I really really liked Rooftop Prince but I am beyond obsessed with King 2 Hearts. I threw an off-handed comment before it aired that it seems like someone threw Goong and IRIS into a blender but that turned out to be prophetic. And somehow, incredibly, it works! Take two dramas I adore, but who couldn't be more different, and turn them into a functional whole? YES PLEASE!
The portrayal of the North is not particularly realistic but since this is AU, I am willing to accept that in this alternate Universe, this is how North Korea is.
I adore all the characters I am supposed to and am already unhealthily invested in their well-being. I even liked the kid versions of the characters, which I almost never do.
Also, this is waaaaay darker than I expected (the teasers hinted but I wasn't sure), with interesting and complicated underpinnings to it all. And I love!!!
I need to inhale and marathon all of this asap. Curses for waiting!
Oh, and Ha Ji Won, kicking the entire North and South Korean armies in the face without breaking a sweat? So beyond badass and scary and pretty much worth the price of admission right there. Also, when did LSG go from puppy to sexy? Because UNF!
