The King 2 hearts

Set in a fictional present day where South Korea is governed under a constitutional monarchy, “The King 2hearts” tells the story of Prince Jae-Ha (Lee Seung-Gi) from South Korea and North Korean Special Force instructor Kim Hang-Ah (Ha Ji-Won). (Source: AsianWiki)

Kim Hang Ah is a legendary top female instructor working in North Korea’s elite special forces unit. With stamina, training tactics, and strength in all areas, she is the perfect female soldier; however, she has never fallen in love. Pure and candid, Kim Hang Ah’s goal is to fall in love and get married. Lee Jae Ha is the prince of South Korea’s monarchy. His personality reflects his royal position, with refined humor and a handsome face; however, he has little interest in pursuing politics. Though he seems perfect on the exterior, Lee Jae Ha is actually very materialistic and blunt about his own desires.
One day, calamity strikes the South Korean royal family, and Lee Jae Ha finds himself on the throne in the midst of negotiations between North and South Korea for ending the war. As part of negotiations, he and Kim Hang Ah find themselves betrothed to each other. Can these two learn to settle their differences? For the sake of Korea?  (Source: MyDramaList)

Does this drama have a Happy Ending?

Notes (Spoilers)

Generally this drama has a happy ending, one I was mostly happy with. But be prepared for a completely unnecessary and gut wrenching death towards the end. I’m still angry about that one.

There is also some violence and abuse in progress of a kidnapping but it’s only a super small part. So again, be prepared but don’t not watch it because of that.

I would have preferred if the drama focussed solely on the North/South Conflict and how minds of people were changed instead of bringing in this ridiculous villain Club M and John Mayer. I found those to be annoying and as always the foreigners (speak Americans) were not very convincing.  But all considered I liked the drama.
