No drama can surpass the roller coaster ride of emotions I felt in this drama. I can't even start a new drama after watching it. Given the chance that I'd want to watch this again, I WOULD.Īnd finally, watching EK is an adventure which will be with me forever. I loved all the villains in this sageuk except for one. Jun Gook Hwan / El Temur - I never hated him even though how ruthless he was. Lee Mun Shik / Bang - ahjussi, I will never forget how well you played in Iljimae and also here in EK. Actually voted for him in the MDL 2014 poll for best actor.īaek Jin Hee - portrayed the Tanasiri character very convincingly.

He did a great job in acting esp in crying scenes. Ji Chang Wook - My first time seeing him in a drama. Just like how much he was great in A Frozen Flower. I have not seen any actor acting with an expressionless face nor overrated acting. I like unpredictable things.Īcting/ Cast: Every actor in this drama did a stellar job in portraying each character. One thing that I loved as well was the turn of events.

But, nevertheless, it was an EXCEPTIONAL sageuk. (You might disagree with me on this, but it's actually true.) It only means that I am satisfied about it. And mind you, when I'm really enjoying a particular drama, I become LESS OBJECTIVE. I was overwhelmed by it to the extent that I didn't look for any flaw. I love killings, and I think these killings were the most highlighted parts of the drama aside from the intriguing plot. Not the usual save-all-the-main-characters-protagonists kind of plot. Story - I love how the story of EK started and ended. I suggest you (future watchers) dramathon it and don't skip a single episode nor a single scene. I am always deeply enthralled with every scene that leaves you in awe and keeps you wanting for more.

Thanks to those who convinced me and of course to the helpful reviews as well.Įmpress Ki, I must say, is a very compelling, powerful and controversial historical drama. Wanna know why? IT'S A FRIGGIN' LENGHTY DRAMA! To watch a 51-episode historical drama requires full time and dedication to finish it. Rewatch Value 9.0 At first, I was skeptical about it.
