The Empire

The series looks at the scandals of a Chaebol family who accumulated vast wealth through their law company. Through the 16 episodes we see the affairs and backstabbing of the family members and how it eventually leads to murder. I thought the cast was excellent and the storyline interesting but my main problem was with the way the story progressed. I thought there were too many flashbacks and the story seemed hurried at times with no real character development. There were a lot of side characters who we learnt little about and often scenes were overly dramatic but having said that the story was interesting enough to see it through.
