Next Wednesday there will be elections in South Korea hence MBC is preempting its Wednesday night drama, otherwise known as “Koala’s MUST HAVE/NEED/WANT episode 7 of … Continue reading →
The King 2 Hearts feels like two steps forward and one step back. I don’t mean that in a negative way, but in the realistic context of how romance blossoms not necessarily in a linear fashion. Jae Ha and Hang Ah are very VERY different people, both in personality and cultural background. It’d be a stretch to imagine them marrying … Continue reading →
I’m usually an happy customer when it comes to kiss scenes. Other then the dead fish lips, most kisses are squeeworthy since it brings the OTP closer together. Even if it makes no narrative sense, like the first kiss in Lie to Me. It still makes me happy. So when we get a kiss like the one at the end … Continue reading →
Perfection, thy name is The King 2 Hearts. What I love about watching the pas-des-deux between Hang Ah and Jae Ha is how there are no misunderstandings of the lame variety. No obstacles for the sake of manufacturing angst. They are genuinely confused about their feelings for each other – neither is what the other wants in a significant other, … Continue reading →

It’s so clear that Hang Ah and Jae Ha like each other, but what makes it so much fun is seeing how they make each other jump though … Continue reading →
MBC really dragged this out until the very end, finally releasing new official stills of this week’s episodes of The King 2 Hearts. Jae Ha in military uniform is yum, but Jae Ha in a suit is mind blowing levels of good looking. While I love watching Hang Ah and Jae Ha bickering, because they each dish out as much … Continue reading →
I know I have it bad when I go to sleep thinking about a drama and wake up thinking about the same drama. I enjoy being surprised, and The King 2 Hearts was completely a surprise in how much it works for be. The romance feels palpable, the politics is meaningful, and the intrigue is entertaining.

The King 2 Hearts, you officially own my heart. I love you, I love you, I love you. Wonky North Korean accents, hilariously over-the-top villain, and typical jerky male lead aside, the drama just works for me when I look at the big picture. Its subject matter is far-fetched but intriguing to contemplate, the story moves fast but takes time … Continue reading →
