Generally TNmS tends to be higher than AGB rating. The more relied rating used for comparison is always AGB.

http://mystarmyangel.tumblr.com/post/157553828806/trans-170221-yoonas-interview-at-the-king
Due to the cold weather, YoonA came to the interview venue with a slightly red nose. Because of her role, she was wearing the male costume with a light makeup but yet it brings out a fresh and cute beauty look.
- Please tell us the reason why you decided to take up The King Loves
I am very interested in the triangle relationship of Won, San and Rin. I also like the role San a lot. Even though I think historical dramas are tough, but if it is this project then i would like to challenge it. I acted in historical drama in China before, and there are not many differences in particular. And there aren’t too many dialogues that are typically used in period dramas, so I have not met with any major setback yet.
- San is a fictional character. What is your impression when you received the script? Has the director and screenwriter commented anything on this role?
It is the most unreserved role that I have ever played so far. It’s not much about disguising as a male, but I am really fond with this forthright and boyish role.
The writer told me ‘Doing it like this is okay’ and the director also told me ‘Don’t think so much on that it is a must to do this, but rather, play the role according to your own styleâ€. So it is easy to act, I am thankful towards the director.
- San is the female lead that led two men to tragedy, what do you think her charms are?
San is a girl who is innerly scarred, but leads her life upright and firmly. On the contrary, aren’t people easily attracted to such person? Even though she has a strong mind, but there are times that she unintentionally reveals her weakness. I guess from a guy’s perspective, he will want to lend a helping hand to her.
- What is your impression of Im Siwan? How do you feel while working with him?
Serious and steady? I thought he is someone like this. Even though he has that part with him, but to my surprise he is also really humorous. He is very passionate and when he is acting, I feel that he has a stronger analytical and concentration power than average people.
When Siwan-sshi decided to appear in the drama as Won, I felt that he is indeed a good fit. Even though Siwan-sshi looks really gentle at first glance, but my instincts tell me that he will be a good match with the role, Won who is very expressive with his feelings.
My first impression of Siwan is that he is one that cares about peoplearound him. And more importantly, he is very manly.
He is observant of his surrounding; he is good at pumping up and creating a pleasant atmosphere.
When I am waiting for my turn to film, he will often chat with me, it is not only towards me, but he often chat with the other male actors too. He is attracting everyone with a presence of a leader. I feel that he is different from the male actors of the same age. As for his acting there is no need to say more, he is of course really good. (Laughs)
- What is your impression of Hong Jong Hyun?
We exchanged greeting several times before this, I heard that he is an honest and shy person. But upon meeting him, it wasn’t the case. He is also very humorous so we get close very quickly. When I heard that Hong Jong Hyun is going to play Rin, it catches my eye. After meeting him, I think he is an attentive and caring person, so he fits well with Rin. It feels like Rin is Hong Jong Hyun himself.
- The filming has just started not too long ago, are there any parts that you come out with suggestions for the drama?
I didn’t provide any special suggestions, but I chat a lot with the screenwriter sensei (teacher). We exchanged opinions on the hair styling and outfits. It seem like the screenwriter is able to understand what I mean even without me saying anything, so I am really thankful. I have trust in him, so I think that it will be great to act according to how he wrote (the role).
- In the movie ‘Confidential Assignment’, director Kim Sung Hoon praised you as ‘a female actress who has good pronouciation and who do not get stage fright’. As an actress, are there times when you get nervous infront of the camera?
It isn’t that. I do get nervous while filming too. But it seem that I have never been as nervous as I am for this project. I also have times that I said the wrong line because I was too nervous before filming. I think that I have never had that much NG before. I do not know why too, it seem like it isn’t because it is a historical drama that I got so nervous. If I know the reason in the future, I will tell you. (Laughs)
- Screenwriter praised you as ‘someone who devote yourself to acting without being conscious of how good you look (physically) in the end result’
Really? I am so happy! I no longer have thoughts of wanting to look pretty in the end result. While promoting as a singer in SNSD, how I will be presented in front of the camera, there are many occasions when I am asked to show a cuter side, so there are times I am conscious of how I turned out, but it isn’t as much as what people think.
- You look very pretty no matter how you are filmed
No no, it isn’t like this (Laughs). It is only recently that I begin to realize it too. I think that I am also a little influenced by ‘The K2’ and ‘Confidential Assignment’. When I am promoting as actress YoonA instead of SNSD YoonA, I am not conscious on whether I look cute or how I look in the end result, I wanted to showcase different sides of me. In the end, people around me told me that the end result turns out prettier when I stop being conscious.
- Director said, “YoonA is able to mix well with people in her surroundings, this is really good.â€
Yes~ Surprisedly there seem to be a certain fixed perception of me~ (Laughs).
- Are you saying that you are actually not such person?
Yes (Laughs)
Not only Im Siwan, but YoonA is also pretty afraid of the cold.
- What is the toughest part during filming?
For me, I am especially scared of cold. I tried not to go out as much as possible inwinter. But this year winter is very cold so it is much tougher. I feel like I will be able to act better than now even if the weather just get warmer by a little bit…. So it is a little disappointing, the weather is too cold.
As a measure against the cold weather, I wear winter clothing. As I am wearing Korean clothes’ pants, so it is slightly better (Laughs). But when I have to wear feminine clothing at a later time… I am worried about what to do.
- In term of places you like or food in Japan, are there any that are memorable?
I like Japan very much. Coincidentally, I was telling people around me today: “I really feel like going Japan~â€. I went to Tokyo several times and also had several concerts in different cities in Japan. The food are all so delicious no matter where I go, and the environment is really comfortable too.
- Your favorite Japanese cuisine is?
Too many~ Japanese tonkatsu sandwich (fried pork sandwich), crepe, yakiniku (grilled meat).
- Do you mean japanese styled grilled meat?
Yes. If i go to Nagoya, i will eat hitsumabushi (unagi rice), i also tried a lot of desserts in Tokyo, and bread too.
- Do you not diet?
Yes. I eat what I want. (Laughs)
- Going forward, what goals do you have as an actress?
Personally, I wish to achieve even more realistic acting, acting that does not make the audience feel unnatural.
I want to become that role, laughing and crying together, I wish to become an actress like this.
YoonA who responded honestly without any reservation throughout the interview just like what the other participating actors who said that she has a surprising forthright and easygoing personality. I am really looking forward to how she will portray the femme fatale, which makes 2 men turned into enemies in the drama.

Unpopular opinion coming through so I apologize in advance but here is my 2cents:
**Note: I am actually a fan of all 3 main actors, so don't misunderstand me***
Let's begin with the fact that the drama's name is ''The K2''. I thought it would follow the story of this soldier-turned-bodyguard. At the beginning, the writer was on point as we got to know JeHa and sympathized with him and his situation. And dare I say that YJ and Anna could also draw sympathy at different levels. However, as the episodes went on, JeHa did not mature as a character (nor did Anna) until recently: we seldom get to hear his thoughts. I feel that the writer became a bit too mindful of SYA as a Sunbae actress that he gave her character too much importance. It got a bit tiresome because we don't know JeHa or Anna as much as we know Choi YooJin. And that is paradoxal since the drama's name is the K2.
YJ is a very interesting, twisted character and I loooove that! I mean we know all about her inner thoughts, constantly learning about how she felt in the past, how she feels in the present, we know her devious mind all too well. She is a villain (she issues kill orders like she orders breakfast when it doesn't go her way) who still sees herself as a victim of her dad's actions. I don't have questions about her as a character because we got and still get plenty of answers about her life. But sadly we cannot say the same about JeHa or Anna, who could have been just as interesting if we'd seen more layers of their personality.
That's why I was glad when JeHa told YJ what he actually felt about her and that he would not give her the USB key. I was like: there you are JeHa! Finally, you speak up! (I knew that he was preparing something in the past episodes but his thoughts were not yet voiced to confirm it which is why maybe some were surprised by ep 14). Honestly, he could have said ''I want to be your chingu'' to YJ (which of course he wouldn't have because he is a stand-up character) and I would have still rejoiced! Because I would have been like ''ok at least now I know what you are thinking''.
JeHa and Anna have trust issues because lets face it, the guy never told her the truth about his past. And although she apologized for not telling him about going with her uncle at the time, JeHa has yet to tell her his real name, what he is doing and why, etc. Yes, he is doing it to protect her but he could have told her much more by now. Also about the President's son. He is a Doctor, the author could have easily made him a psychiatrist or something for Anna's character. It would have made him more prominent in the story and would have been good for Anna's treatment of PTSD. Instead now it just seem like another intrigue within the intrigue, I find.
Obviously this drama is very good in my opinion because it has me invested in the characters (although they do frustrate me at times haha) and that is a testament of the great acting by all involved. So kudos! But with a better writer, this story-line and plot could have been one of the best ever! The potential was all there, the acting, the chemistry among the cast was all there. Peace and have a great weekend!
Totally agreed with you. In fact many chinese, korean and international netizens have talk about it even sarcastically saying that this drama title should be called 'The Yoojin' or 'Madam Choi'
Many people also pointed out that Choi Yoojin has many inner thought session but both Jeha and Anna lacked that and resulted in some viewers could not understand why they did this and that.

The hairstyle and type of clothing Yoona would be wearing is that of Woohee from Scarlet Heart, as it's set during the Goryeo dynasty!

More here: http://kkuljaem.blogspot.com/2016/10/if-you-could-wear-clothing-from-past.html
I think it'll suit Yoona, so long as they don't give her 5:5 parting in the middle.I think 5:5 is okay if it is Joseon era. This is the closest Joseon era (hanbok and hairstyle wise) Yoona has done before for a CF. And she looks awesome!

However since it is set in Goryeo era we won't be seeing this haha. I think she will look fine as long as her role doesn't require those big hairstyle/headgear

new YoonYul fansite!!!
i think this is a SNSD with Yoona focus fansite?
Like her bio put 'for 소녀시대 임윤아' and her username actually put 8 (maybe for OT8) + 0530 (Yoona birthday)

There's rumours that Yoona will be going to San Roque, Spain on September 1 to film for K2!
They'll be going to Barcelona Airport, then travel to San Roque.
hate to break the news but actually this person is only saying that the next available flight from Seoul to Madrid, Spain by Korean air is on 1 Sep noon time.
not that Yoona is going there on 1 Sep.
of course she may go on 1 Sep in the end but just clarifying that this is not what the person who tweet that means haha

lol so she released in the company who invested $30million to promote SM music cos she's scared of charting on others who are not SM biased and Yoona stans are actually bragging about it.
http://technews.co/2016/02/14/alibaba-invests-us30-million-in-koreas-sm-entertainment/
Don't u think that's abit shameless?

Jealous and butthurt fans like you will of course see it as shameless
But people who know how it is done will know this is called exclusive
Im sorry that my bias's gift to fans with zero promotion still do well on charts whereas your bias movie and drama that are promoted so much flopped at the end

and you're ignoring that the company Alibaba favors + promotes SM's music and are business partners. There are quite a few charts in China and Yoona stans are only posting the chart that is SM biased. hmmm


Kami, that is because you are ignorant, don't you know that the album is exclusively released through Alibaba music?
Of course that will be the only site she chart since it is not available anywhere else.
Seriously like bias like fan, such a air head

'It has nothing to do with yoona' OH users said...



Slay Yoona..slay.

Kami... seriously are you really that dumb? Of course they are going to use Yoona photo as an example of korean celebrities working in China. Yoona has a drama there just air this year, and she is successful there SO OFCOURSE they are using her picture for an example.
No one say its has nothing to do with Yoona, but you are the one putting in your own (wrong) translation and act like your (google) translation are correct

Suzy won't like to have such a dumb fan like you
Suzy be like:

I don't know who kami is other than being regular poster here, but I gotta say you deserve applause for straightening the post about Yoona, especially if the original news doesn't mention her at all. Guys, it's not ok to target a certain celebrity let alone creating negative spotlight on them with lies.
Thing is, I often see yoona-haters claiming like how she's old or over her peak blahblahblah...like, uh no. She's 1990 born, so I can't understand how a woman in her 20s considered "old"???
To put it into perspective, Yoona and Seungri of Bigbang are the same age both are 25 going 26 this year. So it's beggars belief how people bash Yoona "old" and use it to justify their hatred. Like. No. Duh. Please don't use ageism people, and don't use lies to bash anyone. You're not cool or helping your bias when ypu do that, remember that what goes around- comes around. Someone would do it to your bias too one day if you do that.
Kami is famous for being a Yoona hater to the extent she will twist and add things herself to make Yoona looks bad.
exactly, i would have stay quiet if what she said is true but she is adding and twisting the fact so nope not staying quiet.

'It says even chinese ppl do not understand why koreans are starring in Chinese costume dramas and lip acting. That image...(shading Yoona's awkward acting)'
Again Yoona stans covering it up to mislead onehallyu users. It was dissing Yoona alright.

of course they are going to use Yoona photo she is the one that is most recently aired? lol the comment means that they don't think koreans are suitable for chinese dramas, they didn't comment anything on her acting though.
Kami pls stop lying, i know you wish Suzy to be half as popular as Yoona but sorry you didn't get your wish

ä¸€ç¾¤è¿žä¸æ–‡éƒ½å¬ä¸æ‡‚的韩国人穿ç€ä¸å›½å¤ä»£çš„æœè£…å¯¹å£åž‹æ¼”æˆï¼Œé‚£ç”»é¢
by the way this sentence means 'a bunch of koreans who can't even understand chinese yet wear chinese period drama costume and just lip acting, that scenario
KAMI YOU SURE YOU CAN READ CHINESE? CAUSE YOU TRANSLATE THE FIRST PART WRONG LMAO.
ANY CHINESE OUT THERE WILL BE ABLE TO TELL WHO IS THE RIGHT TRANSLATION
EDIT: I can't believe Kami actually use google translate and think what she translate is correct. so embarassing lol

Today's articles:

Source:
http://toutiao.com/a6313142030748123393/
China's government for Radio Film and TV (SARFT) is planning to restrict/ban Korean artists making money in China. TV Stations like HunanTV will start restricting Korean celebrities appearing on broadcast. The article claims Korean celebrities are greedy 'fishing for gold', poor attitude like BIGBANG's Seungri's train incident and arrogant/rude kpop fandoms.
In another article, the chinese are sick of seeing Song Joong Ki everywhere and idols like KiBum and Yoona's poor acting ruining their C dramas. They will only support patriotic national Chinese idols like Lay and Victoria.
Cnetz reaction


Huang An (The man behind Tzuyu's scandal) is ofc delighted...

This is what Kami have been saying to naive kpop stans. OH users need to get off their high horses when it comes to their bias's popularity in China. Your korean favs are doomed there in the long run. Kpop companies like SM better come up with another plan.

By the way i read both articles, there are 0 mention of Yoona's poor acting and even Kibum too. The article (rumor) wrote about potential restricting korean celebrities appearing in China's TV but didnt mention Yoona's poor acting so that one is made up by Kami who is jealous of Yoona's success where her fav will never ever.

i doubt its true with china and korea having numerous joint collaboration in terms of dramas and movies.
however, i do agree limiting the amount of korean artists active in China Tv/movie since too much isnt that good
but lol at Kami posting this
