Cha Joo Young and Lee Hyun Wook bid farewell to the years of regret in the Joseon they helped build.

The final episode of The Queen Who Crowns recorded its highest ratings yet, with a nationwide average viewership of 6.6% and a peak of 8.0%.

In this episode, Wonkyeong (played by Cha Joo Young) and Yi Bang Won (Lee Hyun Wook) endured the heartbreaking loss of their youngest son, Grand Prince Seongnyeong.

Prince Seongnyeong’s last moment was that of his parents being amicable/harmonious right after Queen Wongyeong mentioned his birth felt like a gift from the heavens to prevent the King & Queen from being divided. He turned out to be exactly that at the end #TheQueenWhoCrownsEp12 pic.twitter.com/EjiyGmyich — Sam (@UserSsam) February 10, 2025
