BRIEF INFO:
The stereotypical view of womanhood on screen is changing.
Different from the past which used to show the passive and modest nature of female, recent dramas illustrate women with grand authority and active spirit. However, most of the historical dramas are still presenting the submissive images of female; woman as a subordinate who gives birth to children to carry on the family lineage, or a political tactician who takes part in conspiracies and causes internal wars in the palace.
Now we are talking about the empress who is incompatible from the previously known images of female in history. ‘The Iron Empress’ is the granddaughter of Wang Gun, the first emperor of Goryeo. She has inherited her grandfather´s vision as well as his Great Spirit. The empress fights against the enemies trying to collapse Goryeo, and called as ‘The Iron Empress’ who gets rid of her brother, son, and even her lover, for the good of the empire. During the Goryeo period, women had the firm statue and their power was high as that of men. Introducing the legendary heroine, ‘The Iron Empress’ would bring hopes and dreams to the women living in this era.

Thanks for EP: 68-72. Six more episod to go. You guys are the best and only because of you all, I am able to watch Korean Drama. Keep up your kindness effort. God bless you all
thanx a million, you really have been busy and it is much appreciated
Cool two new subs! Thank you team!
Ahh! I just knew you would pull this off! Six more and its back to cop shows and luvy dovie opereta’s. I will feel like I have lost my family.
Some would say why do you like those ridiculous costume drama and I just think…Now that we have the whole world in pin stripe button downs, concrete and Kia’s and ah, Levi’s. I then say well done.
To all the Emperors and mostly the Empress’s that put this story together on the back burner. This has been a very good series. Thank you
Tai

Thanks for your subs. My sister and I would be lost if it were not for them. Your hard work is most appreciated!
Thanks very much for your hard work !

Empresss is way better than Seon Duk. I believe Chun Chu will be one of the classics. Big Thanks for hitting 3 in a row!
@kevin, It’s the 4th one in the list…
Make sure you get the whole thing because it’s split on two lines…
lütfen yooooooooooooooooayin
Thank you for working hard to sub this drama so we could enjoy such a great historical show of Korea. i love the politics in this series…Will be waiting for the rest of the subs.
Thank You from Palau….
Hi, thanks…fyi Ep66 srt is actually saying Ep65 when I play it.
S2 Crew
Thank you, Thank you
You guys are the best.
Isn’t it funny though with these fab subtitles, enjoying these beautifully shot episodes wouldn’t be 100% without the audio. I don’t understand any Korean, though I love the Mee-ka and the Mir-ee-oh.
It is fantastic.
My wife, who grew up in Japan, says that if you have a Korean friend, then you have a friend for life!
Look how far you’ve come S2. mucho, mucho arigato!
Taisho
Oh yes ep67-68 subs are here! Many thanks to wonderful team!
Thanks for the great work, without the subtitles it would be a bear to watch!
Yeah more subs. Thank you so much for ep66 subs!!
Almost there! I’m still thinking if I should watch this series because of its length (70+ episodes). I appreciate your subbing this series. Thank you WITHS2, melica, aylink, mily2 and the rest of the team.
Edit: I’m gonna watch this. I’m dissapointed with Queen Seon Deok!
@BlomkÃ¥lssoppa, don’t know what browser or platform you’re on, but right-clicking on the Episode sub link should work to save the srt in most browsers. Otherwise, you can try just a normal click. It will either try to download the file (in which case just make sure the name ends in .srt) OR it will display the .srt in the browser. If it displays in your browser, then just do a Save As from the Page or File menu.
Oh yes ep65 subs. Thank you so much!!
Thx Dom. I alredy tried that but when i right click and save it will not be correct!
Save target option will not show and the file will download as srt.txt file who not looks like a regular srt-file.
In the zipped file the srt-files are correct ( the orange/brown rektangular thing on a paper )
The others looks like a paper with the ending srt.txt
If I remove the ” txt ” ending nothing will change!
What am I doing wrong?!?
Hey BlomkÃ¥lssoppa you must right click and then save target as …… then in…(where ever you want the file saved) this will download the srt file.
Enjoy
Hmm, when I click the links it only opens a new page with the subs!?
The zipped files I downloaded are srt files that can be played in the VLC so they seems correct.
Anyone? Thank´s in advance!
still waiting for next episodes…………………
i am a fan of historical k-drama’s. thanks very much for doing a such a great job. best regards;
63-64 <3<3<3<3
