Either Wang Yu or SN will die.

In history SN went missing after her son became Emperor

 

 

 

 

 

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 :(

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:

 

 

 

 

I didn't take you seriously that day, I should've...  :._.:

Was HJW a praying mantis in her previous life or something ?  :derp: 

 

 

 

 

 

i felt sad when TN didn't want WY to witness her execution  :horror:

i don't like the new empress, she's gonna cause a lot of misunderstanding and problems with her 2-faced acts  :wth: , way more evil than TN...

seeing how BY is right now he's going to be on the path as ET.....

i find ED's laugh really horrifying  :twitch:

and sad ending nooooooooo  :cry:  they could just give us a scene at the end with SN & TH happily together and then just do a voice-over of history, how the prince becoming emperor after blah blah ......

 

 

 

 

They will dare kill the male leads. I feel it. They probably want to do a powerful sad ending, since SN's life is quite sad in fact.. You know, something tragic and all. They're aiming at that in my opinion. Just look at TN's end. SN "killed" her without even allowing her to say goodbye to her adopted son. TN's life was really tragic, hated by her husband, unfertile, mocked by people at the court even if she deserved it.. I hate angsty stuffs but if they do the ending well, I'll accept this sad ending.  :unsure: But if they pull us a "What happened in Bali", I don't know what I'll do, maybe take a plane and kill the writers as well.  :lol:

 

But if they end everything with a family hug with SN, TH and Ayu, I'll be satisfied as well.  :hurr:

Playing in a drama with HJW there is huge chance that you as a male lead would die at the end.

Binnie should feel honoured lol

 

 

 

 

 

lmao  :lol:

 

 

 

with each episode I am getting more and more annoyed at the writers  :soul:

I really dont like SN lately 

 

Why ?  :omg:

Just saw today's episode

 

 

THOSE FEELS !!

I thought Bi Soo betrayed SN but now, it was a part of her plan. So for anyone who didn't see episode 40 but want to be spoiled lol, here a summary :

- SN & Dangkise went into a ferocious fight.. I won't spoil with part because you need to see to have the feels~

- The New Empress gave to SN (I think, for what I have understood from the evil maids' shocked faces and SN's skeptic expression) the Royal Seal and then behind her back (always~) she lied to her maids, saying SN bullied her into doing that.  :rolleyes:

- ED scolded SN and asked her (more like took by force...) the Royal Seal. So the New Empress' plan was to make ED hate SN.. Lol, you're late for that but ok.

- TH thought for minutes a way to make SN happy and then invited her to watch the shadows dancing (I don't know how to say it in English, but you know, the things SN saw with WY and TH trying to grab her hands and TN being angry with SN the maid  :lol: ).

- On her way to see the Emperor, SN met TNE. TNE as usual acted fake and said how she was sorry ED forced her to give the Royal Seal (I think she said that because it makes sense lol). SN fell into the trap and smiled back at her.  -_-

- TH interrupted them and tried to snatch away SN but TNE wanted to join them (I think, I don't even understand Korean but from their body language and their expressions, it must be that), TH snubbed her and almost ignored her if she didn't insist. He gave her the Tanashili treatment lol  :lol:

- She left with a smile and internally probably cursed SN or promised her she'll destroy her, how dare she being #1 in the Emperor's heart. You know, the same old things Tanashili used to say too, but in public, not in her mind.  :rolleyes:

- SN acted cold towards TH even after the show, he probably said how he was frustrated, how many times SN will ignore him like that. Same old things again.  :rolleyes:

- Thanks to the show, SN figured out where is the treasure.

- She summoned WY but Yeon Bi Soo came instead.

- *ellipse* 

- WY finally came and heard SN's plans and the emplacement of the treasure.

- WY and co go to bring it.

- YBS says everything SN told her to BA meanwhile BA tried to make TH throw away SN (lol, he's serious ? did he learn anything from ET's errors ?)

- BA runs and tells everything to TH while SN spies on them (BA interrupted them into a lovely family moment with Ayu :( )

- She tells her people to say something to WY.

- Then we saw BA & co, Dangkise and co, WY & co, all of them searching the treasure.

- In her secret room, SN smiled at her people and said she trapped BA. She actually asked YBS to lie to BA, sending him in the wrong direction..  :hurr:

 

Preview :

- I understood almost nothing expect some "Kwibi" words here and there. Since they don't have anything else to do, I bet ED & TNE are teaming up to bring SN down. During a meal with ED, TNE, SN & TH, ED tried to put TH against SN and TH said something like "Stop now !!"

- TT figured out SN's plot and understood the children's song is a clue to ET's treasure...

- BA & WY are training together. LOL, didn't BA just send Koryeo people as slave and concubines to Yuan, how dare he acting like a buddy with WY ? That ET realness.  :rolleyes:

- Also the preview is quite long so I can't wait to see the eng subs because there is a lot to read and to guess !  :happy:

 

So I wonder if it'll be on episode 41 that SN & TT will team up or if he still will follow his uncle. I hope SN's people will find the treasure before Dangkise and BA. And if/when she will find the treasure, I wonder what she'll do with. Buy an army ? Send some parts of the money to Koryeo ?

All my predictions are going to be true. If EK continues to go to tjat direction, it will lose the 20+ ratings.

On a sidenote their rival drama didn't gain any new viewers either.

 

Where did the viewers go :lol:

 

Lol, they just turned off the TV and did some housework.

better turn in today haha

 

I google translated some comments and a knetz complained how it was too makjang ect, he got downvoted massively lol. The comments mostly mocked Empress Dowager and the New Empress. Some people said TNE's mouth was weird. Also, there had a comment which said "don't betray.." and then the translation got wrong. Did this netizen meant "don't betray TH" ? Anyway, I doubt it'll drop under the 20 % mark. The writers will set up their game before it happens. I predict 22-23 % for today and then a big cliffhanger like TT confronting SN for good and saying "I know you are the one who found the treasure" or maybe it'll be TH's lines.  :derp:

 

Anyway, I read the eng subs of episode 41's preview and something happened in the palace. Something that made TH looked like a fool, and it's concern SN.  :unsure:

So I read the comments on Soompi and I get why you're all angry... But I'm not. Maybe because I'm more excited about political plots than love storyline ? Anyway, if SN

 

shown to everyone what's was in the boxes it must be because she's up to something. First, why would she receive the money on a daylight when anyone can see her or catch her ? And why did she come by herself and didn't send her people in disguise. She must have some plots, I can't wait to see the plot twist.

Something's worry me : why are they dragging for so long this treasure quest when they have only 9 episodes left to resolve BA's, ED's and TNE's fall, Maha issue and more sub-plots like who is the Eagle Clan master? 

 

As for WY/Maha/SN moment, I don't really mind. I doubt SN and WY will be lovers in the back of TH. They're just ex-lovers with memories and nostalgia, nothing wrong with that. I don't expect SN to forget everything about WY in a flash. It's her first love, she'll always remember him. Let's not forget SN is smart and I doubt she'll try to cheat on TH : firstly because she loves him too much to harm him like and secondly because she doesn't want to die lol. As for this episode, I'm satisfied with the cliffhanger. I think SN will know tell everything to TH in private. I feel like the writers read netizens comments and did their best to TH in SN's clan. They kind of forced SN to spit out everything because it would be weird and OOC if SN suddenly decides to let TH into the secret when she was determined to hide to him everything. I wonder how this whole revelation will be handled. If the writers do the next episode poorly then I'll join you in your "f*ck-the-writers" club haha

ok usually i don't mind huge plot twist

but only if they are done well and bring something new to the playing board

so let's hope the writers do this well~

and let's wait to see what happens next week

afterall drama's shouldn't always be written just to satisfy what the audience wants...

 

and now i am finally on spring break and can catch up..

Empress Ki marathon here i go!!! =D

 

from ep 28-41 o__o will i make it in time...

 

I agree but since the plot is slowing, I wonder if the writers are purposely dragging this storyline for an extension. While I think the treasure quest becomes more and more interesting, I didn't expect it to last this long. We'll get this storyline probably until episode 43-44... I just hope if there isn't any extension, they don't mess up the end or the Maha issue or the other plots and sub-plots which keep popping at every episode.  :lol: I actually like that the writers don't do anything the viewers want so we can still be surprised by the plot twists or the interactions. It would be soo boring if anything we want actually happened. No surprise, no mental breakdown, no depressive post on the EKi thread lol.

 

I feel like I'm the only one who isn't disappointed by the writing. Let's not forget TH isn't the last emperor of Yuan for nothing, I think the writers are aiming at showing us that lol.

Empress Ki will get an extension , that's why the storyline is dragging , I'm 1000 % sure of that !  :)

 

I can't wait for episode 42 .I just hope Lady Ki won't be guilty of treason because of what happened at the end of ep 41  :unsure:

 

Doubt it. SN isn't stupid enough to get caught like that. She must be up to something but I really can't see what. Maybe it's because TT knows she found the treasure and she wants to prevent him from accusing her in the future ? I wonder with what excuse she'll come up. Maybe she'll say it's the money she made back in her Koryeo merchant days ? I can't foresee another rational explanation but I already see her shading ED and the fact she took back the Royal coffers' management from her.  :rolleyes:

so i'm watching the episode where TH takes an arrow for SN

and i wonder if anyone really even cares for The Emperors life?

it seems like they all worry, even the empress dowager, not because

his life is in danger but because everyone somehow needs him and his position and influence

and therefore they can't have him die....

 

i can't help but feel sorry for him. and dumb and silly as he may be

the way he loves SN and the fact that he seems to be the only one in that palace

who who has good intentions rather than be power hungry or out for vengeance

makes me want to take his side and have him get a good ending...

 

EDIT: ok so i guess i can see that SN may actually be worried about him but

i do doubt her feeling quite often

is it just me or is it really hard to figure out what exactly SN feels?

she just seems so cold and closed off its really hard for me to tell or be sure about her true feelings.

 

 

is she in pain? does she feel pain? is she sad?? is she suffering? has she gotten happier?

 

It's because after Byul's death, she's basically stone-faced but in the following episodes, she put down the mask sometimes. Let's forget she's in the palace as a Consort, not a maid anymore. And she needs to act like that so her ennemies won't figure out her next plans. In episode 40/41 (can't remember which one), Tal Tal even says how she's the only he can't read. It's for her survival. Heck, in episode 41, she looks at TH while he's speaking of Goryeo and you can't tell if she curse at him with her eyes or she's just cautious.  :rolleyes:

 

I'm also happy to see I'm not the only one who liked this episode. Also the dialogue between Tal Tal and Kwibi at the end was gold.  :hurr:

guys i'm on the hunt for this BTS video~!

i saw this on the Soompi thread but 

that thread moves so much faster than this one hahaha

i've seen a BTS vid from the hunting ep but this part wasn't in it..?

any help?

No haha, HJW had had a problem with her horse, I doubt it was planned by the script so it must be a video cut.

i'm slightly confused by what you mean hahah?? :derp:

 

Well It wasn't planned by the script so they didn't keep the scene in the final editing. 

 

Just a random thought but what if Eagle Clan's leader was

 

 

SN's brother ? It's weird how the drama doesn't even mention him, ok just once, when he was SN's accomplice in History..  :ninja:

Isn't it Kolta tho ?  :unsure:

 

Everything seems to point at him  :)

 

It's because everyone suspect him (knetz first) I doubt it's him. He's related to the Eagle Clan, maybe he's the second but EKi's writers are more subtle than that. They will pull another plot twist, I feel it. Heck, we still don't know how SN will prove Maha isn't TN&TH's son since they

killed the nun.

Yes , I'm curious about that too and since EK's writers are genius I'm really anticipating it  :)

 

I wonder what kind of plot twist they'll pull this time. They better do it right, I trust them on this ! 

 

 

Tal Tal and SeungNyang's moments are the best things in Empress Ki for me  :)

 

Yes, especially the last scene. It's me or it was seriously sexy ?  :hurr:

I love when they are talking together, it's always so meaningful. But I have a question, why did she call him 'uncle' ? Technically, she's Baek Ahn's adopted daughter and Tal Tal is his nephew, he should her cousin...  :derp: Maybe it's a problem of translation but if it's true, it's really random. Or maybe, it's just a figure of speech, a sign of respect or something ?

wait..can someone tell me why everyone is suddenly looking for this treasure?? 

i feel like it could have ended in 40eps tbh with the whole maha thing being

resolved and SN as empress...

 

Lol because the coffers are empty and they need money. Even if the whole Maha would have been resolved, the writers would've distorted History even more since SN becomes an Empress after Bayan's niece. The New Empress stays here for ~17 years in History, hope she won't remain that long in this drama. 

 

Also for your ad thing, you should just DL Adblock.

there were defenitely too many WY & SN scenes in the last episodes. please make it stop again. >.<

oh and to me it feels like if SN ever had feelings for TH they're pretty much gone atm. T.T

 

No doubt it. She's just frustrated because she can't make him change his mind like before. He's getting more and more confident and she can't manipulate him anymore, so she has to resort to tricks to get what she wants. Lol @ TH who doesn't realize SN is still a Koryeo-an (?) in her heart, not quite an Yuan people. Now she took the money and have the power, she'll be all lovey-dovey again.

 

 

decided to check out the TaNyang thread at soompi and whoa...some hardcore shippers haha

it is super active and moves fast with some intense analyzing...

idk if i can handle it XD  i love them as a couple and of course we all fantasize that our fave couple is real

but i mean... JCW & HJW are almost 10 years apart. i think they are at diff stages in their life to date each other.

although i do believe that they could be really good friends in real life since they seem to get along so well ^-^

 

 

thanks ^-^

yeah i have Adblock but that doesn't block ads from hulu =/

eh i'll just deal, i like watching in high quality hahaha XD

 

 

and that's just the thing...everything that happened after El Temur seems pointless to me...

the whole ED suddenly having this vendetta against SN and bayan being all power hungry or whatever

and then the entrance of the new empress....

i don't really care for it, i really just want to see what will happen with Maha

and what will happen between TH WY & SN

will she ever say kind words to TH? does WY still feel for SN? does SN still feel for WY?

will there be trouble when it is known that SN has a son with another man?

 

As for Hulu, they'll stop uploading EKi's vids the April 2nd. 

 

What's scary is this drama are the shippers. They're one of most hardcore shippers I've never seen. Heck, WangNyang shippers all want to drop the drama but they can't since they invested too much time in it and are tied up to the characters. There are even fanwars between WangNyang and TaNyang shippers..  :derp: Hopefully for me, I'm a TaNyang shipper but I ship more Nyang with Tal Tal (even though I know it'll never happen  :rolleyes: but I ship them as intellectual close friends). 

 

Lol, I've even seen people on Soompi saying they'll leave EKi's thread because everyone was making essays about TaNyang love.  :lol: But I think until the end, it'll still be a triangle. Why ? Because it's the same case as Mirae's Choice, they have a top star who is making his comeback and then the public loves more the less known actor with the main actress but the writers can't really erase the initial couple in fear of offending the top star and his agency. Remember how JJM's agency complained publicly, it was to force writers to give more screentime to JJM. Also, JJM plays a Korean and JCW a Chinese and we know how patriotic Koreans are... So we'll likely see Wang Yoo until the end and WangNyang as well. I don't really care about it because I know SN isn't the kind of person to cheat. She already gave up on Wang Yoo when she entered in the palace as a potential concubine.

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:

yess soo true! i watched Miarae's Choice for yonghwa. yes i'm >.< guilty! but i also liked the other male lead however i stopped watching once i realized that she was gonna end up with the other guy and not yonghwa hahaha

 

LMAO I stopped watching it after episode 2 when I realized Yonghwa was the second lead and then I never came back to it after I read the recaps. This drama had so much potential but it turned out really bad. If I can't love the female lead (especially if she's the main character) then I can't watch the drama. And Mirae was seriously awful.

 

 

Guess now this whole opening scene with Tahwan saying that SN saved WY's pitiful life is maybe related to his plan ?

 

Maybe but knowing the writers maybe it has to do with a trap set by BA or even the New Empress and WY fell in it, something really unpredictable since they're the best for the cliffhangers ! But the fact TH call WY's life as pitiful shows how he doesn't respect him anymore.. (because in episode 41, he said harsh things to WY but still added how he shouldn't misunderstand his words..). Maha issue maybe ?

He had a letter in his hands and I assume it might be the exchange letters between Wang Yu and SN.

God he will go through so much in the last few episodes.

It breaks my heart for him so much.

 

Paeha :cry:

 

O M G

So he's extremely angry right ?  :horror:

What's wrong with me, why I am shaking like this for this drama  :._.:

I'm sooo scared  :omg:
