This is a show of strong women! Oh, and finally the Emperor is figuring it out!

Finally the Emperor is figuring it out! Yes, it's not a coincidence that she looks just like him! Even with the proof of her responding to the name. Though I guess she could have just been started. It's a relief that he's finally going to find out that she is Seung Nyang. (Oh, and I guess she goes by Nyang, but then it was Ki somewhere in there before.) Still I can't believe he didn't know right away. -_-

Ha-ha! Battle of the Empresses! It's fierce and scary. Those to woman have more balls then most of the men! Not only are the Empresses and Seung Nyang)fierce, but now Batolu is a confirmed as a woman! Yes! I thought so. So cool. I am beyond happy that this drama has so many amazing woman.

Not only that but the balance of battle and court intrigue struck the perfect balance. Just enough of each to not becoming over powering. I love the intrigue and strategy of the King of Goryeo. Sadly he won't be taking credit it seems.

I will confess that the wedding scene of Seung Nyang becoming Empress clearly ruins who won't die and make it to the day. So in that aspect some of the suspense is taken away. Yet I am at the edge of my seat. The journey of these characters is what makes it worth it.

The inner dialogue is still a wonderful touch as we get to see into the minds of the characters. Truly the best thing for developing them. There's a lot of ground covered here. The most important thing is how Seung Nyang is going to handle being recruited by the Empress. She has an opportunity here to be a double spy and take out her real enemies.

good

This was a episode that I liked very much. Many things happened and the suspense doesn't decrease with every new episode. Thanksfully.
I can't really say what I prefered. The scenes with the King or the scenes with Sungnyang. Both were really quite good. I like Batolu's daughter somehow although she's the enmy but it is so good to see another woman beside Sungnyang who is really cool.
Also this whole story with the Empress and Sungnyang is making me very anxious.
Aaaah, before I forget. Is it just me who is curious what will happen with Sungnyang/Dang Ki Se in the future? I really am interested in how much he actually desires her.
