Home   Kdramas   Weekly K-Drama Recommendations: What I’m Currently Streaming – The King Loves and Encounter

The King Loves

The Crown Prince and his best friend both fall in love with the same woman.

My Ratings:

The shows I share here will only be the ones I like and recommend watching.  I don’t believe in bashing shows because what I don’t like you might love.

I have four rating:

Good – Kept My Interest

Great – I enjoyed it

Loved it – Had me in my feelings

The Best – Made it To My Top Kdrama List

Great – I enjoyed it.

This love triangle had me wanting the woman to be with both men.  She loved them but for different reasons and I could understand why she had a hard time choosing.  I won’t give away who she chose or say if I agree or disagree because that would be a major spoiler.

Kiss Points – Sweet Peck 5

(Points: 1 – Surprise Fish Eyes –  3 – Sweet Peck  5 – Good Kisses – 7 Makes you smile  10 – Makes

Made Me Cry – A couple of times.

Writing lesson – I enjoyed the friendship built inside this series.  The King and his bodyguard then the woman they loved.  They all started as friends, and it blossomed into love. I think showing how the characters friendship grows is important in storytelling.  I also like the love triangle and how it had me wanting each man to be with the woman.  They showed how the men fell in love with her and how she fell in love with them.  One was willing to let the other one have her, and one wasn’t.  What I love about Kdramas as a romance writer is seeing the different ways, they show love and the steps of intimacy.

Encounter

The story of how Suhyeon meets Jinhyeok in Cuba and falls in love. Two young people who come from different backgrounds give up everything to be together.

Rating:

Great – I enjoyed it.

This was an age gap love story, and I could actually see the couple having a long relationship if the stupid in-laws would move on. The FL had been divorced for a few years, but her mother-in-law didn’t want to accept the divorce. She wanted to continue controlling her and her family. 

Kiss Points – 7 – Good Kisses

(Points: 1 – Surprise Fish Eyes –  3 – Sweet Peck  5 – Good Kisses – 7 Makes you smile  10 – Makes

Made Me Cry – A couple of times.

Writing lesson – I liked how they showed the ML showing the FL how to fall in love.  She didn’t experience love in her first marriage because she married to help her family in their political climb.  He showed her how to have fun and not take everything serious.  As a writer you have to show the romance between the couple. It’s not about saying the words I love you.  It’s about showing that action.
