One of the best Korean series for this year ( Jan – May 2012 ) . Main actor is fantastic as well as his Queen from North Korea. I watched a few series – Lee Seung Ki Movies and to me this one is the BEST! The Lady Ha was really fantastic especially the way she fights, real good. It was romantic , loving, sad, comedian, and all about North and South Korea to be untied. Sad part is Jo Jung Suk died , he was doing great in this movie too.
The Director and Screenwriter were superb
Best Movie – The king 2 Hearts
2nd Best – Roof Top Prince
3rd Best – Fashion King

@Gy, @KDaddict, @Si
Since I’m a soul, I’m gonna skinjack Writer Hong’s body and write a sequel of K2H. keke. I’ve been reading the skinjacker trilogy by Neal Shusterman lately. That is one of the reasons why I want to be a soul. I’m an afterlight. Ha. I guess I need to go back to my own body tomorrow and move on. @KDaddict sunbaenim, I realized that you’re right. I’ll think of my K2H addiction as my life. How daebak is that! Forget about being an afterlight. lol
June 3rd, 2012 at 4:32 am
@Kumon
At least you are able to read something interesting after TK2H. I hope your skinjack to writer Hong successed before you return to your body! LOL~
June 3rd, 2012 at 6:12 am
THE BEST BEST BEST BEST OF ALL TIMES….
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:28 am
@ kumon’s soul
Good luck to your skinjack, soul. Hopefully you didn’t stuck in writer Hong’s body. Hehe.
June 3rd, 2012 at 3:46 pm
love this drama, rewatching it again. Best chemistry ever!
June 3rd, 2012 at 4:31 pm
@kumon’s soul, Gy, Si,
I realize that you need time b4 moving on. When you r ready, a show that I recommend is A Gentleman’s Dignity. 3 eps of it r out so far. Each one is better than the last. I love ep 3 in particular. It is completely a feel-good show, so far. Hope you feel better soon. And pls share links to Seung Gi’s Budokan Concert when you get them. Cheers!

June 3rd, 2012 at 9:48 pm
Ja, I just finished this, wow, AMAZING ENDING. It was sweet and gentle, after all the dramas’ I have seen lately, it is fine to see a drama with a real satisfying ending.

Great acting by LSG and HJW, their chemistry was awesome !
June 4th, 2012 at 3:36 pm
this drama was the best drama ever !! just wanna to ask, when this drama willl be played in malaysia ?
June 5th, 2012 at 1:31 am
T2H is so very great,awesome,unique kdrama..the line story so different from the other k drama..not boring until last episode..great act to all artis &chemistry for LSG & HJW so romantc..two tumb for T2H…now so sad, this drama is over…
June 5th, 2012 at 10:56 am
it’s a good drama, but i was dissappointed a bit about unhappy ending for Jae shin-Eun Shi Kyung (it makes TK2H not good at final..3rd rating..maybe u agree with me too??)..i’am 1023rs mostly HaJiWon is the best, compared all her role in drama, i could say Secret Garden is a most fantastic chemistry of her with Hyun Bin.
June 5th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
re watching again for 3 times already
hahahaha best story and actors ever.and I really love their chemistry ..:D
June 6th, 2012 at 3:33 am
***Highly recommended*** Direction, plot, acting, chemistry between the actors! Trust me you will be remember it forever. King 2 hearts is in my ‘Favourites’ list. This drama has everything put out there so perfectly that one just cannot avoid but praise the team for it.
June 6th, 2012 at 11:16 am
totally agree with KDaddict’s statement that after TK2H, one really needs time to move on. I’m now watching a new drama but my mind is totally elsewhere! or should i say my mind is still in TK2H mode.
I’m not really a big fan of LSG but after seeing his acting in this drama i now root for him! go go go!!! job well done!!!
congratulations TK2H!!!!!!
rating from 1-10 is “11″!!!!! hahaha…
June 6th, 2012 at 7:22 pm
In this hard days of our lifes korea King and Queen made us feel happy and wait forWednesday and Thurstday to watch a new ep. I will miss K2H and my friends and family too.Hope one day (soon) koreans to be together again.Thank you Krdrama for K2H.

I attended the DMZ Panmunjom tour in Korea a couple weeks ago before starting this series so alot of the themes they talked about made alot of sense! I loved the chemistry between Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi. Although I initially was not too convinced with Lee Seung Gi potraying “royalty.” Nevertheless, he did a brilliant job in potraying a modern king. I’m disappointed as to why the ratings weren’t as high as I would have expected it to be!? Anyway, loved this drama all the way. I’m usually into the typical korean rom-coms; although there were alot of dark parts to this drama, it was very enjoyable to watch to the end.
