The King Loves - Unspoiled Review

“The King Loves” is a beautiful story of love, friendship, and sacrifice.  The political strategies and motivations can get a bit murky at times, so if royal intrigue isn’t your thing, you may find parts of this drama frustrating.  Sacrifice and unrequited love are major themes throughout this drama, which can make it emotionally heavy at times. so if you are looking for light and happy, you might put this one on a back burner.  But this cast does an outstanding job and the friendship between Won and Rin is one of the sweetest bromances I’ve seen.  This drama also stands out as one that breaks kdrama norms to tells a unique and touching story. I give “The King Loves” an 8 out of 10 ramen.
