Don't forget Yuan looks down upon Goryeo as being inferior to them.

WOW! Today's episode was simply beautiful! And Ha Ji Won was The Art incarnate. I can definitely say she is the most talented actress in S.Korea right now and watching her act is definitely a priviledge. Empress Ki is definitely the best role Ha Ji Won has ever played until now and it reveals her true value as an actress. I am speechless right now, mesmerized by her beauty and grace. Now the real story begins and we will definitely get to see an empress in the making! So excited to see what happens next!

How does she pass the selection? Don't they have to check if she is a virgin? She also have a scar on her arm that is why she was a water maid before....

@lunatiger14 
i believe that SN& her mother were taken for a concubine rally for the palace.so she was running away and avoiding to be a concubine so she pretended she was a boy.

@stclaus Haha yes finally ! It was great to see TT smile. It took us 24 episodes but we made it Hahaha.I also really like the HJW and Jin Yihan twitter pics.Now i'm impatiently waiting for the subs  TT-SN became my number one ship now HAHA (since i always ship the "not likely to happen" relationship). But romance aside, both of them will put the palace upside down with their crafty tricks and their intelligencce (SN probably already understood that it's better to have TT on her side).  Epic duo on the way !! We better be prepared for some political schemes and manipulation coming from everywhere.

I see many of you wondering about ED's hair... This is just my opinion, based on the few sageuk dramas i watched and some little stuf i read about : I think ED had to cut her hair short before going to the temple. During the lapse of time (4 months and some more), it grew just a little. But i know that royals often used "fake hair" (some hair extension) to have a prominent hairstyle. I did see it in numerous sageuk dramas. So i guess that what happened with Empress Dowager. If you look at the previous episodes (before episode 21), and compare the two hair do, you will notice it is slightly different. They probably tried to make it seem as if she has "less" hair (??)
Well... i just did my best to make it seem as rational as possible. 
:-? :-\"

@ChelseaS :I've always had a soft spot for BA and I adore the team he forms with TTI feel like he's not a bad person deep down but he's probably a little bit too ambitious and that's what will cause his doom especially that he's not the brightest bulb out there, one wrong step and he's done for. all this time, it's been TT who kept him on track, if BA's greed gets the better out of him to the point he won't listen to TT, it'll be his end
@yvonne11 : I guess it's part of those details that are brought up when they're useful to the plot then get overlooked on purpose when they're inconvenient

lol i never had a problem like this in my drama history...
i really like SN with TH but i can also accept her with TT,WY.....
since there are so many ships in this drama.... dont be surprised if i jump from 1 to another and comes back.....
and currently i am boarding SN-TH...if they continue to show more of TT... I might jump there..
:x

I think They could have made WY's wife prettier. Dang, she ain't cute. She looks like ET and BS put together. Will she be jealous of WY's and SN lost love.

@ohoheli Thanks for the pics. Guys, thanks for the recaps.

SN looks exceptional in her white. She died beautifully and TalTal resurrected her. Now, here comes the angel of death/revenge.

I haven't watch the eps as yet, but the rate it's going I feel like I am going through a drive thru and not for a happy meal.

One minute SN is in prison next she is in a concubine line. One minute WY is crying next he is getting married. Wooow! Betsy, slow down. Can I just mourn the death of the old SN and WY for a second!

If Dankisi kept the letters from SN that means he wanted her to believe that WY doesn't care about her. Now that she heard WY is getting married could this ring true for her? Will she feels like WY wanting to becoming king of Goryeo is more important than their love?

Can't wait for subs !!

I am thinking Tal Tal and BA found a way for her. I think she might not even do any of the selection process and they just put her name. Since Tal Tal and BA knows the relationship/feeling of TH to SN, they know that her passing or getting selected would be easy. and if they really want TH to pick, they know he'll pick the person that he knows which is SN :) \m/ \m/

More on screen time for Tal Tal. For the shippers. * removed no EK link *
Also more on screen time for YSB. Is Batalo good or bad? If she is bad, hope she teams up with YSB.

[wolanah]

She even named her baby byul?? if that is not a proof that Kim So Hyun is the father then i'm the Pope :D

@missed123 : second that why did they cast this actress, i mean even Batolu is better than her, she's more charismatic, but then i think that the writers will not shoot many scenes with her like what they did with WY's father so they just cast some common actress

But why did they bother make Batolu reappearing if not for WY???

[yvonne11]

This is truly hjw best role yet no wonder she signed up for this project. No one else can pull off being a warrior and turn around be an empress, with all the horse riding shooting arrows and yet be so feminine... I watch this show for hjw!!!

WHAT IS THE PD DOING??????? Does it make sense that WY gets marry this fast just because he heard news that SN is dead (has it been months or a year had passed already..since there's no sub I don't really know how long it has been) ....but come on now.....you should not give up unless you see the body. I could understand why SN went and seek for revenge by herself. she probably did not what WY to get hurt or be involved. As someone had posted earlier, the PD probably set the marriage thing for WY so SN can't turn back but everything just happened in 2 eps...

PD rushed for SN and WY to sleep together
Rushed with SN pregnancy and labor
Rushed this revenge plot....and rushed WY marriage

why is the PD rushing for all these events all at once...we are only halfway into the drama.

I am so disappointed with the PD..... I will give it another 2 weeks and see where this drama takes the viewers...I would hate to drop a HJW drama due to the sloppy work of this PD.  :-< :-< :-<
