The Last Empress Episode 27

5.0/10 - The "what really happened that night" scenes are really starting to drag.

*something went wrong and somehow my reviews for 27 and 28 ended up being combined and together. So this is just a lump review of the two.*

Sunny's care of Princess Ari is sweet. Someone needs to teach her compassion and understanding before they have another monster in the royal line. It was interesting that Lee Hyuk didn't by a word of Nanny Kang Hee's lies. I wonder why he kissed her? To see why he'd betray his first wife with Kang Hee? Lee Hyuk jumping on Sunny's bad and trying to save her was very interesting and kind of cute. What an actor!

I find all these flashback about what everyone was doing during or to Grand Empress Dowager boring. Once set of false and then the truth would make more sense. It's just getting out of control now. Not to mention tiring.

Hel Ro is one smooth operator. She doesn't know he's the Crown Prince yet, so at least Lee Yoon should know she really likes him.

Okay. WTF!!! Why wouldn't Chun Woo Bin have been super careful? He gave Yu Ra her freedom, I don't think she broke out, and of course she's gonna go to where she told him the body was. I just can't believe he wouldn't have kept his mask on. Or sent someone else if he knew he couldn't do it. If Yu Ra was smart she'd have recorded the whole thing. Though I wonder if she's decided to use Woo Bin to get revenge on Lee Hyuk? Or she's gonna try and get them both. It was interesting seeing her tell Woo Bin that "Wang Shik" would get Lee Hyuk. Was it all an act?

That said Lee Hyuk just suddenly being in Sunny's chamber was hella creepy! I hope he's not gonna force himself on her!

Now I have to be a bit annoyed, more than annoyed, about the fact that one was protecting the maid who was witness and could clear Sunny! Sunny has a the help of a secret organization. After she was already held captive why wouldn't they be protecting her? WHY!?
