I felt sad for the princess. I still can’t believe that eun shi kyung was dead. I expected a happy ending for them. K2H is a great drama. The cast really doing well. Ost is nice as well. One thing I dislike is the death of eun shi kyung.

Seriously one of the BEST drama’s I have watched. All the suspense, romance ughhhhh it was all so good. I truly want to meet all the actors and actresses so I can give them a real applause and say “GOOD JOB EVERYONE” I will seriously miss this drama. But its ok because I can watch it over and over again. I made my mom watch it with me the other day and she, never watches Korean drama, was anticipated by it and liked it
I hope every main actor of this drama gets a new project except Kim Bong Goo. Seriously if I see that guy one more time in my screen, I will smash it up!! I seriously disliked him so much because of what he did to the royal family ughhhhh!! But then again, it’s only an act so I really cant hate someone because of their character in a drama

My gosh, this is the best drama of all times… touched my heart so deep. It shakes your emotions so easyly…. i cried, i smiled, i fell in love. I don´t know how koreans do it, but they really know how to surprise me all the time…
best drama. congratulations
May 29th, 2012 at 8:32 am

Still in withdrawal. Wed-Thur won’t be the same anymore.

Shi Kyung died at 10 mins of ep 19. The rest of tht ep just went over my head. I still haven’t felt the urge to watch ep 20 yet.
When SK died, it was like a plug was pulled, n I no longer felt any connection w the show.
I knew that our OTP would be together, Mayer would be caught, but I don’t feel anything abt it. For me the show stopped at 10 mins in ep 19.
May 30th, 2012 at 12:29 am
I just started watching this drama (8 ep so far) and..
I am sooo shipping Eun Shi Kyung and Lee Jae Shin <3
kyaa~ kyaa~~ #fangirling
And I accidentally red some spoilers here -_- not good. LOL.
I love this drama!! \m/ (Im so late)
May 30th, 2012 at 12:43 am

May 30th, 2012 at 12:48 am
I hope there will be the king 2 hearts part 2
…or..maybe ha ji won and lee seung gi will meet again in other drama..i hope so………
May 30th, 2012 at 7:24 am
I dropped out after ep 18, no urge to continue. Somewhere the show went downhill, lost its original charm.
May 30th, 2012 at 12:13 pm
A new genre, a new life from Kdramaland, and I’m so hooked!
Love so much this drama. Already miss it.
Best. Drama. Ever.
May 30th, 2012 at 12:21 pm
SW-nim so BRILLIANT. Hats off and I’ll be your hardcore fans.
This drama is to set high bar, and after this my dark life will be comeback if the Kdramaland industry isn’t changed their stagnant formula/mainstream currently.
TK2H so Satisfied.
May 30th, 2012 at 12:25 pm
good morning hearties! today is king’s day. sigh. I still cant get over this drama. ;(
May 30th, 2012 at 12:28 pm
After watched this drama I become ‘masokhist’ because I LOVE all the torture, heart-wretching, broken heart, jaw drop, flooding tears, LOL, rollercoaster feeling in this drama.
Absolutely unforgettable! TK2H always be in my heart as one of the BEST drama ever.
May 30th, 2012 at 3:28 pm
Did they have to pick Lee Seun Ki as the main star? He’s kind of ugly. Nothing to look at. Why would anyone fall in love with him. Saw him on My Girlfriend is a Gumikho and thought that he was kind of annoying. Not impressed.

@Charlie-1736,
I’m surprised that you lasted as long as you did, till after ep 18, given that you had such a strong negative reaction to the WOC stuff. Sometimes when sth in a drama is found to be jarring, it erodes a lot of goodwill. Then there isn’t much of it left as the show progresses.
May 30th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
OKKK…I’m done watch this drama…nice ending,,,but no kiss!!…good job guy’s…one of good drama 2012…wait 4 next project.bye

Lee Seung Gi really looks like a king. He was born to wear suit.

No TK2H this Wednesday. I felt empty in my heart. Still in denial that it’s already over. *sobs
May 31st, 2012 at 10:28 am
This drama.
Before this drama. I kinda lose my obsession over kdramas. But TK2H brings back that obsession. It’s different from others. It has quality. I’m hooked.
I love TK2H to bits.
