Empress Ki Episode 11

Slower more obvious plot lines.

Slower more obvious plot lines. The abortion thing was clear as day. I wonder if Seung Nyang figured it out and pull a fast one over the bad guys.

The idea that the Emperor is more worried that a girl is better than him at being a man was annoying. How about being worried that she is the real Seung Nyang because he betrayed him? I guess I'm supposed to assume he didn't know general Ki was her father and what truly happened to Seung Nyang. Still. I'm already tired of his obsession. Not to mention his anger about it. He needs to pause for a second and realize that he betrayed Seung Nyang AND probably more since she ended up there.

Even though many of the women are despicable and I love it! They are just as power hungry as the men, yet they have to play by different rules. In the end I like that the woman and men can be the same. It's as lethal and vicious!!!!

That said this episode was a bit slower. I want the Emperor to actually plan on becoming stronger and smarter than his enemies. The story of both the royal politics and the war that the King of Goryeo are fighting a bit to obvious for my tastes. Still really awesome.

The one thing I truly like is the friendship that Seung Nyang and Lady Park are forming. This will be something I look forward to developing. (Oh, and I'm knocking off more points for not only the Emperor's pining, but for Seung Nyang's pining. Sheesh.)

yes yes yes

What an absolute fabulous episode with a big cliffhanger. Oh, I am so looking forward to the next episode. I can't wait to see what will happen now that the Emperor has found out about Sungnyang. What will happen to the Emperor's concubine? I hope she won't be hurt. I really hate that stupid maid for being so materialistic and that she doens't have an ounce of loyalty. Always putting herself first.
What I am also looking forward to is the fight King/Batolu/Bayan. This is getting very interesting. I wonder what is going to happen. Anyway I don't think that this fight against the Turks will last much longer. I am sure the King will soon "return" to Sungnyang and then the whole love triangle thingy will start. Omo
