This drama was definitely different from the common plots k-drama usually depicts in their shows. In the beginning I loved how the show was going at such a such a slow and comfortable pace, even though others had made up their mind that the show was going to be boring. Boy, they were wrong!

This show made me laugh so much that my stomach hurt. As much as it made me laugh, I also cried my eyes out. I didn't cry my eyes out for petty reasons, like boy hurts girl and girl leaves boy, but because the psychological genre was properly executed in this drama. Also the actors had played their role so well that there was never a dull moment. Also the soundtrack was one of the best I have heard that I can't wait to download it all. Just because it has melodrama incorporated don't expect a tragedy, it had a beautiful ending. I truly recommend this drama for all to watch because it is a incredibly meaningful and beautiful drama to watch.

Wow, after two years of this drama being on my plan to watch list, I finally watched it. It took so long because I was too lazy to find a place to watch it. I loved this drama so much because it was so fun, hilarious and addicting. I can honestly say I never got bored watching it because it didn't drag at all and it was so unpredictable that my eyes were glued to the screen. The plot was very unique because it wasn't a cliche romance drama, a revenge or something that made me want to rip my hair out of my scalp.

The love in this drama between each of the characters especially my baby Ha Seon was so sincere that I never got tired of the situation life threw at each of them. The best thing about this drama was it made me laugh or warmed my heart through each episode. The chemistry was there for each of the characters even though the show was not like your regular romcom because it didn't focus on sexual desire but pure love. Also the male actors were so handsome that I wish I was Eugene throughout the show. I definetly recommended it for all to watch.

This was really beautiful. My heart feels really warm and giddy right now. I am so happy I finally completed this drama. There's people that keeps comparing this drama to Reply 1997, yes they have a similar theme, but they are not similar at all. I loved loved Reply 1997 and I also really love Reply 1994.

One thing I especially love about Reply 1994 compared to Reply 1997 is there is way more romance in reply 1994 than reply 1997

I really loved the diversity in each character and the difference in their dialects. Also I loved how they brought the parents from Reply 1997. Also if anybody is thinking of watching Reply 1997, watch it first because they appeared as guest role in Reply 1994.

This just gave me a heap load of emotions right now. All I can say is WOW! I loved the way the writer wrote the script for the last episode. Just Wow. I feel like I just ended a relationship that spiralled a lot of anger and happiness out of me. I applaud the whole cast and production of this drama. This drama was great,9, but it was not a masterpiece. Why? It was not a new plot and ohhhhhhh my gosh I wanted to chop one of the characters head off. It's a good thing because it showed that he played and embodied his role of being an immoral dirty bastard. Overall, each and every actor, form the main to the side characters did a good job portraying their characters. Also don't go in thinking it's a complete melo, there were some parts that made me laugh my ass off. I really enjoyed this drama and recommend it.

I love love this drama. I thought it was going to seem so long, that i would have to drop it but it wasn't like that. Each episode just kept getting interesting and funnier. I loved how each characters developed and matured. The end, Omg god bless Korea it was just so beautiful. I loved every moment of it even though some characters annoyed the hell out of me, but that just shows great acting. The way the plot/events developed were so believable, that it didn't seem like i was still watching a drama. I applaud this drama, the cast, the writer and the director. Thank u so much for making such a remarkable show. This was tabek:)

This drama is sincerely beautiful. Yes, it was a very long journey, 50 episode this is the longest drama i have ever completed. It was really good. Let's break it down:

First of all, family dramas are meant to be very annoying and meaningful, but whose family isn't annoying. I love this drama so much.

Actors/Acting: A perfect 10
-Wow this the first time i ever fell in a love with a Korean mother in law, why? It's because Korean mother are played to be really evil in most dramas. Ujae's mom was the best. She always made me laugh, she was really warm even though she got angry at some parts. I really liked her.

-No one could have played Seoyoung better than Lee Bo young. I knew she was an okay actor, but she embodied her role so much that I actually hated her for it. She really did some genius acting in this show.

-Ujae (Lee Sang Yoon) was not only flipping sexy, but he was such an amazing actor. I loved him throughout the whole show. I really want to marry someone like him when I am older.

-The rest of the cast was perfect, funny and loveable. The twin brother (Park HAE JIN) he was amazing.

The story: Without, the cast I think I would have dropped this show. The one thing i hate are secrets and misunderstandings and this was the story frequent theme. Nevertheless, this show was so addicting because it was so interesting, so I couldn't even drop it. The writer and director were brilliant because they made everything make perfect sense.

I just finished this drama but I didn't feel wowed because it just feels like this drama did the bare minimum in exploring such a disturbing concept of being in a cult. This drama took the easy route and focused on Sang-mi being forced into the cult and her journey of escaping the cult and while she did an amazing job throughout the drama, it wasn't that original of a story. Ms. Kang who chose to join the "cult" because she obviously didn't believe it was a cult, story arch could have easily been a more interesting and an original arch for a drama because her character just had so much potential but it was superficially explored. The drama was very predictable and cliche despite it treading a new storyline like religious cults. Also, I expected some vein-popping thriller, but it was chill even though the eerie feeling of such situation remained. While the psychosis of the members was portrayed very well, especially through Sang Mi's father, the cult leader's character was really half empty for such an important character.

While this drama did not meet my expectations, I am happy I watched it because I found some new amazing actors (Seo Ye Ji and Woo Do Hwan) that I am excited to watch in other films. Also, guys don't expect a romance trope in this drama, it doesn't need one and it's better without one. The bromance was cool and while everyone fav may be Dong Chol, I just really had a soft spot for Man Hee, even though he wasn't the leader of the group, he was so kind and mature in a hidden way. My other fav, was Joon Go, the gangster or the "dog" even though he doesn't have that many lines, every time he spoke, he left you wanting to know more about him.

I don't think I have ever commented on a drama as much as I did for Empress Ki. I laughed, cried, screamed, giggled and felt some emotions I can't quiet put into words. I felt like I gained a new family which are the cast members and commenters of this show.

The story: 9; Two minutes into the show, I turned it off because I hated that a future scene was shown in the beginning. I was sort of being petty, so I continued watching it because the cast and synopsis was eye catching. While watching this show there were moments my heart melted and my vein almost popped. Even with a future scene in the beginning, this show was really unpredictable that I hated myself for watching it while it was airing. Usually in historically dramas there are scenes that will put you to sleep, but for this one you can't help but stay alert while watching it. The plot wasn't scattered or slow, but it was beautifully woven into a work of art.

Suspense: The background music for this show especially El Temur "theme" song had me shaking. There were times that I didn't stop shaking because I was too hooked on an episode.

Action: epic, sexy, cool and fast

Romance: this is what I like to call a girl had the best of triple worlds. Wang yu (ultimate fan), Tal Tal (the new love of my life) and Te hwan( a cute/obsessive devoted lover) Her chemistry with so so and so was too sexy and another unexpected so so and so was all I could fantasize about for some time. Best of all I loved her love when she felt love even though it felt forced/ weak in the beginning.

Cast: The entire cast was amazing. I loved everyone and actually missed the actors that played the villains because they were so great. I give a standing ovation to all of them. My ultimate bias was Nyang played by Ha ji won. No one could have played a better Empress ki. She was intelligent, a fighter, cold hearted, sexy, and she never failed me. Te hwan got on my nerves, but he's character was meant to be portrayed like that because of his upbringing. Wang yu and Tal Tal were too cool and sexy.

Negatives: Time, like how many months or years passed in certain instances, it played a lot with my emotions because some character were too fucked up (actually a positive b/c it kept me watching) or annoying.

Overall: 10; My love for historically dramas heightened because of this drama. Although it was a fictional account of Empress Ki life, I have never watched a historical drama that I wished was real, so my actors would never stop acting.

This drama was so much fun to watch. Despite this drama being categorize as a melodrama, it made me laugh so much. It started off slow, not that it was boring, but anyways the slowness didn't last for very long. It quickly picked up from ep 3 and continued all the way to the end. This drama was very addictive and eye catching because it was just very unique with the characters and fantasy included in it. The plot, the little twists, the actors and the music was superb.

Honest truth I didn't think I was going to cry in this drama because even though death is a depressing thing it's a natural thing. I finished this drama with tears rolling down my face and snot hanging off my nose because I thought it was so perfect how every thing connected into one. It is a drama I recommend to everyone. I had this drama on my plan to watch list for 3 years and finished it in only 3 days. It's definitely worth watching it.

I'll start off my review by saying Ji Sung deserves best male actor of 2015 because his acting was so powerful that it was no longer just a show for me, but that somewhere far away someone was actually going through this. You could see how versatile his acting skills was because he brilliantly pulled off all his personalities. He did such a fabulous job because I was able to form a connection with him as an audience, BTW Ah Yo na was my favorite personality!

This drama was something I had never watched before because of its portray of the DID sickness which was both brilliantly and creatively done. Yes, the family drama and the traumatic childhood was not so different from other korean plots, but the way everything connected to explain the powerful love the main leads naturally played out was amazing!

I had so much fun watching this drama because of the different personalities and the crazy bipolar main actress. Yes, her screams and crying were annoying, and especially her yelling mad me want to slap her. However, it was understandable and you eventually get used to it because it was obviously meant so her character could play the moody bipolar character she was meant to be. I loved her so much, because within all her flaws, she makes you love her, as much as you love the main lead whom you are predestined to fall in love with. The other characters were also amazing because they played their roles so well. My favorite were Oh Rin on and the secretary. The only flaw this drama had were the damn flashback which was of course essential to the show, but I swear there was two or more that were repeated so much that the audience had seen it like a hundred times.

Last, but not least the soundtrack was perfect. There was one which was often repeated that made want to cry. I wish I knew its name. Drama was definitely a 10 for me and I definitely recommend it.

From the very beginning I was hooked, it was like i was possessed ok ok maybe not possessed, but very excited to watch the next episode. The acting was superb from when they were kids to when they grew up. The entire cast was just excellent. The plot was so unique and genius that the story line was not boring. Although I shed a few tears, there was characters that kept me laughing. The action was so real that it kept me at the edge of my sit. One thing that made this drama was that there was some sexy ass actors. Omg omg the end was awesome, fabulous, spectacular, breathtaking and most definitely beautiful. Everybody sorry that my commenting is way to long but this drama is worth it and I recommended it for everyone. I love love love this drama. It was DAEBAK aka AWESOME.

Awesome. I loved all the twist and turns of this dramas, i was at the edge of my seat. There was never a dull moment and it was unpredictable, so it was very funny. No it was hilarious. Also there was romance in the drama. This was like the best cast ever, superb acting.

In this drama there were like 5 major "wars" that kept the story going. By wars i mean major events, so this drama was not only about what happened 3 months back. All the characters changed especially my fiery haired goddess, the main girl, who matured a lot b/c at first I hated but I absolutely love her. I wish I can cuss in 3 different languages, it so funny. Omg remembering everything, makes me want to watch it over. Everybody needs to watch this drama so you can understand what I'm talking about. I love it so much:)
