The Last Empress Episode 13

6.0/10 - Sunny was such a boss this episode!

I didn't mention last review. But that tear drop breaking Sunny's bracelet was intense! It seems so silly and way fake-over-the-top. It hit hard though. Sunny's response at everything hit home. Of course what are the chances there's a jumper there and only Sunny notices. Not to mention that the jumper did it because her husband was having an affiar. It did however setup a great in to probably one of the best scenes. Before I get into that scene it is quite true that Lee Hyuk and Sunny do make a beautiful and charming couple. If Lee Hyuk was really sincere that is. Sunny is an actress after all. She's got her own gifts and just PRed the crap out of that interview. Sunny isn't going down with out a fight. They may have got married fast, but she's in love. Applauds for making Lee Hyuk and Yu Ra eat with her! She gave them her opinion. It was amazing! The best scenes and dialogue yet. Though I felt that knife go in when Lee Hyuk just let Yu Ra take his hand behind her back. AFTER EVERYTHING SHE JUST SAID!!!!!

To contrast Sunny's suffering the whole Vincent Lee thing is really turning out priceless. It gives Sunny's sister a plot line and something to do. The actress playing Sunny's sister, Oh Hel Ro, is amazing. She's got acting chops and despite not giving enough time to shine or be defined as a character she's doing a great job. We know she's frugal and blunt, and takes no nonsense. She cares deeply for Sunny despite what she says most of the time. We can see it on her face and her body. Though I feel like their just wasting her. It's over the top—true—but I laugh! So it's A-Okay.

Bodyguard romance is at an all time high, and it's swooning time! Points for that. Apparently Lee Hyuk must be very threatened by his Brother, Prince Yoon. I like the idea that Lee is the Crown Prince Yoon. A great contrast to Lee Hyuk.
