Dammit, I LOVE #BaeDoona, but Gloria is only available on THAT network! I made it through Dong Yi, giving it 3.5/10, even though I usually really like the ML from that one. One of the only super-long shows I really liked was #EmpressKi, which was amazing! #SixFlyingDragons was also worth the 50 episodes to watch. There's such an enormous body of work in #kdrama that it's hard for me to imagine getting bored with it. -
I know I should study instead of watching a #kdrama but #FirstLady is like a modern #EmpressKi with political plot twists intricated in sub plot twists.
We don't who's the villain.Why do k-dramas have to be so good? 😩

I've had to learn the hard way that the long series that people rave about are generally loved mainly by folks who love long series. I'm not that person. However, there are a few that I felt were worth the time commitment.

Since I only have Kocowa until Friday, I decided to jump episodes, from 24-50! It's like the old soap operas I watched. Nothing was lost, other than the Crown Prince is finally the King. I can't fast-forward, so I manually moved ahead through all of the scenes containing side characters. I don't care about them. The majority are being directed to act like idiots. Very little of substance has occurred in the missing episodes.
BTW, one series that was worth every single episode is #EmpressKi. It's super engaging all of the way through.

Fabulous!! I recently watched the predictable and less-than-stellar The Time We Were Not In Love, just to see her acting again. It was no #EmpressKi

Sadly, #EmpressKi has been suddenly dropped from North American Viki. It's a fabulous show! My complaint about many of the older sageuks is that far too much time is spent shouting "Majesty", or walking around pacae grounds. Empress Ki has none of that nonsense. Both of the leads are amazing, as are the costumes.

A question for #kdrama folks on here.. does anyone have a list of historical dramas that are vaguely based on real people and events in the correct chronological order. I really want to watch #TreeWithDeepRoots but feel I probably ought to watch some earlier ones first. Think someone mentioned #SixFlyingDragons but not sure how true some others are like #EmpressKi or #RedSleeve - thanks in advance 🙂

@hanktank61 @AnnaAnthro
I was perfectly fine with the 51 episodes of #EmpressKi because there was really no filler. Each episode portrayed a gripping story, and one wanted to see what was next. Not to mention the gorgeous wardrobe that was a feast for the eyes. Both the Jewel In shows, Jewel in the Palace and Jewel in the Crown, had endless scenes of characters shouting Majesty, and various people walking across the palace grounds. They were interesting stories that I was happy to learn about, but it was stressful for me to watch so many unnecessary scenes in order to learn them.

Oh, I definitely don't have the stamina for that! #EmpressKi was the only long historical drama that I'm glad that I watched. Jewel in the Palace #DaeJangGeum and #jewelinthepalace #DongYi made me feel like ripping my eyes out after the first few shouts of "Majesty!".

#day24 Favorite costumes of 2024
My favourite costumes that I saw in 2024 were absolutely in #EmpressKi where I'm told that the costumes were more than half the budget. They were utterly amazing, so colourful and so sparkly! The wardrobe crew must have busy nonstop on that set.
I also loved the costumes in #MyDemon, including Song Kang's fluffy clavicle-bearing sweaters and her sword-dance hanboks.
H/T to hand-knit sweaters in many shows like Virtuous Business. -

#day20 A drama that made you sad or cry
Mr Plankton and Queen of Tears were certainly weepy shows for me. However, the one that I recall really making me cry at the start of the year was #MyDearest Fabulous characters continually separated by tragic times.
And then there was #EmpressKi! -

Dag 11: A 2024 drama that kept you riveted.
The drama that kept my riveted IN 2024 was #EmpressKi with #HaJiWon and #JiChangWook. I never would have guessed that a 51-episode historical drama could capture my attention throughout but it did.
The new dramas that kept me going were #MrPlankton, as previously mentioned, and I loved the journey in #QueenOfTears with a wide range of characters and locations as well as amazing acting by #KimJiWon and #KimSooHyun

@EllenInEdmonton It left a strong impression on me because I don't typically like historical #kdrama
It's one of a kind, I must say!

@RomanticIsa it's a must watch! One of the screenwriters is Jang Young-chul, who wrote #Vagabond too.
Like in Vagabond, the plot is thrilling. Not a single episode is boring. It gets a bit too unrealistic at some point though. I forgive that for the sake of its length 😂.
And the costumes are marvelous too. I'm not that much into hanboks but in this case the costumes really make an impression! The maid ones are my favorite 😍. -

#Day9 A drama from another year you watched in 2024.
There are many, but the sake of brevity imposed by the character limit in the Fedi instance I use I will mention only the one who got me out of my comfort zone: #EmpressKi (2013-2014)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_Ki_(TV_series)
I typically end up dropping historical dramas, but this one is a wonderful exception. Action, romance and fights for power topped with great acting and screenwriting.
51 episodes of pure entertainment!

Oh, and I'm glad to see that you've resumed #EmpressKi. I think you're at the point where it's particularly hard to stop watching! -

The wardrobe alone is so much more than next level!! It's stunning. I believe that @hanktank61 said that it was more than half the show's budget.

#EmpressKi is indeed amazing! SUCH a strong FL and vulnerable #JiChangWook is fabulous.
#TheKingEternalMonarch has a badass FL and #LeeMinHo is luscious. So much comedy and intrigue in the show as well with parallel universes. -

@commonst #JiChangWook is terrific and I’m assuming that you’ve seen him in #Healer. If you haven’t yet seen it, #EmpressKi is a master work, well worth the 51 episodes of watching time. The costumes are even more phenomenal than his amazing acting. #kdrama

CW: re: Spoiler Empress Ki
Also the child is dead and there's no proof that she was the mother. They could have just denied any accusation, the excuse that she would be killed isn't a solid one.

@EllenInEdmonton excellent screenwriting and acting.
However it's absurd that people don't die until they say a final line, or that one part always has to provide proof whenever a truth is revealed, while the other is just believed.
Also why did Maha/Byul (and that childbirth events are just so unreal 😁) survived for 10 years just to be killed again? I was expecting a future hero, but I suppose they corrected the plot to be more historically accurate.
