what was that scene where won was pretending to be drunk yet the king still saw throught it? like he suddenly became soft and affectionate and even calling him "son"? I thought he hated the crown prince? Or was it just an act that he hate him?...or did i just misunderstood that scene?

I need to spazz about this drama, which I am LOVING.

 

These first eps, while not perfect, are setting up what promises to be such a rich and compelling story. Song Jina does characters well, and it shows. The King In Love is all about its characters--and you care, because the characters feel tangible and real. I feel like this extends to the other major supporting characters, and not just the core trio of Won, San, and Rin. At the moment, my two fave supporting characters are Song In and King Chungryeol. 

 

King Chungryeol is definitely not a good king, based on what we have seen, and he doesn't seem to be a good father as well. But his relationship with Won is so intriguing. He seems to both hate and love (albeit grudgingly?) Won at the same time. There is disgust and fear, there, too. But what I love is that he recognizes that Won is not who he projects himself to be. He KNOWS Won has depths he hides from the world. Yet I don't know just how he feels about this "real" Won. I want to see more of that relationship.

 

Song In is definitely this world's Littlefinger. He's the one pulling the strings, but we don't know why (yet). But he's so charismatic onscreen that I want to see more of him. I like my villains smart, because what is the point of heroes triumphing over a stupid bad guy? So I am stoked that Song In seems to be just that.

 

I also wanna talk a bit about Minister Eun, who we see loves San so much, but who, according to character descriptions, is also corrupt/evil. So I am waiting for the moment for when that tension erupts, and when San learns who/what her father really is.

 

But really, this show is ALL ABOUT Won, San, and Rin. Their dynamic is front and center, and I am TREMBLING TO PIECES waiting to explore this tangled relationship to the end of its tether. LIKE GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH. All the ingredients for such a meaty and rich story are there: love, trust, friendship, jealousy, guilt, secrets, ANGST. I don't normally like angst, but this angst is shaping to be so heart wrenchingly beautiful, I am prepared to go along for the ride.

 

You really can't have this story without the three of them. Won is the central, main character, and he is most fleshed at this point, but this story is about how he becomes the King as shaped by the two biggest forces in his life: his greatest friend, and his greatest love. Only two forces, because these are the only two he has let "in" his wall. Won is a superb character, and his "Janus" description actually simplifies the layers of Won's torment. He is to be king, and is used to taking things (and people?) as his right, but he also thinks he is undeserving, but feels that he should deserve the crown, which is why he is working so hard behind the scenes. Siwan is so, so, so great at this role. It's subtle, but he really imbibes Won so much. Currently, he is acting the best, imo. Yoona and Jonghyun are good, don't get me wrong. But Siwan is just brilliant. And I fervently hope that the more scenes among them would bring out the greatness in the two, because it is there. The chemistry is there! The foundation is there! Just the spark is needed!

 

Yoona does bold characters really well, so I think San suits her. At this point, though, we know about San's inner thoughts/conflicts the least. She seems happy and well-adjusted, but there is that brimming sense of aborted purpose. I hope that this side is explored more as her character expands. Right now, she is merely an object--of Won's intrigue, Rin's childhood crush, the villain's plot. But her character has been established as a go-getter so I expect/hope that to change soon, especially when they made it a point to show that 12-yr-old San was badass enough to pick up a sword against hired assassins and focus on the snake tattoo on black mask's hand. You just know that she is about to do something. I can't wait.

 

But Rin, Rin, Rin. I have never, ever second-lead shipped, but I may just do that with this show, because Riiiiiin. First to see San, but too late to hold her hand. Helped San on the bridge, but got left hanging (literally, lol) as Won and San made moony eyes at each other (still so funny hahaha). Rin seems to be set up as the passive second lead, but I doubt that. We have seen that he is sharper than he first appears to be, and that he is actually active in helping Won with whatever the latter needs. He is utterly, utterly, devoted to Won, and I love that about him. His father actively cautioned him against being Won's actual friend, but he dove into that role and never looked back. Even now, when he thinks of or does something for San, it is because of Won. But he is also keeping a big secret from Won, and this secret is about something that fundamentally shaped Won in his childhood. Oh, the possibilities! Hong Jonghyun, to me, is perfect as Rin. I love his stoic facade, and his little smirks, and his swoon, delicate hands hahaha.

 

BUT THIS TRIO. The possibilities are endless. I am immensely enjoying their bickering, lighthearted dynamic, but I am ready for the show to spoil us with their rich, layered, friendship/love entanglement. Because Won has never been intrigued by anybody as he is by San (and has never had anybody he was devoted to, except Rin), and Rin has never coveted anything Won has or wanted, except, maybe now. And the question remains: what does San want???

 

Anyway, I have spewed enough. This show is certainly not perfect (I have a few gripes with editing and continuity), but that hasn't dimmed down the excitement when I watch (and I have watched the episodes multiple times). I can only hope that the show continues to play on its strengths and that it gets better and better. It doesn't seem to be a "buzzy" show, but it is so, so, solid. And for the first time in a long time, I want to talk about a drama. hahaha. Anyway, last word: it is super super interesting that it is Won who first repeatedly pushed Rin to get closer to San (Foreshadowing??? Show, please be smart!!!!)

 

thanks for sharing this. i agree with all of your points. the king totally knows won is a smart-ass and has a lot of hidden agenda up in his sleeves that's why i got confused whether he loves or hates that side of him but he definitely fears it. 

 

note that in the novel, rin and san were more of the bickering-duo while won is the calmest person but that's not the case in the drama. i think it's a smart move to change that. with him being the comical one right now, it will make his character even more conflicting when he gets crazy in the later parts. i'm so excited for that!  

 

ngl, it's a bit hard to concentrate when scenes of won-san-rin come up. i get taken aback with their visuals for real lol. also, no one talks about the queen but i strangely love her. i love a powerful woman.

So am I the only one not on board for rin/san ship? Like I'm not feeling it. Atleast won and san have a cute bickering sort of relationship. I just don't feel much of anything from rin, aside from smaller rin's cuteness, and HJH is not helping the case by having an almost expressionless face throughout. Sometimes even a expressionless face can get across hundred emotions, but in HJH's case, that's not the case. Maybe I'm judging too early and he will surprise me, though I'm not holding my breath. I have not read the novel and it seems a lot of you have, but maybe if they wanted rin/san ship to sail, they should have casted a more talented actor. Rin is more than just nice and seems to have a lot of layers underneath the friendship, which is resentment even to an extent. I felt that from the little rin a bit, but not getting that complex feeling from HJH. Sorry to HJH's fans. No hard feelings. I just see the potential for rin, but I'm not swayed by HJH's acting, or lack thereof in certain cases in getting across these emotions. 

maybe bc i've seen him act much worse before that i appreciate him a bit now. reading the full summary of the novel here, i questioned his casting initially bc i doubt he could handle rin at all but watching the drama and seeing how they modified him a bit, i realized why they picked him. it's because he's good at making expressionless face lol. i've watched the most recent movie he filmed prior to mlshr and i hard time believing he was in love with the female lead since non of his acting showed it. tho i did not finish mlshr but with the scenes i've seen him, he was still bad at it. trust me he actually improved in this drama lol.

 

 

At the moment, I ship San and meat buns.

 

I think what is interesting is that San has not shown any particular emotion that would indicate more than a liking preference for either man.. With Won, though she is cautious and constantly bickering but in pauses you can see that she does not dislike him. With Rin, she seems more please with his manners but again shows no preference beyond mere courtesy.

 

I'm sure the writer isn't following the book based on the media interviews and promos. But I'm curious about the following

 

1. Official relationship chart does not show who San loves

2. Official push of San Won otp but yet chart does not clearly show that.

3. One poster shows more Won hugging or trying to capture San but her expression isn't so much of one in love. I mean if they love each other, she probably should be facing him?

4. The statement of Won saying this is the story of me who loves you more than myself. Now this came out at the scene that he met San so I take it that he meant San. so it means sacrifice to come?

 

If they publicize this as drama a triangle and has no promo of San Rin, then why not make the chart clear. Would it not then be clear that Rin is the standard 3rd wheel that the female lead does not love. The promos also did not make it seem like she can't decide between 2 men.

 

I need to run, will continue this later. I have my theory of what may come.

 

i dunno but i'm sold that san and rin will still end up together. in the 2 released posters of won-san, san is not looking at won and even at their still cuts way before, there was no love at san's eyes at all. i just think that the push around wonsan is a way to mess with the viewers. also considering yoona and siwan's popularity, it makes sense to make much noise around them. if it's still gonna end with rinsan, it would make the drama's constant narrative more credible where they would describe it as a tragic love story between the leads. remember during their last filming days, they released a pics and vids with rinsan together then wondan the day after. idk maybe it's a reach but i'm taking it as a hint for now.

 

there were similar pics and vids of these from other staffs but i forgot which one who posted wondan

@shutupihateyou

I won't say what i think the ending will be but i don't think this will be a typical triangle love story.

But

 

 

You were right. I think Won married Dan which is the same as the book i heard.

 

 

 

 

 

Same. Suddenly i remember that there was a pic of a desert in the director's IG. it's highly possible that they included the scenes in taklamakan desert. That was an interesting location in the novel. I think one could guess how the drama will go if they filmed those scenes. But no one knows how they much they modified the drama afterall so i still think it's too early for me to conclude the ending as well. even the director told yoona to stop reading the novel since it's gonna be heavily dramatized anyway.

 

but if you're interested to read it, one user made a full summary of it here.

Oh, do you mind telling me where I can read the summary?

backtrack a few pages back then join eMopRiNc3ss69x's message group.  

 

Hello guys,

 

I just checked out the rating and kinda surprised how it dropped to 6%? Even though I have yet to watch the whole drama, I've got all the short clips played because I am kinda tied with my piling working tasks and on last monday and tuesday, I couldnt find the subbed version of the eps. Regardless, I found the drama very interesting and enjoyable and the review was good for all of the stakeholders.

 

Speaking of which, anyone got any explanation why the rating dropped? and can it possibly bounce back to better rating this week??

 

One more, if I have some spare post-working and during lunch break, any suggestion where can I watch the subbed eps?

 

 

Thank Youuu

 

it was the last ep of my sassy girl so it was expected that a lot would check out on it. not too sure about this week's rating since it will also be the pilot ep for falsify. from its plot and cast, it's highly possible that a lot would tune on that drama.

7. [+290, -16] WonSanRin’s visual are all on point. Their visuals ar the best. Personally I feel the props are costly.

8. [+291, -22] Everyone are looking good and their acting are so good too. It gets more and more interesting. Each character has their own distinctiveness, not only WonSanRin but even the villians do not overlap with one another.

9. [+291, -23] If only the political plot is inserted right from first episode, the feeling is getting stronger now

10. [+277, -19] WonSanRin this 3 roles matched well, thus it is easy to to immerse in. First of all, the script is really interesting. Rating please go up!!

11. [+240, -13] It doesn’t feel strange looking at Won’s lines. But the more you mull over, the scarier it gets ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Really, every character has their own charms, the story’s appeal is no joke, why is everyone not watching this drama?

12. [+220, -10] The way Won look at San is really lovely. I am curious how this love can turn into an obsession.

13. [+237, -18] It is so fun ã… ã… ã…  When San cried I cried along too. After looking at the preview, how am I going to spend waiting for this whole week ã… 

14. [+208, -12] Really I do not know where time has gone to when watching the show. Mon-Tues is ‘The King In Love’

15. [+209, -14] After watching the 30 minutes special broadcast, I stick to the live broadcast since yesterday. It is so fun I like this kind of story plot and cinematography.

1. [+546, -30] â€˜The King In Love’ is so fun. Yoong is so pretty

2. [+473, -21] The scenes are so pretty

3. [+471, -36] YoonA’s acting is really good~ ‘The King In Love’ is so fun

4. [+418, -23] The backdrop is so beautiful, it is so fun

5. [+398, -21] He has fallen in totally~

6. [+223, -13] Honestly, I have watch one episode and more for all the Mon-Tues dramas, and ‘The King In Love’ is the most interesting one. Don’t criticise just because it is idol actors, I hope you will at least watch once before talking.

7. [+199, -8] Im Siwan’s eyes expression are really good, but it is normal to be so if it is YoonA (you are looking at), because she is really very pretty

8. [+187, -4] To be honest when I first know that this drama is about to air, I was still saying like is it going to be fun if it is acted by Im YoonA, Im Siwan & Hong Jong Hyun…? (Not saying that these actors aren’t good, but I just feel that they are not veteran actors who have built up their skills through accumulated years and hardwork for me to have enough faith) But when I heard that the scriptwriter is Song Jina, I decided that I should give it a chance so I started watching since the first broadcast up til now, and I knew my choice is right. Of course I know that the script is going to be good so I was not worrying about that. What surprised me is that the directing is also very good and the main casts’ acting are really good too. YoonA and Hong Jong Hyun’s acting improved a lot. The chemistry is daebak.

9. [+179, -4] What are you going to do, Won and Rin? San is truly full of charmsã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ But really what are the two of them going to do from now on?

10. [+174, -8] The background music of ‘The King In Love’ is so good, up til now it is so fun ã…Žã…Žã…Žã…Žã…Ž

1. [+992, -96] A very interesting drama. Even looking forward more to next week!!!

2. [+861, -88] It would have been better if the first week started out with tension like this week too. Looking at how this week’s rating start increasing again, it is indeed fun.

3. [+803, -82] Gradually sinking into that Eun San only has Won. Rin become more and more pitiful ã… ã… 

4. [+747, -85] Definitely the previous work is also like this, the story is good and as the story develops, the rating will surely increase too…ㅎ

5. [+754, -94] This is a drama that as long as you watch once you will never be able to drift away from it. ã… ã…  The chemistry between the actors are needless to say. The story plot, the directing and all are the best too. There is a special broadcast on Thursday 11.10. Anyone who have not watch it and then join the live broadcast!!

6. [+253, -28] Really fun. WonSan is good, RinSan is also good but it is indeed the most fun when the 3 of them are together~~

7. [+248, -30] I guess because it is a pre-production hence it seem a lot of effort is put into the editing. They also take feedback seriously, the making film is also released right after a live broadcast ends~~

8. [+245, -33] There are still a lot of things to take care of so it is not right if Won is going to change for the worse… He should have linger around more with San.. it is getting more and more interesting~^^ how do I wait until next week?

9. [+227, -30] It is slowly getting more and more interesting, seem like it is doing well

10. [+214, -26] Won couldn’t prevent San’s mother from being killed due to his momentary misjudgement while Rin’s own brother is the conspirator. Both of them feel guilt towards San. Right now they thought she is the loyal maid of the madam who died and the daughter who is left with a scar while shielding her, how will they react when they know the truth?

11. [+170, -14] I am curious about San’s point of view. Even though it has not reach the point yet, but as expected the one San like is Won or Rin?

12. [+167, -15] This is really daebak kind of interesting, for people who have not watch it please watch it I am sure you won’t regret.~~

That and the way he fought with that one guy during practice, while remembering San's words (of throwing his permission to kill him to a dog) dun dun dun...

 

If it doesn't have the logo and the episodes aren't numbered with the new system it's the viki version, otherwise it's the MBC version. There's not much difference between the two, sometimes they show the scenes in a different order and MBC adds bits of childhood flashbacks but you're not missing that much, I still prefer MBC's tho

 

I found the Vlive, sad it doesn't have subs (yet?)

exactly.

7. [+342, -25] This drama is insane. The actors all have visuals and acting skills. The cinematography and the story plot are all really good. Today Won and San’s loveline is jjiang. When Rin said ‘she is my woman’ wow… do watch this drama, you will regret if you didn’t.

8. [+325, -21] Wa~ Really, the story plot of ‘The King In Love’ is getting more and more interesting.

i ship rinsan in the novel and i thought i was going for them all through out in the drama too but the in last few episodes, just when won is starting to show his dark side, i can't help but getting swayed with wonsan ship. this is bad. rlytearpls.png

i just finished ep 13 and 14 but i have to work so i'll catch up with the remaining ones later. seriously, i feel like combusting at every ending scene of their eps. they always make the viewers want more. why are they so good with that?! warstarplz.png

 

and luna's ost keeps on lingering on me. it was short but it's alr beautiful. i really agree that the music dept is doing such a fantastic work and love it how well they flawlessly insert their music in their scenes. some romance dramas just suddenly shoves their cringey-ass osts and it really ruins the mood for me. 

 

:O

sadly we dont have that channel here thats insane though. you're so lucky warstarplz.png

we don't have that channel too but i think a lot on my tl has. i'm jealous that they can spazz immediately. such a pain to wait for eng subs. always me dodging spoilers on twitter:

i finally caught up. I was originally a rinsan shipper before but more and more eps, i can't help but to fall for wonsan. Realistically speaking tho, wonsan ship is a ticking time bomb. When won gets darker, i wonder how many of us will still abode this ship lol. I'm not too sure of myself either. Even now won has been wanting to lock up san. Even tho how he wishes it to be beautiful, that's just outright selfish lbr. Knowing san, she won't sit still with that. Keep in mind that won still has yet to show a lot of darker side of him.

Even as a wonsan shipper, rinsan is too strong in this drama imo. Notice how slowly they're building them up. They have the most classic kdrama heart fluttering scenes like cleaning the wound, holding in the waist etc. Even san is wavering and won notices that. Wonsan is just won looking out for san lbr. That scene when dan was slyly reminding san that she's gonna be the crown princess, san smiled so genuinely and that was unfiltered happiness for them. I hate to say this but as the drama progresses, it's getting clearer that san is just friendzoning won lol. Yet i'm still falling for them. Won's love is sad, twisted and so beautiful at the same time. Oh my heart rlytearpls.png

i feel bad for the queen. i like her sm. warstarplz.png

 

 

I don't think they'll make Won as dark as in the novel anymore, not with only 3 weeks left.

Ugh I really don't want an open ending D:

same here. i was being patient for too long, but i don't think what i'm expecting is happening but i guess we'll see his "change" on the next ep after he saw rinsan kissing. tho it did not have the same scene and had different circumstances but in the novel when won came back from his trip, seeing them being intimate was kind of the turning point for him. i think that would be same for the drama as well. 

 

honestly i'm not closing my doors for an open ending. i'm mentally preparing for it lol. if wonsan ain't gonna happen in the drama, i rather want san go solo (sorry rinsan. guess i'm too biased for siwan) or marry biyeon perhaps. mooseok is a smooth talker but he does not deserve a ball of fluff like her.

For the people who waited for this drama since 2016, how did you find it overall?

 

I liked sme things and disliked others. The ending was just about what I expected.

 

i'm late but i just finished it. honestly i'm disappointed how everything wrapped-up. i REALLY had HIGH expectations last year since the casting until the 1st half of the drama. my bad, i shouldn't have. rlytearpls.png i've been saying that i was a wonsan shipper in the drama but with few more eps left to air, i had time to rewatch the older ones back then and it hit me how sloppy the love lines for a certain pair were done. it was actually pointless to pick sides imo. i think the drama just wants to show how everybody loves everybody from the start but i guess that made the viewers confused? i have high patience in me so with a sliver of hope, i thought they would pump up the politics for the remaining eps instead and miraculously could pull up the slack but no, it got even sloppier and left me more dissatisfied. i'm mad. the 1st half was almost perfect. among the side characters, i felt the waste on songin's character the most. the build-up on him was good. he initially wanted to free goryeo from yuan to help the poor by having a better monarchy with a full-blooded royal king. but i guess that was hard to push with the little time they have so he just turned to be a typical villain, greedy for power instead. it was hard for me to believe how he went nuts when the medicine girl died. that's not like him at all! their love wasn't that even developed in the drama. ok but most of all, i'm mad how won's character turned out. a dark won was a lie and they lured me out good. i should just watch his new movie to cleanse me lol. really tho, i was also low-key waiting for that scene where won actually hid san and san slashing him for lying. that could have spiced up their characters........

 

ngl, if not for the leads, i could have dropped this already. still, the actors did great and props to all the staff for filming under harsh weather. the sceneries in the drama was great too. i refuse to praise the writer tho. excuse me for my rants. i'm actually relieved the drama finally ended.

 

lastly, i'm gonna miss these trio. they have been one of my fav castings for a drama ahmagahplz.png
