Most modern K-drama loves stories find conflict in complications that are not really all that compelling. The fantasy conceit of The King 2 Hearts allows it to have a really meaty barrier between Hang Ah and Jae Ha, but what the drama does so well is focus on the attention and time on the personality and insecurity issues bubbling beneath … Continue reading →
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 … Continue reading →
I love spoilers. Spoilers are good, it makes the wait between weeks easier to bear. A bunch of spoiler pictures have popped up for the upcoming two episodes of The King 2 Hearts, which should bring some measure of comfort to those worried that our King and future Queen will be kept apart for much longer. Of course they won’t. … Continue reading →
This episode was a bit rough, and the exposed seams where the narrative borders on unrealistic starts to unravel a bit. Where The King 2 Hearts excels at is delving into the personal relationships between characters inhabiting a fantasy world that involves royal families, a Romeo and Juliet love story based on one culture split into two countries, and the … Continue reading →
Time is seriously crawling around my neck of the woods. I swear I can hear water drops counting down each second. Drip, drip, drip……The King 2 Hearts come to momma now! I’m so glad we’re back to a normal one episode a night airing this week, Last Thursday I was seeing chirping birds floating around my head by the time … Continue reading →
Who wants to go hunt down an increasingly evil secretary with me? OMG, that guy needs a beat down, though of course I’m only referring to Secretary Eun the character and not my awesome haraboji Lee Soon Jae, who can do no wrong when it comes to acting. I’m finding cracks in the characterization of villain Bong Joo and increasingly … Continue reading →
I can write about this drama all day long. The King 2 Hearts keeps taking my heart for a test drive and depositing me back all discombobulated and dizzy. I’m not sure what’s come over me, only that I’m thisclose to having TK2H dreams. I feel like Wednesday is so so far away, but I’m sure if I keep busy … Continue reading →
I came into The King 2 Hearts because of my Ha Ji Won love, and it looks like I’m going to leave it with a massive affection for Lee Seung Gi. I’m so glad I don’t have to suffer through another dud drama of Ji Won’s like her last one, complete with her worst performance to date, and can enjoy … Continue reading →
Who’s cried today? You can’t have watched today’s episode 7 and 8 of The King 2 Hearts without crying at some point. I really lost it during the moment when Jae Ha was taking off his tux and thinking back to his moments with Jae Kang. I so wanted to hug my all grown up puppy at that moment, but … Continue reading →
This recap was hard to write, since its hard to process dialogue and write when one is sobbing like a loony. So much happened in one episode, yet it was shockingly low key. I don’t know if the writers intended it this way, but even the most shocking or drama altering plot turn felt muted, controlled, stoic almost. But it … Continue reading →
Just a reminder that there is no new episode of The King 2 Hearts today, as episode 7 is being preempted for elections and will air tomorrow back-to-back with episode 8. SBS is doing the same thing for Rooftop Prince, but KBS remains the lone channel of the three to maintain its regular programming. My gut tells me The Equator … Continue reading →
MBC’s official website for The King 2 Hearts has confirmed its going to air two episodes on Thursday, after a bit of waffling about it over the weekend. The written preview for episode 7 is out, and it confirms what is happening in some of the scenes shown in the video preview already. For TK2H, I’m not angling to know … Continue reading →
The King 2 Hearts, la la la, I love you, you are so perfect. That’s a chant I made up recently, it’s quite catchy and makes the time pass by quicker. Another way to while away the hours until Thursday is if MBCÂ keeps releasing new official stills to put a smile on my face. The latest batch are behind-the-scenes moments … Continue reading →
