Empress Ki

In the turbulent Goryeo era, Ki Sung Nyang (Ha Ji Won), a woman of extraordinary resilience, navigates a treacherous path from a humble palace maid to the powerful Empress of the Yuan Dynasty. Driven by a fierce desire for revenge against those who wronged her family, she skillfully outmaneuvers political rivals and personal enemies. Her heart, however, is torn between two powerful men: Wang Yoo (Joo Jin Mo), the dethroned Goryeo King who embodies her homeland's spirit, and Ta Hwan (Ji Chang Wook), the young, volatile Yuan Emperor who falls deeply in love with her. As Sung Nyang ascends to unimaginable power, she must make agonizing choices that will shape the fate of two nations and the very definition of her own identity. This drama was inspired by the real-life Empress Ki.
