Korean Drama - The King in Love

I never thought I could enjoy 'period' dramas - Language doesn't make it palatable for me.

I bumped across this series as I was searching for SONY ONE on my channel list.  I have had this channel forever, but I never could remember to locate it since by the time I was ready to sleep, I was too tired to bother.

This series, so far, has me laughing, smiling and brought me back to what it means to have this desire to be your own person.

I love the costumes, in fact, if I could find a ponytail clasp like the one the Crown Prince wears here, it would blow my mind to bits.

The storyline is believable.  We can easily draw parallels with our 21st Century reality.  People will always be fighting for power - to control and to bully those who let their guard down.
Loyalty, is such a rare commodity.  Who can we trust? How often do we look over our shoulder and wonder if our deepest darkest secrets will be exposed by a trusted friend?

The writers have done an excellent job with this script.  Plus, the lead actor is really mouth-watering.  His acting skills are impressive - his facial expressions and gestures.

I managed to watch 4 episodes straight - since this is currently being aired, I have to wait for it to be aired in Korea, then here.  So after 4 hours of wah wah wah it's bummer-ing till episode 5.

I have looked up reviews and comments about this show and someone did mention that there are apparently 2 versions of this series.

Whatever it is, whichever it is, I shall not complain, as long as I get my FIX this week.

I may have hopped onto this KDrama bandwagon late, but Better Late than Never!
