somewhat salvageable as a female-centric drama
HA HA HA.
i don't know anymore.
first of all, i always read comments wanting Sunny to end up with the Emperor LOL. i could never understand this. she even lost respect for him as a human (she only sees him as a monster until the end), so love is clearly not in the discussion.
she never once admitted to herself or to Wang Shik that she has fallen in love with him. we can see it from her eyes when she look at him, and worries for him that it's the look of love, but she never pursued it to protect her dignity as the Empress and as a married woman.
in that sense, i can totally respect the love line that was never pursued to its full potential. love is not about owning, anyways.
i cannot however, make sense that they never killed Wang Shik's character when he was out in Chungeum Island with the Empress and Min Yu Ra to inspect the greenhouses (poppy fields). his last scene in the drama was literally him fighting off the guards there. and when they decided to extend the story with no CJH acting his extended parts, they decided to simply kill his character during the press conference explosion without showing his face!!!!
WHAT FCKIN COMICAL WRITING.
i really believed they should have killed Wang Shik's character when CJH was still there to shoot it since he was dying anyways. and therefore leave his character out completely of the extended episodes. his distasteful character ending really left a bad taste in my mouth, damn. i also wished had they ended Wang Shik's character properly with his death while CJH was still acting it, Sunny was there to embrace him in his final moments, and let him know that she too has loved him back deeply.
ouh, how one could wish. i would have been so satisfied with that.
i liked that the Emperor ended up dead with the greedy ED killing him with her own hands. that shows how damaged beyond repair they both are. the Emperor would rather go out on a suicide mission than take the hard way to rectify Imperial Family mistakes on public, and the ED is not shy away from killing her own sons to pursue her greed, and she ended up going insane in prison.
well at least ep. 52 was pretty salvageable, with me being reminded that this was a female centric drama anyways, and the female characters writing have had more impact on me than the two male leads.
i really couldn't care less about the Emperor until the end though many viewers kept rooting for him. i literally get dumbfounded when people say he had the best character development. B*TCH, WHERE??
what i can say is, i am happy i skipped parts and fast forwarded this drama to quickly reach the sinking ship ending that it is instead of giving it my full attention intently from the start. LOL!
