Korean drama review : The Empress Ki


Well, just to give some introduction about this drama;
It is basically about a woman born in Korea navigates her way through love, war, politics and national loyalties to become a powerful empress in China's Yuan dynasty.
The series revolves around Gi Seungnyang (Ha Ji Won), a Goryeo-born woman who ascends to power despite the restrictions of the era's class system, and later marries Toghon TemΓΌr which is Emperor of Mongol Empire (Ji Chang Wook) to become an empress of the Yuan dynasty, instead of her first love, Wang Yu (Joo Jin Moo). It managed to highlight the deep love the Emperor embedded in Lady Ki and depicts her loves and political ambitions.
It was an epic Korean drama based on on a real person ; Empress Gi.

I managed to finish all 51 episodes of Empress Ki drama within 4 days during Restrictions Movement Order's periods due to coronavirus disease pandemic in Malaysia...
I didn't count how many hours i didn't move from the sofa since i also take care of my 2 little kiddos while watching the drama... πŸ˜…πŸ˜†
But i enjoyed the most during both of them sleep at night, tried to use every seconds of it to watch that drama all night long...
And yes, I'd become like a mombie (mom + zombie) after that 4 days... πŸ˜‚

Looking at how the growth of emperor's personality and abilities is so satisfying,
Seung Nyang's heartbreaking moments again and again and again but alwasy back to be even stronger is so amazing,
Wang Yu's honesty, loyalty and sacrifices everything even his own life for his love is so overwhelming...
And of course, superb acting by all the supporting casts definitely brings perfection for this drama too...
Obviously this drama is full with actions, emotions and various moral of the story... 

Amazing acting skills not only from leading roles but also from their supporting cast, superb scripts, very well oriented storyline, nice and mesmerising background music soundtracks and of course, various styles of Ji Chang Wook and Ha Ji Won's actings from beginning until the end of this drama and charismatic aura of Jin Mo Ju as Wang Yu is undeniably awesome...!

Overall, this drama is so amazing and spectacular...
So, i think it's all worth it for watching 51 episodes of this drama...

This is the longest Korean drama I've ever watched but i think this drama has become my favourite one and of course, if there is anyone asking for k-drama recommendation, i will surely recommend them to watch Empress Ki..! 
Literally, this is the best and most outstanding historical Korean drama I've ever watched... πŸ‘πŸ»
No wonder why this drama and the casts got so many awards... πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜„

Even after 4 months, i still can't move on from all the songs and music videos from this drama...i play it again and again the soundtracks on YouTube especially Thorn Love and Just Once music video clips... ❤️🎢

Little to know, my husband and me started to adore and become fan of Ha Ji Won after watching this drama...(yes, my husband also a k-drama fan...!) πŸ˜…

Thanks to my lovely friend Rubee who recommended this drama for me...i had so much fun watching this drama Bee...! 😘

By the way, have u ever seen Ji Chang Wook singing...?
He sang and delivered one of the original soundtrack of this drama To The Butterfly really well...! 🎧🎼🎡
I found on YouTube that he singing CNBLUE's song I'm a Loner very well too..! πŸ˜πŸŽΆ
