1) The reason I watched this: I was mainly attracted by the cast then the story seemed intriguing enough I just went for it without high expectations or anything. 2) Storyline/Plot: Generally speaking the story was about royalty nowadays and north-south Korean peace process through love, pain and many other mixed feelings. The Korean nation, the king, the love realtionships, loyalty, friendship and action therefore you can say that the story got it all! Positive points: *The different theme: When you watch too many dramas of the same genre you would get tired of all the Korean romantic stories that share the same plot but this was unusual; script writers gave a unique story: I haven't seen anything like it before. *The South and North Koreans never ending troubles; this existed before in some dramas like "Muyang the spy", it's not a new theme but it was greatly expressed here. Well, a non-Korean person may find himself not interested in this sort of theme but everyone ould like to watch the peace process and the two nations reunion. *Royalty nowadays was a great background. It's true that "My princess" shared the same background but "King2Hearts" was way too interesting. *The romance was cute but not shallow. The romantic development was always captivating especially that there's two different love stories to follow. *The action was set up in a good way; those scenes were exciting to watch. Writers were brilliant for inserting action in this story because that genre is able to eliminate any sort of balnk moments. *Involving other countries like China, the U.S and even Japan in the drama made the events complicated in a good way. *Politics: it wasn't heavily present but when it existed it was well doe especially the diplomatic talks. Negative points: *I wouldn't say it's a negative point but I wanted the main couple's love story to go deeper since there was lack of drama in that aspect. It's true that there were many obstacles but I felt like they got together so soon. Anyway, it wasn't bad but I wanted everything to go deeper in this drama. *Beside that, everything was cool except something that happened near the end but it would be a spoiler if I mention it. Story: 9.5/10 3) Acting/Cast: *Lee Seung Ki : I've seen him in two dramas before but here he was amazingly different. At the beginning, he may sound childish but in some point he felt like a total grown up plus his character development was greatly done. I fell for his role and even his speeches were nicely spoken plus he delievered great emotions. *Ha Ji Won: I like this actress because she have a great way in portraying her roles. Here, she was different from what I saw before. Being a couple with Lee Seung Ki may seem like a huge age gap but events didn't allow to think much about that side. Then there's her North Korean accent: that was really annoying to hear at the beginning but I got used to it as the drama went on. I specially liked her actions scenes and her convincing acting. *Jo Jung Suk: i haven't seen him in anything before before but I fell for the character ever since his first meeting with Lee Jae Ha and everything that happened later on, he was so cool. *Lee Yoon Ji: Special likes for the princess; I liked her character and her relationships with everyone. *I didn't hate Jhon Mayer like I hated his stupid psycho artist Tara or whatever, I still want to kill her!! But I have to admit that they were great actors and performed their parts greatly. *The remaining cast were awesome; thumb up to the WOC team and the queen. *The chemistry and relationships between the cast members was cool uncluding other countries cast; it was cool to hear English, Chinese, Japanese and even French here. * I rarely give 10's to any drama's cast or acting department but here I was deeply impressed. Cast: 10/10 Acting: 9.5/10 4) The ending: I really hated one event near the ending that I even considered it a negative point earlier but that doesn't deny that we had the ending that we wanted. The ending a nice closure to a great drama. The ending: 8.5/10 5) My impression (How did it affect me): *I really enjoyed this drama, so much that I feel some sort of emptiness when it ended. *I always love the unique different stories and I found that in this drama's storyline. Special likes to politics since I love it. *The cast was amazing one of the fewest drama's cast that I genuinely loved. *I had all sort of feelings while watching this: great impression. My impression: 9/10 6) Overall: *If you like watching royalty stories then you would like this. *If you're looking for an interesting story the this is for you. *If you like romance combined with action and politics then you would like this. *If you like Lee Seung Ki/Ha Ji Won then you need to watch this. Overall: 9.5/10.
