Official Empress Ki Thread

I feel like the true villian in EK is SN herself.

The clothes change also shows the change in herself.

I don't know why but SN is probably the first HJW character that I don't like.

 

 

Tahwan should really wake up. Just because he loves her, doesn't give her the right to use him endlessly.

I predict the rift between them won't be that SN become power hungry but rather that he sees her with WY and goes nuts.

I predict WY and SN will probably have those lovely moments from now on.

And I bet at the end WY asks SN to run away with him. She will turn him down but feels the regret thus the tears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I seriously hope you're wrong ! Please, writers, listen to your viewers. Most of us want SN&TH not SN&WY guh !  :._.:  :>_>:

I really liked her until the last episodes and I don't want to hate her. Please !!!  :unsure: 

 

 

The only thing that saves the show for me

At least she is genuine towards her son.

 

 

Awww.  :ahmagah:  :chu:

I didn't watch episode 38, I'll wait the subs (it will be out by tomorrow, the morning for me).

i hope I'm also wrong haha

But the future doesn't look that bright for us TaNyang shippers. And if SN keeps being such a huge biatch, I want Tahwan to be alone rather than with her. After all he went through, he deserves to find his happiness. And it's not fair to him if SN is just playing the happiness and is grieving for someone else.

 

 

 

 

 

IKR. But I actually think you're right because SN is a villain in History and the writers already distorted the story sooo much. I just hope they won't butcher too much TaNyang ship.  :cry:

 

I saw some screencaps on Tumblr. SN has a new hairstyle and new style of dresses, did she get promoted ? (she looks so scary here)

 

tumblr_n2kvchiRp61s8t96qo5_500.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know TH still loves her that is what breaks my heart. She is probably just using him. I actually dont want them to end up together bc I feel like he deserves someone who truly loves him. She is turning on TT and BY who helped her so much. My TH-SN ship sank already  :._.:

I actually think she is using WY too. But if WY-SN shippers feel better by thinking she is doing it out of her feelings for him by all means go down with that ship. I think at this point SN only cares about herself and her son. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also feel like SN is the true villian. I think the drama shows her beginnings, how she became like that, how she gained power, and hopefully her downfall.

 

I dont think WY-SN will have too many lovely moments. She is too power hungry at this point I dont think she even cares too much about him. I think maybe she will betray WY put the blame on him. Thus her tears for her regret.

 

I want TH to wake up soon but I dont think it will happen until the very end. He is being manipulated by everyone.

 

 

 

 

 

I was rooting for her to get revenge. But the last episodes have shown a different side of her.  :._.:

I dont like her anymore. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

F***, I just checked on Wiki and saw this :

 

Genre : Romance, historical, action, melodrama

 

We're doomed.  :fyeah:  :>_>:  :._.:  :cry:

Now I think she'll rise as the new ET and fall and after TH's death disappear in a monastery maybe (since it's the tradition when an Emperor dies) to grief and get some forgiveness from Buddha. Let's be real, Bayan can't be as great as ET, only Nyang can. *sigh* I really loved her, that character topped Ha Ji Won's Hwang Jini in my heart  :donthinkso:

Off topic but LOL I just realized HJW is always working with Hyun Bin's closest friends.

Before she worked with Hyun Bin, she was known to be a good friend of Jang Dong Gun + attended his wedding which Hyun Bin also attended.

Then she worked with Hyun Bin in one of the most successful dramas in SK and internationally. They still contact each other and are really close friends.

A couple of months ago she said that she would like to work with Ha Jung Woo for her next project and boom Ha Jung Woo and she will play a couple in her next movie. He is also the director of the movie so he might have demand/agreed that she should be in the movie. And Ha Jung Woo is known to be a really close friend of Hyun Bin.

The funniest thing is that Joo Jin Mo, Jang Dong Gun and Hyun Bin are close buddies.

LOL HJW is getting all the close friends of Hyun Bin for some reason.

 

They were also rumored for a long time to be dating but honestly I doubt it. I feel like Ha Ji Won is the type to date once or twice in a life lol. Maybe because she did more than 35 dramas and movies and is a total workholic ?  :happy:

Anyway, if she's dating someone, I feel like it's an unexpected actor maybe less known than her or younger.  :stare:

She looked really scary (evil) during this episode. 

Yea I think writers are likely to follow history with her character. But I hope we dont see TH die in this drama  :horror:

I am hoping for her downfall and happy ending for baby Emperor. In the end, I was always more attached to TH than any other character. I wanted him to succeed. My TH-SN ship is due to TH love for her and their chemistry. But  :._.:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actually, I loved them equally but together, I loved them even more.. I'll still stick to SN even if she's evil because I actually think you need to do bad things to realize beautiful things. History proved us that. As long as she doesn't betray Koryeo like in History...  :._.:

Props to HJW, the fact that most of us are side-eyeing her right now show her great acting ! :happy: 

 

 

 

 

She looked scary the entire time in this episode.

The only time she didn't look like that was when she was with her son.

The scriptwriters messes the plot tbh.

They turned her "evil" way too fast. Like in episode 36/37 she cared so much for her family and Tahwan ( when she was in the Cold Palace, crying and hugging him) and now she is like idgaf anymore.

 

They can not justify that by a single speech of ET

 

 

 

 

 

 

You're right, I'm scared for the show now.  :._.:

The fast pace wasn't good here..

They were the best couple ever. I really wished them to be dating. She is in the age of marriage and he aswell.

But yeah it seems like they are best buddies rather than lovers.

They are my OTP since 2010. I really hope that they work together again. The scriptwriter of Secret Garden (the same one from "A Gentleman's Dignity" and "The Heirs")confirmed her new drama which will probably air next year. Filming will start in second half of the year (around December maybe). No actors or actresses confirmed. I hope Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won can reunite for that drama. The synopsis of that drama sounds really promising!!

 

And Hyun Bin is younger than her :har:

 

Off topic but Ha Ji Won seriously looks young. With bangs, she looks like she's in her early twenties and without in her late twenties.  :derp:

 

As for Secret Garden's scriptwriter, while I truly enjoyed that drama, there were a few things in it which disturbed me such as Hyun Bin's character stalking HJW's character....

But eh, the plot and the realistic end was great. But when I see her last drama, *shivers* Heirs.. I've no words. I read her new drama will be a human blockbuster, hope she won't stick any chaebols in it, it's getting annoying. I'll like a HJW-HB reunion but I'll not hope too much (or if they reunite one day, it'll likely be in a movie...) because it's quite rare for Korean actors to play as love interests twice or more. (I can only name Jang Nara & Choi Daniel who played in School 2013 - but they weren't love interests... but ok- and Baby-faced Beauty, Song Hye Kyo & Kim Nam Gil in drama Shark and movie Pirates and also Jung Jihyun and Kim Soo Hyun in The Thieves and YWCFTS). I just hope those two return to dramaland soon. Kmovies >>>> Kdramas in terms of quality but oddly, I still prefer kdramas over kmovies, maybe it has something to do with the length ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ha Ji Won Queen. As always I love her acting. I started watching bc of her but baby Emperor. I became more attached to TH throughout the story. 

 

Anyways, even thought I dont like this turn I am now more intrigued in knowing what will happen since the ending seems more up in the air. If TT, TH, and Golta survive this drama I will be happy. Well as long as the ending is good and it makes sense.

I dont know how they will finish in ~11 episodes. I feel that so much needs to happen. This may be good, since dramas usually feel like they are dragging on towards the end. However, this turn of events makes it seems like there are not enough episodes to resolve this issue. 

 

I read somewhere that the new Empress will be here for ~8 episodes. Does that mean around episode 46 we will see Empress Ki coronation? If she keeps on this track, I would assume the last episodes would be on her downfall (?) if there is a turn of events I dont know what else could happen. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There still the possibilty of an extension... I hope they'll not mess up the plot in order to finish it in time.  :._.:

I trust in your writer-nim !!!!  :happy:

But why are you doubting of Kolta's survival, so random  :lol:

What is the synopsis? I am curious. I really loved Secret Garden. I think they have great chemistry. 

 

The star writer of Secret Garden, A Gentleman’s Dignity, and Heirs will be back with a new “human melodrama†for SBS, which means SBS is probably already counting their chickens (or moneys) since writer Kim Eun-sook is pretty much a sure thing for them in terms of ratings. Love or hate her dramas, they still have a way of tapping into the zeitgeist and becoming pop-culture phenomena, kicking off trends, catchphrases, and jokes that linger after the shows are long off the air.

The new drama is titled Descended From the Sun, and the producers aren’t even trying to be modest: “It’ll be a human melodrama on a blockbuster scale, the likes of which have not been seen in Korean dramas before.†Yes, keep those expectations realistic. To be fair, it does have some hefty support behind it; the drama will be the first television series planned by film production company Barunson, which has produced a number of notable films, including The Good, The Bad, The Weird and Mother. It’ll be co-producing with drama production house Hwa & Dam Pictures (Heirs, Secret Garden). Kim Eun-sook will not be the sole writer, either, as she joins forces with Kim Won-seok, who penned the well-received drama Queen’s Classroom last year.

 

Descended From the Sun will feature a love story between two leads who throw themselves into disaster areas to save lives; the drama will depict their sacrifices in desperate situations and show as they bond and grow to care for each other. In a very notable change from Kim’s prior works, this drama will be entirely pre-produced—something I could have sworn Kim Eun-sook said she’d never do, because she’s known for thriving in the live-shoot system. Well, if anything I’ll be hoping for Descended From the Sun to be a big success in order to prove that pre-productions CAN make it in this industry (a statement that’s been hard to stand by given the bevy of pre-produced failures littering dramaland)—and if Kim Eun-sook can change her mind and embrace a production environment that allows for more editing, shooting, and sleeping time, then maybe there’s hope for the system overall.

Descended From the Sun will begin production later this year, which includes overseas location shoots, and will broadcast on SBS in early 2015.

so active here =D

i haven't caught up....still on ep 25-ish but i like spoilers so i'm lurking

reading your comments =P

 

wow...idk if i like the way the writers are going with this..?

the drama seems to be all over the place now and even though

the emperor's character is the most popular they still find a way to in the end lower him

and bring down his character, they're headed in that direction again.

 

and although i love TH-SN and wish there was more love

it's kinda cool that they're making the female protagonist so evil~

they just have to do it right, with good timing so the audience can appreciate it

instead of just straight out hating SN, being confused, and stop watching you know?

 

My thoughts exactly. I just hope they'll execute it nicely even though I'm starting to doubt it. Hope they won't recreate the mess that was "Yawang". The female lead was sooo messily evil (but it still was a hit... Ajummas like evil women lol)

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 :/

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I feel like the loss of her baby stole her joy and her cheerful side. She's tired of hiding, surviving and want to kill now lol. I think she'll truly go evil just like ET but in the end will finally open her eyes and see what she has done. Now, I'm seriously wondering how TT can stay by her side with her forgetting him that fast...

 

 

 

Thanks! ^^

hmm idk how I feel about it I will wait until more info (teaser trailer maybe :P )

 

I'm personally skeptic. I hope she set up her writing and the flop that was Heirs in its first part (before Secret ends) woke up Kim Eun Sook. I like her writing style but her dramas are more and more garbage. From Lovers in Paris, City Hall, Secret Garden to Heirs... Stahp.

He is currently playing a King in the "King's Wrath".

There is no love line for him there. It's more of a historical/fighting movie.

He should carefully choose his next drama. Maybe that's why he took a movie instead of a drama. The risk of getting a bad drama script is high especially when the public expects too much after his success with SG.

South Korea wants the HJW and Hyun Bin pairing so bad. Like they would be the next power couple after Jang Dong Gun and Go So Young.

Seriously HJW is in the age of getting married and having children. All the other celebrity women around her age are married/have children.

Go Soo Young, Kim Hee Sun and Jun Ji Hyun for example.

The only hope for my OTP is basically this:

 

"In 2009, it was announced that Go So Young and actor Jang Dong Gun have been dating since 2008. The two met on the set of their film, Love Wind Love Song, and were friends for many years before they started dating. They were married on May 2nd, 2010."

 

Maybe the same can happen for HJW and Hyun Bin :cry:

 

/delulu end

 

Someone already posted it for you :)

 

Just checked on Wiki and saw that those two played in the movie "Daddy Long Legs" in 2005, except HJW was the second lead and HB the main lead. :(

I hope so, they matched well. I definitely see them topping Lee Na Young and Won Bin. :lol: If it's not Hyun Bin, then I'll accept it if she marries someone like Gong Yoo at least.. But if Dispatch catch those two, I'll be sooo happy  :chu:

 

 

 

 

 

Ok I will hope for this ^^

 

When you see the episode you will see its kind of a misunderstanding of her part. She does something kind of shady putting BY against her. Then she believes BY and TT shouldnt be trusted and starts to plan on how to get more power (become an empress)

But even without the misunderstanding her actions were kind of suspicious. 

 

 

 

 

 

Is that so ? A bit weird but ok.

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:

 

 

You should definitely try a second time ! I think Secret Garden is good, good enough for me to close my eyes on some problematic things about it. Hyun Bin's Kim Joo Won and his tracksuits are the iconic thing EVER ! And HJW's Gil Ra Im was as badass as Seung Nyang. Here some random gifs/caps :

So happy to see Empress Dowager's tricks aren't working anymore on TH  :lol:

Now, he needs to do the same with SN !

 

 

 

Wasn't it the other way around?

Ha Ji Won was the main cast and he was just lead?

They have so many connections. Choosing similar dramas, having couple things and taking the same cf's at some point.

I always admired how HJW is dealing with her private life. As far as I know she had zero dating scandals/ public relationships.

If it was revealed that HJW and Hyun Bin are dating in real life, the blast that this will cause. You will she the amazing upvotes on netizenbuzz when that happens haha

 

You def should. I even rewatched it this weekend. The feels that this drama gives me.

The main and the supporting cast was superb.

And Hyun Bin looks really good as Kim Joo Won.

 

Ah yeah, sorry it's right ! He's just some guy in flashbacks lol.

 

I read that article on NB about her, she's so respected  :ahmagah:

http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.fr/2013/04/reader-requests-1n2dyoo-hae-jin-ha-ji.html

 

Lol, the upvotes would be ICONIC, I predit +20,000 upvotes  :hurr:

She is respected because not only is her reputation good but also because she is working pretty hard. Usually k-actresses take a break once they had a hit drama/movie or generelly get popular. For example Jun Ji Hyun is really popular but she only takes a drama once in awhile. YWCFTS has been her first drama after quite a while. Same goes to Won Bin who's popularity is huge but he hasn't had a drama after years now.

Ha Ji Won works almost every year. If she is finished with a drama, she starts working on a new movie. If that's finished she is concentrating on getting a new drama.

 

yes the upvotes would at least reach 10,000+.

 

She's a quite generous actress. I've watched a few of her dramas and movies and she was always amazing. A stunt in Secret Garden, a great Gisaeng in Hwang Jin Yi, ping-pong player in As One, military woman in King 2 Heart. So many different roles. When I see actors like HJW, I can't help but be amazed. She's genuinly passionate about her job. You feel like she's living for her job since there isn't a year without her on TV or on theater. I like stanning her too because I know that with her, I'm 100% sure to see her every years (and not only on CFs lol). Besides, she always takes badass roles or surprising roles, not the typical snow-white Candy you see on your average kdrama. She isn't afraid to look like a man or not being pretty. I'm quite worried if she gets married. She'll likely rest and build up a family. I want her to do that but I want to see her too. *sigh* I hope she'll play in another drama next year (if it's with Hyun Bin, it would be great) !

She started to do so much more recently (than she already did before) from Cf's to dramas to movies, so that I have a feeling that it's because of her wanting to build/announce something soon e.g relationship, marriage plans or something in that way.

 

Maybe you're right. Or it could be because she knows once she hits 40, she'll get secondary roles :(

 

I just saw some extracts of episode 38, I couldn't help myself. Here's my theories :

 

 

 

I think SN abandonned TT & Bayan because of Bayan's niece. She probably saw the attempt at getting the crown for that random girl as a treason. And now she's likely plotting against them for not supporting her as a potential Empress. I have to admit I quite like Evil SN. Maybe because I like evil female characters more than nice characters ? I feel like she's obliged to be like that. I mean, we're talking about the Cruel Palace here. You can only survive by going through the evil road. Didn't we all see how evil TN became after her entry in the palace ? She was such a cheerful, bratty girl before being crowned. The palace made her like this. I think as for SN, it's grief + sadness + hatread which made her like that. And let's not forget she's a foreigner here. I kind of understand here. You're in a foreign country, the local evil dude turn everyone against you, you see your allies side-eyeing you or trying to get their relatives in the place you dream about. You can't trust anyone but Koryeo people. That's maybe why she got back to WY, not because she prefers him over TH (I don't think it's the case because she knows love is expensive and luxurious here, she can't allow herself to love someone and more like someone like WY. Especially when she has a kid to save) but because he's familiar and more trustworthy than TT and Bayan (because she finally saw he was a spy all this time, that's why she got back to trust him). I want to see some craziness and then some realisation, sadness and apologies (but not when TH will die, ugh).

Hi, everybody! I've been watching Empress Ki for a few weeks now ^_^ I loooove it!

 

At first I gave it a try because a fellow JYJ fan recommended it (XIAKiss), and once I started watching it, I couldn't stop. I had to catch up on 33 episodes, I have foregone even sleep (for abt 40 hrs), in order to watch all 33 episodes. Goodness gracious, it's sooooo good!

 

My OTP is Nyang and Emperor Huizong, and I also think that Nyang and TalTal would be brilliant together, imagine the IQ of their children :stare:

 

Anyway, I've read abt the actual Empress Ki's history, and I really hope things don't go THAT way, 'cause it'll go really bad. For everybody. The dowager queen with her ambitions and tricks is kind of pissing me off. When she needed to get rid off Tanasiri, Nyang was perfection, but now that's been dealt with, she's no longer wanted. Has she forgotten just how much Nyang did for her son (not taking into account Nyang's own intent and plans)?!

 

Can't wait for tomorrow's episode and the subs.

 

Empress Ki, fighting! :happy:

 

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:

Huh? I thought she was his mother... Strange XD

 

I like solving the plots/mysteries before the characters do or anticipating their next steps, it's so much fun XD

 

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 :

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.

 

 

 

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:

 

 

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:

 

LMAO iconic !  :derp:

I doubt they can one day leave the palace because once they quit it, assassins will come for them right and left. Just look at the preview of the next ep, SN is out the palace and deal with them.  -_- Unfortunately, the palace is the most dangerous place but also the safest.  :unsure:

OUR EMPEROR's PUPPY (JCW) OWN OST "BUTTERFLY"!!!

The last part of the song, when he says : " Don't Go, Don't Go, Please Don't Go My Love." :cry:

 

Complete lyrics trans:

Empress Ki OST Part 7 (Translation) - To The Butterfly / 나비ì—게

Kor-Chi: Baidu forums (foxbeary)

I've tried to keep as much of the original feel as possible, but faults are inevitable, because the original emotions the lyricist wanted to express cannot transcend fully over 3 languages (Kor-Chi-Eng).

It is translated as "To the Butterfly" because 'nabi/나비' is butterfly and 'ege/ì—게' is to [you].

 

Can't you see me, I'm breathing right beside you.

You probably can't even hear the sound of my devoted heart.

 

Even though you remain by my side, and it seems as if you are tangible -

I continue to wilt slowly, because I can't seem to get any closer.

 

Can't my loving words keep you by my side?

Even if for a day, can't you accept me?

Does my devotion to you cause you to be ashamed?

Sorry, sorry, because I love you.

 

Even though you circle around me, and it seems I can touch you if I just reach my hand out -

My heart slowly turns into ash, because it can't seem to get any closer.

 

Can't my loving words keep you by my side?

Even if for a day, can't you accept me?

Does my devotion to you cause you to be ashamed?

Sorry, sorry, because I love you.

 

Because I love you, my Love.

 

My loving words probably can't keep you by my side.

Even if I offer my everything, I still won't be able to have you.

Unknowingly, my heart weeps.

 

Don't go, don't go. Please don't go, my love.

 

-

Such a sad confession that he makes to SN. My heart breaks reading these lyrics.

 

Edit: Recap of episode 38 are out!!!

Thanks for the YT link and the recap ! 

 

I can't wait to read the lyrics, maybe there is a spoiler in it ?  :omg:

Just saw the second part of episode 38. With subs, I understand better SN's clivage.

 

 

WY warned her about Bayan and TT. I get why she prefered to trust WY over Bayan and TT. They're both from Koryeo and in the past, the patriotism was way worse than today. You put your people higher than the others. And let's not forget Bayan is quite ambitious, from the start, he wanted to snatch the crown for his niece  and he'll most likely choose his niece over SN. She knows she isn't the priority of Bayan and TT while she is with WY. Also didn't TT said to her he doesn't trust her on episode 25 ? Besides, she said to WY that she isn't gonna betray Bayan and TT now, she doubt them but still isn't at the point of treason... She's waiting from the start for a treason, she wasn't waiting for WY's treason. Remember when WY don't stand up for her but for ET? How speechless she was that day ? But now, after ET's death, she understood his true motives and everything got back as before. I'm not fond of WY but I doubt SN will come closer to him. If TH learn about this, it could be her fall and she can't risk to fall when her people still aren't safe. I think she'll grow colder towards TH since he chooses Bayan's niece as Empress instead of her but eventually came back to him for reasons I hope writers will make.  :smile:

I'll wait for the part 3 & 4 !

OMG THIS MADE MY DAY:

 

SPOILER[!] EPISODE 39

 

c1jm.gif

 

 

YAAAAS  :ahmagah:  :chu:

 

 

 

 

 

Actually he had to go to the new empress if he didnt it would have caused problems in the palace. She was the one who told him to pick that new empress so she should know that he would have to treat her as an empress. 

 

I dont approve of SN seeing WY in private and hiding so many things from TH, this will definitely lead to misunderstandings. But then again everyone ignores him and hides everything from him. They only go to him if they need something. I feel bad for him :/

I hope SN being colder to him makes him grow up a little and stop being so needy for her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope that too ! Because everytime SN was cold to TH it was to make him think of his actions or something.

She was so crushed when she heard that he went to the new empress.

She pretends to be strong but inside she really wants a family. She knows how it is to be raised by only a mother, having no real family.

I even think that she became power hungry just because she wants to protect her family.

 

Tahwan messed up big time. She feels like he didn't "man up" yet, thus not telling him anything regarding her plans.

I'm sure that if he didn't go to that damn empress, she would have told him at least some part of her plans.

But no dude has to go there. He is the emperor for god's sake. He can do whatever he wants.

The excuse not wanting to cause problems is kinda lame imo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was understandable when ET was still there since he could end in his life anyday but now there is no one who can have his head, especially not Baek Ahn. Ugh. I'm happy writers let us see SN's true feelings  :chu:

Just saw episode 39's raw :

 

 

 

TH is seriously disappointing me ! It's like he's going backwards, the same old TH :( I seriously don't expect much about him now. I'm rooting for SN to tear into pieces DK haha 

The New Empress is even more evil than TN but I can't bring myself to like her, even a bit. That episode left me with a sore mouth... 

Even if it bother me, I kind of like things are they are. To be Empress, SN will had to fight instead of waiting TN's death, just like TH fought instead of waiting the death of his brother. I can't wait to see SN going badass against DK ! Love this duo full of hatred and rage.  :ahmagah:

I also want to see an independent SN who rely on herself to what she wants instead of asking TH !

BTW, someone has the preview link of episode 40 ?

 

 

Edit : Episode 38 with english subs is all complete here : http://empresskihouse.blogspot.fr/2014/03/empress-ki-ep-38-engsub.html

OMG! This baby is so cute!!! And TH holding him is just so sweet! T_T

 

 

 

The new empress might be beautiful and smart, but she's pissing me off, big time.

 

TT will stay on SN's side, of that I had no doubts. The looks he's been giving her since the start of her training to become a consort is enough evidence for me that he at least admires and respects her.

 

OMG! That memory was sooooo sweet! :ahmagah: I don't think TH will go to the new empress for comfort. He loves SN too much, and he's loved her for so long, a new skirt won't make him forget her. I just wish that instead of being cold, SN would try to keep him by her side, though it's not really in her character to do so. :(

 

 

 

 

 

I agree. I think because she's been betrayed and abandoned before, which almost crushed her, she finds feelings a weakness, so she pretends to not care... Poor SN T_T

 

I really don't understand what the writers are trying to do about TH. At first they showed him trying to get really drunk, so he wouldn't sleep with the new empress, but then we see him taking her jewellery off. Like wth. Are they trying to make TH less liked in the viewer's eyes, so yet another romance with WY can start? Please, writers-nim, leave my TH and SN pairing alone!

 

 

 

 

 

I hope  the writers won't reunite WY and SN, please !! Jaebal !!

Just send WY elsewhere, in Dangkise's shadow and fix the mess you created  :cry:

Sigh, that episode was so painful to watch :._.: I don't even know if I'll have the strength to rewatch with eng subs.  :unsure:

Also, next week will be episode 40. Only 10 episodes until the end. I'll feel so empty when the final generic will be launched.  :._.:

At this rate, I hope MBC will extend it. I feel they'll do it because they skipped once one episode and now the number of episodes broadcasted by week is odd. SBS did the same with Master's Sun and YWCFTS. Even if it's one episode, I'll satisfied. I bet we'll four sub-plots maxi until the end. Maha's issue/Crown Prince issue, New Empress' fall, WY&SN's adieux and Baek Ahn's fall.

I'm really excited about Maha's issue, I think the two next episodes will be about it (and also the treasure quest) since this week, Maha and Ayu were talked about a lot.

Ikr!!! Send WY with YonFeisu somewhere, and let them have fun and babies and whatever. Just stay away from TH and SN!

 

I hope they extend it only with 1 ep. Because straight after this is going to be Triangle with JaeJoong XD And tbh, if they make it too long, they might get ideas for more WY and SN and that just won't do. Can't wait to see how all the sub-plots will further develop. Btw, I want a nice final for TT as well <3

 

I know this sounds rly bad, but I don't want WY to know abt Maha's existence (as in that he's his son). Let just SN "officially" adopt the child, and take care of him, without telling anybody that its actully her biological child.

 

 

 

 

 

I actually want WY to know about the kid but not SN. Why ? Because if WY know about the kid, he'll likely try to take him with him in Koryeo and will be satisfied with him and will not try to get closer with SN. As for SN, I find it a bit selfish to keep her two children with her and TH, letting WY without his kid. I prefer Byul to be in Koryeo with his father than in the Cruel Palace where Byul will eventually come to hate both his parents but also TH and maybe try to kill them and take the crown. He'll be lonely and will be filled with jealousy towards his half-bro Ayu. Nothing good can come from this situation honestly. I don't want SN to know Byul is his son because it'll break her for good. She's plotting against her child and when she'll know the truth, she couldn't bear what she did to him. Actually, I think the writers will follow history and Byul will die soon. Either by a plot (by the New Empress most likely) to bring down SN and accuse her of it or by a mere illness. He'll die just after SN throw out the truth about his birth.

 

As for the extension, I hope they extend Eki with 5 episodes maxi because if MBC give too much rooms to the writers, they'll shatter our TaNyang shippers hearts again.  :cry:

I see where you're coming from. And I agree to a certain point. The baby dying though is so sad T_T

 

I follow Juno (one of TH's guards), since he's Su's brother, and according to him the last episode has already been filmed... I doubt it'll be 5 more ep.

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, that's quite sad but I think Maha is too dangerous alive because he can still be a weapon used by people, a way to snatch the throne back at one time or another. :( Besides, in the novel, he died too.  -_-

 

But knowing the writers and knowing this drama's gender aka melodrama she'll 100 % know the truth about Maha. The real question is when. After she compromise his future or before she spit out the truth ? If it's after, then we'll gonna have WY&SN's grief scenes. I'll cry so much  -_- And if it's before then SN will have to either reverse gear or do it anyway or find a twist or something. I don't know if I'm afraid of the turn of the events or if I'm excited.. I just hope they won't go on the cry path any longer. I really dislike sad stuffs, it made me so depressed. I need one week at least to recover from sad stuffs.  :cry: And I still hasn't recover from What happened in Bali's end and Bad Guy's end.  :._.: Let's not add another drama name in the list !  :>_>:

 

Is that so ? Then the last episode must be SN's coronation.. Don't know how to feel about this. I hoped she'll be sacred Empress earlier so we can see her help Koryeo's people. I hope she does that in the last episode, so we can also see all their suffering eventually end. T_T

Yeah, I knew that he died in the novel :(

 

I think it's inevitable that she'll find out about Maha. I mean the birth mark was a dead give away from the very start.

 

Sad stuff is ok, but happy endings work best for me XD

 

I also think that the coronation will be the last episode, or at least the second to last. I can't wait tbh :la:

 

 

 

 

 

I'm tired to see her struggling like that and always hearing about new Koryeo tribute women being brought to Yuan. Like aren't all the Lords 15 consorts already ?!  :donthinkso:

I hope the writers won't disappoint us on the sub-plots. I also hope they'll use wisely KT's (new empress) attempt to kill Ayu-ya and not forget about it like they did with the plague's plot. Besides, I rewatched TH&TN's last moment and I'm afraid SN will end up like TN because of her growing jealousy. :unsure: Hope TH set up his game before it's happen and learn from his faults with TN..

 

I checked on MBC YT channel, they didn't upload episode 40's preview, so there is no preview most likely.. Ugh, since they hid it from us then episode 40 must be an explosive ep ? Right ? :omg: I doubt Dangkise will die that soon (in History and in the novel he dies by Baek Ahn's hands so..) so I wonder how they'll all get away of it. Maybe TH will catch them out of suspicions about SN's behaviour ? But I seriously doubt it, he isn't that wise. And I doubt if SN and her crew beat them, she'll have mercy for Dangkise.. She didn't have any for TN, the murderer of her friends so how many times for the murderer of her mother ? 

 

Can't wait ! Dying from thinking about it.  :chu:

This thing about Koryeo women tribute is completely barbaric. I really feel for Nyang :(

 

Yeah, I hope so as well. That plague thing was indeed completely forgotten. I also rewatched the 38th ep, I seriously doubt that SN will become like TN in this drama. In history, she did, but since she's the main character, for her to go bad would mean slaughtered ratings for the drama. 

 

No preview could indeed mean sth big happening. I wonder what exactly... What if Dangkise wins and they take NS away? Now, THAT would be a major twist! TH would forget abt the new empress, his crown and the entirety of Yuan just to bring her back  :lol: And perhaps that's how DK dies by Baek Ahn's hand?

 

This drama really tries one's patience XD

 

 

 

 

 

It's a realistic theory. IDK if I would be excited or scared (because Dangkise will not loose a chance to torture SN, especially with his psychopath tendencies.  :unsure: If they go on that path, I hope to see a TH completely shaken. 

 

But I expect TT to show up since he got by himself what SN was doing..  :hurr: We'll see, but it better be badass and glorious.  :stare:

As for the ratings, maybe yes maybe not. Look, Yawang has an evil woman as the lead and it still got high ratings. Heck, the more evil that woman was, the higher the ratings were...  :derp: 

 

 

 

The ratings went down   :omg: 26.5% 

I was hoping to reach 30% this wk. This was actually lower than yesterday's which is unusual since Tuesday does better. 

 

What's the rating for episode 38 ? 

Not truly surprising since people were waiting for ET & TN's death... Besides, God's Gift is a serious competitor.  :soul:

 

Edit : 

 

 

 

I read on Soompi TH didn't sleep with KT. Then why the hell doesn't he clarify this misunderstanding ? It's not like he doesn't know SN is cold with him because of this. Ugh, so tired of assumptions and misunderstanding.  :donthinkso:

How many Kdramas I have dropped because of that shit ? Koreans like mistrust, doubts and angst way too much.  :fyeah:
