"The King 2 Hearts" is a romance comedy between North Korean female sergeant Kim Hang-ah (Ha Ji-won) and arrogant South Korean Prince Lee Jae-ha (Lee Seung-gi) under the setting of a constitutional monarchy. The drama revolved around quickly with more than half of the North Korean cast appearing on the first episode.

Other than Ha Ji-won who plays the role of Kim Hang-ah, Ri Kang-seok (Jung Man-sik), Kwon Yeong-bae (Choi Kwon) and other North Korean characters had a good command of the local dialect. They studied the language for the drama and it naturally blended with the drama but it was so natural that it was hard to understand what they were saying.

Viewers posted on the bulletin, "It's all good but I have no idea what they are saying", "It's so real I can't understand the North Korean dialect", "The girl as Ha Ji-won's friend is amazing in her North Korean speaking", "We need subtitles", "This is tragic" and more.

Kim Hang-ah, Lee Jae-ha and other characters were drawn in detail in this episode and many are anxious to see what happens next.

Ha Ji-won is a charming daughter of a powerful North Korean senior and left a strong impression with her realistic action scene. Lee Seung-gi also made a mark as the freewheeling and arrogant modern prince.

Lee Jae-gyoo and Hong Jin-ah who have come together again after 2008 MBC drama "Beethoven Virus", plan to create a unique and original drama and show off what they are known for.

The way the two leading characters meet in the Worldwide Officer Competition was quick and smooth and aroused anticipation for future episodes.

Meanwhile, "The King 2 Hearts" rated 16.2% on this day.
