Empress Ki Episode 5

Holy politics! *bleep* That is corruption.

Holy politics! It's insane that even though the King of Goryeo saw that guy's sons shooting at Toron (is that what they're calling the Prince of Yuan) he still can't take action! They even mutilated an innocent man without a committee or hardcore proof. *bleep* That is corruption.

This episode was one heck of a rush . . . while some how still managing to be slower. It's building up the situation. There's many close calls for Seung Nyang's gender to come out, and definitely one confirmed find out.

Goryeo is in danger as the succession for the next Emperor is playing out. (Man do the commercials make me soooooo afraid.) This episode definitely does a lot more to expand the characters. Not to mention that there is a lot of people who want vengeance against Yuan.

Ah, and the Prince of Yuan (AKA Emperor to be) is slowly growing up. Here part of the hard truth from Seung Nyang will help him on his way to becoming a better (and hopefully less whiny) Emperor.

Things are getting realer, and I'm very curious if Seung Nyang will soon take a step towards greater revenge.

Random things that made me laugh: The whole chest wrap reveal and Prince Yuan is so innocent he just asks why and if she's okay! Ha-ha. The whole thing with straining so hard that he didn't just fart . . . oh gross!
