Official Empress Ki Thread

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.

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

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 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 :(

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

I am worried about the following episodes. TH & SN both will have a hard time because of ET's speech :( Bayan will abandon SN and TT will have an inner struggle about it. His uncle or his friend ? Gah, I'm already sad. I hope SN's brother(s) will somehow pop out and help her (they're forced to appear, if not, why SN's father said to her she had brother(s) ?). I hope the writers will keep the excitement as high as it is right now. As for the new Empress she's pretty and she matches her character well (she looks like some hypocritical wench with her gaze like that). I can already picture her smirking. Hope SN won't turn out evil or too scary as well. So much stress ;;

i always wished that there was a plot twist and Taltal was her brother ;A;

the new empress has that innocent look but is pretty bitchy.

 

i hope the emperor won't get seduced by that

Yeah, I hope the writers won't build another love triangle (except if it's SNxTHxTT :hurr: ).

But I think ED will encourage TH to put some distance between him and SN just to prove ET wrong and show to the governors he isn't manipulated by SN. My theory is that the writers will split for 2 episodes maxi SN & TH just to bring closer SN & TT (but as friends, I think). It'll break my heart if ED manages to separate SN & TH but if SN gets a consolation prize TT, I'm all for it. :happy: (after all, it's a fiction, not a documentary)

oh well even if they split, eventually they find their way back and get married.

Here the recap of the episode 37 : http://thetalkingcupboard.wordpress.com/2014/03/11/empress-ki-eps-36-37

 

ET's last speech was scarier than I thought. And the scary thing is in his speech is the truth in it. Prince Ayu in the history will actually end Yuan Dynasty, after him, it will be the debut of Ming Dynasty...

 

Can't wait to see the entirely subbed 37th episode ! :ahmagah:

I still wonder how the writers will do to make TT betray his uncle. Maybe an one-sided love for SN ? Or more likely they'll make as mad as possible BA so TT will have no choice but accomplish the promise he did to his uncle - kill him if he become another ET.

Now with the trans, I don't like SN's words...

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. :)

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.

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.

Yea I actually hope TH wakes up and stop being manipulated. I feel bad seeing him being used so much. Yes the writers are following history. SN did become power hungry which caused a rift between her and the Emperor.

I hope the writers can end this story well. Now however I dont know how I want it to end. :/

 

 

 

 

 

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:

 

 

 

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.

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.

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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:

 

 

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

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:

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 ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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:

 

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

 

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

Someone already posted it for you :) Edited by yoonbora

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:

 

 

 

 

Is that so ? A bit weird but ok.

 

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

 

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 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.
