Guh, every time I see Lee Seung Gi with Ha Ji Won my heart gets stuck in my throat and I have this urge to start babbling like an idiot. I still love The King 2 Hearts so so much, far and away my favoritest drama of 2012. I thought I’d seen and found all there was involving this drama but lo and behold, I came across some more pictures from Lee Seung Gi and Ha Ji Won’s interview for a Japanese magazine when they were promoting TK2H in Japan last year. I have never been happier to shout out a mea culpa from the top of the roof when it comes to doubting that Lee Seung Gi would have chemistry with Ha Ji Won, or that he would have the acting chops to keep up with her. I was wrong and wrong. Their chemistry is explosive – sweet, funny, sexy, tender, passionate, and real. Very few drama OTPs have left this strong and indelible impression on me, and this pairing is even more unique in that they keep this chemistry onscreen with a lot of great offscreen camaraderie but I never got the feeling like they were secretly making reel into real. I guess my point is – when I sense co-stars are really into each other/falling for each other in real life when filming a drama, that becomes easy for the onscreen pairing to work since its just transferring natural attraction onscreen. Even harder is for two stars to simply make magic onscreen purely by acting, yet make me believe wholeheartedly its not acting and there are two such characters in this world who love each other this much. These two did that in TK2H. Seeing these new pictures spurred me into watching MVs which lead me to watching episode 1 of the drama and I had to force myself to stop at that before I relapsed and spent the night marathoning this baby again. Nothing wrong with that, I simply can’t afford a sleepless night even if its spent on something utterly satisfying. For those of you who never checked out TK2H, perhaps seeing pictures of this beautiful OTP and watching this amazing MV below might interest you to check out this gem of a drama. It’s not perfect, but there is a high chance it’ll win your heart.
As much as Jae Ha and Hang Ah’s love story was my central love in this drama, TK2H was about so much more than that. This MV made me cry seconds in because it starts with the brotherly love between Jae Ha and Jae Kang, before touching upon every single amazing story line and connection formed in this drama. Absolutely brilliant MV, capturing the journey of a dissolute Prince into becoming a confident King anchored by the courage learned from loving a fearless woman.

that mv just flipped in a switch in me. Thanks for the recommendation.
the song was perfect! it captured the heart of the drama. it still made me cry!!
aw... T_T
aww, king2hearts is my favorite drama this year, too! it had everything. was really on the fence with HJW because i never really connected with secret garden. but i loved her in K2H! didn't even mind the age gap. i also watched what happened in bali because i read about it here (ratings page), and i have a newfound respect for her. that's also the reason why i'm looking forward to jo in sung in that winter the wind blows. :)
Shi Kyung-ssi.
Argh, I am obviously not over his demise.
Me too. Our earnest - bot! His toally unnecessary death is my ONLY gripe against this drama. Otherwise, it would have made into my all time favourite list. *sigh
Ikr, I recently marathoner this show but stopped halfway through ep 18 because I knew what was going to happen next. I was even crying when he was convincing jae ha if this plan!
Hopefully we can see Jo Jung Seok in a drama soon (the one with IU?) so we can get over his death here...
I loved this Kdrama and the music video and pictures above just made me want to watch it all over again Rerun time <3
one of the most refreshing and rare dramas very different from the conventional K-drama type which we counter in dramaland.....all the cast from north to soth korean officers to royal gaurd to the the antagonist to king ,the queen etc seem to be in perfect sync with the charecters......all i can say it was box office stuff.......
I miss them! Between this, a recent rewatch and the dvd BTS pictures/vids coming I'm not sure I'm mentally prepared to watch Seunggi with another leading lady in a few months.
Awwww, perfect timing Koala Unni....I have been missing and rewatching this show a lot in the last few days....I don't know what my 2012 drama year would've been like if this show weren't around...I realize now that this was my first real crack drama since YAB
Dammit.
And the memories come flooding back.
Yes, Capt. Koala. That indeed is an amazing MV. Good choice.
I will believe whatever you say from now on. Within seconds of this video, I was in tears. So many "true pairings" in this drama. I did love the relationship between the brothers. Sigh. No time to marathon this now. Oh dear. I sooo want to!
