Deokman - The Character I Grew to Love

If there is one quality of Deokman that you could process, which quality would it be?

Deokman is wise, brave, determined, compassionate, generous and so much more. Yet she is a character that is believable. As the protagonist of the show, Deokman is the most well-developed character, and with 62 episodes, you cannot help but develop a connection with her.

Lee Yo Won as Deokman
For me, Lee Yo Won's portrayal of Deokman is exceptional. Deokman undertakes drastic changes, both physically and emotionally. By the end of the show, I felt as though I've grown a long with Lee Yo Won's Deokman. Yo Won's versatility can be scene if you compare the earlier scenes with the later scenes of the drama. Her gesture, poise and expressions are so different! She definitely deserves all the awards she has won. Acting = 5/5

Characters Affected by Deokman
Deokman has influenced so many people in the drama, but I will highlight the most drastic ones.

Bidam -
Bidam is a tough character to understand. He possesses both good and evil. Had it not been Deokman, Bidam would have been the ultimate villain of the show.

Chunchu -
I think one day Chunchu will be a great ruler because he had Deokman as a mentor.

Must-Watch Music Videos of Deokman and Bidam

I've read a lot of great reviews on QSD, but it was after watching a fanmade video of Bidam and Deokman that prompted me to watch the drama (it's that well made). YouTube has so many videos on this pairing it's amazing! I've embedded my most favourite video created by delasai:



For a full list of my favourite Deokman and Bidam videos, please see below:

비 담 이별가...Ending Theme - So sad and well made. Love love this video.

Dukman Bidam-바람꽃- One word: Bittersweet. The music is Wild Flower from QSD's OST so you can just imagine how sad it is. The creator of this video does a great job at drawing your heartstring =*(

Queen Seon Deok - Deoakman and Bidam, a tragic love story- Catchy song for a tragic story =D

[선덕여왕MV]BIDAM-DEOKMAN tribute - Why are all these videos so sad? Another great video

[MV]선덕여왕 BIDAM❤DEOKMAN - 베이지 - Love love this video. The music is beautiful.

[MV] Deokman & Bidam 운명을 거슬러 (by 쩐자)- Well made video.

Just Ten Days - Has scenes outside of QSD as well. A well made video with great music.

Notice how all the videos are quite tragic? I wonder if there are any lighthearted videos of them...
