I also really love that the guys wear their hair down a lot more. I love what royalty wears, what the soldiers wear, and what the common man wears. There’s such a wide array of colors and styles. Now I really enjoy the costumes from the Joseon period, but I am in love with the Goryeo attire. I must say, there really needs to be more dramas set during the Goryeo period! I happened to take quite a liking to the Goryeo period not long before starting this drama, and that’s really what gave me the final push to watch it. I mean, I could watch three dramas in that time span! And I love a good sageuk, but they can be hit or miss with me. She also gets involved in a love triangle with the Emperor and King Wang Yu of Goryeo (Joo Jin Mo).Įmpress Ki has been on my watch list forever! It’s one of those dramas that I had only heard positive reviews for, but clocking in at 51 episodes, I was always hesitant to start it.
Empress Ki tells the story of Ki Sung Nyang (Ha Ji Won) who rises from nothing to marry Emperor Ta Hwan (Ji Chang Wook) and become Empress of the Yuan Empire.
