Hang ah was interrogated by the Chinese police (he spoke Korean) and then they put her in prison. Apparently those Chinese were John’s contacts.

They’re keeping Hang Ah behind bar and she knew she’d be there for more than a day. To kill time, Hang Ah just did some body exercise.

She might try to be strong, but in the end she was still a woman. She was imagining Jae Ha was by her side, holding her tight in that lonely and cold jail. Hang Ah could only cried alone.

Meanwhile Jae Ha was also restless in Korea. He still looked for diplomatic approach to sue John and rescue Hang Ah.

On the other part of South Korea, Shi Kyeong looked for his father and they spent time fishing together. He was already able to speak casually again and smiled again to his father. Shi Kyeong said “You are you, while I am me.” Mr.Eun noticed something strange in his son’s words, but their conversation was distracted by the moving fish bait.

Jae Ha was still having meeting Korean highers when Yeom came in and informed him that Shi Kyeong was going to China and even submitted his ressignation letter. But Jae Ha didn’t let him. Shi Kyeong was upset by his King’s decision that he hurriedly came to the imperial office and asked to meet Jae Ha. But he was forbade to go inside.
“Why are you doing this to me?” asked Shi Kyeong angrily from outside the door. He was like going to be a martyr to china in order to pay back his father’s mistake. Shi Kyeong asked if the reason Jae Ha was preventing him to do what his planning to do was because he worried about him and thought of him as a friend. “But I never think of you as a friend.” For Shi Kyeong, Jae Ha was always be his King.

Shi Kyeong was so desperate. Then he surprisingly shouted out “Lee Jae Ha! Here I’m calling you as a friend.” Hearing his name was casually called by his soldier, Jae Ha came out of his room, “What? Lee Jae Ha??” Shi Kyeong was asking Jae Ha to let him do the right thing as a friend, if not as the King. He asked Jae Ha to let him go to China and he promised to be back. Jae Ha finally agreed, but they needed to do it with strategy.
They ended up studying many documents to prepare Shi Kyeong’s leaving to China.

Then Jae Ha asked him to meet Jae Shin before he left for China. Shi Kyeong was kind of asking a possibility if he could express his feelings not as a guard to his Princess, but as a human to human. “What human to human?” said Jae Ha, “It got to be a man towards a woman.” Shi kyeong kept asking him, and Jae Ha’s answer was by action. He made a call telling the court ladies to be dismissed from around Jae Shin because Eun Shi Kyeong needed to talk to the Princess in private.

Jae Shin was brought and then left in the garden. She was panic when Shi Kyeong came approaching her because she knew Shi Kyeong heard everything after the hypnotism. She still felt terrible for being the cause of her own brother death. Shi Kyeong touched her hand, trying to sooth the crying Jae Shin. He also told her about his father’s issue. Jae Shin was crying desperately again.

Shi Kyeong piggyback Jae Shin walking accross the garden. They’re making promises to do many things in the future. Shi Kyeong finally put her back to her wheel chair and said that she should start singing again. Shi Kyeong was still kneeling after helping Jae Shin had a proper sit when Jae Shin suddenly gave him a quick kiss on his cheek.

To anyone surprise, Shi Kyeong just spontaneously kissed Jae Shin passionately. It took him few seconds to realize the moment and hurriedly pulled himself back and said “I am very sorry. I’m very sorry.” Jae Shin just blushing and said, “What do you mean?” Shi Kyeong just nervously strolled the Princess leaving the garden.

Jae Ha finally came down to meet Mr.Eun, telling him that he’s sending Shi Kyeong away which made himself seemed like a bad guy. He asked Mr.Eun to come back again to his post in the imperial work. But Mr.Eun asked the King to let him ask for forgiveness from the Queen Mother before he started his work again. It’s still hard for the old lady to even see Mr.Eun’s face now, but she could take it by the time.

Jae Ha was talking to his brother’s painting, which was the diary video recorder that would automatically be on if Jae Ha said a particular word as a kind of password. Seeing the recording device, Jae Ha suddenly realized something. Then suddenly The King was holding a press conference. He’s announcing to the public about the case of King Jae Kang’s death. Jae Ha clearly said it was a murder and he showed them the record video of the moment when Jae Ha was meeting John. It was the moment when John clearly admit his own crime killing the late King Jae Kang.In the same time, Mr.Eun was handing a nation’s petition to an international organization.

John’s man was planning to kill John to take over Club M. He noticed John had become uncontrolable and in disadvantage situation after Je Ha’s announcement. John heard the conversation and he didn’t have to hesitate killing that man.

Shi Kyeong was trying to break into John’s house and then got caught by the creepy woman. Shi Kyeong’s plan did work. He was kept a hostage and was tortured.

Hang Ah was treated by a doctor when she made a sudden attack and made the doctor as a hostage. She managed to made a call Jae Ha to inform him where she’s about.

Jae Ha together with his military and some of the North’s soldier came down to that spesific prison Hang Ah informed him. But Hang Ah was no here to be found when the South- Noth military were trying to save her. Hang Ah was kept in silence by a pointing gun at her. Hang Ah managed to screamed out Jae Ha’s name and Jae Ha heard it. He was running into the building where Hang Ah’s sound came from. But the Chinese officers were moving Hang Ah. Jae Ha saw Hang Ah on the move. HAng Ah fought the guys and tried to escape, but one guard shot her.

Jae Ha witnessed the incident, Hang Ah fell down and her blood was dripping into the floor. Thankfully they only got her feet. Jae Ha just cried and held her tight. China was of course cornered because of this incident.

Club M decided to use Shi Kyeong. John was offering Shi Kyeong a position. What John knew was that Shi Kyeong came to him for a revange after finding out about his father and Jae Ha was dismissing him too. John was taking the bait, but Shi Kyeong still played hard to lure.

Hang Ah woke up and instantly asked for Jae Ha to his father. When Jae Ha came, she just started talking about they should get John right away. She looked very traumatic all that happened to her. Hang Ah cried on Jae Ha’s arms.

The Chinese man who’s working with John was cornered by Jae Ha and Hang Ah’s father. John was asked to leave the country. So John thought there’s no other way but to persuade Shi Kyeong to join him.

Jae Ha was sharing the information about Shi Kyeong’s plan to Hang Ah.

Shi Kyeong was tortured  but finally he agreed to lure Jae Ha for the appointment that was set by John. Jae Ha was sending Hang Ah to Korea, despite Hang Ah’s worry. “The person i’m meeting is none other than Eun Shi Kyeong,” said Jae Ha. Then he promised Hang Ah that everything would be okay.

Jae Ha came to the meeting point, but the place was surrounded by many snipers and Shi Kyeong had actually been wired, so he had no chance but to follow the game. He asked Jae Ha to drive with him, Jae Ha agreed. Jae Ha was brought to John, who was waiting for him by the cliff.

What a strange place to have a meeting. Hang Ah suddenly decided to go back.
Shi Kyeong was pointing a gun to Jae Ha.

Through this video I get the pictures about Lee Jae Ha (Lee Seung Gi) and Kim Hang Ah (Ha Ji Won) personalities more clearly. and I can guess a  little about the main conflict on this drama.

For Ha Ji Won and Seung Gi, two thumbs up for them. Their acting are really good that I can’t feel the age gap between them, Ha Ji Won with her aegyeo looked so cute, and Lee Seung Gi so deep on his mature role.

Beside uploading her photos from location, on her account she also wrote “Tadaa…I’m a instructor Kim Hang Ah from Korean Republic’s sniper brigade, nice to meet you everyone!!”

On the picture she was wearing the heavy military uniform, looked so excited with her brightly smile. Maybe she can’t wait for March 21st, neither can I…

Some pictures were published from behind the scene “The King 2 Hearts”. Most of the photos showed the main actors, Lee Seung Gi and Ha Ji Won playing around and teasing another actors or crew.

Can’t believe that the duet of Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi could be so cute. For those who watched 2Days1Night Season or Strong Heart must have known that Seung Gi has fun characteristic. And Ha Ji Won was not a type of smug-lady-like either. Despite her “mature” age, she could have lots fun too. Ahhh, just can’t wait to start watching their drama.

For totality and to make the scene looked realistic , MBC’s drama “The King 2Hearts” for military scenes use authentic military equipment. When filming took place on Jeju island revealed that guns that Ha Ji won and Lee Seung Gi held are genuine, even for the helmet and military vest.

Those military things came from the state-of-the-art MILES (Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System) which usually used for the real South Korea military training and operation.

Holding the real weapons and feel the cold weather along the shot, did not make Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi let their passion down, they kept vigorous and enjoyed every scene. We could see it from their sparkling faces.

More stills from “The King 2Hearts” filming process surfaced. This time is for Ha Ji Won’s fighting scene. The shot took place at Gyeonggi, on March 10th. This scene is for Kim Hang Ah (Ha Ji Won) who takes part on fighting championship. She beat off her colleagues to win the competition.

For this scene Ha Ji Won showed her skill on martial art technique, like kicking, smacking, and punching. Is Gil Ra Im back????

Eventhough she worked hard for 7 hours non stop and without stunt double, she did  the whole dangerous movements by herself without hesitation, she never complained. She’s tired but still showed her professionalism,  looked enthusiastic and excited during the filming.

On this drama that will be released on March 21st, Ha Ji Won will show two different personalities, as the bold special elite soldier and as the elegant woman who will be arranged marriage with royal family member, prince Lee Jae Ha (Lee Seung Gi).

Today (March 8th) at Imperial Palace Hotel, Seoul, MBC’s most anticipated drama “The King 2Hearts” held the press conference. This drama was planned to be airing start on March 14, but due to the labor strike it’s delayed until March 21. The main characters from this black rom-com drama attended on this event, they were Lee Seung Gi, Ha Ji Won, Lee Yoon Ji , Jo Sung Seok, and Yoon Jae Moon.

I think the costume theme for this afternoon press conference was light elegant. Seung Gi appeared clean and neat with that black suit. And that hair cut really do much for him, he looks more mature.  Ha Ji Won wore green mini dress with pink laces heels, which I found it a bit color mismatch. And the humble green dress made her necklace took over the attention.

Lee Yoon Ji who always being bold on every red carpet ceremony with her sexy gown, this time she appeared in mini dress, but more cheerful than Ha Ji Won’s. I like this dress, with very low chest and  the purple-blue beads.

On the interview Ha Ji Won was asked about her younger co-worker, Lee Seung Gi. She said she was happy when she heard that she’s going to work with Seung Gi. As an actor, she had wanted to work together with him. She also said that this drama needed a very hard work more than she thought and working with Lee Seung Gi the feelings was nice. It was fun and comfortable. And it’s down to kiss scene, she was surprised that Lee Seung Gi could be so mature for his age.

But Seung Gi stays Seung Gi. No matter how much he has grown up and being mature, he’s still the young man who is full of fun. Just look at this picture.

On March 7th, MBC revealed the second video teaser for “The King 2Hearts”. More tense, action, comedy, and even tears show up in here.  Le Jae Ha just typical spoiled prince and i think it’s not the new thing for Lee Seung Gi, since he played really good on “Brilliant Legacy” (2009). and Ha Ji Won on military uniform is getting bold.

But there’s a bad news, due to labour union strike in Korea that has been happening these days  brings some effect for schedule of a couple dramas, including “The Moon that Embrace The Sun” that has to delay the last episode because the director also involved on that strike.  And it means “The King 2Hearts” has to re-schedule until March 21st.

There are people (the labour) who are struggling for their rights so this time I should not complain for this delay, keep fighting for everyone!!! So, just for a while, let’s enjoy this brief video..

second trailer:

On March 7th, MBC published the first poster from “The King 2Hearts”. The poster shows two main characters, prince Lee Jae Ha (Lee Seung Gi) and the North soldier Kim Hang Ah (Ha Ji Won).

I love this poster, when Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi transformed into a royal couple, especially i love their passion in here. This couple is so graceful. Ha Ji Won wears the the dress that the duchess or a lady usually wears and absolutely with the tiny cute hat, simple and elegant. While Lee Seung Gi looked so handsome and dashing with his royal uniform. He reminds me of Prince William, but with  more hair here…

This fiction drama will be portraying the royal family ‘s life in South Korea monarchy constitutional with their problem to survive the 21st century. Similar issue we saw on “Goong”.

Actually this drama is planned to begin airing on March 14th, but due to busy schedule these days because so many important events happen in Korea, “The King 2Hearts” is likely to be postponed, but i hope it will never happen. They’re still on the prime schedule.
