It exquisitely presents an epic tale of ancient figures during the 1300s involving the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, the King of Korea, and a woman disguising as a man who will eventually hold immense influence in the country.

“Empress Ki” even won the Golden Bird Prize for the Serial Drama Category in the 2014 Seoul International Drama Awards because of its poignant storyline, heroic battle scenes, dramatic visual effects, and brilliant performances of the cast, proving how phenomenal this historical drama series is.

The story revolves around the life of Seung Nyang (Ha Ji Won), a woman who was raised as a boy to avoid being taken as one of the tribute women to the Yuan Empire. She will later ascend to power and become an empress of the Yuan Dynasty despite the restrictions of the era’s class system after marrying the dashing Emperor Huizong (Ji Chang Wook).

Conflict arises when the valiant King Wang Yu (Joo Min Mo), the worst enemy of Emperor Huizong, falls in love with Empress Ki and will do everything to steal her heart from the emperor.
