[mslee's thoughts] Empress Ki Review - Bittersweet Meeting Between Nyang and Wang Yu

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 King. 

Is it the end of their love story?

I wonder where the woman who was known Batoulo would fit in Wang Yu's life now? She is in his hands and was assured of protection even though she wanted none. 

Well, I have always had this special fascination towards Dang Ki Se, though I know it is kind of weird but as a villain, I am hooked by his personality. I would have liked it if by some more wicked plot and twisted writings of the writer if he will find himself drawn once again by Nyang's charisma. I am crazy, but for me, there is an air of electricity and unfinished business between them. The reason I am still watching Empress Ki. 




And of course my awaited vindication, the isolation of Tanashiri at the Cold Palace. Finally, she was caught in her own schemes and owned up to the well thought plots of Nyang. For the time being, I will not see her smiles full of sarcasms and acting the high and mighty but always hiding behind El Te Mur. Ah..the wicked, wicked old man...I would love to see him fall flat on his face, literally.

MD dreamed of TS...in the bookstore, they were still together happily bantering at each other. Woke up, found it was only a dream. Went to their old home, to the bookstore, realized it's not real and stared with tears at the chalkboard, at the bookstore.

[mslee's thoughts] The King's Face Episode 23 Final Screen caps and Review

Image
Finally I am writing my thoughts on episode 23. Even in this last episode, the King never took time to understand the heart of Prince Gwang Hae. It was so easy for him to think that Prince Gwang Hae will take his seat away from him. Yes, Gwang Hae admitted thinking of being a King but it does not mean he has a mind that could be accused of treason. Prince Gwang Hae advised his father that it should be the people he must worry about and not his face because what happens to the lives of the people makes a King's face. The King has not had the face of a king until now because he lacked the understanding and the heart of what his duty entails. His people are not happy and still suffers that's why those transcend to him as the King who over looks on them, giving him the face of not suited to be King. The advise was so honestly brutal that the King's anger to Gwang Hae made him ill and the fact that  the poison Ga Hee mixed with his tea already s

[mslee's thoughts] Ep. 15 & 16 - Secret Final Review

Image
Honestly, I was not so eager to watch the final 2 episodes. Why? Perhaps I know the story is nearing it's end and there'll be no more Secrets to look forward to next week, Why do great dramas end so fast? Hmmm...sighing here. this is somewhat long... Episode 15 Anyway, last week's ending was another cliffhanger for viewers. The question hanging in my mind was, will Do Hoon win in this game he planned? Yes, it is like a game of hide and seek, hiding secrets and seeking the truth. Yoo Jung finally had the courage to go on and file a complaint against DH for abandoning her father leading to his death. Even as she warned him that she will go through with it, DH was initially shaken but he did not let her undermine him. He was afraid for himself, the reason he gathered all the documents that will make the two companies shake. By this time, DH knew what he had to do to survive. Se Yeon was clouded by her obsession, not even considering what those documents will d
