The King's Affection

Having discovered the remarkable talent of Park Eun-bin in EXTRAORDINARY. ATTORNEY WOO, I have begun following her filmography, This is the second of her series that I have watched. This woman is a chameleon! Because an actor paints from the palette of their own life experience, look and mannerisms, (which, unfortunately, can lead to a person playing themself in all their roles), It is very seldom that you find a performer that disappears into a character. Eun-bin is that rare reformer. Her portrayal of twins in this piece was flawless. Her performance won her 3 KBS Awards and 1 Nomination. The story was laced with tension and pathos. This binge rob me of sleep as I bargained with myself, “just one more episode…” (which was as successful as the false promise of “one more peanut”). The historical detail was fascinating for a westerner. The morality was surprising in a brutal ancient time. I give this series a 9 (thoroughly enjoyable) out of 10. [Perieod Drama]

==**Tens Tens Tens across the board**== A serie that restored my faith on historical dramas after watching so many failed hard. I don't agree with the rest of comments, this was a high production, very well acted and a great adaptation of the original webtoon. The higlight? Eunbi ate the whole serie with her acting and seeing Rowoon growing up his acting after the hard work he has put into it makes me a proud mom; makeup, costumes, setting and direction were flawless. If you like melodrama meets crossdressing meets joseon then this is gonna be your jam! My rating: 9.5/10
