The story of Seondeok is of a girl who is born a twin to the royal family. The problem is there is a prophecy that says twins born to a king will be the end of the male line. A powerful consort has most of the noble at her control (is actually considered the true ruler of the country, just not in name). She wants to be queen and has tried to marry into the royal family. If this twin birth is learned of it will destroy the royal house. So the King sends the second born twin away. However the consort sends her men after the child.
Years later the child returns to find out her two lineage. She decide that she will not only take her rightful place but also become QUEEN. One problem there has never been a Queen of the country SILLA in it's seven hundred years of history.

Lady Misil
What I loved about this story the most was the battle between Lady Misil and Queen Seondeok. From what I understand it isn't completely historically accurate. However I like how in the drama they created this hatred between the two. Then this strong envy of one another as they understood each other more and more. Then this great respect, a respect that was even greater than the hatred at times. That is what kept me watching this for hours.
Thought I'll put a little history to show that the "Impossible Dream" was realized.
