I know I should study instead of watching a #kdrama but #FirstLady is like a modern #EmpressKi with political plot twists intricated in sub plot twists.
We don't who's the villain.

Why do k-dramas have to be so good? 😩

I've had to learn the hard way that the long series that people rave about are generally loved mainly by folks who love long series. I'm not that person. However, there are a few that I felt were worth the time commitment.

Since I only have Kocowa until Friday, I decided to jump episodes, from 24-50! It's like the old soap operas I watched. Nothing was lost, other than the Crown Prince is finally the King. I can't fast-forward, so I manually moved ahead through all of the scenes containing side characters. I don't care about them. The majority are being directed to act like idiots. Very little of substance has occurred in the missing episodes.
BTW, one series that was worth every single episode is #EmpressKi. It's super engaging all of the way through.

Viki just removed it here. One of the best historicals I've ever seen.

Fabulous!! I recently watched the predictable and less-than-stellar The Time We Were Not In Love, just to see her acting again. It was no #EmpressKi

Sadly, #EmpressKi has been suddenly dropped from North American Viki. It's a fabulous show! My complaint about many of the older sageuks is that far too much time is spent shouting "Majesty", or walking around pacae grounds. Empress Ki has none of that nonsense. Both of the leads are amazing, as are the costumes.

I was very wary to start Empress Ki because it's 51 episodes and a sageuk but I'm already on episode 11 and still intrigued. It helps that there is no filler, no silly and unnecessary plot twists and no drawn-out battles. Hopefully it will keep up this pace. The costumes are to die for too!

A question for #kdrama folks on here.. does anyone have a list of historical dramas that are vaguely based on real people and events in the correct chronological order. I really want to watch #TreeWithDeepRoots but feel I probably ought to watch some earlier ones first. Think someone mentioned #SixFlyingDragons but not sure how true some others are like #EmpressKi or #RedSleeve - thanks in advance 🙂
@hanktank61 @AnnaAnthro
I was perfectly fine with the 51 episodes of #EmpressKi because there was really no filler. Each episode portrayed a gripping story, and one wanted to see what was next. Not to mention the gorgeous wardrobe that was a feast for the eyes. Both the Jewel In shows, Jewel in the Palace and Jewel in the Crown, had endless scenes of characters shouting Majesty, and various people walking across the palace grounds. They were interesting stories that I was happy to learn about, but it was stressful for me to watch so many unnecessary scenes in order to learn them.
