This role made her receive a lot of criticism from the audience. She even openly shared on Instagram the insulting words that fans of The Last Empress sent to her.
In the early episodes of "The Last Empress", Min Yoo Ra successfully portrayed the image of a secretary who is agile, intelligent but no less cunning and "clever". She is fully dedicated to serving and supporting Emperor Lee Hyuk (played by Shin Sung Rok), even sacrificing herself to protect the emperor's safety, as a loyal loyal servant of the royal family.
