I just finished King 2 Hearts, and all I can say is wow. Wow oh wow oh wow. I don’t even know where to begin to discuss my opinion on this drama, but I must do so, right? The plot of a KING in South Korea got my interest in it, in the beginning. Being a sucker, for GOONG, the idea of seeing it again, in a different light, caught my interested, and then throw in the mix of south and North Korea coming together, then well, you have a kick ass of a drama. The story isn’t one that is fast pace, so brace yourself for that, but that is what makes it good in my opinion. It has a slower speed, for you to catch information, and to actually understand what is going on, which is good right? I would think so. Each episode, will get you hooked, with their killer endings, like I like to call them, cliff hangers, making you want to know what is going to happen next, and that is a good strategy for a drama, making the viewers come back for more, even though it may be frustrating when you are watching currently airing drama.
The characters in this drama, all had their own personalities, and times to shine. They were important factors in the story, and without one, something would have been different. And I like that, that even though they are not MAIN characters, they have a role in the drama, and without them, something different would of happened, and that is just like life. Though someone may not be a main factor in your life, something they do can change the outcome of what is going on in yours, and vice versa. The main female, is kick ass, I just have to say that. Though her accent got on my nerves, this girl can kick some major ass. She isn’t playing around, she is for real a solider and even though she may get scared, she can get through it, and kill people right and left, and that is what makes me love her. I may have a girl crush on her! The main male, the prince, he may be immature, but once he gets his head on straight, he is an amazing person, with a good head on his shoulders and knows what to do under pressure, and he never lets people get the best of him. The main couple, adorable, powerful, awesome in themselves is great, but then there is the second couple. The second “leading” male as I call him, he is amazing. I truly loved his personality, and everything about him, I had loved his acting skills since I saw him in WHAT’S UP. The couple that he forms with his special lady, who is also amazing and boy can that woman act, they are pretty much my ONE TRUE PAIRING (OTP), and they are amazing. I will ship them till the day that I die, but you actually have to watch the drama to know who they are and why I ship them, and why YOU too will ship them. Each character will make you feel emotion, from good to bad. There are evil people who make you want to slit their throats, scream, kick, and throw your computer/laptop out the window, and there are characters that make you laugh so hard you cant stand it, there are characters that make you over flow with gooey warm feelings, and then there are characters that combined them all into one, and make you lose control of what you are feeling. That makes this drama extremely good, don’t you say? Like I always say, I like dramas with well-rounded characters, character growth, and what not, the story can be dull and boring, but the characters must be good with great personalities, good or evil, and have growth and learn things, or it truly isn’t revealing true human characteristics.
I want you to know, that this drama isn’t for those looking for a light hearted romance drama, with a dash of politics, I would have to say it’s a political drama with a dash of romance, which is fine by me. This is a more mature drama, for an audience that wants to sit through those “boring” parts and gather all the information. Ones who truly want to dive into a drama, and drowned in its information, and actually good a good experience out of it. If you are in it for the hot guys or the hot girls, or the romance, then one you in my opinion are an idiot, and two you are missing out. Skipping around in this drama, will make you lose the story, you wont know what is going on, and you will be one of those lame asses on viki flooding the comments with questions on what is going on, because you decided to skip. So please don’t be one of those people, actually watch the drama in whole, and I will have to say you will appreciate it more.
What can I really say about this drama, it was good, had excellent cinematography, music, characters, acting, and story line that keeps you interested, and I have to say its one of the best dramas I have ever seen, it may not be on the tip top of my favorite list, but it is indeed going to be a classic, one that I could watch over and over, and ranks higher then those “classic” high school style dramas, with boy meets girl , girl hates boy blah blah blah and you know where I am going with that. This surpasses that, and shines so much brighter. There is a thousand things I could say about this drama, and name points in it that made me cry tears that could fill an ocean, or ones that made me so angry I thought I might kill a kitten or something, but I want you to watch it. You need to watch it, so you can go through those emotions, and experience the greatness of this drama. Experience it, isn’t that what dramas are about? The experience, I don’t know about you but I like to feel, be connected with the shows I watch, and this one, I was attached like a leech.
So I recommend this drama to those who are mature enough to watch it. Those who can sit through political things, violence, and not have to see romantic things, to be able to enjoy a good drama. And if you have never watched a drama like that before, go ahead and try it, but promise me that you will sit through it and watch it in its full, okay? Promise!? I hope so, because it truly is kick ass.
