The King’s Face (2014)

Do I truly have the face of someone not meant to be king? – Prince Gwanghae

The King’s Face Synopsis : Gwanghae, the child of a concubine, becomes the crown prince of Joseon. For the next 16 years, the illegitimate prince lives through turbulent times, enduring death threats and possible dethronement. Gwanghae has a contentious relationship with his father King Seonjo, and the two eventually become rivals in politics and love.

• Plot is interesting, satisfying amount of action and nerve-wrecking moments.
• Some people say this drama is boring, but I think it was a really good series.
• Shin Sung Rok is good at playing the bad character. No words needed to describe it.
• As a Seo In Guk fan, I enjoyed this drama just by staring at how hot he is as a prince. He did an awesome job portraying Prince Gwanghae! I loved how he showed his emotion through his eyes.

• The ending was very satisfying and I recommend this to anyone who likes historical dramas!

My Rating – 8.5/10
