At Ha Ji Won's strategy in "Empress Ki" Lim Joo Eun and Kim Young Ho suffered a tragic death.
On the episode of MBC Monday/Tuesday drama "Empress Ki" broadcast on April 21st, Ki Seung Nyang (played by Ha Ji Won) put to death Bayan Hotook (played by Lim Joo Eun) and Dae Seung Sang (played by Kim Young Ho) who she had been in conflict with one by one.
Ki Seung Nyang hears that the son that she had with Wang Yu (played by joo Jin Mo), who is Maha (played by Kim Jin Sung) had died and was in shock. At this, the Bayan Hotook was killed and he wanted to comfort the soul of her dead son. Bayan said to Park Bool Wha (played by Choi Moo Sung) who received an order from Ki SeungNyang cried in horror but Park Bool Wha had poison by force. Bayan threw up the poison and faced death in the pain and Ki Seung Nyang said, "You wench's sin is not enough to settle with death."
The next person in line after Ba Yan was Dae Seung Sang Baek Ahn. At the moment of death, he had been betrayed by his nephew Tal Tal (played by Jin Yi Han).
However, this was also the strategy of Ki Seung Nyang. Dae Sung Sang who saw Ta Whan alive ended up kneeling and Ta Whan was devastated by Ki Seun Nyang's words that said, "Da Seung Sang tried to kill me." Ta Whan said to Dae Seung Sang and Empress Ki , "My seat was lonely. However, the two people were there so I was not lonely. Either both will leave or both should stay, you choose."
In front of Ta Whan, Dae Seung Nyang said that he would keep Ki Seung Nyang and the Crown Prince but in front of Tal Tal he was upset saying, "I vowed loyalty to the poor girl who was dragged here as a court maid." Ki Seung Nyang also didn't believe Dae Seung Sang who said he would keep her.
In the end, the two people made a plan to kill each other and at the same time, they asked for help saying, "Please make a secret place for the two to meet." The two people met each other and there was tension. Tal Tal held Ki Seung Nyang's hand.
Dae Seung Sang who was hurt by the military troops of Seung Nyang called for Tal Tal desperately outside but Tal Tal who opened the door and came in put a knife into Dae Seung Sang's body. Dae Seung Sang said, "When I kill Ki Seung Nyang and suffer, please lead this country." They had shown strong faith towards nephew Tal Tal.
Tal Tal listed the reasons of betrayal and was tormented saying, "I couldn't just stay and watch uncle who was filled with greed and jealousy. It's an ideology that cannot see public sentiments. This is the sight of being captured in power."
Lim Joo Eun and Ha Ji Won who had the last episodes to look forward to ended the episode with conflict and left a strong impression on the viewers.
Especially as Kim Young Ho had transformed from a loyal general in the beginning of the drama to Da Seung Sang who was filled will greed showing various character. He showed a charisma facing Ha Ji Won, exuding a strong charisma.
