Official Empress Ki Thread

Recommended Posts

I have been recommended Empress Ki by fellow star1s and it is sooo good. I did a true marathon and within 4 days, I caught up all the episodes. I'm a bit sad now, I have to wait for the following episodes, so damn frustating ! Anyway, can't wait to see what Nyang is gonna do with Maha and this whole makjang twist but I feel like by the 40th episodes, we will be done with El Temur and his clan

(since a new actress has been casted to play the next empress aka Bayan's niece)

I am in vacation (but I still had one sleepless night because I was too excited and my brain didn't want to shut down :( )

 

Can't wait to see what will happen next week. 

 

 

What Nyang is gonna do with Maha and all. Will she hide his true identity ? Reveal the truth to Wang Yu ? But after seeing the translation of the preview of the episode 36, I think this episode will focus on the beginning of the war between El Temur and the Emperor.

SPOILERS OF THE EPISODE 36 

 

 

So, after the cut of the episode 35, the nun didn't finish her sentence because in the outside she heard Tanashiri's voice. The nun managed to escape with the help of the eunuch and Bang. She talk later to Bang and explain what is on the foot of Maha. Bang figure out Maha is Nyang and WY's love child. During the entire episode, everyone but ET's clan are acting and setting up a plot against ET. Tanashiri forces Ta-hwan to send Nyang to the Cold Palace but all this is calculated by Nyang. There, she meets Empress Dowager, the concubines and her people to explain her strategy. Besides, Ta-hwan shows to everyone how he is worthy to the throne, he wrote his first letter, gives his first orders and all. So everyone is basically ready to take the head of ET and on the preview, Wang Yu says to ET it's his last drink hahaha

Yeah they were seriously cute ! Even more cute than during Emperor's daydreams. I'm looking forward to see Dang Ki Se's crying face when ET will die haha and when Tanashiri will be dragged by the maids and meet for the last time Seungnyang. Can't wait !

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

Then they should also include that stuff with Tahwan dumping his new empress and going to SN's chamber :har:

But in the novel it's said that SN and Tahwan will grow apart because of that crown prince issue. Tahwan doesn't seem like the type to give up on SN. Remember the opening scene. He said she is his everything. Doubt he would have said that if the grew apart.

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

well he started as a male lead and the star of the drama next to Ha Ji Won,but at some point he got overshadowed by Ji Chang Wook, not in terms of acting but the character,

Korean's really love that personality that Tahwan has. Wang Yu is too passive and "shy" with his feelings

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 it's true. At first JJM was the first male lead and JCW the second. JJM is 39 and is at the same age range as HJW (who is 35). JCW is 26... But there were more TH/SN shippers among the viewers than WY/SN shippers. So they put an end to WY/SN ship and developed TH/SN one whence the rapprochement between TH and SN past the 20th episode. Here's the link : http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.fr/2013/11/tv-spoilers-empress-ki.html 

It's not the first nor the last time a first lead is switched for higher ratings. Also, JJM's scenes are the most boring ones...

I'm kinda sad netizenbuzz isn't translating the comments for the drama anymore.

It's the drama with the highest ratings.

Yet it's awfully unpopular among ifans and ifans are her public... I sent her an email, I really hope she'll translate the comments for today's episode. I heard God's Gift is seriously good. Empress Ki's writers know how to write but I hope the pressure God's Gift is giving them force them to do their best. The drama was enjoyable until episode 25/26, then it became very good and after episode 30/31 iconic and now I'm afraid the plot fall down after ET's death. I hope this episode isn't the climax of Empress Ki. Let's hope not !  :donthinkso:

I'm excited to see how the things will go on after ET's speech and how SN will handle it  :cry: The scene between ED and Maha is giving creeps  :unsure:

yeah the ratings are good but it could drop once the script writers don't get their shit together.

 

I really think that the coronation of SN will be in the last episode + maybe we get a leap in time, at that scene where Tahwan asks SN if she really loved him.

 

yeah ED gives me creeps. this whole episode had those creepy moments

Doubt it about the last episode. I think they'll end it a bit after SN and TH get married. SN will reassure TH and say to him she loves him and chooses him over WY. Or maybe we'll get a leap of a few years and we'll see them with Prince Ayu all grown up and SN helping people. (but maybe not the second option since in the history, SN goes power hungry after her coronation and wants TH to die so Ayu will reign and her too through her son, so they'll cut before it gets ugly). ED could be a good antagonist for SN and with the help of the new Empress, it could be a deadly duo for SN :(
