I really like this drama from the start. Tbh. I'm not much fan of "children-versions story" being told for long time in the drama so I'm happy they kept it short. Same with "she is acting as a boy" (which in many dramas is "too long period"). Now I can focus on the most interesting thing (for me) - all this "Queen - Concubine" story/fight :D
It's different and very enjoyable; I am watching great dramas these days.
I watched episode 10 and there's a scene between the Yuan emperor and Seung Nyang which broke my heart. *sniffles* I still love this drama as much as when I first started it. It's the one I anticipate the most each week. Though, I still think I should have started it later because having to wait a week for the episodes is killing me! I think I'm going to re-watch all episodes next week. I'm also in love with the instrumental tracks.

Have you watched episode 10 yet?

Edit

Nevermind, I just saw your last post in last drama ep watched....lol

What did you think of the scene when the Yuan emperor asks Seung Nyang to take....Seung Nyang's place ? And that ending! Another cliffhanger.

ahaha yea i was finally able to watch ep 10, gooddrama failed me but a fellow MDLer posted some link up ...stopped everything i was doing and went to watch it lol

that scene is pretty heart breaking, you can just telling how Seung Nyang heart was wavering at that moment, i love how we see the different sides of the prince. Lol not just the ending cliff hanger but a trailer cliff hanger too =_=

i'm growing a big interest on the turk girl.
It's funny how the Eunuch and the other man (Sorry I'm bad for names) find out immediately that the turk girl is a woman. Now they have experience xD.

Yeah, she was definitely wavering. She can tell how scared and lonely he really is in that part. I also like how they are slowly developing his character, showing he's just not a spoiled baby.

Jajaja.

I really hope they keep doing it this way. I really dislike sudden changes in the personality of the character.

I watched Ep. 11 and there's one part that kind of made no sense to me. I get it's K-drama land and all, but *Seung Nyang is a warrior, and even if she was in lala land, for me it was pretty unbelievable how Togon just walked up to and almost touched her without her noticing. I thought it was like second nature to her to be alert and aware of her surroundings.*

I still can't get over how dense the Yuan emperor is. I facepalmed while laughing...lol

Needless to say, I was not expecting to be totally blown away by both the story and the acting.


high five! not a huge fan of historic and not a fan of longggg drama too! but we got ha ji won in mulan style :) made all the difference for me to try
Episode 12 ends in another cliffhanger... I'm waiting for the episode that doesn't so I can let it pile up a bit, but it just isn't happening!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! did you see the preview too????
i'm loving how the ep is split into 2 stories, 1 with the physical action and 1 with the emotional battle in the court. i dont even have a second to take my eyes off
