We will watch this weekend drama suggested by madman999 as the original one we planned - High School Love On - is not yet complete on DF. asianwiki.com/The_King_2heartsSo we will be seeing the same actor....Lee Seung-gi in this and Gu Family Book - I always like seeing the older actors that are in so many dramas play different parts with different personalities so we'll see how he does.... Hopefully there will be a nice female actor for dodgerman....;-)

Watched the first episode - I liked it - a few familiar faces - the uncle from Miss Korea among others.....
I find the dramas that have to do with the politics/history of North and South Korea interesting since I know so little about it.....not that the dramas may be 100% factual of course....

After two episodes I like this - I just realized after looking at asianwiki that the king was Teacher Jung in Miss Korea...lol....my mind is so gone. He looked very familiar but that's it....and the M group head guy was in IRIS and Midas....

FYI, the main OST song for this drama "Missing you like crazy" was song by Taeyon of SNSD(aka Girl's Generation) . One of my favorite OST songs of all time.

The producers put alot of work into putting good music into these dramas. Sometimes it can make a drama's popularity. Kind of goes hand in hand with the whole kpop/hallyu/Korean wave thing since they use top stars to sing the songs.
Incidentally, the other drama you all are watching Gu Family Book also has a popular song sung by Baek Ji Young who is considered the Queen of OST because of all her hit songs. She has a distinct and powerful voice and has sung the main song for a few other hit dramas like Iris, Secret Garden, The Princess's Man and Rooftop Prince.
