The King in Love - Halfway done!

So far, it's TERRIBLE!  The plot is TERRIBLE!

I'm not familiar with the 2 male leads, but so far, I'm on the side of Han Cheon or the Won, the Crown Prince.


Frankly, I don't understand HOW a man or anyone for that matter, would still go all out for unrequited love.  Sure, save the woman but why continue to try to make it work?  In the real world, this is dumb and the Crown Prince is anything but dumb, according to the scripts.  He can be cunning, and he has the backing of the Grand Imperial.

This story is based on a Korean novel - and Korean history like Chinese history is built around empires of the Emperors.


IF she likes his best friend AND I don't have a problem with that guy.  I'm all for him too as long as he does his job ie protect the Crown Prince.  In an earlier episode, his father told him that the Crown Prince will be King and he cannot have friends.   Well, in this world, no one can say they are assured of a best friend they trust.  Many times, people put aside friendship/relationship because of greed.

Now, given that this man, probably pitied the Prince, when they were boys - they met after the 12-year old Prince's humiliation by the King, should remember he pledged his life to walk with the Prince.

If Lady San, cannot see that she was protected because of the Crown Prince, then she doesn't deserve the Prince.  The Korean novel, ended badly from what I have picked up (I haven't read the book, but I will if i can find an English version), the Crown Prince was exiled.

What kind of a shitty story line is that?

In real world Monarchy, Princes who run foul of moral integrity, do not get exiled.
Back then, perhaps, but really, why make us wait every week for a drama to be disappointed?  If Korean Dramas are going to end like the shit we all get from reality, why bother? I would rather spend my evening looking at the real world then!

This little bit of escape, gives me HOPE that wicked and insincere this world has become, there is hope because after an hour of Korean Drama, I re-charge my negativity and focus on plodding on.

So far, I'm so angry.  Angry that the Crown Prince may loose this battle against a wicked King, his father.

The evil cannot and mustn't win.  Isn't that why we all go on our moral horse and try to do our bit to make this world a better place?

There are at least another 8 episodes left.  If it doesn't end well for the Crown Prince, then this will be the last KDrama I watch.

In the world we didn't live in, we cannot understand much about how things were - but why bring bad endings into a drama - If the goal is to portray a true story, then do a documentary.  Leave the drama for us to look forward to for laughs, smiles and HOPE.
