Finally finished watching it. Was I impressed? Yes, surely. What I liked about it is she did not die in the end! She flees with her son & watches him ascend the throne when he grows up! Now this is a success story.
In ‘Goodbye My Princess’ she never adjusted in her husband’s household. She fled to her mother’s place in the Eastern province & finally kills herself on the battlefield in front of her brother & husband. The Prince lives long grieving her death & the throne goes to his nephew.
When the emperor kills the Korean king Wang Yu, he learns the secret of Prince Maha. For last five years he has endured the secret letters exchanged between Ki & Wang Yu. These letters are meant to create a rift between Imperial Noble consort Ki & the Emperor.
The head of the Eagle House With the Empress Dowager plan to dethrone the present Emperor. He has been given poison with his medicine. His death is imminent. He kills Wang Yu & has killed many innocent people. Yet he rises in our eyes & his death is not justifiable.
The lead pair of Ji Chang Wook & Ha Ji Won have been splendid. If ‘Start Up’ required 8 months I wonder how long the shoot must have lasted for ‘The Empress Ki’? What fascinated me was General Taltal! From his entry he has wisdom, courage & wit that are lacking in most of his contemporaries. One of my Youtube friend predicted that he is going to die from the 30th episode but I never believed her. Indeed he dies when he goes to fight the Rebels. That was bad. Good thing was he was aware that he may not come back!
I need to follow him in another show. He never had any casual clothes in this show . Always ready for war! How does he really look like? I am curious.’Bravo my love ‘ or “Dr Jin” should be perfect!
