Empress Myeongseong (Hangul: 명성황후; Hanja: 明成皇后) is a 2001 South Korean television series that aired on KBS2.
Empress Myeongseong was considered as the last empress of Korea because of the Eulmi Incident (also called Operation Fox Hunt).
It was reported that Lee Mi-Yeon signed a contract with KBS for this drama for only 100 episodes. However, due to high viewership rates, KBS wanted to extend the episodes for more than 100 originally. Since Lee Mi-Yeon wanted to stick with the original contract, she refused to do episodes more than 100. However, KBS still extended Empress Myeongseong and had Choi Myung-Gil for the role. This will be seen as Lee Mi-Yeon's last episode was Episode 81 and Choi Myung-Gil started at Episode 82. The viewers should not be confused as Lee Mi-Yeon also had a death scene which is actually a music video for the OST.
