Just finished The King 2 Hearts!! for some reasons, i more fond of the romance between the captain of the royal guard and the princess. seriously, don’t care much about the happily ever after ending between the king and the northern agent. damn, i just hate the scene when the brave Eun Shi Kyung died. it was terribly sadddh especially during the military services and the video tape scene (esp. 19)…and i couldnt stop crying!!! 2 thumbs up for Ji Jung Suk for his supporting role as a trusty friend to the king, a loyal guard to the country, a merciful son to a father and a courageous gentleman to the princess!! Lee Sung Ki is as charming as always except too many battles and wars (wow..many foreigners,even Africans eh?) and oh, poor chemistry among the 2 main casts i’m afraid! Overall, it’s pretty good. Lots of conflicts involved in politics, revenge and justice. Will definitely vote for ESK&LJS for their admiring performance (if there is any). Kamsahamnida!!

Like usually, Lee Seung Ki has always a good acting. From the first i already curious about this drama and Yεε姙 ;itdoes a good story line too supported with all good actor and actress. But why must eun shi kyung has to die? Does it really have to be that way? My heart was broke when i saw him died hiks hiks.. But after all, i always like Lee Seung Ki and look forward for his new drama again

A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DRAMA!
July 2nd, 2012 at 5:50 am
I kinda skipped all the scenes after the death of Eun Shi Kyung. I was watching the whole drama because of the romance between the captain and the princess. it was really stupid letting him die :’(
July 2nd, 2012 at 9:02 pm
finally finished this drama….. it’s no fun after shi kyung dead hiks….. i hope the news that there is a surprise in the end that shi kyung death is fake is true but at the end he’s really dead
wae wae wae????

I liked the captain and the princess’s love line T.T. I hope they will have a special episode that shows most of BTS
July 5th, 2012 at 9:25 am
I think it is the best story. moreover I was tight but I dislike when Eun Shi kyung died. I cried. :’(
July 6th, 2012 at 1:06 am
I understand why Eun Shi Kyung died, that he is a soldier, Mayers wouldn’t let him live to serve King Jae Ha, his father did wrong so he has to volunteer, etc. etc. I understand it, but I still don’t like it.
Other than that, this drama is perfect!
July 6th, 2012 at 2:24 pm
i like this drama very much….tell about love to country and human peace. I cried when Eun Shi Kyung died…
