@Nteti, thank you so much :D
@addicted2dramas, again I haven't watched the episode but based on what you just said - I get her looking as though she's fine & not a victim - but this IS Seung Nyang after all. Even if he did do something to her, she wouldn't show it. The woman's proud & strong. My thing was that she was in the corner while he slept & basically seemed to refuse to touch him after whatever that was. Of course, as someone mentioned above, considering the time period and the fact that he was her emperor and she his consort, she probably did consent when she realized she couldn't fight him off. I just have a big problem with him forcing himself on her. But then, she becomes his Empress? I don't know where this is going anymore to be honest :|

Hi there! I'm sorry I took so long to send that friend request! But hi, it's really nice to meet you. Feel free to talk to me anytime. I don't have enough drama-watching/fangirling people in my life so thank you for being willing to be one of them :D Ask away about the EK questions, trust me, I'm only too happy to answer. Also, wow, the number of dramas you've completed - I bow to your drama-watching prowess, friend! xD

Haha, I am definitely a fellow EK fangirl & trust me when I say I appreciate your fangirling VERY MUCH since there's no one around for me to discuss my feels with (aside from tumblr, of course).
As for your team question, honestly I'm not sure anymore. I started off being whole-heartedly Team Ta Hwan or as I like to call him Baby Emperor & basically shipped him so hard with Seung Nyang that my tumblr posts about them probably entered the hundreds. Then Taltal started being all awesome (although he was quietly awesome in the beginning too) especially around episode 24 which made me start to like him a lot. And then when Wang Yoo started protecting Seung Nyang, I liked him again.
So now, I'm confused about my ship.
For me though - I'd choose Taltal. That voice, intelligence & ponytail make me swoon *_*
Really enjoying all your EK pictures by the way. How do you feel about the end nearing?

I just watched MBC's videos for episode 45 and the one with Ta Hwan and Seung Nyang - I'm afraid to even ask this - but did he really rape her?
There weren't any subs and from the video, that's what it seemed like and as someone who's been a fan of him since the beginning this is disturbing, sad and angering me greatly if he really did that.

Taltal had better be alive and well by the end of this drama.

Also, if Wang Yoo is really still alive, I hope, for the love of all that is right in this world, that they do not dare play an amnesia card.
Or make him sleep with Yon Feisu or something.
Please, don't keep breaking my heart like this, EK writers!

Team Taltal. Definitely Taltal.

HOLD UP.
I haven't watched episode 44 yet but from what I heard - Wang Yoo's dead. Then I saw the preview for episode 45 and there's Seung Nyang drinking herself into oblivion while Ta Hwan forces his way into her chambers and apparently tries to force himself on her?
What the heck is going on?!
SEVEN MORE EPISODES AND THE FIRST SCENE IS NOWHERE IN SIGHT.
How is this going to work out?!

Awesome, wonderful, spectacular! Just finished this drama and I found myself with a goofy grin as I watched the last scene. It was such a great experience to watch Xiao Jie's character grow and flourish into such a marvelous person. Also, Zhang Han as Tang Jun wins your heart immediately with that charm and that smile. I began watching this initially because of Godfrey Gao since I wanted to hear him speaking Mandarin, having seen him as Magnus Bane in The Mortal Instruments movie. And boy, was it a treat to watch this man. I alternated between like and dislike for Zhi Qi but it's so hard to hate on Mr. Gao. Ultimately though, Zhi Qi finally won me over and again, I really adore the way the drama ends.
Highly recommended!

I seem to have a thing for the Goryeo and Joseon dynasty periods more than anything else for some reason - the costumes, the music even just seem to fascinate me although I've never done much research on the history itself. As for the tumblr - my username is obsessedwithfandoms (http://obsessedwithfandoms.tumblr.com) and you can have a look but be warned of my craziness ^.^ do you have a tumblr account?

This was such a good drama. Light and fun to watch, some great little lessons to learn and you can't deny the eye candy - easily one of the best looking casts in my drama experience (yes, to me, they even beat the Korean F4).
And even me, the grand lover of all things in a love triangle, found this drama refreshing with all the romances for each of the boys. The ending made me smile :)
Highly recommended!
[PS. Busunako, Busunako, BUSUNAKO! Can't get that out of my head!]

These days, I find myself attracted to more historical romance settings. I know a lot of people hate love triangles but I seem to thrive on them :3 Other than that, I like rom-coms mainly. Heh, I think I like romance a little too much.
What about you?
Ha, if you like the pictures on my profile, you should see my tumblr. I kind of go a little overboard with screenshots and Empress Ki. xD

In the first half of the drama, I loved Baby Emperor to death but in the second half, I feel the love coming on more and more for Wang Yoo.
And well, Taltal - I've loved you all along.

I hope their endings are happy.

I thought I couldn't hate anyone more than I did Tanashiri.
Boy, was I wrong.
Empress Dowager is a nasty piece of work.
And Empress Bayan ain't far behind either.
I can't wait for Empress Bayan to show her true colours and Empress Dowager's just going to be there like, "Maybe I should've trusted Lady Ki after all, dirty barbarian Goryeo blood and all."
Crossing my fingers for it to blow up in her face.

It says 51 episodes now!
TEN MORE LEFT.
And we haven't even reached that first scene in Episode 1!
HOW IS THIS GOING TO WORK?!

Also, please let Wang Yoo and Seung Nyang get some time with their son where they're actually aware that it is their child D: PLEASE.

And I'm done! Now that was a roller coaster of emotions. First 20 episodes were a breeze to watch but for me, I hated Zheng Er, Gao Wei & Zu Ting too much to really watch their scenes in the episodes after. However, with the exception of Zu Ting - who I still hate - I don't hate Zheng Er & Gao Wei quite as much by the time the drama ended. They're still horrid people but truly, as demented as they were, I think it was the circumstances they were in that shaped their character.
My favourite character was definitely Yu Wen Yong. He's quite possibly my favourite character & second male lead of all the dramas I've watched so far. He is the reason you should watch this drama. All the episodes that had him were my favourite, especially episodes 15 to 17.
As for the ending, I didn't find it as sad as some seem to have. I thought it was a fitting end for a great drama.
Definitely recommend it!

Hi :D (high fives you back) nice to meet you too ^^

Zheng Er angst towards the end?! I'm now watching episode 21 and there's so much Zheng Er angst that I want to skim D:
I'm missing Yuwen Yung and Zhen Er too. As cute as Fourth Prince and Xue Wu are together, I'm kind of hoping Xue Wu ends up back in Zhou again. Episodes 15 to 17 were my favourites so far.

Oh no! D:
I heard that and at first I wasn't going to watch it but I got sucked in.
I'm up to episode 20 and while I want to smack Zheng Er, it's just so good D:

Up to episode 12 and loving it! Prince An De makes me laugh so much. Such a ladies man, this guy. And Xiao Dong, so cute! And Yuwen Yung, the seemingly bad one you love anyway (so far at least)! And of course, Fourth Prince :3
I'm addicted.
