July 25th, 2012 at 9:31 pm
i don’t know, i love this drama at first, but in the end i feel it is too heavy to become romantic drama and more politics in it.. still like it though, not love it..
July 26th, 2012 at 1:23 am
Lee seug k is very suitable for his role in this drama and he’s very cute.This is the best korean drama of 2012 next to dream high2 and love rain.
July 26th, 2012 at 1:27 am
The role of Eun shi kyung is more handsome than Lee seung ki and he may be more suitable for the role of Lee jae ha in this drama.
July 26th, 2012 at 11:25 am
Lee Seung Ki and Ha Ji Won doesn’t get the chemistry.. I still like Lee Seung Ki at My GF is Gumiho.. but King 2 Heart OK to watch..
