Waste of potential

A drama about a powerful woman who can kick ass? Love it. This drama? Hated it.

Empress Ki had me singing praises until episode 6. The actions of the characters made no sense, all because the writers were too lazy to write a decent plot. Why couldn't the heroes simply kill the villains within the first 3 episodes? Why let them live and continue to wreak havoc?

This drama simply made no sense, and it was draining to see the protagonists suffer while the antagonists continued to thrive all because the writers were too weak to have them killed off.

I was promised this would be like Yona of the Dawn. If you want a well-written historical fiction narrative with a strong female protagonist, watch/read Yona of the Dawn instead.
