The plot of Kim Tae-ri’s I’m the Queen in this Life, explored
I’m the Queen in this Life is an ongoing webtoon that started in 2022, and is set in the fictional Etruscan kingdom. The plot opens with a twisted murder committed by the king’s illegitimate son, Cesare. Cesare has dreamed of ruling the kingdom and sees his half-brother, Alfonso, as an obstacle in his way.
Cesare and his fiancée, Ariadne, together plot a scheme to usurp Alfonso, and are successful in getting the former on the throne. After Cesare becomes king, despite Ariadne’s true devotion to him, he eventually cheats on her with her own sister. They plan to murder Ariadne so that her sister could become the new queen.
However, in a twist of fate, Ariadne is reborn as her 17-year-old self, almost as if the clock has turned back. With the memories of her last life intact, the teenage Ariadne must navigate through life with caution so as not to repeat the tragic ending of her life.
While there’s no official confirmation yet, fans speculate that Kim Tae-ri will be portraying Ariadne in the upcoming series. However, the other lead cast members have not yet been revealed.
Which actor will end up playing Cesare alongside Tae-ri remains to be seen.
