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!

Posted somewhere else in M too.

This blog was posting while it aired, still one of the best about this Classic.
Lot's of information.
( Half of the budget was spend on the handmade costumes )

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.
