So last week wasn’t just a some K-dramas ending, it was also the premiere of tvN weekend sageuk drama Captivating the King. The drama stars Jo Jung Seok as the King and Shin Se Kyung as the spy captivating him if we take the drama title literally but as cheesy as the title is the drama itself is a classic sageuk with politics, intrigue, backstabbing, and lots of baduk to start. The ratings are decent to start with 3.089% and going up to 3.977% with this being a 16-episode drama so enough time for a slow burn but not too long for padding. The initial reviews are really good so if this type of crown prince and his lover/enemy story is up your alley this should be worth a watch.
