This drama is not for the fainthearted or emotionally immature who are looking for easy romance storylines with no depth. The Empress ki that the writers portrayed was formidable, phenominal, calculating (she had to or else she wasnt going to measure up to the likes of El Temur) yet loyal and fought for justice in her own way. If you're emotionally spent from watching other heavy dramas dont watch it just yet because this is a roller coaster ride and you'll need to buckle up because the political plots and counterplots are exciting and suspenseful and you'll somehow binge watch the show in 3 days! This remains the best kdrama I've ever watched. All the actors including the supporting cast were awesome, HJW, JCW, BJH, KJH salute. And thank you to the writers for imagining Empress Ki to have been a strong female character who didn't just get a crown for no reason but rather fought and strategised her way to the top
