102 episodes, that's me having watched Empress Ki for a second time. This drama is beyond words, the development of the characters is amazing, the twists and turns, the music, the costumes, the acting. Wow! Like most people have stated here, it's a masterpiece!
Despite all the bad reviews and spoilers I went ahead and watched the series, I wanted to find out if the negative reviews were justified. They were spot on! The episodes felt long, draggy, waffly and boring.
Wow! What a rollercoaster of emotions, plots and literal drama. I'm glad I gave this a second shot, the acting is well executed by most if not all cast members and the story is different, it brings a fresh outlook to the typical Chinese predictable drama. Well done!
The prequel to this drama was amazing but this drama with the same leads is just a waste of my bloody time. No romance, no comedy, no intimacy, overall no chemistry. Totally overrated and that is why I'm giving this drama a disappointing 5.
The viewer anticipates from the beginning that there's gonna be a sad ending, and that's what this drama is mainly about, sadness!! There's very little romance and a lot of heartbreak. The acting is well executed by both lead actors and deserve all the praise for their stellar performances. If you are a fan, you must watch it, but if you are looking for a 'feel good' drama, this is not it.
