The first few episodes had raised the bar but later it became tiresome. The 21 episodes should have been cut to only 16. The script should have been tighter. The problems they face suddenly disappear in the last two episodes. Real smooth. Han Ye seul Korean in origin has been brought up in the US.Continue reading “Birth Of A beauty”

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. SheContinue reading “Empress Ki”

Along with the three main characters so many have impressed me! Their presence is a delight. Here because of those 51 episodes all have their characters fleshed out. Of them the one who impresses most is Tal tal. With general Beakan he is just the talented nephew. But as the comes back to the capitalContinue reading “Empress Ki”

After a lull, it perks up at 40th episode. Very little remains to be explored. But the parallels are again very much there. Ha Ji -won has done a brilliant job. She has lived that role. She must have been there for a year at least. If normal dramas are shot for 6 months withContinue reading “Empress Ki”

After the last episode it feels nice. I had expected more but yes, this will do. A few scenes did have Kim Seon ho having an upper hand but Nam Joo hyuk is the protege.. Nam Do san! He has all our votes surely. Bae Suzy as usual breezing through with flying colours. She lookedContinue reading “Start Up”

The journey will come to an end today. The hassles of a new venture & the uncertainty will end. Dal Mi & Do san in a comfort zone where nothing can shake up now. The role of the dimpled prince, Mr Han is unmistakable. He missed his chance in childhood & again when he choseContinue reading “Start Up”

After eliminating the Grand councillor, Ki Yang had hoped to have things her way. But she has to meet with new resistance. She is from Goryeo & she is dreaming of being the Empress of the Yuen clan. The Emperor takes up a new Empress against his will. He has to follow his mother’s advice.Continue reading “Empress Ki”

I was planning to see this show but somehow it got postponed. With Nam Joo & Bae Suzy’s show coming to a close, it was an excellent opportunity to for it. It begins with a fat, healthy housewife contesting in a show, ‘Change’ the winner gets a chance for the complete make over. Sa Geum-ranContinue reading “Birth of a Beauty”

Towards the 35th episode it is becoming more & more interesting. The grand councillor does have great power but the emperor & his concubine join forces to end his terror. The present Empress is bent on eliminating the concubine Ki. She orders a shaman to put a curse to kill her. Here it resembles ‘TheContinue reading “Empress Ki”

Towards the 14th episode no surprises here. The Dimpled Prince, Mr Han has sure won many a hearts & also toppled the top stars but our loyalty remains with the amature, hesitant, lonely, handsome (the water God!) any day! I admired Do San’s mom who is able to predict in percentage how the relationship willContinue reading “Start Up”
