(04.05.2014) MBC Section TV Empress Ki Special

There are 2 MBC video cuts I have. One is about Empress Ki in general and one is Ha Ji Won’s interview.

 

A Brief Summary of Empress Ki 

The first one here is a summary of drama “Empress Ki” or as the narrator said “Empress Ki Last Goodbye”. The video explains a lot of things below:

1. Empress Ki’s death row - whereas almost all characters get killed. Wang Yoo, Ta Hwan, Empress Dowager, Lord Zhang, Golta

2. Supporting characters

3. Love triangle among Wang Yoo – Seung Nyang – Ta Hwan

4. Three best lines in the drama:

3rd place: SN to TH: "The power of the emperor does not come from the nobles, but from the people"

2nd place: Tal Tal to SN: "Betrayal is not caused by man, but by time"

1st place: TH to SN: "When I first broke out of my shell, you were my mother bird!"

         

5. Empress Ki’s men: Wang Yoo, Ta Hwan, Tal Tal

6. Empress Ki BTS

Ha Ji Won Interview - rough translation (Kor-Chi) credit EK Baidu

I only get translations for related to Empress Ki drama.

Ha Ji Won is photographed then she moved to interview. She introduced herself.

The MC says Tahwan's gets jealous really easily, and wonders if he'll ever be able to interview him after what happened (referring to the MC positioning himself as a 'choice' for HJW).

HJW: Don't worry. I can take him down easily with just one hand [on his neck].

HJW mentions JJM's skills at imitating other people's voices, and his skill at always being able to make the atmosphere on set more lively. 

The MC then asks HJW about the three men in "Empress Ki" - 

HJW: I would like someone who is funny, has a great sense of humour and is sexy.

MC: Aren't I the perfect one then? *takes off sweater*

HJW: I like tall people (thus rejecting the MC). 

Side note: JYH and JCW's heights are listed as 1.80, according to Naver/Nate, JJM's unlisted but assumed to be 1.80 by most sites.

MC: When we talk about memorable pairings, Hyun Bin from the hugely popular Secret Garden is someone that must be mentioned.

HJW: At the time, my collaboration with HB was the best. Now, my collaboration with Ji Changwook-sshi and Joo Jinmo sunbae are the best.
