February 23rd, 2012 at 3:38 pm
yeyyyy…new drama!! amazing..
this is the comment that from to main cast.;
” LSG: Hello everyone, playing the role of Lee Jae-ha in The King, I am Lee Seunggi. Happy to meet you. Finally I had my first filming as Lee Jae-ha today. Among the roles I’ve played in the past, this is by far the character that most says whatever he wants and I believe I’ll be showing you audacity at its peak. In this modern-day South Korean constitutional monarchy, North-Korean relations take a turn of events and this drama is filled with a love story and meaningful messages, so please show a lot of love for King and we hope you will anticipate the first broadcast episode. Please tune in to our first broadcast. Thank you.”
“HJW: Hello, I’m Ha Jiwon. This is the King 2 Hearts filming site. We recently began filming and I play the role of the North Korean Special Forces instructor named Kim Hahng-ah. I’ve been working hard on my North Korean accent and we’re having a fun time filming. The chemistry with Lee Seunggi is really great, well-matched and fun too. We’ll share with everyone a very refreshing, strong, exciting, and new drama. Thank you.”

Much, much, much awaited. Missed HJW on my screen, and there is definitely chemistry with LSG. Hope they will play the comedic card all the way, because we didn’t have real comedies lately ( how i miss Secret Garden, it’s unbelievable… ). Lady : If the king is a complete jerk just kick his shin.

Oh yes! HJW is back as a N Korean spy! Kinda like her role as a stuntwoman in SEGA! Love it already. And LSG. Dare we hope the script will be as good as SEGA? Fingers crossed!
