• I really can't wait to watch ep 3.

• Oh! its getting more exciting, the two had a very good chemistry, performance was SUPERB! Looking forward to this new interesting episode. One must watch!

• I am excited to see how their relationship begins to work out.

• i know dunkin is probably a sponsor ,but it cracks me up how Jae Hee is obsessed with donuts! Esp them jelly ones :)

  • It's officially the best product placement ever.

    • Agree with you both.

  • How much do you think the Prince pays to get his 100 boxes of breakfast doughnuts into NK?!
    Apparently he thinks he's worth it.

• UNNI, YOU ARE MY SAVIOR....i've been stalking every k-ent site in existence for something on ep 3...i can't believe I'm so addicted to this already

• Thank you so much for your posts on The King 2 Hearts. It's keeping me sane until the episode on Wednesday. Fantastic acting all around in this drama :)

• I still remember when the casting news came out, everyone was reluctant, hesitant and unable to see the Seung Gi-Ha Ji Won OTP happen or work, including myself (altho I love both of them). I'm sure most of us are eating our words right now. hehe..

  First 2 episodes of K2H didn't hit all the right buttons for me, it suffered from some OTT acting by the leads, overplayed music (tho I liked some of the scores), some choppy editing here and there and most of all, a very annoying North Korean accent by HJW. But what made it for me, was LSG and HJW's palpable chemistry together! I believe nobody saw this coming, who would have thought they could hit it right off the bat with such cute and adorable chemistry? The way they bicker, it's so old school yesterday K-drama formula, but admit it, we love it and we will never get tired of it. The setup's seen before, but the OTP chemistry is what makes it work. It's not something that you can't just create out of thin air.

  The romance premise in K2H is old, but I like that their story is developed differently, incorporating a mix of underlying political tension and some physical/slap-stick comedy. I think the music plays a huge part because some of the scores do make it easier for us to get into the mood of certain scenes. Esp those part involving Club M and the bad guy, darn, he is SO FREAKY and scary. Does he have some mental problem or something?

  So there you go, K2H isn't a home run, nor does it make me go WOW. But compared to FK or RP, this is one drama which I haven't had thoughts of dropping yet.

  • Hi Ripgal, what is OTT? Thank you!

    • Over The Top

  • actually i liked HJW's NK accent.....for sure don't know if it's authentic but she sounds SOO CUTE!! I totally rewinded the scene when she was spazzing about Hyun Bin!

• I really like the chemistry between LSG and HJW as well. I'm pleasantly surprised as I was a little unsure at first. Funny thing is that their chemistry kinda reminds me of the chemistry btw TC and TY in Love Forward, the tw drama that I'm currently obsessed with. Not that the two pairs are alike but that their chemistry has that certain "just right" spark that it needs.

  I'm not sure where K2H will end up, but I'm looking forward to seeing future episodes.

• I feel like I am watching a different drama from all of you.. even joked that maybe the K2H ep I watched is a different version. LOL. Oh well, not giving up on the drama yet, but my one foot (and maybe both arms) is already out the front door.

  • You're not alone. I checked out the first ep and am gonna wait until a few more eps have aired before I continue to watch. I don't feel hooked, rather I feel wary. :/

• I agree with you, Ms. Koala -
  This is my new must-see. I will watch it raw, partially subbed, almost all subbed, and then maybe two more times fully subbed.
  Since the most important scenes are between the OTP, it is more interesting to watch them without understanding exactly what is being said. I pay attention more to what their eyes are saying, where their hands are...
  They do face to face really well together.
  HJW's ability to show emotions - both broad and subtle - makes watching this compelling. An impossible match up between a trained assassin and a royal? I am buying it completely. And when LSG is scrutinizing her face for clues, when he is searching for a weakness he can exploit, we are right there with him. "What's he looking for?" "What's he scheming now?" You can feel him trying to pen her in and capture her. I like that he doesn't realize that the "capturing" will work two ways.
