This drama was just great. It has almost everything. I remember, when I watched the first episode, it felt strange and complicated as the first view episodes were more focused on military and I'd never watched that kind of drama before. Until then I had mostly watched romance-comedy dramas. I also remember having thoughts about dropping it or putting in on-hold.
But then it got more interesting and thrilling. And I'm glad I continued watching. It became one of my favorite dramas.
I totally loved how the characters slowly grows. It was so natural, realistic and understandable. Not like in some other dramas where some characters suddenly changed without a strong reason.
To help others in deciding whether to watch "King2Hearts" or not, I made a list of the topics of this drama and my rates for some of the topics.
40% - Work/Bussiness: being the king, Military, Political (9,5/10)
I've watched "Goong" ang "My Princess". There it was hard for me to understand the role of the royal family in the politics.
But in this drama I could feel how imortant they were for the country and how their relationship with other coutries are.
I'm really not into politics and military, but I could understand the political and military situations in this drama. It was really made understandable.
25% - Romance (8,5/10)
There aren't many romantic scenes in this drama. There's also no usual rivalry in the romances.
But through out the story and their work, the love between the characters was conveyed very well and you can totally tell how deep their love is.
And it's not only the romance between the two main leads that catches the attention of most viewers.
15% - Thriller (7,5/10)
The antagonist was great. His character made me to also hate him and sometimes to feel a little bit scared of his power.
10% - Action (7/10)
Action shouldn't be something to attract the viewers to watch this drama as it was not the focus of "King2Hearts".
Even so, the action scenes were well done and didn't look cheap.
4% - Family
6% - Others
There was very little comedy in this drama, mostly at the begining. As the story gets more serious, ofcourse the comedy became lesser.
