[News] Ha Ji Won Is An Elegant Royal For “Empress Qi” Stills And Posters

"Empress Qi" Ha Ji-won and Joo Jin-mo

Ha Ji-won and Joo Jin-mo displayed a heart-thumping back hug.

On the first episode of the new MBC drama "Empress Qi", Wang Yu (Joo Jin-mo), the prince of Koryeo visited Simyang where Wang Go (Lee Jae-yong-I) was in control of to investigate salt smuggling.

Before he left, he heard of the great arrow-shooter, Ki Seung-nyang (Ha Ji-won) and asked for her a challenge. She accepted and betted shots of alcohol for every arrow shot.

Seung-nyang was outstanding but was drunk and became sick on Wang Yu's chest before passing out. She was put to sleep in Wang Yu's bed and came around at the sound of his musical playing.

He tried to teach her how to play the keomungo, saying it was the best when it comes to seducing women. He held her from the back as he helped her to hold it.

Seung-nyang felt nervous as Wang Yu's arms wrapped around her shoulders.

[tessieroo]

Who's ready for episode 2? I'm so excited. She meets Emperor Huizong today, right?

[cherkell]

*drumroll*  It's 5:00 AM in NorCal, and here's the Spoiler Post for Episode Two!  The Emperor makes his grand appearance, and I will be TOTALLY WIDE AWAKE when that happens -- right now, not so much.  See youse on the other side!

The usual opening, and now the gazillion commercials to tease us before starting. *argh*  Does give me a chance to grab another cup of coffee, so there's something good to be said about them...

Here we go!

Back at the Rebel Rice-Stealing Camp, where Ki is tied up and getting an earful from Yoo.  Yoo's minions have tied up the rest of her gang as well, as Yoo brandishes his sword and threatens to kill Ki until one of the slaves offers to trade places with her.  Ki is taken away to jail.

King Go hears about Yoo breaking up the Rice-Stealing plot, and ain't a happy camper over it.

Ki all tied up in jail and she loses her headband.  That hand that picks it up belongs to that one guy that hangs around with Cheol-ui, as Ki thinks to herself where has she seen him before and puts back the pocket knife she was planning on using to set herself free.

Ki is brought before Yoo to explain and/or rat on her fellow Rice Stealers.  He's grilling her, not knowing that he's his Ki chingu, until she pulls up her headband to reveal that she's the one and the same.  She fake-stabs Yoo as part of her plot to be sent back to jail... which works.

Back to King Go's chambers, where he orders his lackeys out to do some dirty work.

Ki back in jail, where a shadowy figure sneaks up behind her... and does nothing.  (I don't recognize the face yet.)

Ki is brought out in front of Yoo to explain her actons.  Apparently that shadowy guy is working both sides of the fence, but it turns out Yoo's taking Ki back to the palace spares the rest of the Rice Stealers.  Shadowy guy attempts to send off a carrier dove to alert his people, and it's immediately shot down from the air... BY KI.  All this was a situation to rat out the mole and show Yoo that Ki is on his side.

Shadowy Guy is struck down dead for his tratorious actions, and the note is taken from the dove.  Ki is released from their control.

Later that evening, the followers of King Go are out on a mission when they come under arrow fire by enemy soldiers (are these the Yuan?).

Ki heads off on her horse (in slow-mo, no less) and returns post-haste to the palace, running into King Go and advising him of the Yuan invasion/battle.  King Go is still not a happy camper over it, and beats cheeks back to him room to bring out a parcel and gives it to Ki.  Instead, Ki drops to her knees and agrees to deliver the package.

King Go threatens his two lackeys to prepare for battle.  Ki returns to the Masan Gate with the package (contains a bunch of scholar writing books -- or maybe next week's scripts?) and gives it to the eunuch that helped Ki return to the palace.

King Go enters the other King's chambers (his father?) to alert him to the Yuan Plot.  And then we morph into the battle we've seen in several of the previews.  Yoo ain't too bad with the sword himself and cuts down several Yuan attackers.

Back at the palace, where the current king is being advised by his cabinet ministers to cease his anger against the Yuan and play nice with them (like King Go wants).  He is about to refuse when Yoo arrives and announces that he's taken care of the Yuan rebels, and fingers King Go as the traitor who started the whole shootin' match.  That's not going well until the eunuch arrives with the books Go gave Ki outlining the plans for a Goryeo-Yuan alliance.

Big King asks Go if it's true, and he admits it.  Go pretty much has the backing of several cabinet members to try and change to Big King's mind... but instead, Big King tells everyone Yoo is the Crown Prince under wraps and everyone behave now because he's abdicating and making Yoo king instead.

Yay!  Our Villain is here, and he captures Ki yet again to be taken out and beaten along with the rest of the rebel faction.  Somehow she is released as another batch of runaway slaves are brought to the prison by Villain.

Back at the Rebel Camp, the boy who took the heat for Ki tries to apologize for his actions.  But before he's taken out, he passes to her a name tag and purse that contains papers and a ring that matches exactly the one she wears around her neck that belonged to her father.  Mom told Ki as she was dying that her father is still alive and out there somewhere, and that she will know him by matching up that ring.

Ki and a rag-tag bunch of boys are put through guard training at the palace, and she smokes the lot of them with her archery and sword skills.  She must have made the cut, as she's issued the official Goryeo Guard Metal Hat for her service.

Go is having a banquet when Yoo (officially walking around as King Yoo now) makes his entrance.  Go tries to suck up to him, to no avail.  The eunuch reads from a scroll saying that Go and his supporters will be banished, and then reads from a bunch of scrolls detailing each and every cabinet member's misdeeds.  And if they don't leave the palace now, here's some swords at your throats that will make you change your minds.

The Queen Dowager seems to be in cahoots with Go and has her own plans to remove Yoo from the throne.  Much maniacal laughing ensues.  Yoo is told of more plots by his supporters while Ki waits in the foyer.

NOW we're in Yuan!  The Emperor there is making his own plans for overthrow of Goryeo with Cheol-ui and his assistant.

Horses and more horses, as the guards meet up with a caravan on its way to the palace.

THERE'S MY PRECIOUS!!!!  Ta Hwan is being brought under wraps to Goryeo in exile.  He is shaking like a leaf!

Head of the Yuan Guards meets with Tal-tal and they are both told by Ta Hwan that he is ill and they cannot proceed further.  They camp there for the night.

(MBC lagging big time now.  Please bear with me.)

Ta Hwan's eunuch squirrels out his chamber pot and is met by Ki.  The head of Ta's party explains to Ta that he's going to exile instead, which makes Ta teary.

More fighting between Yoo and Go in the royal court.  Yoo dismisses Go and he prepares for a fight with the Yuan.  Go and the Queen Dowager plot more evildoings over tea and cookies.

Yoo decides himself to go visit Ta Hwan's encampment but Ta Hwan would rather sleep than leave his tent.  After Tal-Tal and head guard leave, he orders his eunuch to find out the scoop because he thinks there's a plot to kill Ta Hwan.

Ah, the old bait-and-switch, as Ta Hwan dresses in the eunuch's clothes and the eunuch in his.  Seeing familiar faces, Ta Hwan tries to disappear into a tent and hides.  Ki enters the tent which happens to be her living quarters and she starts washing up.  Ta Hwan sees this from behind the curtains and can barely contain a squeal before Ki has a sword at his throat.  Asking who is he, Ta Hwan stammers... well... and that's where we end Episode 2!!!

Preview:  Yoo heads out to meet the Yuan contingency.  More evil plotting.  More shots of the battle shown in the preview. Ki bringing Ta Hwan back to his quarters by his ear, and when he protests, he gets it face-first into the slop bog.  (Sorry, the rest I didn't get.)
