Official Empress Ki Thread


Lexurite

Recommended Posts

Somehow Empress Ki reminds me so much of What Happened in Bali, in terms of characters.

 

Ha Ji Won's character in WHIB was also in a love triangle and you didn't know which of the men she really loved. Only in the last episode/last minutes of the show it was revealed that she actually loved Jo In Sung's character more.

 

SN gives me the same vibe as the main girl in WHIB. Not clearly stating who she loves, having feeling for both and giving both characters hope.

 

Jo In Sung's character was so deeply/obsessed with the main girl, just like Tahwan is with SN. And I can clearly see that if SN keeps hoing to Wang Yu, Tahwan will go nuts.

 

And So Ji Sub character was the shy one, that couldn't reveal his feelings for the main girl, loving her deeply nevertheless and wanting to protect her, just like Wang Yu.

The ending of WHIB was a really really tragic one so yeah.

I sincerely hope that Empress Ki does not follow WHIB's ending lol.That would be too much for my heart to bear.  :omg:

 

Love and agree with the comparisons you have made. SN really is a blank canvas; I still can't figure out if her feelings for TH are completely genuine and I'm even doubting how much she really loved WY.

 

 

I'm almost caught up, I'm on episode 35. I really don't like how they added the talisman's and curses to the story, so I have been kind of skipping around on the last two episodes  :derp:

 

 

edit: I just noticed that you have a Ji Chang Wook badge (I want one! haha) Has a thread been created for him on here yet? Someone should create one, I would love to solely chat about just him. :)

I actually liked those episodes, just because of the skinship between SN and TT  :ahmagah:

Didn't even know both JCW and HJW badges existed here, I'll get those two now.  :chu:

 

Empress Ki's new episode is tomorrow, can't wait ! Somehow, I feel like the writers will troll us like they did with the ending of episode 35 and the beginning of episode 36. 

I didn't skip any TT and SN scenes... :hurr:  They are my non-canon ship that I know will never happen that I secretly wish would happen. That one scene with TT touching SN's neck though  :derp:

 

I need to go get JCW's badge now  :smile:

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: ).

 

Nooooo  :omg: I was hoping that he had already served his time, but I guess not.  :._.:  I'm a newbie when it comes to him, so I don't think I should create his thread. You can though if you want  :smile:

 

 

I honestly am surprised by how many people like TT and SN together. What's not to love though? Both of them are intellectual and fiercely protective of those they love and their own personal values.  :lol:

I am as newbie as you are lol. I saw him in Warrior Baek Dong Soo, Five Fingers and a K. Will's MV but weirdly, he never caught my eyes until Empress Ki... But now, I'll not let him go ! He should have served when he was young. So unfortunate to have to serve when he's finally hitting big.  -_- I hope Koreans won't forget him.  :unsure:

 

I think a lot of people started to like Tal Tal and by the way SN & TT after episode 25 when he started training her. Until that episode, people seen him (me included) as an ennemy (even though the first time I saw him, I was like "damn he's hot, so unfortunate he's on the wrong side"). But since he's on SN's side, most viewers sided with him. Plus those two have a good chemistry and interesting discussions.  :derp: Even if I know they won't end up together, I love them as close friends.  :hurr:

I never knew who he was until I started watching Empress Ki LOL :derp: . I really want to watch the other drama's he has been in, especially Warrior Baek Dong Soo since it has Yoo Seung Ho in it as well  :smile:

I feel like it's a shame too, and hope that he can maintain the popularity he has gained for himself with Empress Ki. He is a very good actor, and is especially good at crying scenes, and I hope he gets many acting opportunities when he comes back from the army. 

 

 

When I first started watching Empress Ki I was a bit meh about TT. Like you said he seemed like the enemy, and I really didn't start noticing him until he started helping SN. I think he, (TT), has a hard road ahead of him especially with the hints that we have been getting about the General and the path he is taking.

 

I have found myself getting bored with WY and his scenes which is a shame because I really liked the side-plot of him defeating the Turks as well as his plot to overthrow El Temur. I feel like after SN "died" his plot suddenly became really boring.

Mte. I skip all his parts now. I hope his plot will somehow get better now.everything is over. 

 

And he'll soon get his throne back. BTW I wonder what will happen to the SN-WY couple. Didn't he leave Yuan when she get crowned ? Or maybe he just came back for her coronation ?

 

 

 

 

OK, I'll create this thread, wait a bit !

Doubt it about the drama but a movie of him will soon hit the theater. I think he'll film a movie instead (even though I prefer dramas over movies because of the length).

 

 

 

IKR. That's a bit scary..  :derp:

 

 

I hope to see no more of the WY-SN couple but from what you guys are talking about I sadly think they are going to at least form some sort of connection again :/

 

 

 

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, there wasn't a JCW badge yet so I have chosen a picture and the award team made one.

I hope you guys are satisfied with the picture I have chosen.

 

I love the picture you chose. :) He looks very cute!

 

 

You guys are making me super pessimistic about the episodes I haven't watched yet LOL (I am reading your spoilers because I can't help but spoil myself  :derp:  :derp: )

 

 

 

I feel like as the show goes on SN is loosing who she was. I feel like she is succumbing to the greed and power of being in the palace and it's making her different. What scares me most about her is that we don't know her true feelings most of the time because we rarely get insight on what she's thinking. 

 

I honestly feel like that scene in the first episode will happen before the last episode and then everything will go downward from there.  :donthinkso:

 

 

I also honestly feel like when SN was a palace maid in the palace she was developing some genuine feelings for TH but after she lost her baby and her friends her whole personality changed. I still see those feelings but I see a lot of manipulation on her part and that doesn't make me happy.  -_- His love for her is so pure; if he finds out that she's been using him since she became a consort I honestly think that's going to break him.  :._.:

 

 

I feel like her personality has taken a complete 180. I haven't watched episodes 36-38 but I feel like she and the whole show is only going to go to a darker place in the coming episodes.

Can I just say way off subject that I watched the first episode of Secret Garden a year ago and didn't really like it but the way you guys are talking about it and HJW with Hyunbin makes me want to give it a second shot.  :)  :)

 

 

 

 

I just watched the scene of BA's niece coming into the palace on youtube and can I laugh at how unimpressed TH looked?  :happy:

Well thanks to your guys's convincing arguments I'm now going to give Secret Garden a second chance.  :ahmagah: I'll keep you guys updated when I start watching it.

 

 

 

Asian Albert Einstein TBH  :datass:  :datass:

Actually Empress Dowager is TH's aunt.. Or so I heard. As for SN's new personnality, I truly think it's her only way to survive. If she doesn't go evil, she'll 100 % get eated by ED or the New Empress or the governors. Especially after what happened at the end of episode 37 (did you catch up all the episodes or are you at episode 33 ?)...  :unsure: Name me someone on that damn palace who is still sane, heck, even TH is going evil too lol. 

 

I feel you haha. I skipped some nights too to watch Empress Ki. I was too excited to sleep. Heck, one day, I almost did sleep for 2 days but I bring myself to sleep (I was to scared of fainting in the middle of the streets lol). Such an enjoyable drama. I hope all that makjang fest waiting for us is insanely funny or crazily enjoyable at the very least.  :smile: Can't wait to see SN's new plots.  :hurr:

I love this point. Yes, even TH, who came into the picture as a simple and slightly scared boy has turned into a somewhat intimidating and powerful man. I wish TH and SN could just get out of the palace with their son and live their lives in peace and comfort.  :derp:

 

 

Yeah, she's the late Emperor mother (TH's young half-bro) and TH's father fav that's why she's now Empress Dowager.

 

Me too, anticipating is where all the fun is at  :smile:

 

 

Just saw this on Ha Ji Won's Instagram lol :

I swear, HJW is worse than us at shipping ! :hurr:  

A fan actually created that comic book and gave it to HJW. What is really funny is she let the actor who is playing TT read it!  :lol:

What I liked about todays episode is that we can see that SN does care for him . I think he let her down. I still dont feel too good about her making all those plans behind his back with WY since the last episode. But now I am hopeful for my OTP her eyes were full of emotions even when acting angry you could tell she cares.  :ilove:

 

I think he did need to go see the new empress, even Golta was pleading with him. But he should have talked about this with SN beforehand. TH is weak he kind of still depends too much on others to make decisions. I hope he finally becomes a self thinking emperor. He has grown a lot, now he needs to go the extra step. 

Seriously everyone is freaking crazy in that palace. But power tends to do that to people. Its funny that the new empress is a total psycho. 

 

Side note

tumblr_n2n1fuxqyt1rcih7jo8_r1_250.giftumblr_n2n1fuxqyt1rcih7jo9_r1_250.gif cr.thelookoflove18

 

It bothers me how TH looks here. It seems like he doesnt trust her or is afraid of something. 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't like the first scene of the drama anymore lol. She looks super happy to be with him, but he looks so unsure of her. 

 

 

What I could see happening in the next episodes is that WY and SN continue to meet and plan together, and TH finds out and thinks that they are seeing each other, and that's why in this scene TH makes the speech that he does. And maybe along the way WY and SN find out that Maha is their son and that's why she looks at him like that in the opening scene and that's why he looks so upset; because he could have had it all under different circumstances.

 

 

 

 

 

ot: I'm watching Secret Garden, and I love it haha. I'm already on episode 3. 

It's hard juggling two dramas LOL

I hope the truth about Maha's real parents will not be revealed to everyone because it would be the end of SN & WY. They could be accused of treason and attempt at snatching the throne or something.  -_-

Also I feel like SN will try to get a rid of ED by sending her for good this time to the monastery she belongs to ! (ED shouldn't have sided against SN, it's going to bite her in the arse in 3...2...1...)

 

 

 

I actually envy you. I've nothing else to watch except Eki. I feel so empty from thursday to sunday.  :._.:

Siiigh, I should catch up YWCFTS' episodes since it ended but I'm too lazy for that.  :unsure:

Anyway, happy to see the second attempt was the good !

 

 

The last person I want finding out about the baby is TH LOL. That would be super bad. I can actually see him holding a permanent grudge against her if he finds out. Their relationship would definitely never be the same.  :unsure:

 

I want WY to find out, and SN, but I don't want the whole world to. As bad as it sounds, I want them to keep it a secret.

 

 

And yes, ED needs to go. She is as bad as ET; she wants to control TH for her own benefit and power.  :donthinkso:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes I am afraid of the whole Maha issue. I hope the writers handle it well. I want more happy moments

 

 

 

 

 

 

yes he looks very afraid/unsure

then he smiles at her but SN spots WY and stars crying. 

 

 

 

I actually rewatched Secret Garden ~2 few weeks ago. I marathoned it ^^ 

 

 

I forgot that part  :._.:

I'm scared for TH and SN. I feel like it's not going to be a happy ending.

Reading different comments, I think the consenus is: it's high time for the ED to leave, for the new empress to take her flight, for Baek Han to cool his "beard",  for DK and his lakeys to just disappear, for WY to take YF and Maha back to Koryeo and live there happily ever after, for TT to stay around SN, and ofc for SN and TH to have their own happy ending with Ayu (and possibly other additions) as the Empress and Emperor. This sounds like a dream tbh :lol:

 

 

can you just be the writer for the rest of the drama because that sounds perfect LOL

 

 

 

 

I want more TH and SN kissing scenes. I am not content with just one :derp: . I know they technically have had more (two) but those don't count because the person receiving the kiss has always been unconscious.

yessh me too!!!~ i'm sucker for romance and tbh i think

the audience is too. apart form El Temur's death, TH & SN interaction

was also bringing in the viewers~

but at this point i doubt we'll get anything more than just hugs from TH to SN =/

maybe even the hugs will stop...at this point i just wanna see how they will tie everything up

the lack of TH-SN lovin' is definitely the reaon why the viewer rating went down   :._.:

or probably people have stopped watching because of the direction that the show has taken... :unsure:

I just really want them to have a somewhat happy ending.

IKR and the worst is that I want more of it. I want happy moments but I want also powerful angsty moments. :ahmagah:

Who I am and where my true feelings have been stolen. :derp:

 

 

 

Yeah me too. KT is spicing the game since she can actually won over SN and she scares me to death. -_- KT is just scary, not funnily scary or pitiful, just scary while Tanasmirky was at least entertaining. :._.:

 

 

 

Just saw this vid, that angst is intense :horror:

 

 

 

That video made me sad when I first watched it :(

 

 

I hope TH is able to see who the empress really is and doesn't get fooled by her.

There will be detailed focus on certain characters, including the events leading up to and the direct causes of their death, adding to the tension of the drama. The sad ending (death) of characters such as Empress Dowager (Budashiri), Bayan Khutugh, Dangkise, Wang Yoo and even Tahwan will be unavoidable.

Worth mentioning is the fact that Ha Ji-won's previous dramas such as "What Happened in Bali" and "Damo" are famous for having the male leads who were entangled with HJW's character all die. This time's "Empress Ki" will not be an exception. Viewers are already waiting anxiously to see how the drama's sad ending will play out.

 

 

Told you guys, What happened in Bali all over again lol

 

:cry:

 

 

 

Nooooooooooooooo :(

Empress Ki's episode 41 ratings :

 

AGB Nielsen: Nationwide 26.0% (2nd; +1.6%) / Seoul 28.8% (1ST; +0.9%)

 

Finally, Koreans turn in their TV as @yoonbora ordered them :lol: You truly foresee everything :shock:

I'm happy that the rating went up today

 

 

I need to sit down and get caught up, hopefully I'll have time this weekend to watch at least a couple episodes.

i'm a bit delayed since i'm trying to catch up but

i'm really bothered by the fact that TH refuses to see Maha when he was sick in ep 35

sure he believes he is related to El Temur but what fault does the child have for what he was born into??

i thought the emperor was kind enough to still care for it nonetheless *le sigh

 

i really do wonder what maha's fate will be and i do hope he doesn't end up being cursed,

in a sense, because of Tanashiri and El Temur's actions and also perhaps for being WY son =/

 

i hope he at least ends up with WY somehow and he is loved and cared for~

 

 

it's freaky that you posted a link the exact episode that i was watching o__o

Lol what's funny is that that's the episode I just got finished watching :)

EPISODE 42 WRITTEN PREVIEW:

 
Seung-nyang, Wang Yoo and the provincial leaders prepare a plan behind the backs of Tahwan and Bayan, who want to conquer more land by force.
 
Seung-nyang had no alternative but to take up the responsibility of caring for Maha, while Bayan Khutugh traps her in an unfavourable situation. 
 
The newly restored King (Wang Yoo) cuts off the military assistance he had been giving Yuan, causing Tahwan to seal off Goryeo's sea trades. 
 
Cr: Baidu/DC
-----
The real identity of Maha will probably be discovered in the next few episodes (by WY and SN, at least.)
I'm pretty sure the Yuan conquest would go on just fine regardless of Goryeo's military support. Oh well, whatever the writers say.
I guess the massive amounts of gold she's now stocked up on helped in getting the provincial leaders on Goryeo's side, even though I thought it was a bit of a stretch, characterisation wise (of the leaders). 
 
cr : Baidu/Soompi yoonmi66
 
I'm scared for SN, I feel like the New Empress will manage to make her fall a bit, loose a lot of her influence and all. And eventually SN will see her true colors and will start plotting something against her like with TN.

 

*sigh*

I'm sad that SN is planning things behind TH's back, especially since she's planning them with WY. This is definitely going to cause conflict b/w SN and TH in the future I think :/

Well, I think she wanted to tell him everything back in episode 40 but when she heard about his plans of war against Koryeo, it made her back off. Heck, she kept sending him judging glare during the whole episode 41. But I think now TH is suspicious about her and he'll catch her one day or another. We'll 100 % get a confrontation between those two. Anyway, I'm looking forward to see what excuse SN will invent.

Ah, see im not caught up that far so I didn't know that. Why does TH want to have war with Koryeo?

 

 

I hope that they are able to resolve their conflicts, but I'm sure that one, if not both of them are going to have sad endings. :(

He wants to make Koryeo a part of Yuan empire. Remember during the first episodes, he said foolishly to Wang Yoo how he should change Koryeo name into Yuan. He wasn't joking since he still have this idea in mind. The worst in this situation is he thinks SN as an Yuan subject and not a Koryeo one when I think in her heart she's still a little boy from Koryeo than a Royal Yuan concubine...  :unsure:

 

They'll resolve it, soon I think. The writers don't want the ratings to drop too much.  :lol:

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that. I feel like I really need to re-watch the earlier episodes because they are kind of blurry to me....probably because I watched too many episodes too quickly.

 

I hope they do resolve it soon. They really just need to talk to each other.
