it’s an interesting drama, keeps you awake all the way. the 2 leads are great. must watch. have liked LSK since gumiho and he has sure improved a lot !! fighting !!
July 26th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
the story is good but i think it’s too much conflict
July 27th, 2012 at 8:54 pm
I see both of polls and both different and therefore I do not believe in polls, the surveys in Korea of the drama I DO I DO ranking was not high but by the reactions of viewers rating should be very high.
But by the amount of reactions of the spectators that means the rating should have been much higher.
July 27th, 2012 at 11:01 pm
this drama is the one of my favourite drama ever. the story and the cast is perfect. lee seung gi looks very handsome. can’t wait for his next drama.

@ lovely 1940
The title of the song is “I’ll Live My Way”.
In the OST, this song is sung by SuperKidd

I didn’t really like LSK when he starred in Gumiho, but he did a great job in this drama. Anyways, Ha ji won is still as great as ever. She’s definitely my favorite. A very versatile actress.

i felt so bad for doubting this series in the beginning.. although im not sure about the truth behind the S & N Korea’s Politics.. but presenting such visual and creativity, i can say that this series deserves multiple awards, from the story line to directing and not to forget the casting..
the portrayal of everyone.. just amazing!!! you’ll hate the carelessness of the prince but you’ll really fall for him for his maturity as the king.. Club M leader is really scary, his dialogues are so vile that you will really detest him… HJW shows extra ordinary strength both physically and emotionally.. the princess and the king’s 2nd command’s love story is also very sweet.. too bad it failed.. haisttt!!
I will have another TK2H marathon tonight for sure.. see you LSG.. ommo..ommo.. your dimple is so cute!!
August 17th, 2012 at 4:49 pm

Love this drama so much!!. All actor and actress do it perfect!!. When Eun Shi Kyung die, so touchful!. Honestly, I don’t like when Eun Shi Kyung die. But after I finished this film, I can feel that this film will be so plain. Just a war, and finished. But when Eun Shi Kyung die, it make me feel interest with his film. ENJOY!!!!!!
August 20th, 2012 at 3:27 pm
