Official Empress Ki Thread


Lexurite

Recommended Posts

I think it was obvious that Emperor and Nyang would end up but in a tragic way. Like she doesn't really love him and I think that this is the thing they changed. They made her fall in love with Emperor. I don't think that they originally wanted to include romantic scenes for them but since they saw that the public wants them together in a loving way, they quickly changed some parts.

Sure she was sad on her wedding day but that's the part of moving on. She has a life with Emperor and her baby now. She is letting go of her first love.

 

I thought they looked good together from the beginning. idk why but I always shipped them and after 34 episodes finally T_T 

I saw the raw episode bc my feels ;u;

I hope they end up together. 

 

Hi everyone! ^^ I just found this thread while looking for a Ji Chang Wook (baby emperor) one

hi! welcome! i think it also has to do with ji chang wook being so handsome you know?

i think people normally come to favor the better looking actor as the triumphant love interest ... (sorry joo jin mo, still good looking though ^^)

it also helps that ji chang wook's portrayal of the emperor is so good and charming! from his childish, annoying yet cute antics to his growth into a more confident emperor =)

 

Hi ^^

Yea I think for me was the portrayal. He was so childish and kind of lost in this world. His character has grown so much. I just liked their chemistry too. I actually started watching Empress Ki after watching the OST video on LOEN.... I thought WY was evil lol so I guess I was biased before I started the drama.

I think even if TH accepts Maha he shouldnt stay in the palace. TH would obviously make Ayu his heir since he is his son. Maha would feel jealousy and resentment towards SH since she took his "mothers" place etc. For him to have a happier life he should leave the palace. 

 

I didnt like the time jump :( i wanted to enjoy her pregnancy.

 

Baby Ayu is so cute :ahmagah:  and his daddy looked so happy and proud

I assume SN will give Maha to Wang Yu and he will raise him alone. That's why she might have cried in her wedding. She loses her first love and her first child all for once.

Maybe that's why Tahwan said during the opening scene that it's because of her that Wang Yu is still alive.

 

Yes I am hoping for this

It would be the best solution imo

PROBABLY THE CUTEST BABY I HAVE EVER SEEN IN A KDRAMA.

 

 

I hope they won't follow the novel because in the novel Tahwan and SN will grow apart once she knows that Maha is her child because she will try to make him the crown prince and not Ayu. Tahwan will be against Maha being the crown prince.

Let's hope it won't turn out this way. As far as I know they didn't follow the novel that much.

 

 

I hope so much that they dont make them grow apart T___T i want them to end up together 

I dont see SN doing that either. 

This drama has me on my toes bc I dont know what is going to happen and I want TH-SN to end up together. I think the drama should have been ~40 episodes so they can wrap it up nicely soon. But since it is 50 it worries me

I really hope that the opening scene is also the last scene. I don't want Tahwan losing his beloved family.

 

Yes I want that to be the ending. She becomes the Empress and they are all one happy family... the end  :ilove:

let's pray.

honestly i can't imagine SN pushing Maha for the crown prince since she also has another child who is the rightful crown prince. it would have made sense if SN wouldn't have had Ayu but now it doesn't.

It will probably end like Tahwan will say he will not harm Maha/accept him but SN has to stay by his side forever and also marry him/forget Wang Yu.

I do have a feeling that before the marriage Tahwan will know about Maha thus making him say to Wang Yu: " She is my everything. Do you understand"

 

Yes I think he knows...he has a lot of resentment towards Wang Yoo. I also think that when that scene was filmed they didnt expect TH to be such a likable character. It would make sense for the Korean public to prefer WY since he is the King of Goryeo. However TH won over many viewers and JCW has great chemistry with Ha Ji Won. 

Prays for a happy ending for Tahwan ;u;

In the novel, Emperor orders Maha (when he got older) to kill his father Wang Yu. When SN finds that out she will hate TH forever.

I really hope they won't include all that shit. Yes Emperor might be jealous but he knows how shitty it is to lose a father because he lost his own at a very young age so it would be too OOC for him if the script writers would include it.

 

 

 

 

I actually read "the ending" or what someone said was the translated ending and it seems like SN loved TH.

Either way i dont think the drama is following the novel too closely and I doubt TH could do something like that. He is portrayed as such a good person in the drama, I dont think he is capable of that. I feel some ppl keep bringing up the novel to make Tangyang shippers sad  :unimpressed: since we are afraid our ship will sink deeper than the Titanic ;u;

 

 

 

This is what I read on soompi. Translation is not mine

After Ma Ha's death, Seung Nyang's second son having with TH was proclaimed the Crown Prince. She now had power to be able to stop offering Goryeo maid and eunuch to Yuan dynasty. Tal Tal married to Bu Yung and became Prime minister.
 
30 years later, Seung Nyang sat in front of the mirror and had a flashback about the moment when Ta Hwan took his last breaths. He said she was beautiful in Goryeo clothes (in the novel, she wore Goryeo clothes during the concubine selection and this made her different, maybe a little outstanding, compared to the others) and asked her if she ever loved him, even for a moment. She said that she always was his women. Then, Ta Hwan smiled like a child and SN shed tears.
She wanted to look at him more but then she realized it was a delusion. And she said "Peha, maybe it's time for me to come to your side. I'll meet you soon". Then she wore Goryeo clothes, wore the hairpin Wang Yoo gave her and asked her people to throw her ashes on Goryeo land.
 
That is the end of the novel.
 
This was another person's posted translation
 
  • EK went back to her quarters, she changed into Goryeo clothes.
  • She took out the silver hairpin that was wrapped with satin, put it onto her hair.
  • The emperor lovingly looked at his empress who was sitting in front of the mirror, saying "You are really beautiful. You with Goryeo clothing are always that beautiful...". He smiled.
  • EK looked at the reflection of the emperor through the bronze mirror, saying "I am very grateful for you to think that I am still beautiful even though my hair has turned grey"
  • The emperor's eyes were filled with tears. The empress felt her heart was broken too.
  • Slowly, he asked "Have you ever....even for only a moment...had really loved me?
  • She replied " I am always your woman..." 
  • "Thank you... thank you..." He smiled happily like a little child.
  • Her eyes were full of tears. She quickly turned away to wipe her tears. She sat gracefully in front of the mirror but she could no longer see the reflection of the emperor... 
  • She turned back to look at the empty silk bed, where the emperor would always sat and waited for her... for now, she could only see one empty pillow there.
  • EK then said this to the late emperor with a smile " Paeha, it seems like it is time for me to return to your side. I am coming to serve you now."

yep, there are several other things they didn't follow. In the novel SN also slept with Tahwan after their horse ride. She would jump during their ride to his horse ( like he did in the past) and they would both fall off the horse and make love afterwards. Also she would have been the one who would have saved him and got hurt because of the arrow and not Tahwan.

 

 

wow i didnt know that 

this kind of shows that in the novel she did care about him or was at least sexually attracted 

I think she started to notice she cared about him since their confrontation when she left with WY. However the fact that he was responsible for her dad's death kept holding her back.

 

After the tent scene I think she realized that she was attracted to him. Then while she was taking care of him when he was sick, she maybe realized that she truly cared for his well-being. She definitely went willingly and she even smiled as she was walking into his chambers. I wished the writers made SN intentions more clear. Hopefully in the upcoming episodes.

She will be the new empress after Tanaevil and before SN. Guess SN has to fight for Emperor now.

 

omg does that mean that ET clan is finally going to be destroyed  :ahmagah:  :ahmagah:

idk how I feel about a new Empress ;u; this means that TH gets a new wife. Sometimes I forget he has 5 official wives 

I hope SN gets jealous. Who will be the main antagonist now?

After the ET clan is destroyed Bayan and Empress Dowager will get the most power and most likely Bayan will turn evil. That's why he won't let SN to be the empress instead he wants his niece to be his wife.

 

I like Bayan :/ i dont want to see him as bad

I have been getting weird vibes from Empress Dowager but Bayan and Taltal are some of my fav characters  :unsure:

it will probably happen because they need a new enemy and with adding the evil niece to the cast it's basically confirmed. Bayan will probably push his niece into Tahwan's arms and trying to push SN out.

I'm scared but they will also probably take Ayu from her ;A;

T___T noo 

 

You remember that line where Bayan said "if I am ever like El Temur kill me" to Taltal (or something like that). I wondered when he said that if it was foreshadowing. ;u; 

I went back and saw ep 1 there is no Bayan/Taltal/ ED on their wedding. There is also a shot of that evil guy from Goryo and his sidekick. The evil guy disappeared early on, but his sidekick is still doing evil deeds for El Temur. I wonder how much they had to change the ending.

I remember that quote and yes it could be foreshadowing ;_;

 

Nobody of the "really big" evil ones are there anymore. Empress Dowager is also not there. From the main cast there was only SN, Tahwan and Wang Yu left.

The only thing that bothered me from the opening scene was not even the tears of SN but rather how insecure Tahwan seemed to be.

I know he was really afraid that WY could take SN from him :(( 

lets hope for the best

So finally ET is dead. But he once again achieved something evil, even in his last minutes. Pretty sure people will now turn their back on SN. Governors and ED looks at her were so suspicious. Afterall SN is from Goryeo and they will not accept a Goryeo woman ruling Yuan.

And I guess ED is afraid that SN could get the most power and she will lose everything. She seems to be also greedy of power. That's why she is probably the one not letting SN become Empress that easily. She will probably encourage Bayan to introduce his niece to Tahwan and make her the next empress.

With his niece becoming Empress, Bayan would get the position that ET had. Besides didn't Bayan once said to Taltal, that if he ever becomes something like ET, he should kill him. Maybe that was foreshadowing.

It's interesting how TH and Taltal will react. Talltal seems to be the only real friend of SN. I don't see him betraying her. And we all know how TH likes Bayan. Will he turn against him that easily. How will SN and Tahwan's relationship continue, now that a new woman appears? Will her feelings for him change? Will they take Ayu from her?

Moreover what will WY do now? He will get his throne but what next?

So many questions.

 

It's sad but her new allies will become her next big enemies. Sad because I really liked ED and Bayan.

 

Someone told me that in the novel, during the wedding night of Tahwan and Bayan's niece, SN is in her own chamber, thinking about Tahwan and his new empress. Suddenly Tahwan opens the door. He rejected his wedding night because he couldn't bear sleeping with another woman than SN and spends the night with his love SN (making love ? idk anymore but yes gimme a sibling for Ayu)

 

 

 

 

There seems to be a lot of foreshadowing of Bayan's demise there was a lot on todays episode. I didnt like how SN acted while they were killing El Temur. I think she is power hungry herself. I didnt like that.

I hope they don't follow that novel shit with SN because she was such a greedy bitch  person there. She wanted to be Empress and Ayu to be the Crown Prince so bad.

Some people suggested that maybe ED will raise Maha from now on and she will make him the Crown Prince and not Ayu, just because she doesn't want SN as the Empress.

Little she know haha

 

On a sidenote Ayu is such an adorable baby *O*

 

 

 

it seems like they are going that route on the show. She was saying how she would make Ayu crown prince etc and protect Goryu. I was disappointed. 

Ayu is adorable

ET is finally dead ! The last scene gave me HUGE goosebumps ! Seriously, they were all daebak, I very cried a bit because it was too intense for me.  :ahmagah:

As for SN, I don't think they'll follow the novel too closely. Don't forget they rewrote some parts just to rise up the ratings. In the novel, SN only loves WY while here she loves the most TH I think. If they make her go evil, I doubt people will still watch. I think she'll become more harsh and scary but still try to change things to prevent Koryeo people to suffer more. I think we will have more SN/Tal Tal scenes since Tal Tal's actor's popularity is seriously rising (I even suspect it was to please ajummas TT touched SN's neck once). I think they'll add more plot scenes and exciting/fun scenes since the ratings went up when SN was in the palace as a maid and then as a concubine. And they'll add more SN/Maha/Ayu scenes for ajummas again.  :chu:

In Ajummas we trust !

 

 

 

Tal Tal  :ahmagah:  He is awesome. I was watching Masters' Sun and he was in one episode  :ilove:  I am a fan after Empress Ki

In the novel she also loves Tahwan- in fact the closing lines is she wishing to be with him in the afterlife. (It was a translated portion a few pages back). I hope they dont make her evil. TH loves her so much, I dont want him to suffer. I hope the new empress makes her jealous. I think the rest of the episodes will be her struggle to become an Empress since everyone is going to be against her now.

btw was it true that Joo Jin Mo's agency wasn't pleased with his character development in the drama since it seems like the main focus were on Tahwan and SN rather than WY anymore.

 

i think it was like they were not please with his screen time. They put out an article on it. So yeah I would say so. 

I think he gets plenty of screen time its just kind of boring watching 10 minutes of warriors preparing for war etc. I always want to know what is happening at the palace. So I think he gets the wrong screen time. His storyline could have been more interesting imo

So weird. At first, I was like : WY >>>>>>

And then TH >>>>>>>>

And now TT >>>>>>>>>>

There is too many hotties on this show, I can't  :ahmagah:  Tal Tal's voice is just eargasmic and I love his relationship with SN and his personnality. I think they'll show that too. Some catfights too but not as mush as before to not bore the viewers. Since SN is Korean, they'll try to catch Korean viewers' hearts by showing how it's hard to leave outside of his/her home country, how she feels lonely even so. And how TH, Ayu and maybe Maha will comfort her, Tal Tal too.  :hurr:  I think it'll be more political from now on, we will see TT and SN plotting, thinking together and also Prince Ayu taking lessons with Tal Tal (so a lot more Tal Tal). We will see TH's debuts at reigning, how he feels a bit unconfortable especially after ET's last speech...

Can't wait to see TN dying haha :lol:

And I doubt they'll make her evil. She is the main character, the drama is naming after her and she is one of the few Korean characters and seeing how Koreans are proud and all, doubt they'll make her evil. More like ED & the new Empress will be the evil ones. (after all, people need new persons to look forward their death and writers need to put more effort to prevent their ajummas from watch God's Gift  :smile: ) 

 

 

Yes, TalTal is so cool. But baby emperor is still # 1 for me ^^

I cant wait to see TN go. She was one of my favorite characters, the actress was really good portraying her but it is time to go. 

I hope SN doesnt turn evil. She was giving me the creeps in this last episode. 

 

i just want a happy ending for my puppy ;A;

 

Me too T__T 

 

picture of the new empress.

i would say SN has some huge competition.

She is pretty and young

 

tumblr_n20gn53wcB1s2obdko1_1280.jpg

 

 

Ohhh she has the pretty/innocent thing going on

I am looking forward to this twist. 

 

I hope the writers keep doing a good job. This last episode was kind of a let down for me. I think the end just kind of ruined my happiness over the end of ET clan :/

 

Ratings were a little over 29%

Ji Chang Wook IG update  :lub:

 

Finally saw all subbed episodes. TH was awesome  :ilove:  his acting was superb imo 

what if the new empress is TalTal's sister??? I wish TalTal would take over El Temur's job instead of his uncle. They are pushing the TalTal- SN side ship. There was a lot of eye contact during crucial moments.

Let's create the JCW's thread.. But I heard he'll go to army next year :( 

Me too, I'm looking forward their power duo in the near future.  :datass:  And more skinship please (I bet the writers added the skinship scene to please ajummas who are rooting for them  :hurr: ).

 

 

I can help you with info. I am also a newbie to him.This is actually the first time I have seen him in a drama, but I am so impressed by his acting  :ilove:  and his looks dont hurt either  :hoplz:

He is likely to leave next year but I do hope he gets another drama in before military service.

So about the latest episode 

 

 

 

I think I dont really like SN anymore. I wish she wouldnt end up with TH. I think she is using him to gain power. I feel bad for TH and everyone else bc to be honest SN is at fault.  :._.:

 

I wish TH would stop following her so blindly and start thinking for himself. 

 

In the end this episode left me the same bitter taste than the last one.

SN pisses the fuck out of me right now. Why the fuck does she run to WY again after turning him down in the past episodes?

Her character isn't consistent at all.

The plot is getting annoying.

 

 

 

 

 

 

She using him too

tbh she just wants to gain power to actually be able to help her ppl, that is all she cares about. 

I am not happy with this bc we know that SN will get away with whatever she does.

 

I dont think TT and BY are at fault since she did let them down first after everything they did for her. She will most likely cause their downfall.

 

I have no issues with heroines that are a little bit dark or evil. But I dont like the way the story is progressing. She is turning evil but unlikable evil. She is just manipulating and using everyone around her to reach her goals. We cant really say this is for revenge she had her revenge already. What she is doing is for power. She is power hungry and will step on anyone to reach her goal.
