Actress Jang Young-nam made an overwhelming presence as the Queen Dowager in the Netflix series 'Donggung'.

Recently released, 'Donggung' tells the story of Gucheon (played by Nam Joo-hyuk), who has the ability to cross between the world of ghosts and humans, and palace maid Saenggang (played by Noh Yun-seo), who holds a secret. They answer the king's (played by Jo Seung-woo) summons and uncover the curse that haunts Donggung.

Jang Young-nam portrayed the Queen Dowager, the highest-ranking elder of the royal family, vividly depicting her cold charisma and the complex emotions within the character, thereby heightening the drama's tension. Her unwavering gaze and restrained emotional expressions alone conveyed a powerful presence.

Beyond her acting, various palace costumes that enhanced the Queen Dowager's dignity also became a topic of discussion. She perfectly embodied a style that was both glamorous and elegant, further amplifying the character's authority and presence. The delicate hanbok details and ornaments blended seamlessly, enriching the overall atmosphere of the drama.

Jang Young-nam said, "I am sincerely grateful to many who have loved the Queen Dowager and sent kind words. 'Donggung' is a work completed by actors and staff alike with long-term dedication and passion, so the viewers' interest is the greatest source of strength." She expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

She continued, "The Queen Dowager is a character who holds various emotions and backstories beneath her authority and coldness, so I struggled greatly to express that complexity. Going forward, I will do my best to appear in each work with new faces and sincere acting. I would be grateful if you continue to warmly watch over 'Donggung' and the Queen Dowager until the end."

Meanwhile, 'Donggung' immediately topped Netflix's South Korea TOP 10 series list upon release and also secured first place in FUNdex's July third-week TV-OTT integrated drama popularity survey.
