Watched all 51 episodes of Empress Ki in a mere four days and immediately craved more ( I went back to watch all the part I fast forwarded). The compelling script, brought to life by top-notch acting across the entire cast and supported by solid, high-budget production, creates an undeniably captivating experience. What truly added an addictive spice to the drama was the intricate love triangle between such attractive characters, all set within a historical backdrop loosely inspired by real figures. While the story is not that of historical factuality, the setting is. This element kept me absolutely hooked, constantly yearning for the next twist and turn. Highly recommend.

The premise of the story itself is unrealistic and comical, but I am still giving it 5 stars for cinematic execution, entertainment value and superb acting.

Highly recommend! I only started watching because I loved IU’s performance in kdrama, My Mister, and also saw this drama listed as must watch drama somewhere. I didn’t think I would like watching it when I saw the trailer though, so was only going to give few episode a try. However, I ended up finishing the entire drama in 3-4 days, which is rare for me. It has excellent cinematography, superb acting from all actors, lots of chills, tons of chuckles (I caught myself laughing out loud so many times), so many sorrowful, angry, happy tears and smart, engaging stories to top it all off. You won’t regret watching it.

I started watching this because it had high rating on Netflix and I am so glad I did. It is so beautifully made- had me laughing and in tears all throughout. If you are looking to be touched deep within, watch this drama.

I just watched the whole season in one day- couldn’t put down my phone. Another Korean horror series I had to have a tissue box close by. Human element is like none other in Korean dramas. Must watch as long as you can forgive some incomplete CGIs at the beginning.
