The best way to welcome the arrival of the dreaded Monday is with new stills from the upcoming episode of The King 2 Hearts. While episode 10 left off on a very heavy note for the OTP, looks like things are on the up and up based on these new stills. At least for Princess Jae Shin and her stoic and earnest bodyguard Shi Kyung, that is. They have been getting less screentime than they deserve, probably because there is just so much story to tell that sadly they get the short end of stick. But everyone I know already loves them even with their limited but sparkling interactions, and looks like we’ve got a princess-carry for the Princess coming up. Squeee! As for our King? He appears to be having way too much fun, but who knows what the reason is behind the outing, but I bet money its all tied to getting Hang Ah back. Lee Seung Gi is doing such a bang-up job at playing older than his age that I forget how young he really is, but these new stills definitely show off his boyish side.
So this is the drama trolly producer Yu Zheng recently praised as better than Goblin…
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…
So Queen of Tears was filmed in 2023 and wrapped awhile ago so it's not…
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest…

yay! im so excited for both of the couples? wedneday seems so close but yet so far! i hope this weeks episode will mAke up for all of the angst last week
I'm really curious to see if Shi Kyung will have to look all serious on the ride xD
While I absolutely love our OTP, I'm so glad that this drama have a set of secondary characters that are more than just extras to the leads' life. It's been a long time since I haven't enjoy a side couple so much! Who doesn't love princess and bodyguard love lines :P
can't wait wednesday to come :D
Oh, our dear Earnest Bot! Love him. He steals every scene that he is in. <3
And yes...writer-nim, more screen time for the princess and his bodyguard. I don't care much for Bong Gu, they need to cut his scenes, he only comes alive to me when he is interacting with Jae Ha. Ah, Wednesday seems so far away...
I ship this couple a lot!!!<3 I'm so excited to for the next episode! This is the first drama able to influence my mood since BBJX.
Thanks much much much much, mrs. koala!
Wow I love this couple!!
Hi Koala Unni,
Thank you for the stills picture... But, in another note, OMG.. have you watched episode 9 of Fondant Garden yet? I think that is one of the best episode for me.. As the four lead are really great and show a lot of maturity and emotions.... Which I am totally happy...
I'm still watching FG, but episode 9 jumped the shark for me plotwise. I can't grasp how far to the dark side the writers are pushing AL and HX's characters in order to create the opening for HH and ME. That's some huge characterization leaps that serve a narrative rather than organic purpose, and really takes me out of the story. Which is such a shame, because HH-ME are wonderful together and I do want the OTP to get together. But not at the expense of throwing the 2 second leads completely under the bus to get there. I feel like HX had a lobotomy within an episode, and AL went from harmlessly selfish to grotesquely delusional.
I understand Koala unni. For me, I understand how she got to the dark side in the name of love... For HX, I am not sure as I know that he is hurt and everything but there is different side. That is kind of why I like his character.. I feel that HH has been there all along but today was the break through of him liking ME.. What I do not like is how come they show at this point. There was few hints but dang it... It was a freaking huge leap on episode 9.. As for AL, ugh... I like her in the beginning as she seem to have a good heart even though she is selfish.. but to have her the way she is in episode 9... It was just ugh... Oh the freaking parents.. I soo feel like hitting them on the head as how they do not understand AL is trying to make amends. Regardless, I like the AL, HX, HH, ME showing maturity of how they are feeling. I hope that make sense to you Koala unni. *sigh* I do love the songs in FG.. Well, we shall see how it goes from the next episode.. I hope we can continue talking about it Koala unni...
I still plan to keep watching FG, and am happy to talk about it, but I worry ep9 is just the beginning of the downward spiral for me. I sure hope not, because I loved the first 8 episodes so much. Even HX's struggle in episode 8 was understandable for me. But the WTF point came when they had HX-Al sleep together. o__O So so out-of-the-blue and not necessary, other than to push them past the point of redemption. Ugh, I hate that kind of storytelling extreme. Honestly, if HX told ME that he did love her but he cannot give up his chance at career success so he's picking AL, which is the truth, then she would be just as sad and move on. She's not clingy or the type to wallow in self-pity. I don't understand why the drama doesn't just have the secondary leads be honest about how selfish they are and be okay with it, and then have the leads move on naturally together.
Oh me too!... when I saw the HX-AL "sleep" together scene, I was thinking WTF? They did not just do that. Totally unnecessary in my mind... it totally goes way out of there. I was hoping that there would be at least some sort of reconciliation btw HX and ME. He was never honest with her at the end. And why? She's is as you said, one of the nicest personalities out there - she definitely wouldn't have been clingy. He is just weak & selfish. I guess him & AL deserve each other in this form.
Anyhow, I still want to see HH get together with ME... but he also has his own needing to be honest with her too. I would really like to see him actually step up and grow up in his profession... be that going his own route or taking over his father's company. I like that they are so cute together, but whenever I go back and see HX and ME... I do miss them terribly (them together pre-end of ep 8 & 9).
This couple is so cute.
Looks like our king having so much fun.
Can't wait to watch ep 11.
He is my favorite! Now all we need is for it to be time for him to be on the darn screen! I can't say he isn't my fav, and the relationship with the princess makes me all kinds of happy.
Actually Seung Gi oppa is a little afraid of heights so...

"Amusement park staff:
During shooting,he took the pirate ship ride for many times, Lee Seung Gi kept asking whether this is the highest the pirate ship can swing? He said if the pirate ship swings higher, he can’t take the ride!
Director who sat at the opposite was taking the ride happily. When the shooting ended, Director joked that he wants to shoot additional one more scene to take a different ride which is very high up, Seung Gi who was afraid said NO NO~
（ps：The pirate ship they sat during shooting is for KIDS!!!Aigooo..Seung Gi yah)"
Sorry, Ms Koala. Hope you don't mind.
I read this too! That he asked the staff how high up the viking ship ride would go. When they were done the director joked that they should try out the Mega Drop to which he kept saying: "andwe andwe!!" heh
I'm pretty sure it must be hard for JJS to be serious at all times onscreen esp w/ jokester LSG around. And, these pix make me soooo happy!! jfhsdfhsfhzkdfhdfkh
I just read he ride more then 10 times...I hope his stomach is OK ;)
