Studio Dragon is set to produce the adaptation of the Naver Webtoon 'High School Queen.'
Scheduled for release in 2027, 'High School Queen' follows Kim Cheong-ha, Joseon's greatest warrior and queen, who awakens in the body of a high school girl victimized by bullying 400 years later. She uses her royal grace and martial arts skills to confront evildoers while seeking the dreams and love she could not achieve in her past life.
The series is based on the Naver Webtoon 'High School Queen,' written by Criti and illustrated by Nehae. Director Yoon Seong-sik, known for works like 'Gwigung,' 'Mr. Queen,' and 'Kakshi: The Story of a Hero,' will helm the project, with the script penned by Lee Jeong-tae. Production is a collaboration between Studio Dragon, Mog Film, and Jaedam Media, and it will be released as a Tving original.
Kim Se-jeong will portray Kim Cheong-ha, who awakens in the body of Kim Da-jin, a high school girl bullied at school. With the instincts of a queen and a warrior, she will confront those who have taken advantage of her.
Kim Se-jeong expressed her excitement, stating, “I feel that this character encompasses various aspects of the roles I have played, and I am preparing with both excitement and pressure. The narrative and the joy of each episode are significant, so I am practicing a lot for acting and action.”
She added, “I will do my best to bring great fun and emotion to viewers through the character Cheong-ha.”
Bae Hyun-sung will play Seong Won-joo, a loyal bodyguard in love with Kim Cheong-ha, and Seong Si-woo, the ace of the kendo club. He will showcase contrasting charms as a devoted bodyguard in the past and a prickly kendo ace in the present.
Bae Hyun-sung remarked, “The story, which blends action, romance, and fantasy, is intriguing and fun. Since it traverses between the past and present, I believe I can show various sides of myself, and I am looking forward to it.”
Jo Han-kyul will take on the roles of King Lee Nyoung, the absolute power of Joseon, and the mysterious transfer student Lee Do-yoon. He will develop unpredictable relationships with Kim Cheong-ha and Seong Si-woo.
Jo Han-kyul expressed his gratitude, saying, “I am honored and happy to be part of such a great work as 'High School Queen.' I was thrilled to hear the casting news, and I am already looking forward to filming day by day. I will prepare hard to show a good performance, so please look forward to it and support me.”
