Wow, jo in sung was offered to play!!!
I never watch this drama but i think i would be so cool to see hajiwon paired with jo insung again and perhaps will attraft me to watch. I think the producer thought the same thing since they offered this to in sung. *no offense for seunggi fans*

I from Indonesia Fans
I dont know why this drama just win one award in MBC Drama Award 2012. Look rating, is big Rating right?
MBC Why?
What Happen with u?
I am so dispointed…
Kecewa..
January 16th, 2013 at 10:57 am
too bad king 2 hearts only won 1 award in MBC awards
HJW should at least win the best actress award for God’s sake. HGI won? MBC is such a joke.
January 19th, 2013 at 12:40 am
The reason why K2H only won a single award is because it ranked last on its timeslot. Rooftop Prince and The Equator Man are its competitors and these two dramas are claiming the number 1 spot. Thats why on KBS and SBS drama awards these two dramas have accomplished number of awards.
Im currently watching K2H right now. and it was quite entertaining. But after 6th episode, Iwas just a bit tired and bored with the storyline and sorry to say I DONT LIKE Ha Ji Won’s character as. Does North Korean Woman speak like that? OA?!
Oh my. and the antagonist, that John Mayer (hollywood singer name-lol) isnot suited for the role. His face is for comedy, He acts less. His emotionless. and worthless for the character.
LSG is consistent with the way he acted. Still the same from My Gumho and Brilliang Legacy. No variations at all.
.
What I only love in this drama so far is Jo Jung Sok. His acting is diversified and versatile. I thought he could win an excellence award here.
Im now in episode 8 so hoping to have more good turns and transitions. and grrr I DONT LIKE THE VILLAIN!

You guys are all nuts. Love this drama. I have watched it at least five times. Enjoyed rooftop prince as well. But your rating system is terrible, they don t seem to get it right.
January 25th, 2013 at 1:12 am
Forget the rating and enjoy the show. Looking at the rating will kills the excitement.
January 25th, 2013 at 3:03 pm
Oww well. I just skipped to the finale since Eun Shi Kyung was shot dead by John Mayer. Hate it! And that John Mayer actor does not to fit to portray a villain role! For gods sake! This drama if i would rate is 4/10! Sorry !

the King Two Hearts is very good.
January 30th, 2013 at 1:13 pm

but y kill him at the end.i m on ep13 n i read he dies.why kill him?ok let me finish the series..
January 30th, 2013 at 3:05 pm
Ha ji won deserves an acting award in this drama, she’s soooo good, i was so caught by her acting skills here, the moment i watched the drama i didn’t stop watching until i finished it. Please, an acting award for Ha Ji won in this king 2 hearts… she really deserved it!

February 25th, 2013 at 12:15 pm
Still have the fever for this drama. I thought I’ve watched all the best, but still its true that the best is yet to come and this one is one of the bests of the best drama I’ve watched so far. First, I doubt that it will be a good one since the first impression I had with this drama is all about wars and guns, and I do like Lee Seung Gi but not enough to watch this.
But… this is the best! the story is so deep. and one thing for sure. it really gives me the glimpse of how the North and South have diverse culture though they share same language.
Eun Shi Kyung, he created a the best man ever will live in a Korean drama land.
One of the funniest things about this for me was I always reminded myself that this is only korean drama, all the characters are fictional. that’s how superb their acting that they brought me to their world.
my heart… it really is so happy to watch this. now I become fan of LeeSeungGi. he matured a lot in every way.
. the chemistry with HaJiWOn I think is one of the most real.
Highly recommed. 11 out of 10. haha
February 25th, 2013 at 12:20 pm
and I cry a bucket of tears. This drama will make you laugh so hard and will make your heart burst in tears that you should always remind yourself that these are all acting and part of the show.. haha. the best indeed!!
February 26th, 2013 at 10:50 pm
five thumbs up for this all time fave korean drama….hope they would make more of this!!!
February 27th, 2013 at 12:49 pm
Eun Shi Kyung (Jo Jong Suk) Why should die, but in this story you is my favorite (appropriate roles but in this story it you should not have to die). very sad when young princess loves Shi Kyung Eun. This drama became less fun because Shi Kyung Eun must be gone forever. I wait Eun Shi Kyung (Jong Suk Jo) come back.

Lost sleep over this drama. Seriously haha. I even had a nightmare tonight like I’m trying to save Gonju-nim and those crazy guys with guns try to break in the house lol. Now its funny, but when I slept — was not at all.
Haven’t watched it to the end yet….but so far it is one of the best dramas I watched.
Good job!

April 2nd, 2013 at 11:20 am
even though i am a huge fan of lee seung gi. but i am not a fan of hjw at all. so i am kind of hesitate to watch this drama. i am looking forward to see his upcoming drama. can’t wait.
April 2nd, 2013 at 8:06 pm
the story was nice.. it was fun watching Hajiwon acting… but i was dissapointed with Leeseunki performance.. i get annoyed everytime i see his ugly face and acting.. doesn’t suite him to this role.. Lee seunki as main character is very dissapointing….
