One year ago today, The King Loves aired their finale. Time really flies. I still remember the days when I was desperately finding the international version after I finish watching the Korean version…
Happy 1st anniversary, The King Loves! Thanks for giving me this precious friendship love story.
Let me count the ways I loved Rin: his smile, his courage, his manly hands, his deep voice, his sincere eyes, his loyalty, his strengh… Yep, I’m still in love!
Of course I also really liked the completely disfunctional lead heroine/second male lead romance in King of Baking Kim Tak Goo. While he was far from perfect (actually he was a complete mess), he completely obsessed with the heroine.
The lead heroine/second male lead romance of King of Baking always makes my list of recommended dramas with obsessed/possessive/jealous heroes (or in this case second male leads).
“A drama which wasnโt perfect, but still spoke to my heart, in telling me that we may outgrow our friends, but never their memory.”
Great writing, and now I am ready to cry again over The King Loves’ ending! (I loved it! it just broke my heart in a million pieces!)
Thanks! However, I feel that my writing is very cliche-driven most of the time. That sentence is very true in my own life, so that ending affected me substantially too!
PSLE is starting next thursday! all the best to you & your son, lol! i’m working in the education industry (not a teacher) so i know the schedule & stuff quite well.

This drama was not perfect but the love triangle and the friendship were wonderful. I really miss this drama, and Rin’s dashing outfits!

*cries* Ah! I didn’t know the anniversary was today! Oh, how I miss these characters! It was a flawed drama, but it hit me so hard.

technically the anniversary is 17th July which was the date it premiered, but sometimes i prefer to celebrate it on the finale date. (:

@llljr The finale was my favorite episode, so I completely agree with the sentiment. (:

haha! Wang Rin’s gonna be HJH’s best drama character. it’s hard to find another role that’s better.

I really love those rare dramas where the perfect second lead ends up with the lead heroine.

Thanks for the shout out or I’ll totally missed this. I’m in the throes of exam preparations.
You are right. I was so so smitten with HJH in this drama. He played Rin to perfection and Rin was the most swoonworthy character I’ve seen.
Though I have not been updating my pictures, there’s no one to take HJH’s place. Flower boys and charismatic guys come and go but this one is special.
