The Last Empress Episode 1

6.0/10 -Wham! What an intro!

Argh!! I hate how popular it is to show the pivotal moment and the start of the show and then flashback to "when it all started". Though I will admit that is quite the pivotal moment!! I mean a corpse and we're seeing it's the leading lady who is the owner!!

Wow, I won't lie. This drama is bringing the heat!! It's just knocking everything out of the water. The cameras!
Shin Sung Rok's looks! The queen setup the cameras I'm sure. Shin Sung Rok's looks. Why is the man so sexy! Not to mention that Imperial goon just shot a man in the jugular with a tracking and listening device! Holy dramas!

This was pretty intense. Also, an interesting introductory. Though I find it hard that Sunny marries Emperor Lee Hyuk. Though my above comments do mean his shocking good looks would have anyone on board to that, so maybe not. But really I am finding it hard to believe.

So far I like the setup. There's already so much intrigue! I can't believe this is a family drama! Korea is stepping it up! Now I'm gonna go and see how Sunny ends up married into the family.
