Previously I watched Vagabond casted by Lee Seung Gi then the Netflix recommended King 2 Hearts. I didn't read the synopsis whatsoever, and I solely saw because of the monarchy setting since I once love Princess Hour long time before and see that it contains action. I must say this is the best! This is my most favorite drama! This is not romance packed and it is more talk about responsibility and trust. Love is of course need to be there. But this drama is not having the tropes which Kdrama usually have but more political and reality. The vibe that I also get from Designated Survivor. But to be honest this is more has the humor, dark side, emotional.

Lee Jae Ha, well at first I want to drop the drama because he is being a jerk. To be honest for the first few episodes I keep hanging because of Hang Ah, King Jae Kang, and Eun Shi Kyung are there to lift the mood. But since the refrigerator kiss, I started to like him, and through the drama I really saw the development. He learns so much and I like it! Lee Seung Gi is the best I think to portrait Jae Ha, and so far the best LSG acting for me.

Kim Hang Ah is so believable! Some people said she is inconsistent, or fall to the weak side. But I don't feel like that. Kim Hang Ah is the female lead that actually the most I admirer from Kdramas I've ever watch. She is tough, yet she wants to be loved. She actually soft and cute, but because of her profession of course she need to look tough and badass while as a wife (or soon-to-be) she needs to be a support for her husband and family. And when she started to enter the SK palace, of course she needs to balance and adjust that she is in different place, not in the comfortable place where she used to be in NK. Step up from your comfortable place, of course you will feel weaker, and need to learn a lot. However we can see that it's her integrity and principle is still there and being the light of the royal family and that's she came to protect. This is my first Ha Ji Won drama, and this is where I fall in love in the first sight and want to watch her projects more (and I'm done already, never be disappointed with her acting)! Again you can argue me, who can do better to portrait Kim Hang Ah aside of her?

Eun Shi Kyung and Princess Jae Shin... this one which have more romance and swoon scene for me. They both delivered well.

The OST.. ughh how can I say more. Missing You and Love is Crying is always in my playlist.

I could give 10 but i'm quite annoyed with American actors, and the English script for them :)
