The Last Empress Episode 12

6.0/10 - Yeah, another 6. To me a watchable drama is 5 and up ratings. *shrugs*

That product placement! I love it when it feels like part of the show. I give them props for that. Now to the good stuff.

The development to Sunny has been such a blessing! No one wants a silly fan girl who knows nothing as a lead. She's getting smarter. Smarter means figuring out the Yu Ra may not be a friend, but an enemy. Yes! Thank goodness the writer wants this to happen! I honestly thought we'd be half way through the show before Sunny started getting clued in. Also, can I also jump for joy that Sunny apparently is really good at martial arts!! I want to see that soon!! Super soon! PLEASE!!!!!!!!! Actually how cool would it be to see Sunny and Lee Hyuk face off. >_<

Chun Woo Bin got outed fast, but this show is ready to kill! Yeah! Kill! Ma Pil Joo has proven to be a smart man. That's why he's so important to Lee Hyuk and has stayed alive this long. Chun Woo Bin should not be taunting Yu Ra, but I'm sure his renewed grief is leading him off the deep end. The car chase was very satisfying if a bit dragged out. Chun Woo Bin got smart using the body on hand to make "Na Wang Shik" look dead. Though I can't believe he let himself bleed all over. Plus,he needed to see Yu Ra's smile.


So I guess I should talk about this other male kid of Empress Dowager. So no one knows his face. Is he illegitimate. Or does he just hate his family? He's a famous author who likes to be anonymous and is working at Sunny's chicken place. He clearly knows who they are. What's going on?

That ending! First Sunny just bossed up and said, "Who am I!" Boom! Has Chun Woo Bin take her where she needs to be to see the truth. I am so happy Sunny found out the WHOLE truth between Lee Hyuk and Yu Ra. Well she doesn't know how long this affair has been going on. That's okay cause when Chun Woo Bin looks at Sunny! Their eyes meeting in understanding the fire of vengeance burns! Sunny might not be there yet, but if things keep unfolding like this she will be.
