wandering thoughts...my K-World

Episode 30 Random thoughts.... More than halfway and finally the awaited and dreaded [for me] meeting of Nyang and Wang Yu came. It was a reunion filled with bittersweet moments between lovers whose fate made them part ways. Nyang was very controlled of the situation, even reassuring Ta Hwan that she will stay by his side. There'a no need to fear because she belongs now to the Emperor even if there's no intimacy between them. Her agenda is what's more important. Just as Wang Yu has stand by his decision to move forward without her by his side. Both were filled with pain and the memories of what they had but going forward, they must. The moment was a sad event, tears on the verge of their eyes. Love is still there but I think between the two, Nyang was the one who chose to stay and remain distant. What could Wang Yu possibly have done looking at the cold and determined woman in front of him? None, but to guard his own pride as a man and as a K...

cre: soompi Actress  Ha Ji Won  talked about filming the difficult childbirth scene in “ Empress Ki ” at a press conference for the drama on January 20. She said, “Rather than the action [being difficult], I got pregnant and had to have a child in a cave. It was the hardest thing for me since I started acting. I almost even passed out.” “I had to do the scene in a block of ice about 10cm thick. My whole body went numb and I felt like I was turning into ice. When I came out, the staff started massaging my body to get the blood flowing, but it felt like my body was going to shatter, so I told them to stop. Portraying emotions that come from a very extreme situation was very difficult.” “Seeing that I didn’t have much action, but a pregnancy scene instead, and that I would have to portray the emotions of a woman having a fatherless child all in a single episode, I was really on edge. If my portrayal of anything like morning sickness was poorly done, I worried a lot...

A new drama comeback for Ha Ji Won in the small screen, Empress Ki is creating a buzz in drama world. The last time I saw her was in Secret Garden where I truly saw her as an actress. I did watch her in a saeguk before, Hwang Jini but it was a long time ago I can't remember well. Empress Ki is in my list to watch but because it aired at the same time as the other drama I follow, I decided to wait for the right time or  maybe free time for me to catch up. But I do know some friends I follow in soompi are all recommending the drama. Then I read how the drama has been reaping success in terms of high ratings. Now, my interest really perked up and decided to take a peek! Which turned into a marathon! I finished 9 episodes in just two nights!  First impression? Actually, no more surprises for me to see that the story is compelling considering the viewer's taste. And it's a historical drama, so for me saeguks have a unique appeal that always satisfy me as a viewe...
