Cast members from "The Last Empress" series.

The surprising early on success of SBS Wed-Thurs drama An Empress’s Dignity has let to the network ill-advisedly deciding on an extension, coming at a time when it’s ratings have dropped and now been eclipsed by KBS drama What’s Up Poong Sang (Liver or Die).

My Wed-Thurs are currently preoccupied with tvN quiet slow burn romance Encounter (Boyfriend) but even if it wasn’t I don’t think I would still want to watch An Empress’s Dignity.

It’s crazy that Jang Nara looks exactly the same today as when she debuted 16 years ago with Nonstop 2 back in 2002. Her fountain of youth has helped her maintain a very steady acting career, one that even went over to China for a few years in the late 2000s and now back to Korea full time.

I’ve heard good things of Jang Nara‘s last year K-drama Go Back Spouses and it’s one on my marathon when I have a chunk of free time.
