[Drama 2018-2019] Empress Dignity / The Last Empress, 황후의 품격

[fatherjohnaz 244]

I like this drama a lot.  I would like to see Sunny with more power and a more stronger personality.  The emperor seems a little psychotic.  Does he not know he has a child?  I believe Grandma will be murdered protecting Sunny.  I would like Sunny to adopt Princess Ari.

sunny and cjh actually are the ones who framed the emperor. he thought he is the one to frame sunny but turns out sunny and cjh already cut a deal to frame him into believing he is one step ahed lmao.. hahahaha 

 

lol very unlikely to happen but still, it’s fun imagining things hahahah

Ahhh...the twist...possible...nothing is impossible with this writer...I mean, who would expect for episode 7 to happen that way...so yeah, who knows...

I think she will. The girl has to learn from her lessons right (well I hope so) otherwise...Well she has to be strong in both power/influence as well as mentality because the people she is about to butt heads are people in powerful positions (the empress dowager, the empress) and she has to be stronger in the mind to deal with cunning/sly ppl like Yu Ra. 

 

I am still iffy about the emperor character.  I don't truly have a clear understanding of his character. He is psychotic in an immature childish way. He could be drugged when he did the deed with the nanny? But now with so many twists going on, I started having doubt the kid was even his...:D

This is too much!!!! Of course, it would be funnier if Cheon Woo Bin falls for Oh Ssu Ni suddenly.. but Cheon Woo Bin is using Oh Ssu Ni for revenge... Hoo.. The Empress is so pitiful. But still, it's interesting. To enjoy refreshing food properly, you'd have to eat sweet potatoes [t/n: sweet potatoes = frustrating story/plot] in a warm place first before eating at a cooling place. That would be the best. 
 

 

 

Now I understand what those sweet potato comments are  I've been seeing sweet potatoes all over naver comments LOL I agree it's frustrating and painful to watch. At this point, I just want to sit back and just watch because our writer is just gonna burst our bubbles. Can't wait for more WTF!!!, How???, Why??? moments

[yessy 1,918]

hi, is it me only wanna see the Emperor falled for Sunny? Sunny's love should be responsed and he should be in pain when Sunny love for him ended ... 

Anyway dont know why but i found the Emperor is sexy more than WS? hahaha sorry just a personal feeling

You’re welcome @booha but @ktcjdrama did a better job  

The Last Empress has increased its ratings again! It’s the only double digit rating drama on its time slot right now 

12/12/18

The Last Empress: 8.2/11.5%

Children of Nobody 3.9/ 5.2%

Feel Good to Die 2.4%/2.4%

 

God’s Quiz Reboot 2%

Encounter 8.5%

Some articles has stated the above/mentioned ratings. But there are a few has said that the ratings for ep 13 and 14 are 6.8% and 9.1% respectively. Why is there an inconsistency between articles?

Those are TnMS ratings.

But AGB Nielsen is usually the dominant one and being published more

Not so sure..since I can't read Korean nor do I understanding the rating system. I depend on google translate

https://wiki.d-addicts.com/The_Last_Empress/Episode_Ratings

If you look at this site, not sure if it is a reliable source, but so far, the ratings are quite accurate. The TNmS numbers are not that far behind when comparing to the Nielsen numbers. So the % for ep 13 should be around 8 and for ep 14 should be 11, which will be higher than the 6.8 and 9.1?? 

Date	Episode	TNmS (%)	Nielsen Korea (%)
		Nationwide	Nationwide	Seoul
2018-11-21	01	7.4	7.2 (14th)	7.7 (12th)
2018-11-21	02	8.1	7.6 (11th)	8.6 (8th)
2018-11-22	03	8.0	7.6 (13th)	8.6 (9th)
2018-11-22	04	8.5	8.5 (9th)	9.3 (8th)
2018-11-28	05	5.9	5.7 (20th)	5.8 (17th)
2018-11-28	06	7.0	7.9 (10th)	8.4 (9th)
2018-11-29	07	7.2	7.6 (13th)	8.0 (11th)
2018-11-29	08	8.2	9.3 (7th)	9.9 (5th)
2018-12-05	09	6.8	6.1 (18th)	6.8 (13th)
2018-12-05	10	9.2	9.3 (7th)	10.1 (5th)
2018-12-06	11	8.3	7.9 (12th)	8.3 (9th)
2018-12-06	12	10.1	10.5 (6th)	11.5 (3rd)
2018-12-12	13	-	8.2 (10th)	8.6 (10th)
2018-12-12	14	-	11.5 (4th)	12.3 (3rd)

 

 

Ps. I am not questioning you or your numbers. I am just curious as to why the numbers are inconsistent from article to article.

Oh dang...she is getting smarter, knowing how to use the modern technology to her advantage (taking photos with her phone)...you go girl..

I love her calm, firm, and cold tone when she has the talk with the empress dowager.

[nakatsubebe 4,069]

@at2005 It's ok. This has been a recurring question. TnMs and AGB are 2 different companies providing ratings for TV networks and their advertisers (or other clients). It's not just in Korea but I believe in other countries too, they provide same services.

AGB Nielsen usually is more dominant since I see most companies (networks, search engines, news reports) rely on their ratings. tnMS stopped providing Seoul Metropolitan ratings and AGB only has that information right now. Obviously, Seoul is the most important city for ratings since it's their most populated city.

Usually they don't differ with ratings. But sometimes they do because they are different companies with different subscribers anyway.

The 11.5% national rating for TLE is with AGB Nielsen. You can see it in most news reports and even in daum and naver.

[nikki7 1,297]

Omo, in the promo Sunny is all bruised. What happened?!

 

Empress Dowager seem to be warming up to Woo Bin? Why?

 

So many questions 

[at2005 337]

Thanks @nakatsubebe...I work with numbers every day  so it is in me to get curious when numbers are not consistent and don't make sense. 

 

@nikki7 I will use what the empress dowager told Sunny to answer your question: No one is being nice to you for no reason. The one being nice to you is the one one you need to watch out for   

Everyone is manipulating everyone around the palace...gosh, how do they live like that everyday...need to watch your back, no one is truly your friend...

So NWS killed MPJ and used his body to get attention away from him. But wouldn´t the other noticed that he is missing? They wouldn´t just forget about him just like that.

Very good question about the MPJ. I hope the writer didn't expect the audiences to assume both MPJ and WS died in the explosion because that would lead to the question as to why they both were in a car together. Somehow, sometimes, the writer will need to tie up all loose ends.

NWS specifically told MYR on the phone that he dumped MPJ's body into the ocean which is why everyone assumes NWS was the only body in the car. And they found a bullet in the back of MPJ's head so that's another reason for them to believe the dead body was NWS. Was that what you guys were wondering?

Ahhh...he did say that? I totally missed that part either that or my memory is not working well (part of aging)..I will have to go back and watch that episode. Thanks, that makes more sense.

Another question: MPJ, what is his role in the palace? I know he was like a beck and call to the emperor but I didn't quite catch his role in the palace.

He was just someone who worked for LH, someone who cleaned up LH's crimes.

[nakatsubebe 4,069]

@at2005 Ma Pil Joo is the emperor's right hand man. He is part of the imperial guard but he is the emperor's most trusted and usually cleans up his mess after. I guess once Woobin gets the emperor's full trust then he can have Ma Pil Joo's position.

 

I hope the ratings will pass 15%. Choi Jin Hyuk promised on his V live that he will show the whole set when the ratings go up to 15%. They have a nice set, makes me believe there is really a working imperial palace in Korea.
