A wonderfully gentle TV series that was a pleasure to watch and relax to each evening
We are fast becoming Korean TV fans and The King's Affection (or the The Emperor's Affection as its called on Netflix) is another shining example of the quality being produced in Korea.
Gentle, powerful and romantic suit this series well and midway through we were keenly waiting for that moment in the evening when we could sit down and watch it together.
It is a surprisingly long series with episode lasting approximately 1 hour 10 minutes.. meaning there is almost 24 hours of back to back watching here.
The main downsides came from it taking a while for me to get into it... almost episode 10, whereas my wife was hook after episode 1.
The frequent long pauses between two characters who romantically like each other also gets a little two much, with 30 seconds to 1 minute spent recounting how 'she' felt into 'hit' arms and their eyes meet. It works well the first few times... but after a while I was rolling my eyes each time.
That said, its an excellent series and the last episode brought it to a wonderful.. and surprisingly close.
Highly recommended for viewers who enjoy romantic period dramas. 8 out of 10!
