The King 2 Hearts

WARNING: A really boring and long post ahead. Unless you're very, very bored and have nothing else better to do, go ahead. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! It's a total fangirl moment!! :)

During the past few days, I spent my holiday watching dramas. Out of the few dramas that I've watched over those few days, this drama is the BEST among all that I've chosen to watch. :) Or maybe, it's the only Korean drama out of all the drama series that I've chosen to watch. I'm forever a Korean fan, fan of their culture, their food, their clothes, their vacation spots, their music, their people and many more. 

I decided to watch The King 2 Hearts because of a dear friend of mine who keeps watching them in school. I took a peek and it looks good. So, I couldn't wait any longer and I made sure that during the holiday, I would watch it. It took me 3 days to finish the whole series. It was a good 3 days. :)

My favourite actresses, like Ha Jiwon and Lee Yoonji, acted in The King 2 Hearts. I have loved Ha Jiwon since her Hwang Jini days. I love how she can simply act out her character qualities so well. Happiness, sadness, cold, hatred, goofiness, joy and many more... she just brings them all out at the perfect time. Hwang Jini, Haeundae, Secret Garden.. just you name it. She just has this charm in her. ;) 

I loved lee Yoonji since her Princess Hours days.. I love her character in Princess Hours because her character in there is so wise and charming, the life-saver of the day, the heroine in the drama. Plus, she's beautiful and has really long and nice pair of legs. HAHA!! (I'm no weirdo but it's just that her legs really attracts the attention.) She did well in Dream High too, so cute and feisty. Hehe.. when she was in WGM with Kangin, I watched every single episode of it. They're so cute!! I LOVE Super Junior, so Kangin + Yoonji = GOODNESS!! :D 

I just totally love Ha Jiwon and Lee Yoonji!! I have been fangirl-ing them for many, many years, and I guess that there's just more years to come. :) I'm looking forward to their future projects. Impress me!! :D

I was okay with the rest of the cast. Now, I have another favourite actor after this drama. Lee Seunggi. I was okay with his acting since Brilliant Legacy and My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho however, in this The King 2 Hearts, he struck me. :) I liked him since the beginning as a singer, doing variety in 2Days1Night and talk show host in Strong Heart. Seunggi is just so cute!! He improved a lot in acting I think. An all-rounder - singer, entertainer, talk show host, actor, CF Model. What more? Hehe.. He's another one that I'm looking forward to. :)

Lee Seunggi and Ha Jiwon play the protagonists in The King 2 Hearts. Lee Seunggi plays Lee Jaeha who is a prince, later a king of South Korea and Ha Jiwon plays Kim Hangah, a North Korean officer. I won't go on and on about the whole story of the drama but I just love the unique story line of the drama that showcased the wonderful potential of the actors. Hehe.. I ship the Jaeha-Hangah loveline and the Shikyung-Jaeshin loveline. I think Jo Jungsuk who plays Shikyung is quite good looking. He's not bad an actor which is a plus (all maybe because he's a musical actor). :D

I liked how the drama depicts the tensions between North and South Korea. I'm not a Korean so I don't really know about the real issues of the Korean peninsula however, I do know that it's true, like in the drama, that if anything between the 2 countries go wrong, they might go into war. I'm for peace so I hope that nothing of this sort really ever happen in reality. Go unification team!! :)

I like the ending of the drama even if it's not the perfect fairy tale ending and the people still not accepting of the North-South relationship but it didn't really disappoint. I'm just upset about the death of Shikyung. Like why?!?! It's so sad.. because he died just when his relationship with the princess is going strong. Meh.. the scriptwriter is just such a mood-killer. Haha!! But all is well and I'm satisfied.

This post is just all my fangirl moments here. Haha!! Yeah, I'm just a strong supporter of this drama. The King 2 Hearts is just totally DAEBAK!! Great job to MBC for airing a couple of my favourite dramas one after the other. I watched Moon-Sun much earlier before and it was great as well. Hehe.. looking forward to other dramas. This will totally be up on the re-watch dramas in my list together with some others. :) (I always have a re-watch marathon in December where I re-watch all my favourite dramas and movies. Like Princess Hours, I've re-watched it 8 times, over the years of course since it was released when I first watched it in 2006. ;P )

End of my fangirl post ;)
