokman’s twin sister but only she was chosen to live in the palace as a princess. She grew up with everything she could desire. Due to Mi-shil’s influence, she lived quietly in the palace, but she possessed charisma and intelligence. After learning that she had a twin sister, she and Princess Deokman were reunited. While trying to reinstate her sister as a princess, she was assassinated by Mi-shil.
Bidam (actor Kim Nam-gil)
Although he was the son of Mi-shil, he helped Princess Deokman become the ruler.
When he saw that Princess Deokman trusted Kim Yusin more than him, he became jealous and led a revolt against Kim Yusin.

very very nice i like bidam and deokman

I see this drama of korean. Thank you. It is the best film.
I love it very much the telekorean Drama. It can relate me and my personalities. I love the story and the story creative well done. I hope their is Part 2 of Deokman. I hope that Lee Yo-won is also the leading role.
@kristine
THE LAST WORDS OF BIDAM ARE…”DEOKMAN DEOKMAN”
awesome… grabe ang ganda ganda talaga! ang gwapo ni yoo sin…
what is the last words of bi dam??
I like Queen seon deok drama because full of the feeling , knowledge . All actor and acterss are good act . I felt about Bidam more than other actor after see this drama. i like Bidam why i don’t know myself . Bidam is jelious men i konw , thank u so much for show this drama. Bi dam i like u .
does chil sook and so-hwa will be on their own at the end of the story…
Awesome!!!!drama series…i enjoyed it, feel in love with it, laugh with but sad to say, it wasn’t happy ending…i like to have it ended with Deokman and Bidam embracing each other. Yes, i agreed with others say “it gives a deep feeling of regrets afterwards…and the feeling lives longer in mind…maybe becoz im hoping it will end with love.
Congrats to all the characters, esp. to Koh Hyun-jung,Lee Yo-won, Kim Nam-gil and Uhm Tae Woong(he has a good voice).
I beg to disagree. This is an outstanding series i have watched. and after finishing it, i had some flashbacks of my own and kept on pitying Bidam because of his fickle mind.
As you can see, that is the reason Munno has been apprehending Bidam, he saw character of Bidam obsessing into something that he does not relent to the consequence of his actions.
And after Bidam was killed, I also reflected why Munno compared Bidam to a Twin-Blade..that someone needs to tame him, and in the character of Seondok, he was tamed but he lost sight of everything else. He was blinded by his love and obsession of Deokman. Sadly, he proved his mother Mishil that he is indeed a “weak soul”.
I recommend this series to everybody because you will learn something from this. Building character, integrity, loyalty, unity, sacrifices and wit. Not to mention how the comedy relief here is really epic!
and yes…it gives you a deep feeling of regret afterwards. That is how effective this series is.
i think..queen seon duk live longer if yusin just give the queen’s sumthn ”death wise” …as we all kn0w..a long time ago,
they wanted to elope & run away…sad ending:-(
@Faye
Ya! i hope they all come here..! x3
Especially young yushi! x3 (Lee Hyun Woo)
I LOVE BIDAM…

i hope they will visit the Philippines!
especially BIDAM
the series is great. i remember a movie that was shown years back on local TV with similar scenes…specially the ending…maybe bec it was based on the same historical person in korea. I’m still searching for the title of that old movie.
i like bidam is nice acting and great..
i like bidam…bcus nice smile and nice acting great…

hello,to all the fans of QSD, i just wanted to share my feeling about this drama-series. it’s so depressing, yet, so amazing. i feel sad and my heart break to the fate of bidam. but i also feel sorry for yushin rang for not having deokman.
i saw in the preview of the final episode that kim yushin wearing a white robe, and praying.. but i didn’t saw it til the end of the story… does it mean that they cut this part? i hope gma7 will show the full version of QSD without cut!
hi I love this drama!! because It’s so nice and I really love It because of the cast of queen seon duk!!!am also addicted to queen seon duk!! I hope someday i want to see all cast of queen seon duk!!and also alcheon rang,Bidam,and yu shin rang!!!they are handsome guys!!!I hope GMA can bring them here in philippines!!!
god bless!!!!!
hi am also very addicted to Queen seon deok, im thankful to GMA, they bring almost all of the best Korean Dramas here in the Philippines, Im already at episode 53, but still i watched at GMA 7 Philippines every night! I love deokman, yushin,, i always wanted for deokman and yushin for a kissing scene but it never happen,huhu,, hayy,, but im starting to like BIDAM also because he is very gorgeous,i hope GMA 7 can bring deokman, yushin, and bidam here in the Philippines. I salute all the people behind Queen Seon Deok!
Great show. How do folks in the U.S.A. contact the actors?
I also loved this drama from ep.1 to ep.50…mishil was my favorite character, she was very good and i really loved her smile…jukbang and godo were really funny but sincere with their friendship with deokman…alcheon, loyal and handsome… I watched this drama non-stop till i can’t sustain to open my eyes but when it started to twist deokman love interest from yushin to bidam i got furious…i like bidam but i loved yushin more for deokman for his love for deokman was not selfish unlike bidam…everytime i see a scene of bidam and deokman and not even a single moment with yushin i am really mad…but still i can’t resist to watch until the end…eventhough the writers favors bidam still i am able to see through yushin how he loved deokman selflessly…bidam is nothing but a traitor…
this story is very nice…it made me cry..all cast did a great job!especially bidam…he is so cute!how i wish i will see him.hehe.
QSD… GREAT soundtract!!!
I love the music theme very much… It really moved U…
I never thought I’m gonna like such kind of music myself & it’s make me feel wierd either… -in a good way of course-
also for me It’s been such along time since I remember the last movie that made me cry… I never stop crying on Lord of The Ring -Return of The King- and QSD is the new one that could do me so…
Good job U all
the movie completes my every day life
wow! very great movie
movie about love, politics, and many more!!!
I admire all the cast they did a very good job!!
..i still can’t get over with the story. i feel in love with the characters especially bidam, kim yushin and alcheon. how tragic the ending is! but still, it is worth watching. =)
WE LOVED THIS STORY VERY MUCH.
This is a really really amazing story. All the cast and crew are all very good and intelligent. You deserved to have a lot of awards.
I’m a very busy person and for me time is gold. But when i started to watched QUEEN SEON DUK. WOW its amazing. specially when i saw ALCHEON RANG, YUSHIN and BI DAM. You know when someday asked me? i answered them ” ye, ye, ye” and of course i liked the appearance of all hwarangs ( jukbang & godo). May i request to please kindly send me your latest pictures. specially ‘ alcheon rang’ yushin rang’ BI DAM, Dukman and lady mishil. PLEASE PLEASE.
i hope there is another episode, the twist part that they become partner with kim yu shin
nice drama… but it the ending story is very very sad…
i like her final words in the last episode
“‘They thought, I have evrything, but the truth is, I gain nothing”
Nice story… very nice and yet very sad…
What i love about this drama is the devotion of all the cast members. I really cried when Bi Dam said his last words… At home we have a Team Bi Dam and Team Kim Yushin. Support Team Bi Dam please!!!

Fans from philippines
@jewal: yah, i agree to that!
QSD started airing 2-3weeks ago here in the Philippines. i have finished watching this drama, and swear, this is really amazing! it has breath-taking scenes, good cinematography, brilliant casting and the flow of the story was awesome, i never felt bored when i watched this, and i longed to watched the next chapter after i finished one. i also like Alcheon Rang, he looks very intelligent and i like the way he acts. i also appreciate Kim yushin, and Deokman (the fact that they both loved each other but can’t be together and later, deokman find herself falling in love with bidam! that was a real tragic story.)
I also salutes the actors who played Bidam and Mishil. they’re both amazing! Congratulations to all the Staffs, director, writer, producers, crew and to all the Actors! this was a big hit for Korean dramas and it serves as an eye-opening tool to the youths for them to learn on how to appreciate their country’s own history.
Im writing from the Philippines. The whole QSD is one of a kind production. Its a product of Korean movie industry’s excellence in doing world-class films. The directors are realy good in making the characters manifest in a actors/actresses output. Cinematography is good as well. The QSD movie deserves to be awarded. Actresses are pretty and the actors are handsome. Everyone looks smart in the scenes. The hardwork and painstaking rehearsals of every scenes made a fruitful results because it has touched/entertained all its audiences worldwide.
We in the Philippines laud you QSD team for job well doing. Mabuhay! (long live)
yeah i love kim nam gil his very cute

Last night I’ve just finish watching the series and I was really overwhelmed with sadness over bidam’s and deokman’s ending. I really like bidam there. He’s my favorite male actor aside from alcheon & yushin in the series. I think I wouldn’t like to be a ruler because for me it’s so lonely on top with no one to share it. I was crying over the situation even when I woke up today I still can feel heaviness and sadnesss in my heart. I really hope that bidam will marry deokman. I think although bidam is not perfect he’s quite charming being as innocent as a child, a devotion that’s overwhelming, a love that shelters and also a fierce warrior. I think that are the characteristic of an ideal man. Well of course that’s in my opinion. I didn’t like it when they both died at the end it’s so tragic and dramatic!!! Oh my!!! I think I wanna cry again!!huhuhuhuh(‘_’)
Never though history can be so fascinating not like the one that i got in my school. I like to watch this movie.. and learn korean culture and it make me want to see this country with my own eyes. All Character play their role with their incredible talent that i often carried away. The story flow dynamically that I don’t feel it as a long story after all (even it 62 Episodes). Congratulation that this movie is a trully masterpiece. The most of all I like the love story between Bi Dam And Deog Man, it so sweet even it end up sadly.
i love this drama.
amazing..
Hii, i am writing from Azerbaijan. We watch this historical drama from turkish channel TRT1 and i enjoy this drama very very much. Its very dynamic and I fascnated with it. I like Duk Man very much, she is very beutiful and intelligence, the actress playing her role very good too. I liked very very much her sister Cheomiyong, because she did so much things for her sister and died by saving her… thats so sensitive.. The actress who are playing Cheomiyong is the best actress in this drama. I read some information about her and find out that she got many awards as actress. I also read that she is a singer. Can somebody help me to find her songs? I in a word felt in love with Yusin. He is very handsome, intelligent,and also very good human being and a faithfull friend. he had to be with Duk Man, but faith apart them ((( The actress who play Mishil is very very beutiful. She is like a SUN and in real life I am sure she is very good woman, thats lay on her face. I also read that is the most popular actress in Korea. She played Mishil very good. Korea became very interesting country for me after this drama. Actually in our real life we now nothing about the countries of the Far East but with such a drama we get the chance to know about them and their history.
Can i somehow get the actors mails or their adress?
This film series is the worst film series.a man smiling as bidam, loving, in love with a face that was lost.mother to be bad people.does not mean that people will be bad.
film series during the solo. their relatives are excluded by a human bidam.
Because everyone is different from the mother looked.
bidam must turn to the village.We should see the former as bidam.you must go to the village princess like bidam?.Among his arm could die.
last part of another character is drawn to the right directory.In the last part of his father himself does not want seymen been Remember
My movie score zero in this series.There are much better films.Award-winning film, this movie should not call into.People should not watch this.
