The Story

 

As the crown prince during the Goryeo Dynasty, Wang Won's primary job is to act as a bridge between Goryeo's people and the Emperor of Yuan.  To his parents, he has been a pawn in their volatile relationship.  His only friend is a royal cousin who became Won's constant companion when they were young.  But that friendship is put to the test when the two young men meet San;  a bold and beautiful young woman with a mysterious past.  What happens when best friends fall for the same woman and can their friendship survive the outcome?

Should I Watch

 

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.
