Is the drama not that good since the ratings drop until its finale compare to Rooftop Price and The Equator Man which have higher ratings than this drama?! Why?! What happen? Is the story boring?! Please answer.

Brace yourselves, if you want to watch this movie. You gotta prepare 3 sets of Kleenex tissues. You laugh, cry, and most of all fall in love. I’ve seen tons of Korean movies but. This one? THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME of all.
thank you for giving this movie. Just a fan from Philippines.

The best drama in 2012!
December 27th, 2012 at 10:51 pm
I’m is the big fan of Lee Seung Gi, at first when I watch this drama, I feel so dissapointed, why Lee Seung Gi must acting in this story, it so waste…. I feel like I want to stop watching it, but I eat my words! It really worth watching, not only because Lee Seung Gi acting become more daebak and mature, but the PLOT IS SO JJANG ! I feel like this royal family is real ! Everything is real ! The writers,director, cameraman and actors are DAEBAK ! THIS IS THE BEST DRAMA I EVER SEEN ….. WORTH WATCHED ! RECOMMEND YOU A LOT !! <3
December 28th, 2012 at 4:27 pm
But i like eun shi kyung-lee jae shin the most. i wish he didnt die. That really made me cry. But still, ITS THE BEST DRAMA IVE EVER SEEN.

about the rating..i think only some of the countries received mbc channel and maybe it touch sensitive issue i.e. political issue. I thought this drama would be boring and not into political story but after watching it episode by episode, then i realized it was worth watching. The cast, the writer and the storyline were very AMAZING. I watched this drama because i want to see the chemistry between LSG and HJW…i thought they couldn’t be a good couple because of the age gap. I’m wrong they do make a lovely and sweet couple…BRAVO to TK2H..You’re the BEST..i don’t care abt the rating!!!
January 1st, 2013 at 2:43 am
Lee Seung Gi..You’re very AWESOME in this drama. You look much mature and handsome as a king. CONGRATULATIONS!!! Same goes to Ha Ji Won. Both of you are the WINNER for us TK2H fans all over the world. LOVE this drama so much….
