Stop posting pics like that, it reminds me I'll have a cute kid like that in 20 years at least lol :horror:

The scene where TH is mesmerized by Ayu's face and his strong resemblance with his parents was the best :ahmagah: And everytime SN or TH say "Ayu-ya", can't help but smile at how cute it sounds. :chu:

I'm not fond of EKi's PD but this moment was beautiful :smile:

Heck, the baby who play Ayu is so good at it I can't believe it's not SN & TH's offspring. :horror:

they casted such an adorable baby that looks alot like his on-screen parents + he interacts with them aswell.

I've checked Naver for Empress Ki articles and they are a few in which people support TaNyang and praise JCW's acting skills.

 

Ha Ji Won brings out the best of her co-stars. She is like the actor-maker.

Hyun Bin, Lee Seung Gi, Ji Chang Wook. Makes me wonder who is next lol

I'll look forward to see him in a near future as a child actor :ilove: I wonder what's his real name tho.

TaNyang ftw ! :hurr: I'm happy to hear JCW is getting the love he deserves. I think he's a good actor but never got roles where he's really shining in.

 

What amaze me the most is how different are her co-stars. A top actor, a top singer and a trendy actor. I wonder as well who's next (and if she'll take another sageuk or a contemporary). Then it turn to be an EXO member :horror: ... in a fantasy sageuk. :derp: /commitsuicide

I really want to see her in a romance drama. Not something saeguk related. The King2Hearts had that sageuk feel and Empress Ki is a sageuk drama.

 

But for the time being I can't wait to see her new movie Chronicle of a Blood Merchant.

 

Synopsis:

Heo Sam-Gwan (Ha Jung-Woo) works in a factory. In the village where he lives, the men can't get married until they are able to sell their own blood. By selling blood, it proves they are in healthy condition. Heo Sam-Gwan is eventually able to marry Heo Ok-Ran (Ha Ji-Won), the most beautiful woman in the village.

cr. asianwiki

 

Ha Ji Won will probably look stunning in that movie.

I love her in sageuk, she was so great in Hwang Jin Yi (if you haven't seen this drama you def should, the eye-candy in it was legendary :ilove: ). She pulls off sageuk characters like no one (except maybe Go Hyun Jung :ahmagah: ). I love her less in contemporary romances because her characters has always that annoyingly cute side mixed with a badass image. :donthinkso: Like you're badass or you're not, don't add that silly cuteness in it. :>_>: ( yeah, I'm talking about you King 2 heart ) At least in Secret Garden, she was cute but funnily cute. :lol: If she does a romance, I want her in a boss role.

 

Anyway, I can't wait to see that movie. And it's a sageuk, so I'm even more excited. Also Ha Jung Woo casted her personally so I think it's because only her can play that character, look forward to it. :derp:

 

Edit : Just saw this on some EKi's FB account :

 

1981951_807704082591602_41491098_n.jpg

 

꽃보다 승냥~

English Translation : Seung Nyang Over Flowers~

 

LMAO Is HJW even 35 ? I swear, she's in her twenties in her mind. :lol:

 

EKi's ep 40 preview translation :

 

SN says to DK she's going to revenge her mother's death.

KT lies to say that didn't know SN hated her so much, and that SN threaten her.

TH says he's been thinking and think that he should do something to make SN happy.

BA tells TH he needs to detach himself from SN

TH tells BA that his current attitude is just like ET.

cr: Baidu

LOL we guessed most of the translation, nothing surprising. Happy to see TH setting his game and resisting !

 

Ha Jung Woo is one hell of a good actor. Working with him is probably the best thing HJW could get.

The Berlin File was amazing.

 

here is the full trans of the preview:

 

"SN : Dangkise, today you will use your blood to avenge for my mother.

Yeon Hwa : ... (?)

KT : I never expected that she could hate me that much. Ki Consort actually threatened me.

Yeon Hwa (?) : Did she threaten you ?

TH : I have been thinking what i should do to make Ki Consort happy.

BA : Your Majesty, Yeon Chul is watching us from hell. Please don't let Ki Consort have you wrapped around her fingers.

TH : Wrapped around her fingers, you said ? Now, that attitude of yours, is it any different from Yeon Chul's ?"

TSK @ Bayan quoting ET. He made me lol, did he really think he could walk out in the throne hall, ask TH to get a rid of his lover and he would comply ? Hope TH will reply to him after "who are you to ask me stuffs like that and who do you think I am to listen to your nonsense?" hihi ^^ If I were in his shoes, I would have said that. :lol: It piss me off everyone is in the palace is assuming TH is stupid, hey folks, he's just in love ! I doubt if SN asked him to slaughter his people, he would to it in a minute. :rolleyes: *sigh*

 

KT's next level : cry in TH's or BA's arms, hoping her crocodile tears will turn him against her. :rolleyes:

 

Anyway, I'm excited about the last 6 weeks of EKi. Since MBC will most likely not extend it then the last episodes will be filled and fast. I can't wait to see ED, BA, KT & co out in a few weeks (I wonder when they will start the whole "Crown Prince arc", maybe after the treasure quest arc ? I already foresee SN spilling the tea in front of the whole court and the governors and ED's fainting at the same time. :lol: )

Everyone in this drama thinks that they can take Tahwan for granted but he finally shows that it's not the case.

 

I don't think SN will spill out the beans about Maha being her son.

Maybe Tahwan will eventually know it but also keeps quiet for her sake.

After all you can only become a concubine if you were a virgin.

If people get to know that SN was not a virgin + had a son from WY (Goryeo), she would get the same punishment as Tanasmirky.

I think for the sake of his love for SN, Tahwan will look over it but it will hurt him alot.

Also the Koryeo head eunuch who helped her during her inspection and knew she was pregnant back in the day would be dead as well. :( What I meant is SN just says WY is Maha's father and his mother was a nugu maid who died with Lady Park. But eventually only TH will find out the truth and then he'll throw Maha/Byul in WY's arms and yeah, as you said look over it. I truly think it's the main reason why he looked so insecure during the coronation, maybe he get to know the truth just a few days before the coronation ?

 

 

Another possibility could be that Tahwan accepts him as son and won't let him go to WY. SN has to keep quiet about the fact that Maha is WY's son thus she is crying during her coronation because WY will never know he had a son.

I feel so bad for Tahwan.

His world will crush once he get to know the truth.

In the novel Maha died, so Tahwan never really knew about it.

Besides why SN's Empress clothes are different from TN's and KT's ? It's because she Kyoroized her clothes ?

 

 

tumblr_n2kil4xJEn1siqvhio2_500.jpg

 

tumblr_n2n1fuxqyt1rcih7jo7_r1_250.gif

I think it's because TH invested more money in his wedding with SN than his previous weddings and because he waited for it for years. Also I read on Soompi the real TH invested money to give some power to Ayu, I wonder if in the drama he'll do it too.

I love SN's empress clothes so much better. She looks gorgeous in it.

Not only does it look like he invested way more, they are people from all regions there.

I assume it has something to do with a new "era" in the whole country.

Yeah, her Empress outfits are way better. I think you're right. After all, it'll be the first time a Koryeo woman will rule Yuan. I wonder if SN's brother will eventually pop up in the following episodes. Didn't SN's father said she had brothers ? Also I read on Wiki SN was actually teaming up with her bro and TT. Maybe they replace her bro with WY ? :rolleyes:

Well, I think people were more than happy since two crazy Empresses and two power-hungry Prime Ministers preceded her and TT. They must have been relieved their nightmare finally ended. Also, SN is quite loved by people since they know she personally plotted against ET and later BA so she's like their saviour. :lol: I hope in the coronation episode, they'll show the reactions of Koryeo people : people fainting right and left, kids crying tears of joy and random persons shooting "long life to the Empress" in the streets. :happy: But not only in Koryeo but also in the whole Empire. :smile: That's would be nice.

Yep that would be super nice ending ;A;

 

but I heard SN's brothers weren't that nice at all in the novel and in real life :lol:

Since there's 11 episodes left, I doubt they'll add more characters. Also, they didn't add SN's brothers maybe because of financial reasons, like the whole show is quite expensive and adding more people is out of reach ? I feel like there is nearly no evil Koryeo people minus Wang Go, Yeon Byung So and Princess Kyung Hwa while we have a long list which keeps getting longer on the Yuan side. I feel like 11 episodes are quite short but also long.. My predictions for the next episodes :

 

 

 

Episode 40-41 : treasure quest

Episode 42-44 : SN building her power in the shadows, the Crown Prince issue

Episode 45-47 : ED, BA & KT getting nuts because of SN's growing power and Ayu becoming the Crown Prince

Episode 48-49 : War

Episode 50 : Coronation

 

But still, I think they'll most likely mess up WY's storyline or that merchant clan.

 

 

I'm really curious in how SN will save WY's ass again. Tahwan seems to have wanted to get rid of him but due to his love for SN, he restained himself from that.

 

Makes me wonder. Seems to be something big so that Tahwan was fuming in the beginning. I'm slowly doubting that it's just the Maha issue.

Me too. Because even if TH will feel betrayed because of Maha and the whole SN & WY's fiançailles thing, it's in the past and he saw SN no longer loves him and she's his Consort and can't escape now lol. I feel like it's also related to SN & WY teaming up in his back. Maybe he'll catch them in a bad position or ED or KT or BA will fill his head with doubts ? Or maybe something else we won't never guess ? But it must be something big since the writers dragged the Maha issue until now. Heck, they even killed the only witness :( I wonder how SN will manage to prove Maha isn't TN&TH's son. The only real way I see is letting Maha grow and take his lack of resemblance with TN or TH as a proof. But still it isn't a solid evidence. The only solid "proof" is that birthmark. Why do I feel like we'll get a time skip ? Didn't TH say how he'll wait until the boys grow a bit ? If it's the case then I'll miss Baby Ayu (and also Maha's head will be filled to the sky with hatred for SN and Koryeo people). :cry:

 

 

 

The time skip can't happen before the coronation because SN/TH/WY look exactly the same like they always do.

It would be weird, at least for me lol. But in kdrama world especially this drama, everything can happen haha

 

I'm gonna miss Ayu so much. I want more scenes with him and his parents before he goes :cry:

They'll change not that much imo since they're already adults. I could be convincing since you don't change that much between your twenties and thirties (except if you get fat or get drunk/drugs too often, then your face will melt like Leo DiCaprio's :( ).

 

Me too. I hope we can get some cute family moments after SN&TH's reconciliation  :ahmagah:

It's saturday too ! D-2 before the next episode.  :derp: It's me or weeks these days pass quickly ?  :lol:

 

 

 

 

Still can't get over that SN was in one episode pregnant and the next episode already gave birth :lol:

 

Now that you mention, it really passed quickly.

I guess good for us EK fans hahaha

Iconic moment indeed. And in the previous episode, she has sex with TH for the first time, like wtf.  :lol:

Yeah, the waiting is more bearable this way. I think it has more to do with the fact we have to wait longer for the subs of EKi than for the other dramas (we're already thursday when Empress Ki House finally finish to translate and saturday for the other subbers lol). Besides, so much things happen in those episodes and there is so much speculation going on. I didn't get a mental breakdown like that with a rom-com where the only sickening thing to guess is when the bitchy second lead will stop her BS.  :hurr: Or when the misunderstanding will end.  :unsure: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The treasure quest is quite boring and the only thing I like about it is that SN will, in the end, get her own army, the Must Have for any badass Consort  :datass:  :datass:

I'm more interested in the next plot : MAHA ISSUE and Crown Prince makjang fest  :derp:

 

 

 

People call Tahwan the second lead but I have never seen a second lead having that many kiss scenes with the female lead. The second lead will almost never have a chance in kissing her.

Tahwan and SN kissed like 3 times and 2 failed attempts of a kiss scene, she sucks the poison out of his body, he gives her a cheek kiss, more hugs etc.

Tell me one second lead character that has that many moments with the female lead.

That's why I highly doubt he is the second lead.

so random lol why are you talking about this suddenly ? TH was the former second lead but because the viewers liked him more with SN than SN with WY, the writers changed the original OTP. Heck, the ratings got higher by 2 points after episode 33. Why ? Because the cliffhanger of episode 32 was a TH-SN's almost kiss. While the ratings dropped when SN came back to WY lol. Even JJM's agency complained publicly of his screentime getting reduced.  :rolleyes: And if all those things don't convince someone, let me add that he has way more screentime all alone (without SN) than WY from episode 7-16 to episode 25 - 39. If he isn't the first lead then I don't know who is the first lead in any dramas anymore.  :derp:

 

 

 

Saw a comment stating that Tahwan is the second lead and so the OTP (SN x Tahwan) is the second OTP after WY x SN, that's why I was talking about it suddenly.

EKi's episode 40 eng sub preview here :ahmagah:  : http://adf.ly/gv6MW

Edit : Just read this on FB  :wth:

 

 

"Following history he [baek Ahn] will raise a coup against Ki because she is not from Yuan, and sicne his niece cannot be pregnant, Ki is a problem. He will fail raising the coup and his whole family will be doomed. Apart from TalTal who will be named New Prime minister by Ki. That is from history though. No idea which way the writters will go."

Bayan was actually one of my fav characters. If this will be his destiny in the drama aswell ;A;

 

sad

I thought it was some lame excuse the writers brought up to prevent SN to get the throne but the hate was real.  :horror:

I'm more sad for TT, seeing his clan becoming like that.  :unsure: I feel like if the writers go on that road, they'll add the fact Ayu becomes the Crown Prince, KT's complaints and TH being deaf to his words to fuel the fire. I actually think they'll do that since SN is trying to build her own army in the shadows... A war is inevitable at this rate.

 

 

OT but I also started watching Sly and Single, it's quite good.  :derp:

Sly and Single is so funny and entertaining. Sad that the ratings aren't that good.

 

And I ship Lee Min Jung with the younger brother of that chick.

A ship that will 99% not gonna happen lol

I hope she'll kick his ass and the whole stuff will be legendary. :datass:

 

Damn, she lasts 17 years ? :shock:

LMAO SN was really patient. I think the drama will shorten her reign and jump 6-7 years later since they can't age HJW, JCW & JJM too much for coherence issues. Also I read TT will be Ayu's teacher and since TT's character is getting more and more love they'll push this fact as well. I agree about TN & KT. That's why I'm more afraid of her than TN. At least even if TN was stupid and impulsive, TH and the whole country knew her true character while only TT know KT's real face. I bet she'll try to make SN seems like a TN bis, whispering everywhere in the palace how SN is an evil bully ect. :rolleyes: Sigh, it's the only thing I'll dislike in the following Empress Ki episodes. I truly hate injustice, more than anything. I think KT will try to do what SN did to TN : using her personality to make her fall into a trap. :unsure: TH better not fall in her scheming or I'll drop this drama. -_-

 

For ED, I think TN's desperation convinced her + even if she knew Maha isn't TN's son she would've still stay quiet because she prefers a fake son she can turn into a puppet (quite ironic when we know Maha is 100 % from Koryeo) than her ennemy's legit and half-Koryeo son.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just don't want Tahwan to sleep with her :cry:

guys JCW...kiss :blush: ...i will be happy if before this drama ends we get a kiss like this for SN & TH

 

but HJW as a kisser...can be iffy tbh

 

 

In the TaNyang Thread in soompi, people said JCW used tongue in his kiss scene with HJW.

 

anyway here is a cute BTS video of HJW and Ayu

OMG. He got the opportunity to kiss HJW and he didn't waste it. :hurr: It remind me of Iris 2's kiss between Lee Da Hae and Jang Hyuk, Jang Hyuk basically swallowed LDH's mouth. :lol: I hope we can see a powerful kiss at least once before the show end. :smile:

 

Cute vid :ahmagah:

HJW always gets those steamy kiss scenes :har:

Bayan is really corrupted oh my goodness I love his character and actually he was an amazing man. He reminds me so much of the previous Prime Minster hated his guts. I hope Bqyan doesn't die though, that would just make me sad even though he's getting on my nerves for the past episode.

 

 

 

yeah Bayan is still a good character in my opinion. it would be really sad if he ends up like ET.

 

btw I'm not sure but wasn't it like that, that the current empress needs to die until a new one can be nominated?

But her son has only two way to become Emperor : either TH abdicate or TH dies...

Happy about the one episode extension, but worried about the sad ending :( If TH or SN dies, please, do it at the end of the episode.. If they do it at the last episode, it won't affect the ratings in anyway lol :(

 

 

 

 

I feel like it will end just like the novel ended. The ending is iconic and satisfy both sides at some point, since it can be intepreted in both ways.

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:
